maryann — Thu, 13 May 2010 07:12:13 +0000

The 2010 Valero Texas Open is about to take place and of course we want everyone to get really excited about it and so we unveil the 2010 Valero Texas Open odds set by bookmakers.

Odds of 11/1 were for Ernie Els as the favorite to win the Valero Texas Open at San Antonio this week. And odds of 16/1 were for Zach Johnson, winner in both 2008 and 2009, as the second favorite to make it in this week’s big event.

Els was made the favorite to win the Valero Texas Open most likely because he has already two great accomplishments in the tour this year. Els actually missed the cut last week at the Players Championship however kept the highest rank, thus he could simply win the said event.

While the US Masters Champion in 2007, Johnson, has won one or two tour events but for some not that significant. And Johnson has been at number 32 in the world for some time now, and has also been in not so good form while trying to get the year’s first top ten finish.

Other players will be present too in the event just like for example Australian Adam Scott. And the odds for this player were revealed to be 25/1. Currently at 43rd and just not in good form as well. But he has been actually making sharp ball strikes and this is something to consider.

Sergio Garcia will actually be in the event as well however the player only has odds of 33/1. In the early stages of a big tournament recently, Garcia did well and if he’d just do same thing in the event of this week, he’d surprise everyone by beating others like Els, Johnson and Scott. In the rankings, the Spaniard has already slipped to 27th.

The popular William Hill has actually revealed recently the odds in regards to the future of Chelsea after the team’s Champions League game against Inter Milan. However, this move by the sports betting firm indeed made Chelsea fans feel really troubled about the future of their favorite team, the odds just made them really wonder if the team will really end the season without a trophy.

Odds of 6/4 were revealed, for Chelsea to actually end the season without a trophy, and this despite the team staying in the second place in the Premier League for some time.

The famous team was actually beaten 1-0 at the Stamford Bridge by Inter Milan, which too bad sent the team out of the competition 3-1.

“Ancelotti could be just the latest in a long line of Chelsea bosses who have paid for failure in Europe by losing their job,” said spokesman Graham Sharpe of William Hill.

While Jose Mourinho was unveiled to be at odds of 14/1 then to actually make a surprise come back at the Stamford Bridge as manager.

And Mourinho’s current team, Inter Milan, was revealed to be at 4/1 as third favorite to win the Champions League just behind Barcelona, the favorite, and Manchester United which only ended as runner up last year. Barcelona as favorite was listed then at odds of 9/4 and the last year’s runner up at 7/2.

The odds often mean everything to the fans. And these fans actually often become so troubled because of odds of certain bookmakers, which should actually be not the case. Fans should not really be so considerate of the odds of such bookmakers. It is the winning capacity or potential of the team they’re up that will matter the most. And anything can just happen, anything is just so possible with a team that has the winning capacity or potential.

maryann — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 08:55:01 +0000

They might not be the best players to compete for the Australian Open Ladies Final title, but Serena Williams and Justine Henin are just worthy to get a chance on it. And it is hard to know who between them will win it.

It is a bit hard to determine who between the number 1 seed and the former world number 1 will dominate the match and bring home the much coveted title.

The bookmakers for an instance, they can’t ascertain who really will soon be successful, if who will win the Australian Open Ladies Final and take home the most sought after title. Bet365 for example, listed both Williams and Henin at odds of 10/11 to make it at the Australian Open event. There are some other bookmakers, which like Bet365, seemed also indecisive with regards to who will win the Australian Open Ladies Final title.

Therefore, may be the best thing that tennis fans and even bettors should do is to consider what stats of Williams and Henin try to say. If this is so, then tennis fans and even bettors will most likely go for Williams as he seems in capacity to go on top by the narrowest margins.

On the WTA tour, Williams and Henin have met 13 times. Williams won for 7 times and Henin 6. The first few meetings can be really for Williams however Henin managed to come out on top towards the last few meetings.

Still the game of Williams and Henin is interesting. It is something that tennis fans and even bettors should anticipate. It is going to be a brilliant game filled with thrill and fun.

Will it be Williams who will win the Australian Open Ladies Final title? Or will it be Henin? Both has good chances on the title.

The Abu Dhabi Golf event has gone a long way and so far we can say it has already captured the interest of many golfers, including those who are considered as the world’s top 14 golfers. Indeed, eight out of these have been anticipated to be on the Abu Dhabi golf course this week.

Lee Westwood, the World No. 4 and winner of the 2009 Road to Dubai, has been expected to lead the way and then get a good new year start with same style he used to end the year 2009.

For the favoritism to win the event, Westwood is actually one of the three players competing. The two others who vie for it are Geoff Ogilvy, the World No. 9, and Rory McIlroy, the World No. 10.

With Bet365, Westwood, Ogilvy, and McIlroy can be backed at odds of 12/1 to make it at the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship.

Aside from the golfers mentioned, there is also the reigning Abu Dhabi champion Paul Casey who is also backed at good odds. Of course, there is also Henrik Stenson, the World No. ,7 and also Sergio Garcia who is anticipated to perform at his best following his defeat in 2009 that has placed him in the 13th place in rankings.

It seems that the reigning Abu Dhabi champion has already mastered how to dominate the tournament as he has actually won it twice. So with his record, he seems very capable of making it at the course.

However, for some bookmakers, Garcia has been working hard pre-season to have his game together and so seems like ready to play in the championship. He seems in good condition and therefore is listed at odds of 25/1 by VC Bet. He is actually backed at great odds.

The bookmaker seemed to have faith on the capacity of England to host one huge event but then the politics of world football remains considerable. It is something to really take a look at.

Since 2002, it was their first time not to make it.

But Benitez is also 6/4 to separate from Anfield before the end of the campaign. While the Merseysiders are at 1/5 to win no silverware this season.

Despite beating Debrecen 1-0 on Tuesday night in Budapest, Liverpool decided to withdraw from the Champions League. Most likely, the decision was all because of Fiorentian defeating Lyon in the other Group E fixture to book their place for the last 16.

Shaktar Donetsk, on the other hand, also got acknowledgment for being second favorites to win the Europa League at a general 10/1. Good achievement so far after winning the league in its past format last year. And Roma can be back at 12/1, while Valencia at 14/1.
