Tank alert Valentin Vacherot

The Monaco boy has a wildcard to this weekends ATP Monte-Carlo Masters.

I could see him tank against the local boy Preda. 

Preda just broke, but you still get 3/1 on him ML.

20/1 now 

from 1-2 to 6-2 Vacherot takes the 1st set.

If he would tank, it would be better for him to take to 1st set...let's see adding some more at 19/1. 

Preda saved 0/3 BB and Vacherot 7/8.

Also Preda to win over 4.50 games. 

Such a stupid take 

First of all tanking means to lose on purpose (because you don’t want to play etc.) - I think you mean “matchfixing” for an amateur they can seem the same - but one of them is illegal the other is frown upon but not something that is being enforced

You literally defined both as losing on purpose: Tanking = lose on purpose, Match-fixing = lose on purpose. The only difference you’re hinting at is motive—like match-fixing involves money while tanking might not. But let’s not be naive here: match-fixing happens in tennis daily, and it’s impossible to prove. The line between the two is blurry at best.

Preda to win over 4.50 games 

If they were the same both of them would either be illegal or not - they aren’t so they are not the same end of story - and nice hit what was that odds -200 ?

Thank you, it was 9/5.

And what would be the advantage of losing the first set on purpose if you wanted to lose on purpose because you didn’t want to play the match - your argument only makes sense if they wanted to profit from it

He did his best faced 13 breack chances against a 1000 ranked player.

He only faced 2 against Basilashvili in 3 sets. 

he gave the kid all chances to win that game

No way in hell you got that at 9/5 for him just winning 3 games in the 2set 

It would not be a surprise when it comes to Vacherot who lost lost week 1st round against a 700 ranked player in straight sets, that same player lost 6-0 in his last game, so a pretty shiitty player to lose in straight against as a 1.10 favorite. 

At that time he had won 6 straight games, had broken him 3 straight games and started to serve in the 2nd so only needed 2 breaks in the 2nd. 

Sorry you missed it

Adding

Harrison/king + McDonald/Michelsen

Harrison/King have been great this year.

Dallas: Winner

Delray: Final

Acapulco: Winner

Indian Wells: Semi-final

Miami: Quarter-final

I think the fast surface will favour them as well, they playing Seggerman R. / Trhac P who is 2-5 in their last 7 matches and 1-1 this year. They are better on clay than Harrison/king who haven't played any clay matches together, but with this surface I have to go with  King and Harrison. 

McDonald/Michelsen have had some really good double wins in the past years winning over some top 10 players. Michelsen looks really good yesterday and same here with the quick surface would favor them here. 

Would like to hear your thoughts on the Michael Mmoh vs Adam Walton match. See a play here but need to make sure it is worth the risk.

Ugo Carrabelli + Comesana   

 6-2

suprised Walton is a dog here, probably because he never plays on clay but with these fast courts he should be favourite.
