    best time to gauge how well a year is going is after a crappy day...if you're still standing handsomely, then it's been a good year...

    94 79 +12.774 +6.025% 212.00

    to be yielding solidly-more-than-5% of your risked funds after a few months and a few hundred bets is outstanding...

    Was tempted to do one or two more but when you are tempted then it's best to stay away. Besides I already had the outright pending as well so happy to leave it just that and focus on this week.
    Will get some plays on the board tommorow and see how it goes. Pretty sure I did well this time last year with those picks.
    As always aiming to do better!

    Apologies for posting really early games as well fellas, pinnacle don't have the start times (my time zone) so I rely on flash score and other bookies like william hill, but they post every game as 7pm but the game is two days later haha...

    the atp WTA app for Apple also has the start times in that country so its kinda irrelevant for everyone else who isn't in that time zone either

    will make a more conscious effort to post games that day

    better to keep posting them when you hit them as you currently do...

    we're big boyzngirlz and can see instantly on our own flashscores when they start

    if you wait until day-of to post plays that you already locked in (but didn't post in order to not confuse the dolts)...considerable price-drift may have occurred while you were waiting...and instead of confusing the dolts, you'll be angering them with what they'll call your "bogus" prices etc. etc.

    Very true, though every time I have posted odds that were readily available at the time and not something stale regardless if it was 4 hours before the game begins or 20 mins. Usually try to get plays in 5-10 at the least beforehand as I imagine people check the threads before play begins anyway.

    "look out for number 1"...then worry about the rest of us faceless beneficiaries, lol...

    meaning lock in plays for yourself FIRST, then post them as soon as reasonably possible, so tailgaters have a decent shot at getting a similar number as you (especially those with access to pinnacle)

    I'm quite sure you're already doing this as i find i most often get the exact same # you posted if i catch it less than an hour or so after your post's timestamp

    It's funny how betting goes sometimes
    Took Ivo plus two times at decent lines because he was slow off the blocks
    Didn't take him since and he's won a few matches on his worst surface
    Taking him today again after a good run and a Dimitrov who got out of jail against Vesely

    So I'd say probably not :P
    With my luck on him

    Agree there's so much value on Ivo. His knee is probably healed.

    if you're calibrating your Ivo-meter, dialing in the games-hc...you finally got a nice "click!"

    I had always thought there was going to be a tiebreak in the game much is the case of many of Ivos matches like that but sometimes you get unlucky if he serves second and gets broken once which is a difference of three games when the set is completed.
    Other times he serves well all day and doesn't look like he will be broken but he will still lose 7 straight points :P

    My ultimate goal is to get back to .600% for all plays
    But if I fall short that's ok too, hopefully will just keep working towards that

    Incoming regret later but Fognini is a class above on clay despite his dodgyness at times. Bernard hasnt looked like hes given a crap on clay so still fadeworthy at this time of month. Hopefully Fognini's ball striking against Tomics poor movement gets the job done today...
