=> Total over 18.5 games 1.729 odds.

World No. 1 Iga Sventek (Poland) takes on No. 151 Kathy McNally (USA). Before that tennis players did not play. At the tournament, Mcnally has already played four matches in which she lost only one set in the 1/8 finals to Karolina Muchova (Czech Republic) Iga Sviatek played only half of the match at the tournament, after which Ayla Tomlyanovic withdrew from the tournament. Without a doubt, the clear favorite in this confrontation is Iga Sventek. In my opinion, I think more games. I will bet on the total total is over (18.5) game.

FNATIC VS ETERNAL FIRE (BO3 CSGO IEM RIO)

In this tournament, FNATIC started off really well defeating Aurora 16-4 easily but went on to perform quite off against FaZe missing MANY chances to close out the game and then horrible against B8 where they were HEAVILY favored by all bookmakers. A disappointing display past 2 games, very inconsistent but we know they can be a menace whenever they're in form!

At the start of this tourney, EF started off with a 14-16 loss against Bad News Eagle where both teams played really well and followed up with another loss to Australis 9-16 however, things started to change when Xanteras and Woxic played past their limits absolutely dominating the game against Aurora for a 2-1 (2map) win. A very difficult and weird team but with Xanteras and Woxic's incredible abilities to consistently drop high numbers, they have a really good chance of taking 1 map.

 

MY prediction:

1. Eternal Fire removed Ancient

2. Fnatic removed Dust2

3. Eternal Fire picked Inferno

4. Fnatic picked Overpass

5. Fnatic removed Mirage

6. Eternal Fire removed Vertigo

7. Nuke was left over Inferno

EF wins Inferno

Fnatic wins overpass (they are best on this map)

DEcider nuke gets won by fnatic concluding the match with a 2-1 for fnatic.

Both teams are likely to play well but it is likely to be won by Fnatic given how they are generally much better and nuke is still their 2nd best map.

But my pick for this competition is that it goes over 2.5+ map. There is a chance Fnatic might go out of form and play bad and EF is JUST as good, perhaps a little less? IT is quite unclear since they have not went up against each other before and fnatic members are really inconsistent compared to EF. Both teams are very dominant when it comes to their picks so this is a safe choice.

Not a great start this month for me, so I have switched from the men's game to Women's game and an International game between two of the top ranked teams in the world. And the bookies are expecting this match to be a cagey affair with maybe a slim victory for either side, the odds would suggest this but I think there is always the chance of goal in women's games, it is fact the keepers are smaller and there is more space on the pitch and this normally means more goals. The women's game has progressed as some people would say to be more like the men's game which can be like a game chess at times with neither team willing to commit, afraid to make a mistake which would cost the match. The women's game is becoming more like this with the skill level increasing but I think we will see goals tonight maybe four or five so my pick is over 2.5 goals @2/10 on Bet365.

I little bit watched the game of Norbert Gombos in the first round with Escoffier. He looked in bad form. He lost the first set in general. Norbert Gombos clearly did not have the skill to put the squeeze on. This is where you have to run. Hugo Gaston is arguably the good tennis player on the tour. I think many can finish it shortened. Another minus for Gombos does not hold a long draw at all. And such a side plus for hugo Gaston is the game at home. I think his goal is to win, otherwise why miss five hundred and play here. 
My beting pick will be Hugo Gaston win 1.75 odds.

Ernesto Escobedo and Zachary Swajda
Escobedo's odds are 2.09, my money's on him.

Ernesto Escobedo and Zachary Swajda will cross racquets for the second time since August. The first match was dictated by the younger Zachary in Chicago in the 1/8 finals. This time they will meet in the quarterfinals of the tournament in Tiburon. Expect a rematch from the more experienced Ernesto?

Surface: Hard

Speed: 7/10

Current Escobedo rating: 200

Escobedo's win balance (2022): 22-25

Escobedo's win balance (hard): 14-13

Swajde's current rating: 379

Swajde's win balance (2022): 21-18

Swajde's win balance (hard): 21-12

Statistical facts for Escobedo vs. Swajda match:
Escobedo has won six of its last ten matches on the hard court as an underdog at odds of 2.00 to 3.00.

The last nine matches involving Swajda have been played in at least 21 games.

Face-to-face meetings between Escobedo and Swajda:
2-2 score in head-to-head encounters. The last match was won by Swajda in mid-August on hard court (6-4, 6-2).  

Ernesto Escobedo vs Zachary Swajda:
Quotes on Escobedo's win look fantastic, because we are talking about an experienced hardcore player and ex-representative of the top 100, who earlier this season won the Challenger again on hard. This may have something to do with the last match in favor of his younger counterpart, but it seems that this argument is still not enough.  At 19, Swajda remains a more or less promising player who has been surprising in recent weeks. But as the tournament went on, Ernesto apset Vachero, playing a perfect game on his serve, which was flying at an excellent percentage (66) while executing 83 percent, never lost a single serve. He's a better player in his class and he can't be the underdog on hard serve in a single game, regardless of his current form. As for Swajda, he played an extremely broken match against Holmgren and in the third game he miraculously conceded 0:40 on serve at the very end. He rebounded against Memo with 1:5 in the decisive game. He can't always bounce back, especially again Escobedo looks too good right now.

1. Chicago finally made it to the playoffs. True, the Bulls immediately lost to the Milwaukee. The series was lost 1-3.
The Bulls did not make any special changes in the off-season. Only Andre Drummond can be singled out. 
2. An experienced center in the new season will defend the colors of Chicago. In his first preseason game against New Orleans, Drummond managed seven rebounds and four points. But it did not help his team. The Bulls lost to the Pelicans 125-129.
3. Denver had a hard time making the playoffs last season . Nikola Jokic had to drag the team on his own. The rest of the leaders were healing injuries, so they couldn’t help the Serb much.
4. The management of the team did not change anything in particular in the composition of the nuggets In the new season, all hope for Jamal Murray, Michael Porter and Nikola Jokic.  Caldwell-Pope was signed to strengthen, but this is not the kind of player who can replace any of the leaders. 

Bet: over 218.5 
Odds: 1.72 odds

YEA GOT INTERNET BACK I FEEL WHOLE AGAIN LOL

MLB PLAYOFFS (wild card)

San Diego VS NYM 

Observation- if theres a pattern here it the under in these series so far in the first 2 matchups only 4 runs have come in thats 36 innings only 4 runs so im going with the under here as well. Both teams putting up there best pictcher and these games are must win as its best of 3 games if u lose 2 ur out of the playoffs. I feel this game wont go above 7 runs or even 5 but to be safe im going under 7. The mets have won 101 games but most of them were low scoring games 72 out of the 101 wins were under 7. San diego also doesnt allow alot of runs per game ez under lock ... all MLB game to be under in the next 3 days.

Prediction is under 7 at 1.61 pinnacle
