Kolly looked real good today even if it was a battle with Malisse. Sam definitely looked great, he actually had 16 aces

I've got 14 on my stats? Did you watch the tourney live today?

Yeah I was watching, they had 16 recorded on the TV. either way impressive stuff.

[slikec]

Why not rather Querrey-1,5 games at -107?

i really cant understand this tennis market...it isnt real that vesnina is fav against sloane stephens..she is only good in doubles, in singles nothing special and player that can easily be defeated.

Correct me if Im wrong idk womens tennis that well but Sloane has never made a final before, she struggled mightily in her last match with young american Lauren Davis and Vesnina makes few unforced errors and the match and pressure should rely heavily on Sloane's shoulders

[TC Woods]

Maybe because they are moving to Seattle?

I hope that rumor turns out to be true, we have been without a basketball team in the NW for over 5 years.

North West?
Portland?

[Italy]

Mavs for me, they have been close to a win for a while now and due....Dirk was starting to look a bit like himself today too

even if they are b2b and it is the 4th game in 6 days?(or I'm wrong?)

hi sando,it's the first time I write here,hope you don't mind...good luck for your picks

yes its true she never played finals but on the counter she is got nothing to lose in match vs vesnina.

[needalifeline]

Bump

Ouch only one winner out of the bunch, Im looking forward to tonights pick if there will be any NBA

[tblues2005]

Anything for the NBA here tonight?

[JNic]

yes its true she never played finals but on the counter she is got nothing to lose in match vs vesnina.

She has everything to lose...

Bad day yesterday, first one in a couple of weeks, looking to bounce back today. Will update my record now.

NBA Thursday

NY @ Indiana
Pacers -5 (-108, $1.92 IAS,Sportsbet) 2x
If it's not broken then don't fix it.

Dallas @ Sacramento
Kings -2.5 (-107, $1.93 Pinnacle) 1.5x
*Full strength team with Thornton back, not sure I'm happy about Evans being back however as long as they continue to play inside out through Cousins and put the ball in Thomas hands late in the game then things should work out ok. On paper Sacramento actually has far more talent than the Mav's, their problem (as always) has been getting them to gel. Anyway the Kings have a bunch of impressive wins lately over more dangerous teams than the Mavericks. I'll take the 10-8 home Kings over the 5-16 road Mavericks who just simply aren't as good a team as their reputation suggests. Watch Demarcus abuse Kaman badly if he has his head switched on today.

NBA Totals

Miami @ Portland
Over 195 (-101, $1.99 Pinnacle) 1x

NBA card complete.

No time for write ups. Got to put in work on the tennis.

[Tim Gerry Mander]

Querrey ML is getting pounded

[sando]

Bad day in the tennis yesterday, down about 3 units, hoping to turn things around today.

Tennis

ATP Aukland

Querry v Kohlschreiber
Querry m/l (-138, $1.72 Pinnacle) 2.5x
*Watched Sam today (2nd set) against Levine. Sometimes I forget how hard this guy hits the ball, and his accuracy has improved tremedously in the last 12 months. Sam's serve was crisp and big with a lazy 14 aces to 1 DF. This guys serve is top 5 in the game but unlike many of the other big bombers on tour he has the grounstrokes to back up the serve. Great control over his f/h led to 84% 1st serve points won and 75% on the 2nd. I'd say early season rust is not a problem for the big fella. Kolly's wins nothing special, 3 sets to get past Falla and then a tight one today against has been Malisse.

Philipp Kohlschreiber has lost 4 of last 5 when Opponent is a Big Server.
Philipp Kohlschreiber has lost 4 of last 5 when priced as Underdog (+100 to +199).


Ferrer v Monfils
Over 21.5 (Evens, $2.00 Pinnacle) 1x


WTA Hobart

Stevens v Vesnina
Stevens -1.5 (Evens, $2.00 Pinnacle) 2.5x

ATP Sydney

Tomic v Seppi
Tomic -2.5 (-105, $1.95 Pinnacle) 1x

Aus Open Qualifiers

*I am actually betting the qualifiers today (unlike the other day when I was just tracking my bets to see how me early reads were - poor).

Women

Dushevina v Min
Min m/l (+132, $2.32 Pinnacle) 1x
(Starts in 15 minutes)

Chan v Falconi
Chan m/l (-200, $1.50 Bet 365) 2x
*Chan on the rise, recent defeats of Wickmayer, Heather Watson, Jankovic. On the other hand Falconi just loses (8-12 last 20, against mainly ITF level players). Big mismatch.

Woerle v Duan
Duan m/l (-181, $1.55 Pinnacle) 2x

Men

Eysseric v Ram
Eysseric m/l (+210, $3.10 Pinnacle) 0.5x

Blake v Young
Blake m/l (-200, $1.50 Pinnacle) 1x
*I cannot believe I am actually putting real money on Blake but it's the correct play here. Blake suprisingly playing well and Donald Young is, well Donald Young...

James Blake has won 8 of last 9 on Hard Court.
Donald Young has lost 4 of last 5 at Grand Slam level.
James Blake has won 4 in a row when Opponent is a Fellow Countymen.
Donald Young has lost 6 in a row when Opponent is a Fellow Countymen.

Yani v Chen
Chen m/l (+169, $2.69 Pinnacle) 0.5x
*Odds are wrong here and price is generous on Chen.
Ti Chen has won 5 of last 6 when priced as Underdog (+100 to +199).

[tblues2005]

Thanks for the picks and good luck tonight.

[shari91]

I know you know... but just in case... after this mate, maybe scale back in tennis until the first round of Melbs. Not sure if you were watching yesterday but announcers were full on speculating who would tank, etc because they weren't expecting to get this far so their training time was fukked. I was a bit shocked but they all made sense and paid off. Anyway, GL to you!

[davopnz]

I'd note that in the interview with Monfils after the match they were saying to him Ferrer has never beaten you and he was saying something a long the lines of "I dunno, well tomorrow like he is in good form and I am very tired'

[TC Woods]

North West?
Portland?

My bad... I consider Washington State to be the "Northwest"...

[sando]

Yeah you are most definitely right Shari, and thanks for any advice you share, worth it's weight in gold. I really shouldn't be playing this many matches so early in the season, rather out of character as i have been quite disciplined with the NBA and yet in the tennis seem to be "finding value" in every third match. Sticking mainly with the qualifiers today, as usual there seems to be a few lines that are a bit off.

[Sharp Snake]

Yikes. Against you in your first 3 matches. I'm on kohlschreiber, seppi, and vesnina. Best of luck anyhow.

With you in the pacers and kings though.

[itisme]

Thanks sando, really appreciate all the hard work you put into this. Been tailing most of your tennis and been good so far.

[itisme]

I see you have have O21 on Monfils. What do you think about +4.5? I made a small play on ML just as a shot. I think he isnt getting much credit because of past injury.

It's hard to just wait when there are matches going and the Aussie Open is so close eh

read my post, on top of that this is ferrers tourny.

[pellumb341]

fuking eysseric blew 4 set points

[humble]

Hey Sando
whats your opinion on Flipkens v Barthel?
is the game total worth placing a wager on? last game 7-6, 7-6.

[thorny]

Yeah have to agree with Davo, I didnt see the commentary, but just based on players...
I can see Ferrer be the only one turning up to play here. I don't think Monfils is 100% from his niggling injuries and he will most likely look to stay healthy for Aus Open...

[gambler1270]

QuErrey

Queerest getting dominated.can't do anything with the Germans serve,and having trouble holding his own.

[Dmoneytx]

I had Querrey also Sando in a small parlay. Sam is getting his AZZ kicked out there. He is gonna lose in less than one hour. What a shame, I love Querrey & I really thought he had a good shot of making a final here and beating Kohl. I pretty much hate Kohl, when I take him he seems to be freaking HORRIBLE. If I bet against him, he plays flawless. ARG!!!

Best of luck the rest of the night sir

Kohl MIGHT be 5'9". I find it crazy that Sam can't even get CLOSE on his service games!!! I have seem Kohl play live, he looks more like 5 foot freaking 6! And he is holding serve at will???? Double ARG@!

[Dmoneytx]

I turned the Querrey match off. And as I type all of this, Sam breaks back and is up 4-3. Wow, that was a shocker!!! Who knows what will happen now, huh??? Wow....

So is it still turned off?

Agree. This guy is pretty questionable To bet on (or against) Personally i think he should never be considered as a favourite. Has some shocking losses and then you see him play great and pull off some amazing shots out of fffing nowhere against opponents that are ranked well above
