Weekend Tips

This week it is the international break and as such top flight football has been put on hold. Although there is still plenty of betting opportunities to be had. There are still football fixtures in both league 1 and 2. There is also racing from Haydock, Kempton,Ascot, Stratford and Thirsk as well as the final round of Super League action and the US Open reaches it conclusion. So as you can see there is plenty going on.

Tennis:

Williams looking so strong

The US Open reaches it conclusion this weekend as Serena Williams (right) and Victoria Azarenka face-off in the Women's singles final while the men have Semi-finals today with the final tomorrow. Familiar faces are present as Novak Djokovic takes on David Ferrer and Andy Murray takes on Tomas Berdych. The biggest shock is obviously the non-apperence of Roger Federer after he was beaten by Berdych. As a result Murray's route to the final on paper would appear even easier. For me it is a straight forward affair as Murray will face Djokovic in tomorrows final. 

This will give British tennis fans another chance to dream of Grand Slam glory for Murray (right). It goes without saying that Murray has been playing the tennis of his life over the past few months. He looks stronger and will present Djokovic will a real test. His game under new coach Ivan Lendl has improved and will continue to do so. But I have to say I do not think his Grand Slam duck will end here. SkyBet go 9/4 for Murray to win the tournament which is a good price but one I will not be taking. Djokovic at 4/9 looks the best bet, or better still you can forecast the final of Djokovic to beat Murray in the Final at @ 8/11(SkyBet), this bet must be made before either semi-final starts.  Djokovic's performance against Juan Martin Del Potro was enough for me to see him as the winner. 

In the Women's final Serena Williams is hot favourite and considering her recent form you would not bet against her. Stunning displays at Wimbledon and the Olympics would make me extremely confident of  Williams victory. She looks fitter now then she has for the past few years. At 1/6 (SkyBet) she is too short, but perfect for the multiple bet. 

Bet of the day: Djokovic, Murray and Williams @8/11 SkyBet

Football:

I think that a Goals bet is the way to go this weekend. League 1 and 2 always provide plenty of goals.  

Goals: Brentford/Colchester, Yeovil/Bournemouth, Oxford/Exeter , York/Chesterfield, Northampton/AFC Wimbledon and Port Vale/Rotherham  @  20/1 (SkyBet)

Win bet: Sheffield United, Swindon, Southend and Gillingham @8/1 (SkyBet)

Also a Serbian win over Scotland at 13/8 (SkyBet) looks very tempting. 

Rugby League: 

Wins for : Catalan, Wakefield, Hull, Warrington, Leeds @11/10 (SkyBet)

Horse Racing:

Each-Way bet: 2.50 Haydock- Rockinate @14/1 (SkyBet)

Win Bet : 4.30 Haydock - Star of Rohm @7/1 (SkyBet) 

Good Luck with all your bets this weekend.
