Open Parlay Missions

[Snowball]

How's XIX looking? Halep retired so that helped. You still alive in the rest?

mostly wins.. but it lost, Duque-Marino for one, and Halep is a loss based on 5d system 1 set complete.
Rhode Island little league I felt strongly about at +215, but chickened out of putting it in the big one
because it is little league.
Anyway, Mexico up 2-0 here so not a bad day.

Oh thats right it counts as a loss dang. whats your plans for the III parlay? i would just throw some huge favs in there.

V-ball (which should be called low-Variance-ball) strikes again...modest chalk buys you a whole lot of "day at the office" execution...last 5 V-ball bets at avg price of well-less than -250 i reckon have taken just one extra-set than the minimum required...all straight 3-setters except one that went 4...

keep the V-ball plays comin' SNO...an amazing thing happens when you keep the officiating to a minimum...the "weird shit" index drops heavily, greatly increasing the value of the chalky side of the ticket

Mission 17 actually has 13 slots, not 10. When I started it with 3 plays, it
had 10 spots remaining, not 10 total.
Today I'm giving the WTA doubles ex-pair Errani/Vinci a chance to win with their
new partners. Sara and Roberta parted ways after so much success, one of the best
pairs in WTA history. Looking at their respective records with new partners, there are
signs of improvement for both teams. Pennetta/Errani should have no problem becoming
a top doubles pair, Vinci/Knapp will probably depend more on Knapp, who isn't as established
in doubles, but does have a lot of power. It would be nice to see them both advance here in
Cincy and perhaps play vs. each other. Also interestingly, the Hingis/Pennetta pair have parted
ways and Hingis is with Mirza.

spent an hour+ evaluating the card today, mostly tennis, because hardly
anything else is being played, and can't arrive at entering any plays today
into these. will be sitting back and perhaps pumping in some live action on
another account.
also, Cincy weather might have a light shower today and is expected to have
rain in the forecast tomorrow. The $6.50 in these missions has gathered
momentum to $240.52 with a combined 18 legs to go.

Ladies man: any reason not to fade Bouchard today?

[Jeffie]

Ladies man: any reason not to fade Bouchard today?

I was looking at that as well I don't think Bouchard wins today. But haven't pulled the trigger yet.

[Snowball]

Genie won 2 tiebreakers yesterday which means she is tough mentally now.
but Svitolina is a beast, no play.

[JohnnyRudeboy]

ToughER, maybe. I wouldn't quite go so far as to call her tough though. But yeah, not a wonderful play either way.

Zim covered. Madsen 2 strokes better than Pieters after Rd 1.
$6.50 wagered around $400 if Madsen beats Pieters.
Probably going to want to reel these in. No need to push the
envelope when I can start new missions with such an increased
war chest. I have big plans.

[Jeffie]

Great work so far SB keep it going pal! Hope everything goes well for ya.

[gregmav1]

This is super entertaining. Good luck. I wonder if this is really smart or really stupid. Probably pretty stupid but extremely entertaining and fun.

Winston-Salem had issues with rain last night, and this match isn't even being played
until tomorrow now. Klizan and Rosol (the opponents) both moved on in singles, and
are playing again today. Butorac/Lipsky are both American doubles specialists, however
a part of the reason that I slotted them in Mission XVII involved the fact that Klizan
and Rosol were playing singles on the same day - then they both won, which is great,
because if they move on in singles then they would perhaps not care as much about this doubles match.
Thusly, I would prefer to see them both win today in singles. Klizan has a good chance to advance past Vesely, and Rosol is facing Janowicz, in a rematch of last year's final here. If they both win today, I will not be hedging. If one wins, I am undecided, but if both lose I will have to hedge. No more posts until tomorrow morning here, although I am looking for a day play aside from the open parlay missions. It is the tennis policy of 5D never to cancel a wager for any type of delay, no matter how many days.

[dalogester]

Both lost. Still gonna hedge? Rosol and klizan looked like crap imo

[Snowball]

Both lost. Still gonna hedge? Rosol and klizan looked like crap imo

I didn't watch their matches so thanks for that input.
I'm going to sleep on it. Although I planned to hedge if they both lost,
if they looked like crap and are just not that into this tournament then
they are likely looking ahead to next week. The doubles side is stacked
in Winston-Salem. Butorac/Lipsky are also both Americans. I stand by the play
but it is frustrating that it won't occur until 2 days later than expected and with
neither Rosol nor Klizan being forced to play twice in a day.
I have won both my other side bets today, Cibulkova and Garcia. If I hedge it
would only be a partial, not a full, because with the card getting much larger soon
I can close out the other mission without much sweat.

[dalogester]

Well guess that's a mute point since rosol and klizan dropped out of doubles. Still taking the American doubles squad? They play Pablo andujar nd Marcelo demoliner. Have these two even played a doubels match together? Lines -275. Not great, but might be good for your parlay.. Don't wanna jinx you though. Gl in whatever you choose.

I might or I can post them here if you don't mind...not sure I've hit one that big but still remember years back, my buddy hit one that he bet $1 on and won around $2500 with some nice dogs(one of them was Texas ml over USC in the national championship game).

I'd like to keep this thread exclusively for my open parlays. It's tough enough to follow as is.
I don't even post any of my side plays here.
btw, I took a few minutes to look back in my history..
i see some that i missed by 1 play that were in the over 5000-1 camp. I have some hits in the 400-600/1
area. Here's a link to the biggest one I actually hit. I filled it up with junk at the end just to close it out,
if I didn't need that $ at the time or if I wagered more originally, it could have gone ballistic.
