Phoenix suns +10.5 v LA Lakers

Sorry fellas I know some of you can't make this type of play but prefer this one over okc. Bol

[ugabooga]

how many days did it take to get 1k?

14 days in the end but I stumbled a couple of times late or could've been maybe 10?

I don't mind okc fellas their home record speaks for itself although if Westbrook is out Denver may be able use their guards to good effect.

[ugabooga]

great stuff mate there are no set rules so it really is whatever works best for you.

Haven't checked in in a few days, but congrats on hitting 1k.

I'm on attempt #3 myself. In attempt 1 I banked my original investment mid attempt so that I was playing with house money. Eventually lost and lost attempt #2 on my first play. In the middle of attempt #3 I banked what I lost in attempt #2, so I'm back to "even". Will likely bank attempt #3 investment after my next play and then continue playing with house money.

I haven't exactly stuck to the guidelines of -400 or so, but as long as my picks are winning, I don't really care. I've actually been playing more -500 to -800 plays. Really small winnings but they add up.

You can't be to cautious, but there is an old saying that" little bits often adds up". Think I read that in some financial managment book somewhere.

Would u go with seppi and neiminen?

[Onetime75]

It's become very clear why you've been banking early...I've had too many close calls with what I thought were conservative picks. I'm banking the small profit, just over $350, and starting again. Or maybe just one more hell I don't know. What I do know is going 5 straight without a loss was a lot more difficult than I originally thought it would be.

[MatI]

Uga, any thoughts on Halep @ -550 vs Rus. I have a parlay I want to take but would like a bit more value in it and I was thinking adding this play.

It seems Halep is playing really well at the moment, only dropping 2 games total in Dubai so far. While Rus had something like 22 double faults in her previous match and had to go to 3 sets against an unranked 17yo.

I was hoping for your opinion as im never too confident on Tennis.

[sintax]

hey uga, just want to say thanks for this thread..you're making a lot of people a lot of money! keep up the good work, plan to tail your next few. i only wish i was awake for some of your picks!

[TripleDDD]

Hey Uga can you give me any insight on Kirilenko vs Niculescu. Any input would be appreciated.

[kj8210]

Your next picks?

Would u go with seppi and neiminen?

On first glance I don't feel especially safe with either but would probably prefer Niemenen if I had to choose.

Haha yeah man I know how you feel. I ran 19 straight without a hit (albeit a couple of close calls) and just looking at my last few attempts im barely getting past 4

Sorry mate could only get online now but looks like you were spot on. 6:2, 6:2 is as good as it gets

Sorry mate could only get online now, looks Kirilnko had a feel day

Uga what time do you usually place bets so I can try tailing? in eastern time please

I post at all times on the weekend but generally after 7 pm Australian time all the way through til 12 midnight. On the weekend on the other hand, i sleep in 4 hour bursts so i can make and watch my plays haha


Coming off a 13 hour day at work, i can barely think straight so gonna have a quick look and see what I come up with

[That Guy]

Cheers for the picks Uga
Good to see a fellow Aussie on here killing it!

ATTEMPT 7 - BET 3
Bernard Tomic to def Ivan Dodig
$151.56 to win $53.05

Rank:
Tomic 37
Dodig 58

Strange that I would feel this is the safest play of the night looking at their current rankings but Tomic is on the move up, very much a top 10 player and every chance to go deep in this tournament.

Dodig is a decent player no doubt but not in great form. This year he is 3-6 and has been pushed in all 3 wins against players ranked 91, 106 and 332, going to 3 sets twice and tie breaks in the other so he could easily be 1-8 or 2-7. He has also lost to Soeda twice (ranked 82), Gil (88) and Nishikori, Baghdatis and Kubot.

Tomic on the other hand is on the way up. Is 6-2 this year on hardcourt and has beaten Berdych (7), Fish (8), Monfils (14), Dolgopolov (18), Verdasco (25), Benneteau (29) and lost to Federer(3) and Murray (4).

Tomic can mix it with the best of them whereas Dodig is just getting by. Quite a bit of value in this one imo and slightly above what i'd normally play but if this gets up we start making good progress in 2 to 3 plays.

Go Tomic!

Lets hug it out bish

Whens the movie coming out, been ages?!?

[MatI]

No worries buddy. She won comfortably and I took it not long after I posted as the odds kept dropping more.

I was eyeing up Tomic too, I think you convinced me.

Nice mate, let's get it

Bet 4 will more than likely be Golden State +10.5 v Clippers. This year at home they've only lost one game by over DD to OKC (2 last year to Philly and LAC) and Clippers have only won 3 by DD on the road, once against GSW late last year and the Wizards and Charlotte being the other 2, arguably the 2 worst teams in the comp.

As long as Montay plays, i'm more than likely in...or am I being stupid and betting on a shit team (again)?

[MatI]

Personally that game is a no play for me, but you are spot on with Clippers not winning by DD on the road all that much and when they do its against bottom of the league teams. No way I would take the clippers, but I don't trust GSW at all either.

[DeFab146]

I don't follow tennis at all, but rolling with you on the Tomic play! You have been money in tennis recently. LEGGO!!!

[sintax]

hey uga, what are your thoughts on parlaying such a bet like Tomic with a very safe bet (like something -700) to get some extra cash? Such a situation today would net you an extra $30. what are your thoughts on that? thanks man like the picks today, i even like GSW to SU win

[Onetime75]

Ok, Uga tailing you in tennis today...gonna ride the hot hand. Let's go get number 6!

[keel44]

Check out this play if you want early noon action:

Ottawa +1.5 @ -320

Ottawa is playing great as of late, and they have a better overall record (30-22-8) compared to the Islanders (25-25-8). Ottawa on the road (15-11-5). Islanders at home (13-13-5)

The last time the Islanders beat a team by more than 1 at home was on January 14th. I believe they have the wrong team being the favorite. Grab the Ottawa Senators +1.5.

[tdforte22]

he doesnt play hockey

[H1Cypher]

Are you his man servant? Fetch boy!
Not a fan of some of these brown nosers they have a way of disappearing when you are in a rough patch.

Also not a fan of people that drop in other peoples threads and give losing plays(cause I notice this happens alot. There were 3 hockey plays I wanted to suggest for Uga(and all 3 hit), but didn't because of what i just said in my first sentence.

Keel had a great suggestion for the system(Ottawa +1.5) was a great suggestion. I had Ottawa to win straight up and to score more than 2.5 goal for -105 and -125, not appropriate odds for what Uga is doing on the thread but the +1.5 was.

[DeFab146]

Tough first set! Hopefully the second set is not that close!

[Sport_Fish]

Tomic might be in danger of choking this one here ! Hopefully this kid pulls through

[DeFab146]

No kidding! The second set is not looking good early! Come on TOMIC!!!

Good call on the sens

[ugabooga]

Just woke up and never a great sign when the game is still going gahhh. I then see he's up an early break, nice. I then see him lose that break, facepalm. Any watching? Thoughts on the game?

Following on my computer at work and I hoping for the best, but I dont have a good feeling!

[ugabooga]

Not on pay tv for some reason after all I've had is tennis for the last 2 weeks. Come on Bernie, finish him!

[ugabooga]

Phew that was close

[DeFab146]

Heck of a comeback in the 8th! I have good feeling now! I hope Bernie finds his rhythm and gets a break!!!

[Sport_Fish]

wow whats up with this douche kid...at 5-5 with like 92 break points and couldnt capitalize on any. Going to tie-break at best, which is gonna suck. Need a miracle here !
