Tennis Betting Advice - July 2023

Any reason for the drift? Shelton now 33/1...

Monday 24th July 2023

Just a quick update from me this afternoon - following up on one of the prices from last night's ATP Atlanta picks...

John Isner remains available at a solid 12/1 Each Way across the the board. But our Ones to Watch youngster Ben Shelton has been bumped from the advised 22/1, to a standout 33/1 Each Way at Bet365...

Thanks to Richard for emailing in with that alert.

Any reason for the drift? Not explicitly, no...

I never claim to have any 'secret' or 'special' locker-room knowledge. And in this case, it might not be anything to do with Shelton's fitness. What I can tell you is that young Ben took part in the non-tour Ultimate Tennis Showdown (UTS) event in L.A over the weekend. And will now be making the flight to Atlanta...

And since the Atlanta Open draw was first made and the initial tournament Outright Winner prices went up on Sunday, we now know that world no.39 Shelton will be playing a Qualifier in the 1st round on Tuesday. With the American taking on a fellow lefty, 18-year-old Juncheng Shang of China (ranked no.156).

It could be that Bet365 fancy the Chinese teenager to give Shelton a tough time. Or that the Stoke firm are simply taking a stand against the rest of the market and/ or the money...

While Shelton is now 33/1 with Bet365 as I write - with the market due to close for the day at 6pm, UK time. Betfred are half those odds, at 16/1. With Unibet at 15/1. And others still around the 22/1 and 20/1 mark...

If you see this email before 6pm today, or if the 33s holds tomorrow morning/ afternoon before Tuesday's play starts - and you fancy taking a slice. Here's the link for the Atlanta Open Outright Winner market at Bet365 (when live): click here

I'll be back in the week with more...
