So where are the openings today? I'm going to take a punt on England in the First Test against the Australians. They are currently priced at 1.92, and with no weather issues around, we should see a a result. I don't care what the Australians bring to the party, I don't rate them and I think they'll struggle. The toss could be quite crucial as England, if they win it, could really put the Aussies under the pump straight away and put a decent score on the board. Never under-estimate the first sessions of the series as a barometer for going forward.
In the J League I'm going for the home side Omiya v Nagoya at 2.22. Omiya are top and will look to bounce back to winning ways after a draw last game. Nagoya haven't won away for 8 matches.
There's tennis on and the Aussie Open snooker, so there may be some opportunities there. One thing I want to pick up on is the market over-reaction to Simona Halep's recent success. She was around 1.09 yesterday and is around 1.07 today. To be honest, these odds are pathetic. Yes she's good, yes she's a form horse, but 1.07!?! I think after my gold run with her it may be time to oppose her soon.
