Victor Chandler have made a rick IMHO as they have priced up the hugely in form Argentine Juan Martin Del Potro at 10/1 to win the French Open. He has a soft Quarter Final with rank outsider Tommy Robredo and with Nadal and Djokovic already out, the world No.5 should only be half that price.
In fact he is trading at 6/1 on Betfair and his best price elsewhere is 6/1. I have just got on over the phone at 10/1 - get in there now before someone realises.
This is a bet to lay as his record vs the big 4 is awful, but if he wins his quarter he will be about 4/1 for honours - or you can simply lay it now on Betfair for instant rewards.
RECOMMENDATION: DEL POTRO TO WIN FRENCH OPEN 10/1 VCBET (Bet to lay)
I tidied up my book a bit today.
I laid Safina at 1.9 (9/10) today for a free bet. If she wins that is 3.1 times my stake with no penalty if she loses and I laid Serena at the same price 1.9 (9/10) for a free bet. If she wins that is 1.1 times my stake with no penalty if she loses. I did this slightly differently laying her in her quarter final match with Kuznetsova instead of on the 4th Quarter market.
Good luck Johnny, a proper steal.

If you can spot one of these errors a month it is possible to make a real good dent in losses incurred on other bets.

You have to keep your eyes peeled but the value is out there and as you've said, its those three magic words, 'back to lay'.

He's 5/1 this morning. I could simply trade him in but I will gamble and see how he performs today.

Easy today Johnny, he's drifted a tad as he's got Fed, I've notice this happen in the latter stages of tennis tournaments before, if you have a strong fav still in they start to seriously shorten while eveyone else stays static or drifts.
One option to consider ahead of the semi's is to lay Del Potro for his match (currently around 11/4) rather than in the outright. If you can leave yourself something to play with 'cos if he does get through he'll be odds.

Chickened out - I laid my bet at 6s this morning so I have a free bet to win 4pts (should have laid for an extra pint yesterday GGGGRRRRR)
