Jake’s Australian Open Outright Preview: Special Markets

Posted on

Hey, guys.

Before we get started I’d like to make it clear that these market types won’t feature on my tracking sheet.

The reason being is that it’s too hard for a lot of people to get volume down, and I feel they’re best left off the sheet.

That being said, there’s people out there who can get set, and hopefully these bets are helpful.

The following markets are available at Bet365 as of 2:43am AEST.

1.5 units Alex De Minaur to be eliminated in ROUND FOUR @ $3.40

Alex De Minaur’s win over Novak Djokovic in the United Cup worked wonders for the fan support in Melbourne, but I think it’s driven in his projected SP a little too far.

The Australian is heavy odds-on to face either Andrey Rublev or Sebastian Korda, and I’ve got him an underdog against the Russian and slight odds-on against Korda.

He should scrape past Arnaldi and Kotov/Cobolli, but things get a lot harder after that.

1 unit Casper Ruud to reach round 4 @ $1.80 with Bet365

Max Purcell + Cam Norrie looks the most likely equation for Ruud, and I think he’s a great shot to knock ’em both off.

Ruud’s quiet 2023 has left him somewhat under the radar but if this draw opens up he’s not millions to go on a sneaky run.

0.5 units Stefanos Tsitsipas to reach round 4 @ $1.66
0.5 united Stefanos Tsitsipas to reach the quarter-finals @ $2.50


I don’t love what I’ve seen from Stef so far but this little section is headed by he and Taylor Fritz, and I think the American is a bit out of sorts.

Thursday’s match against Jordan Thompson won’t be straight forward, but I think if he gets past him he’ll be more than confident enough to move past Musetti or Arnaldi.
