January 2, 2010

So we began the sporting year yesterday - and with it my attempt to try and predict stuff that happens in the sporting world and keep track of my success rate. We'll start with my predictions for sporting events beginning January 2.


I'll make two predictions for each event - a head to head winner and a more specific score bet.

Hopman Cup 2010 Day One

Samantha Stosur (AUS) vs. Sorana Cirstea (ROM)

Prediction: Stosur $1.18
Score bet: Stosur 2-1 $4.60

Lleyton Hewitt (AUS) vs. Victor Hanescu (ROM)

Prediction: Hewitt $1.13
Score bet: Number of games 20 or under: $1.76

Prediction: Atlanta $1.09
Score bet: Atlanta -9.5 $1.65
