Sporting Index Set for ATP Season Finale
Andy Murray Hoping to End Year on a High in Front of Home Support, Roger Federer Favourite for O2 Success
(firmenpresse) - LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwire) -- 11/19/11 -- The , involving the top eight players in the men's rankings, promises to ensure the tennis traders are kept busy for the next seven days.
The leading firm are expecting a flurry of bets as Andy Murray (19-22 on the outright index, where 50pts are awarded to the winner, 25pts to the runner up and 10pts to the losing semi-finalists) looks to sign off the 2011 tennis year in style in front of British fans at London's O2 Arena. Spread buyers of Roger Federer's outright index at 26 will instead be hoping the Swiss maestro can successfully defend his 2010 title.
Punters, as ever, can challenge Sporting Index's outright predictions, by buying (betting higher) or selling (betting lower) indices attached to each player according to how far they are expected to progress in the tournament.
Murray was the third player to qualify and will be making his fourth appearance at the end-of-season invitational. After a recent run of three consecutive tournament victories, in the Thailand Open, the Japan Open and the Shanghai Masters, Andy Murray is ahead of World Number One Novak Djokovic to win Group A, with a spread of 14.75-16.25 (25pts for the winner, 10pts for runner-up, 5pts for third).
The Serbian has won three of the four Grand Slam events this season and has only tasted defeat on four occasions in 2011, yet certain spread punters may be keen to sell his outright index at 16 after he was knocked out in the semi-finals of the Swiss Open by wildcard Kei Nishikori.
In addition to the outright tournament markets available to , a great deal of markets, both pre-event and in-play, will be made available on every match during the tournament. Punters will be able to bet on the number of games in a match, the game supremacy (how many games one player will beat another by) and the match supremacy, where points are awarded for winning the match plus bonus points per set won by.
"Since the ATP World Tour Finals moved to London, the tournament has gone from strength to strength and is one of the most popular events of the tennis calendar," comments Sporting Index spokesman Wayne Lincoln. "Andy Murray has had an impressive year and he can expect plenty of support inside a packed O2 arena."
