Event: Juergen Melzer - Ricardas Berankis, ATP Miami

Bet: Over 22.5 games

Odds: 1.97

Sportsbook: Pinnacle

Stake: 8/10

Projected profits: 7.76

This will be an interesting battle against veteran Melzer and young rising star Berankis. Melzer is at the twilight of his career but still a good player while Berankis is enjoying pretty good form and results lately. I think this match could go either way and that it will be a close one. Interesting fact: last time they played against each other was at the 2011 US Open and the match was a five-setter. The odds are pretty good, worth a try on over 22.5 games.

it will be tough but hopefully Berankis will win this match.

it will be tough but hopefully Berankis will win this match.

Unfortunately Melzer won but the tip was correct, the match had 31 games (3-6 6-3 7-6)

Event: Benjamin Becker - Aljaz Bedene, ATP Miami

Bet: Over 22.5 games

Odds: 2.08

Sportsbook: Pinnacle

Stake: 8/10

Projected profits: 8.64

This match can go either way in my view, experienced Becker faces young talent Bedene with both players determined to make amends after poor displays at Indian Wells. Their only previous match against each other was at this year's Australian Open and Becker won it in four really close sets. I expect a close match again with at least two hard-fought sets, maybe at least one tie-break, or maybe even three sets. The odds are very good at Pinnacle, definitely worth a shot.

It was easier than expected for Bedene, he won 64 63.

Event: James Blake - Julien Benneteau, ATP Miami

Bet: Over 22.5 games

Odds: 1.93

Sportsbook: Pinnacle

Stake: 8/10

Projected profits: 7.44

Should be a close match, Blake seems to be getting in shape while Benneteau is a tough man to beat due to his good service game.

This one didn't go well either, Blake won easier than expected (62 63).

Event: Novak Djokovic - Somdev Dev Varman, ATP Miami

Bet: Under 17 games

Odds: 1.88

Sportsbook: Pinnacle

Stake: 8/10

Projected profits: 7.04

I expect a demolition job from Djokovic today, he totally thrashed Rosol in the previous round and Rosol is at least as good if not better than Dev Varman. I can't see the Indian player taking more than 4 games from Djokovic today.

Just off, Dev Varman managed 6 games, lost 26 46.

Event: Andreas Seppi - Thomaz Bellucci, ATP Miami

Bet: Bellucci +2.5 games

Odds: 2.11

Sportsbook: Pinnacle

Stake: 6/10

Projected profits: 6.66

Seppi is the favourite but I think Bellucci has a good chance of pulling off an upset considering the good tennis he has shown in the previous two rounds, beating Brands and big server Janowicz. Moreover, Seppi was rather unconvincing in the three-set win over Bedene. They have similar records on hard courts and the last time they met was last year in the Moscow final, Seppi won in three sets and by just one game. Bellucci might win but if he doesn't I think it will be very close, so the Asian Handicap option looks pretty good with nice odds as well.

Unfortunately Bellucci crumbled in the third set, things were going well up to that point. Seppi won 75 46 62.

Event: David Ferrer - Kei Nishikori, ATP Miami

Bet: Under 21.5 games

Odds: 1.97

Sportsbook: Pinnacle

Stake: 8/10

Projected profits: 7.76

I expect a comfortable win for Ferrer here, he is determined to make amends after last week's early exit at Indian Wells and he's a much better player than Nishikori anyway. They have already met once this year at the Australian Open and Ferrer won easily, allowing Nishikori just 7 games in three sets.

The prediction was correct, Ferrer won in straight sets, 6-4 6-2.

Event: Paolo Lorenzi - Renzo Olivo, ATP Pereira Challenger

Bet: Under 21.5 games

Odds: 1.83

Sportsbook: Bet365

Stake: 8/10

Projected profits: 6.64

Lorenzi is the firm favourite here, a much more experienced player than Olivo and he has a very good track record in this particular tournament, reaching the final twice and winning the tournament once. Olivo is a talented young lad but if Lorenzi will be focused there's a very good chance of a comfortable straight sets win for the experienced Italian.

Much more difficult than expected for Lorenzi, he did win but Olivo pushed him through three long and close sets.

Event: ATP Miami

Bet: Andy Murray to win tournament

Odds: 1.80

Sportsbook: BetVictor

Stake: 8/10

Projected profits: 6.40

With Djokovic out of the tournament and Federer not taking part at all, Murray has a golden opportunity to win this and I think he's going to take it. He faces Cilic in the quarter final, should win comfortably, and then will probably have a tough test against Berdych in the last four. But Murray has beaten Berdych in the last two meetings and he seems to be playing better and better, so I'm backing him for a tournament win. The odds are pretty good considering he's a clear favourite to win it.

This one seems to be a pretty safe one. Can't wait to see how it's going to end.

The odds have dropped significantly now that Murray has qualified for the final, he's around 1.31 for a win.

The prediction was correct, Murray did win it even though he needed three sets to do that.

Event: Maria Sanchez - Urszula Radwanska, WTA Monterrey

Bet: Radwanska +5.5 games

Odds: 1.94

Sportsbook: Pinnacle

Stake: 8/10

Projected profits: 7.52

Radwanska is the clear favourite, playing well lately on hard courts with decent results in Miami and Indian Wells. She met Sanchez once before, that was last year, and won 62 62. Sanchez has 2 wins and 5 losses on hard courts this season, I expect Radwanska to cruise through here and win comfortably.

Nearly there... Radwanska won the first set 6-2 and the third set 6-2 as well but had a shocking second set which she lost 6-2! Can't really explain that to be honest.

Event: Sorana Cirstea - Anabel Medina Garrigues

Bet: Over 20.5 games

Odds: 1.85

Sportsbook: Pinnacle

Stake: 8/10

Projected profits: 6.80

Both players are in pretty good shape lately, both solid players, so it should be a close match. Moreover, their only two previous encounters ended in three sets, with Medina Garrigues taking the first one last year and Cirstea winning the last one a few weeks ago at Indian Wells. So I think there will be at least two close sets or even three.

Those are really tough predictions, I think that women just have too much ups and downs during the matches.

Agreed, and way too many breaks :)

Unfortunately the match didn't take place, Medina decided to retire before the first point was played.

Event: Eugenie Bouchard - Samantha Stosur, WTA Charleston

Bet: Under 19.5 games

Odds: 2.00

Sportsbook: Paddy Power

Stake: 8/10

Projected profits: 8.00

Stosur seems to be back in shape, played a solid match yesterday on the Charleston clay courts, a surface that suits her very well. Bouchard is a good player, definitely talented, but had a very long match yesterday against Robson in which she allowed six breaks. With such a shaky service game Stosur will probably wrap up the match a lot quicker.

Stosur pulled out of the match due to an injury...

Event: Tottenham vs Everton, Premier League

Bet: Everton win

Odds: 3.79

Sportsbook: Pinnacle

Stake: 5/10

Projected profits: 13.95

Everton have not won at Tottenham in five years but I think they have a pretty good chance today. Tottenham will be without Gareth Bale, by far their best player, and the manager will probably rest a few key players for next week's Europa League clash with Basel. It will be a great opportunity for Everton to get a crucial three points and I feel they might pull it off.

That was pretty close, Everton looked set to win it as they were leading 2-1 but Spurs bagged the equaliser with just three minutes left.

Event: Mehdi Ziadi - Blaz Kavcic, ATP Casablanca

Bet: Under 17.5 games

Odds: 1.81

Sportsbook: Pinnacle

Stake: 9/10

Projected profits: 7.29

Kavcic feels nice on clay courts, won 35 matches out of 55 last season on this surface. Ziadi is a local player that got a wild card but he's really weak, ranked 755th in the world and he's not really young either. Kavcic is coming from a rather poor streak of results and I think he will be determined to make up for that in the clay court season, starting today. A comfortable straight sets win for Kavcic is what should happen.

Just one game off, Kavcic won 6-2 6-4 but allowed way too much breathing space to his opponent in the second set...

Hmm... I've never heard of  Mehdi Ziadi; I guess he didn't feel any pressure and played freely.

Hmm... I've never heard of  Mehdi Ziadi; I guess he didn't feel any pressure and played freely.

He's fairly weak, makes lots of mistakes. I've watched the second set yesterday and Kavcic lacked patience, that's why he conceded those 4 games. He tried to make rallies shorter but ended up conceding points.

Event: Dortmund vs Malaga, Champions League

Bet: Dortmund to win -1.5 Asian Handicap

Odds: 2.01

Sportsbook: Pinnacle

Stake: 6/10

Projected profits: 6.06

Dortmund are clear favourites tonight in my view, they were really unlucky not to win the first leg. Tonight they play in front of their fantastic fans and I think they will beat Malaga quite clearly, by at least two goals.

Malaga were a lot better than expected, they nearly won it but Dortmund scored two goals in stoppage time to win it 3-2.

Event: Stanislas Wawrinka - Blaz Kavcic, ATP Casablanca

Bet: Wawrinka -5 games

Odds: 1.90

Sportsbook: Pinnacle

Stake: 8/10

Projected profits: 7.20

Wawrinka is the top seed in this tournament so he will most likely want to win it, especially since clay is his favourite surface. Kavcic is having a poor run and was quite shaky in the first round against unknown local player Ziadi. The odds are decent on the -5 Asian Handicap option, worth a try considering the difference in quality between the two players.

Yes, Wawrinka whould beat Kavcic. Hopefully, he will keep a high level of concentration. 

The prediction was correct, Wawrinka won by more than five games. But it wasn't as easy as expected as Kavcic won the first set 6-4 before dropping the following two sets 6-2 6-1.

Event: Grega Zemlja - Kevin Anderson, ATP Casablanca

Bet: Anderson -1.5 sets

Odds: 2.10

Sportsbook: BetVictor

Stake: 8/10

Projected profits: 8.80

Anderson seems in pretty good shape, played well here so far and has to be full of confidence after reaching quarter final in Indian Wells and third round in Miami. On the other hand Zemlja was quite shaky in the first two rounds in Casablanca. The odds are good on a straight sets victory for Anderson, worth a try.

The prediction was correct, Anderson won in straight sets, 6-4 6-4. Nice profit on this one if you have taken it.

Event: Auxerre vs Monaco, French League 2

Bet: Monaco to win

Odds: 2.60

Sportsbook: Pinnacle

Stake: 5/10

Projected profits: 8.00

This match in the French second tier soccer league could well bring a win for Monaco, who are leading the table and are eager to secure promotion to the top flight as soon as possible. Auxerre are safely in mid-table, no promotion hopes and no relegation worries, and they do seem to lack motivation lately. They have drawn 0-0 with the last placed team last week and they are also missing three important players due to injuries. On the other hand Monaco have recorded four consecutive draws in the last matches, so I think it's time for them to win, odds are great for moderate stakes.

The prediction was correct, Monaco won 2-0 with both goals scored before half time.

Event: Genoa vs Sampdoria, Italy Serie A

Bet: Draw

Odds: 3.31

Sportsbook: Pinnacle

Stake: 4/10

Projected profits: 9.24

This derby is extremely important for both teams, even more so since both sides had a disappointing season so far. Genoa are in desperate need for points if they want to stay up this season but Sampdoria can't afford to lose this one either since a defeat might pull them back towards the relegation zone. It will be a tense derby and I think it will end in a draw since both teams will do their best to avoid defeat.

The prediction was correct again, Genoa vs Sampdoria ended 1-1 and quite a nice profit on this one if you have taken it.

Event: FC Vaslui - FC Brasov, Romanian Liga 1

Bet: Vaslui win

Odds: 1.62

Sportsbook: William Hill

Stake: 9/10

Projected profits: 5.58

FC Vaslui were a big disappointment this season in the Romanian soccer league, they were expected to be in the title race but their up and down form left them in 6th place with 8 games remaining. However, they have changed their head coach last week and that usually gives teams a moral boost and a bit more enthusiasm, at least in the first match with the new boss in charge. FC Brasov have nothing left to fight for, they are well clear of relegation, so I think FC Vaslui will win today, considering the superior determination due to the new boss factor.

Close but not close enough, ended 1-1.

Event: Jerzy Janowicz - Kevin Anderson, ATP Monte Carlo

Bet: Over 22.5 games

Odds: 2.00

Sportsbook: Pinnacle

Stake: 5/10

Projected profits: 5.00

Anderson is coming from a very good run in Casablanca, reached the final there which he lost against Robredo, so he's in good shape and confident. Janowicz on the other hand has a solid clay court record of 56 wins to 34 losses. Both are big servers so I expect a close match with not too many breaks, odds are good for the over 22.5 option so it's worth a try.

The prediction was correct, Anderson won in two very close sets, 7-5 7-6, that makes 25 games.

Event: Albert Ramos - Fabio Fognini, ATP Monte Carlo

Bet: Over 21.5 games

Odds: 1.69

Sportsbook: Pinnacle

Stake: 9/10

Projected profits: 6.21

Fognini pulled off an impressive win over fellow Italian Seppi in the first round, played a few brilliant points but, as always, also showed quite a few moments of lack of concentration and composure which led to many unforced errors. Ramos came through qualifying, he feels great on clay courts, and I'm sure he will want to push Fognini as far as possible. They have met twice before on clay courts, one win apiece. I think it will be a close match with two long sets or even three.

Off by just one game, Fognini won 6-3 7-5...
