pico: espn streak for cash picks thread.

[MexicanStallion]

Streak +5. Actually went with LSU. In the end didn't matter.

No idea what to play tomorrow.

[yisman]

Even with a streak of 4, I don't think I can resist Murray. 62.5% on Roddick. I guess because he's a celebrity and he's American. I planned on taking Murray anyway, but Pinnacle finally put the odds up (they just had ML when I checked last night):

Murray -9 (-104), o 27.5 (-128)
Roddick -6 (-106), o 35.5 (-121)

FYI, if you have a short streak, you might want to pick the Rochus one instead. Not sure if that'll end sooner, but the Roddick/Murray prop is going to take a while

  Gotta go with Murray here. He is 5-0 this year on grass and disposed of each of his opponents in straight sets.

  Roddick just guaranteed the lock. Now tough choice.

  PLANNERMAN27, g'mornin!
  I am fairly sure it was at an event in Rhode Island. But really people can take out of that what they will. Personally I just feel it shows exceptional results can happen at any time.
  Nothing is being made of Roddick retiring last week at Queen's Club, so I'm going to assume his ankle is just fine as well.

I wish I would have jumped on your tennis play Yisman. It's early, but it looks like a nice play early. I will probably go with the San Antontio Silver Stars WNBA, later.

[yisman]

yeah, 9 games won by Chardy so far.

Looks good. If Murray wins in straight sets, there's a very high probability of my pick being a winner.

[yisman]

Make it 12 games and he may force a fourth set.

[yisman]

Chardy has 15 now. He forced a third set.

Some odd comments on SftC:

Robert Kendrick is a young American player who will have my support to the fullest today unlike you Scottland tail smoochers who cheer Murray. Traitors.

All of you are the biggest fakers, draft dodgers, drug addicts, alcholics, pill poppers, who know absolutely nothing about dedication and pride. Show some dignity in yourself if not for your country and I am not afraid of no kkk clown wrapped up in a sheet. I find it very offense that a remark like that would be targeted towards me because I am American and go for Roddick, Venus, Serena, and Fish.

I just defend our American players since I am American. I don't bow down and kiss the tail of foriegners like yous peoples.

[yisman]

Murray seems determined to break my streak.

Roddick dropped 15 games to Kendrick, but Murray has countered by losing 11.

Unless he wins in straight sets, my streak is likely toast.

[yisman]

and there it is. Kendrick wins the second set tiebreaker, and he's up to 12.

Murray would have to win two sets without losing four games. Very unlikely.

[yisman]

whoops, I got mixed up. Roddick actually dropped 18, not 15.

Murray has lost 15. He's up 2-1, headed into the fourth. If Kendrick wins two games or less, it's a Murray win. Three games is a push. Four games and it's a Roddick win.

Either way, this is a guy that was -10000 chalk at Bodog and he's dropped 15. 7-5 6-7 6-3

[SamsNCharge99]

damn Rochus cost me another 4 gm winning streak, I guess I'll go w/ over in soccer and then Lincecum K's

[yisman]

What a nailbiter.

Murray up 4-2 in the fourth.

edit: 5-3 now. Push is the best I can do.

[losturmarbles]

murray is a loser yis, i just blindly took him this morning also, so i'm at -1

sam, who's the jailbait in your avy? are you allowed to post now? lol i guess this is a contest thread sorta.

lol i just checked your thread, welcome back

[pico]

streak 1

lincecum strikeouts

[yisman]

I still can't believe Murray didn't win that prop. It was a good pick, but Murray didn't bring his good stuff.

Easiest tennis prop on SftC I've ever seen, IIRC.

Anyway, I took WNBA because it's assured of ending before the late games, as opposed to baseball. I took the home team, but it's not looking good.

Last 2:42 of game: San Antonio 8, Phoenix 0

The WNBA game was the only 95+% game of the day.

95.7% on Phoenix. So it works again

[MexicanStallion]

Streak 6

Going with Seattle. I hate how everybody is on the play though. I liked the WNBA game a lot. I bet that big myself. When I made that play earlier, I was 0.5% taking San Antonio ha.

[losturmarbles]

nice play on the wnba

i went ahead and took seattle, dont really like the pick but whatever.

yis give me a pick for tomorrow's tennis

[MexicanStallion]

Stupid me. I knew Seattle was a bad play, but I liked it before looking through ESPN games. Back to nothing for tomorrow games.

streak 2

sam querry more aces

sorry, wasn't on.

tennis options not good today. I took 19 games or more, but that was a toss-up.

I want to take US soccer after that.

If I had to pick the aces one, I'd take Querrey. He has a better serve.

It won't finish by soccer.

If Serena wins in straight sets, I'll have the option of taking Querrey or USA, it looks like.

[SamsNCharge99]

I got Serena, looking good early.

Going w/ Spain next......as much as I want USA to win, I don't see them keeping it close

It's a shame the Cilic-Querrey match went five sets.

Both of my picks won easily. I wonder what the line was on USA -1.5...

[MexicanStallion]

I had Querrey with Aces.

Streak 1

Any plays you guys like? I have no leans yet

[losturmarbles]

7pm games, i think nyy/atl could go either way, i like the phillies ff, and mets.

i'm taking the mets.

colorado to win

[yisman]

Lost an eight gamer on beat the streak due to missing my pick by seconds.

every time this happens, I pick the next few days, but I can't keep it up.

#&%$^# early deadlines

[shhhhh22]

I had The white sox to win today... I'm really a fan of the fade 90% of public play. it seems to hit an awful lot in this espn game... so in that vein... play tomorrow Paul Goydos.

[yisman]

The Mariners just fell short of the 95% threshold and won.

I hear Sam Querrey referenced streak for the cash after his tough loss on Wednesday. He said his streak was at four after he won with the aces.
