Picking WTA matches based on looks...

[fearless]

You can see the pic I posted on the lower left side:

A moment of silence for Michelle Larcher de Brito. She was beaten today but she's the best looking pro athlete I've ever seen. Anyone disagree with that?

[fearless]

Serious play here:

Maria Sharapova vs. Na Li

Take Maria Sharapova. These two have met four times and Na Li has been beaten in straight sets every time. There's a chance Sharapova will be a dog because she's coming back from injury, that'll make this play even better.

Appears to be backfiring today with Azarenka over Squarez Navarro.

My current strategy is picking uglier players v. beauties in matches that are as close to pick 'ems as possible (odds wise). There were no such plays available today.

I don't watch women's tennis so I haven't seen her in action to judge her body/grace etc. but between that pic and the glamour shot in this thread, she looks to have a very pretty face and I like a pretty face.

sorry I missed a lot of matches guys. Back now to handicap Sunday morning's action.



Li


vs.




Sharapova
<- agrees

The oddsmakers have the right lady favored here, but the odds can be exploited. I like Sharapova at -111 for 7.77 units

Azarenka


vs.







Ivanovic -145, risk 5 units

Take Maria Sharapova. These two have met four times and Na Li has been beaten in straight sets every time. There's a chance Sharapova will be a dog because she's coming back from injury, that'll make this play even better.

I'm taking Na Li +1.5 sets -250. After handicapping this, I don't think Sharapova can dominate a good player right now and Na Li is rolling.

[fearless]

Yisman is definitely at the top of his game! Keep up the great work!

[yisman]

I'd rather take Sharapova straight up, but Li likely covers +1.5.

Jankovic


vs.





Oddsmakers have a truly odd taste in women. I've been pounding Cirstea and I'm not going to stop now. Get on this weak line before it moves!
Cirstea +540, risk 5 units.

[yisman]

From a limited sample size, I can only conclude that picking women based on their appearance is profitable.

This thread came up huge today once again. It nailed the Cirstea upset.

Not sure what happened to the images in the last post, though. It's supposed to have three images. The first two seem to have disappeared into thin air.

Petrova +117



vs.

Ivanovic -140



Gotta go with Petrova.

YTD 5-2 (using my current strategy of picking uglier players v. beauties in matches that are as close to pick 'ems as possible (odds wise))

My 5-2 record is fully documented in this thread in case anyone doesn't believe it. As long as I stay above .500 I plan to keep this going. May it live on forever.

[yisman]

you totally stole my Ivanovic pic!

A lot of my hot underdogs in this thread won. Cirstea spanked Jankovic for huge profits there.

Biggest screamer since Seles, and for no other purpose than to annoy her opponent. Fell in a hole after Rezai complained to the chair umpire and match referee about it. There have been discussions about the authorities cracking down on it.

She's 16 dude.... wait a few football seasons... She's cute, but there are plenty at least as good on the backcourts.

still doesn't make it correct, just means in the tags she played against Ivanovic that day.

If you can't identify Ivanovic from every other female tennis player, you lose all credibility!

Why would someone who's picking tennis matches based on looks have ANY credibility? I'm 6-2 using my current strategy and I'm looking for a play today.

Anne Keothavong -155



V.

Sybille Bammer +130



The chalk is worth is it, this is a big mismatch. I'm taking Anne Keothavong.

[fearless]

Sybille Bammer +130

The pic above isn't showing up.

Shvedova


vs.



Alberta Brianti

(it's too horrible to post here. Traumatic. Viewing it on that site was enough)


Holy smokes, I'm fairly certain that Brianti is a witch from a Disney movie. Great fade material, plus Shvedova is fine.

Shvedova -238 for the max, or for 10 units, whichever you prefer. I'm prepared to liquidate all of Lou's possessions for this play.

[Dark Horse]

In my world everything shape shifts. I see a woman and try to picture her face as a man. If I succeed, I can't look at her again. Or I try to picture a twenty year old as a sixty year old. Ugh.

Try it. You may end up jumping down a cliff.

[yisman]

I'm going to picture you as Sorana Cirstea so I don't jump off a cliff.

[Dark Horse]

You don't have my permission to picture me like that.

Jump.

[yisman]

What, no one else noticed that looks triumphed again?

[yisman]

Hottie alert!

Cirstea vs. Larcher de Brito today

[yisman]

Kirilenko-Scheepers is another good one.
