I don't think you can cancel a pick that was made, but you can play both sides if you want to, I guess.

No, not you too.

I was hoping nobody who's tennis handicapping I respect here would fall for the 17 year old Cinderella story, but I guess being gamblers we have a tendency to look for value in places where there isn't any.

We'll see what goes down.

What cracked me up was you mentioning "failed tennis evaluators" in that column. The #1 failed tennis evaluator is staring at you from the mirror, pal.

[SBR Lou]

MartinBlank, is it possible to bet on both sides? Or it will be voided?

You cannot do this.

Edit: see below post.

[MartinBlank]

There is nothing in Lou's rules preventing me from betting both sides.

In fact, it is actually a disadvantage to me. Especially if a dog wins. For example, if Verdasco wins today....I lose no matter what.

In order to get to the 50 pick selection needed to cash out....I need to pick both sides of 4 matches.

Again, I read his rules over and over. Nothing in there says I can not bet both sides.

Am I wrong?

Martin, you're right. I actually thought it was in the rules, but wasn't. Either way, I see why you need to clear 50 picks, but in future contests we'll make sure to have that rule marked down. You're fine to go ahead and hit 50 picks as needed.

[MartinBlank]

Thanks Lou!

Sorry guys, I wasn't trying to get one over on anyone. Just trying to hit 50 picks.

[MexicanStallion]

Are you allowed changing your picks Lou? I think someone asked that earlier as well?

[SBR Lou]

Editing picks is not allowed. If a pick has not reached its listed start time, you can quote the pick and make a change or scratch it provided the listed start time has not expired, even if the match hasn't started the listed start time must be followed as rules thread indicates.

Hey boys..Im the new girl here and I love my tennis. See some of you are on Soderling..any reasons for that? Considering wagering on him and would like to see if our thinking is the same. Also, anyone think Oudin can take it tonight?

This thread is part of a contest, and most of us need to try and get some cheap points. We are not allowed to bet on Federer because he is beyond the -999 limit.

Hope that helps.

Don't take Oudin, you'll regret it.

Welcome to the forum and hope you stick around.

Solerling has played Fed close a couple of times this year so maybe he can get lucky. I don't think Oudin can win at all. Best of Luck !!!!
