Alex’s WTA Charleston Outright Preview
It’s time for everyone’s favorite “clay” tournament of the year! We’re in Charleston, USA for a WTA 500 event on green “clay” this week. I say “clay” because this is not the red dirt we see in Roland Garros, Rome, or most other clay events. … Continue readingAlex’s WTA Charleston Outright Preview

It’s time for Copa Colsanitas or, as you may know it, the WTA 250 event in Bogota, Colombia. This is one of my favorite events because it is a very unique location. Bogota sits at an altitude of 8,612 feet or 2,640 meters for those … Continue readingAlex’s WTA Bogota Outright Preview
WTA Miami – Collins vs Rybakina
Although she has found a way in her third sets this tournament, I still don’t think we are seeing the best tennis from Rybakina at the moment. She had to withdraw from Indian Wells, and has been taken to 3 sets by Tauson, Townsend, Sakkari … Continue readingWTA Miami – Collins vs Rybakina

The Story of Us: My origins in political betting, New York oysters and why overestimating conservatives is a fool’s errand
by Zeus O’Dea I’ve been considering writing about political betting for a very long time. How should I start? What should I talk about? Would people be interested? As a bettor with some semblance of a clue, sometimes you’re loathe to give out information. I … Continue readingThe Story of Us: My origins in political betting, New York oysters and why overestimating conservatives is a fool’s errand
Jake’s Miami Preview: Kwon vs. Muller
What goes up must come down, and what goes down must come up.

Jake’s Miami Preview: Draper vs. Daniel
It makes me feel quite uneasy that I’ve ended up with a host of favourites in the opening round of Miami, but unfortunately I can’t control which prices I disagree with, and this time around I’m betting into the shorts.

Jake’s Miami Preview: Murray vs. Berrettini
I don’t think Andy Murray is lighting the world on fire in 2024, but I’m quite sure the level he’s been presenting is good enough to trouble a fatigued Matteo Berrettini. The Italian played a torrid schedule in the final couple of days at Phoenix, … Continue readingJake’s Miami Preview: Murray vs. Berrettini
