Murray Spreads His Reach For US Open Glory

In just a little over a month’s time the final of the Mens Tennis Majors gets underway at Flushing Meadows, New York. Yes, the 2010 US Open betting is the final chance for Andy Murray to claim a Grand Slam (well, for this year, anyway). Looking back at Murray’s Wimbledon semi-final exit you tend to feel that the big Scotsman is just unlucky to be playing tennis at a time when there are others whom are just a step-above anything Murray can bring to a game.

Signs that Roger Federer is beginning his slide down from that grateful height he has risen to in those seven outstanding years where he dominated the game are evident. Murray could have won Wimbledon except he had to beat Nadal. And although Murray gave it his best, it just was never good enough to overcome the classy Spaniard.

Now, it’s hard court time at the US Open, a game much more suited to Murray’s style.

One of the more exciting sports spread betting campaigns is the Mens Tennis Major Performances scorecard from Sporting Index.

Points are awarded on the following basis:

Winner of a Grand Slam = 50 points
Runner up of a Grand Slam = 25 points
Semi-final of slam = 10 points.

The Spread for Murray to win a Grand Slam is 48-51. With Murray currently sitting at 35 (for 3 slams) there is a great chance he could make the final of the US Open (granted that Nadal is not in his part of the draw). If Murray does reach the final then he will at least accumulate a minimum of 60 points. That’s 9 more than the buying figure of 51 meaning if you bet £10 you would receive £90. However, if Murray only reached the semi-final of the US Open that would give his index as 45 points. 6 points under the margin at which you bought – 51, meaning you would lose £60 from your £10 stake.

Bigger risks, yes, but bigger pay-out’s without a doubt and much more exciting than fixed odds betting.
