Andy Murray betting is something that tennis betting fans are beginning to think about very seriously now that England’s hope for Wimbledon 2009 has got through to the semi-finals. Andy Murray Odds have been declining match by match, and whether you fancy Andy Murray to simply get to the final or win the Wimbledon tournament outright, now is probably as good a time as any to strike a bet.
Paddy Power has Andy Murray odds of 5/2 for him to win the tournament outright on centre court on Sunday 5 July, 2009, and odds of 3/10 for him to beat Andy Roddick in his semi-final match on Friday 3 July. Andy has certainly played out of his skin since the tournament began, but will he continue to do so, and will it be enough for him to defeat Roddick and then his opponent in the final?
As always, your ability to make a correct prediction here is what makes sports betting a win or lose proposition. If you think that Murray has gone as far as he can and you fancy Andy Roddick to beat him in the semi-final you can bet on that too. Paddy Power is offering odds of 12/5 about Roddick to beat Murray.
Whilst the eyes of English tennis fans might be on the Andy Murray betting, we shouldn’t forget that there is another semi-final to consider. Roger Federer is playing Tommy Haas, with Paddy Power offering odds of 1/12 and 6/1 respectively. The tennis world has been expecting Federer to reach the final since the beginning of the tournament, so there is little value at 1/12 on Federer to get there. However, if you think that Federer will take the tournament outright you can get a slightly more respectable price of 2/5.
If you aren’t the kind of person who likes extremely small odds, you could have a go at the ‘Name the Finalists’ market that Paddy Power have opened. You can get odds of 4/9 if you think the final will feature Federer and Murray, odds of 11/4 for Federer and Roddick and 6/1 for any other combination. Many people will think that 4/9 is a pretty good price for Federer and Murray, so if you are one of them you would do well to take those odds while you can.
