Could there be an upset on the cards in the UK Open today?

The UK Open lack of seedings means that the top players are not protected this year to the later rounds. With that in mind it's food for thought whether to take on all the faves today.

I mean the guy is made of steel. There were at least two or three right handers from Groves that would have KO'd lesser mortals. Then came the mom

But you should always examine where you are going wrong in this betting game, because even when you're going right, you can be doing things wrong! Like anything that is addictive and sets the pulse racing, sports betting is no different in that emotions must be kept in check. Careful analysis of risk must be given attention and that element of moderation is very important. In my experience, over-betting is a common problem amongst gamblers, from both novices and experts alike. Does this scenario sound familiar? You've had a good run, you've found value in a number of bets, played the patience game, and think you've cracked it. It's at this point that you are at your most vulnerable. On the back of this you may increase stakes, bet on more matches/events and a
