Next 30-day experiment starts now.
Lessons from the first 30:
• Don’t force a bet just to post daily
• Volume ≠ edge
• Not every day has a good play
• Some days = 2–3 spots, some days = none
• Bet sizes will vary (not flat $100 anymore)
• Occasional parlay is fine (when it makes sense)
Biggest takeaway:
Don’t force action.
From here:
Selective. Patient. Higher conviction. Smarter sizing.
Same transparency. Sharper execution.
6/16/26 WTA Berlin Recap
(Match was delayed to 6/17/26)
Eala beat Vekic 7-5, 6-4. I pivoted to Vekic last minute. That was the wrong call.
Everything pointed to Eala — fresh legs, 21 vs. 29. Vekic looked tired from her Queen's run. Eala played with energy and never let up.
Should have trusted the process.

6/16/26 WTA Berlin
Donna Vekic vs Alexandra Eala
Everything points to Eala here. Vekic is 29 and just played 5 matches in 5 days to win Queen's Club as a lucky loser. She then has to fly to Germany and play her first round match against Eala in 48 hours. At 29 years old, that takes a toll.
Eala is 21, rested, and owns the H2H 1-0. Fresh legs, youth, matchup edge and she's the underdog. Eala +110 moneyline seems like the clear value.
But I'm pivoting last minute to Donna Vekic -130.
Here's why: Champions find a way. Vekic just proved she's a champion. The confidence from that title run carries over more than the fatigue hurts. Give me the veteran who just lifted a trophy.
6/14/26 WTA London Final Recap
Over 22.5 ❌ — Raducanu lost 6-0, 7-6. 19 total games.
She fought back from a bagel to push a tiebreak, but the slow start was the difference. Brutal week caught up — two matches Saturday, left thigh strapped, and Vekic was just sharper from the first ball.
Wanted Raducanu to lift the trophy. She deserved it after this run. Sometimes the comeback falls just short.
-$42
6/14/26 WTA London Final
Queens final: rolling with Over 22.5 (-105).
Raducanu has been playing out of her mind — she deserves this title. But Vekic is a proven grass veteran who won't go away quietly. Expect a battle.
Two competitive sets or a third set cashes this ticket. Let's see Raducanu lift the trophy.
6/13/26 WTA London Recap
Well, that was a beatdown. Raducanu won 6-2, 6-2. Total games: 16. Over 21.5 never had a chance.
Thought Jovic would win and Raducanu would keep it competitive. Instead, Raducanu was firing on all cylinders and Jovic had no answers.
The pick was wrong. Sometimes the underdog just runs away with it.
-$46
6/13 WTA London
Raducanu vs Jovic over 21.5 (-115).
Jovic wins this — she's been flawless and has the rest advantage.
But Raducanu is battle-tested, playing at home, and won't go away quietly.
Expect two competitive sets or a third set. Either way, 22+ games.
6/13/26 WTA London Recap
Raducanu won 6-3, 7-5 — 21 total games. Under 20.0 loses by 1 game. That's the razor's edge of betting totals.
Process was right: ML was unplayable (-450), -5.0 spread was too large. The total was the sharpest angle. Sometimes the number just lands on the wrong side.
-$46
6/13/26 WTA London
Not touching Raducanu ML (-450) or -5.0 spread. Too much juice, too large a number to cover.
Instead: Under 20.0 Total Games (-115).
Raducanu has been winning quick — 6-0, 6-3 and 6-4, 6-2. Rakhimova is a qualifier who lacks the firepower to extend. The total is the better play because it just requires the match to end quickly, which is exactly what her form suggests.
6/11/26 WTA Recap
(The match was delayed until today due to rain.)
Raducanu ML ✅ — cashes easily.
6-4, 6-2. British home hope on grass. Cirstea had no answers once Raducanu found her range.
At EVEN money, that was pure value.
+$50
6/11/26 WTA London
Taking Emma Raducanu ML vs. Sorana Cirstea at EVEN odds.
Cirstea beat Raducanu last time 6-0, 6-2 on hard courts. On grass, Raducanu is a different player — she’s a former Wimbledon 4th rounder and just dismantled Anna Blinkova 6-0, 6-3 at Queen’s. She’s playing with "clarity," moving freely, and taking the ball early. Cirstea is a clay-court specialist.
Value on Raducanu at even money on her best surface against a player who struggles on grass.
6/10/26 WTA London Recap
Took a small sprinkle on Eala +150. She lost 6-2, 6-2. That's a beatdown.
Credit where it's due: Jovic had zero grass matches in 2026 coming in, but she adjusted instantly. Lightning-fast footwork, clean striking, never looked uncomfortable. Eala's Birmingham title didn't matter today.
-$30
6/10/26 WTA London
Small sprinkle on Alexandra Eala +150 vs. Iva Jovic.
Jovic leads the H2H 1-0, but that was on hard court. Here's what matters now: Eala just won Birmingham on grass — 4-1 on the surface in 2026. Jovic has zero grass matches this year.
Grass is a different sport. Eala's confidence is sky high. At +150, it's worth a look.
6/8/26 WTA London Recap
Part 2
Boulter ✅ — comes ALL the way back.
3-6, 7-6, 7-5. Down a set, saved by the rain, then grinded out the comeback. British home hope on grass. That's the fight we backed.
+$56
6/8/26 WTA London
Locking in two grass plays:
Karolina Pliskova -122 vs Kessler. Pliskova is former World #1 on her best surface. Big serve, flat groundstrokes, built for grass. Kessler is the reigning Nottingham champion and a proven grass player, but Pliskova's ceiling is higher.
Katie Boulter +112 vs Fernandez — British home hope. Grass is her surface and leads H2H 2-1. Fernandez struggling (11-14 in 2026).
Transition week. Trust the veterans.
6/8/26 WTA London Recap
Part 1
Pliskova ✅ — 6-7, 6-3, 6-4. Dropped the first set, turned it around. The veteran experience on grass showed.
Boulter ⏸️ — suspended down a set, on serve in the second. Finish pending.
One in the books. One on hold.
+$40.98
6/9/26 Recap
Cirstea -5.5 ❌ — wins the match, loses the cover. 6-4, 5-7, 6-2. The second set collapse pushed the margin to +4. Needed 5.5.
Kostyuk withdrew → Stojsavljevic bet voided. Push.
One loss, one void.
-$40
6/9/26 WTA London
Two plays for Queens:
Mika Stojsavljevic +5.5 (+115) vs Marta Kostyuk.
The clay-to-grass transition is brutal. Kostyuk just played a grueling clay season — 17-match win streak, titles in Rouen and Madrid, a semifinal run at Roland Garros. That is an enormous physical and mental workload. Now she has to flip her footwork, adjust her timing, and trust her movement on a completely different surface in a matter of days. Even elite players struggle with this transition.
Grass is already Kostyuk's worst surface statistically. Coming off a deep clay run, her chances of a blowout win are even lower. The clay-to-grass transition note strengthens the Stojsavljevic case significantly. Kostyuk's legs and timing are unlikely to be sharp in her first match back on grass after that marathon clay swing.
Sorana Cirstea -5.5 (+105) — Cirstea is ranked #18, just made Roland Garros QF, and has won 8 of her last 10. Inglis is #151 and 6-25 career vs. top-100 opposition.
Getting plus money on a top-20 player to cover a gettable spread against a qualifier.
5/26/26 French Open
Locking in Laura Siegemund +4.5 (+101).
Osaka is a hard-court power player who has always struggled on clay. Siegemund is a pure clay-court grinder who frustrates big hitters with slice, junk, and off-pace rallies.
She doesn't get blown out. The +4.5 cushion covers a 6-4, 6-4 loss. At +101, this is value.
5/25/26 Recap
French Open first round — one cashed, one push:
✅ Bondar +5.5 — Svitolina won 3-6, 6-1, 7-6. Three-set battle. The cushion was never in danger.
↔️ Sonmez +4.0 — Kasatkina won 6-4, 6-4. Exactly 4 games. Push. Not a win, not a loss.
One hit, one push. Value on the underdog spreads.
+$38.14
5/25/26 WTA French Open
My two bets for tomorrow's French Open first round matches:
1. Anna Bondar +5.5 (-118) vs. Svitolina — Bondar is a true clay specialist. Svitolina rarely blows anyone out. Huge cushion.
2. Zeynep Sonmez +4.0 (-121) vs. Kasatkina. Sonmez is an improving young player. Kasatkina will most likely win but Sonmez covers.
