Very nice run mate

kobee24 · 10-17-12, 06:52 AM

It's great to see people killing it bro, so I don't think you have to be very modest about this. I see guys who know nothing saying they're the god so you definitely deserve it. The amount you're talking about is nothing to be underestimated. The key is to be consistent of course. BOL with your plays..

BRUTUSB33FCAKE · 10-17-12, 08:16 AM

And cash Berankis for plus money! YTD 20-8

Now since we did well this morning, I'm comfortable going 15 units on Copil +4 and will sprinkle a little on him to win outright at +285. He's a live dog playing a tired worn down opponent.

cashed karlovic with u, missed out on the last one u posted. great job bud. hope u got some more for us today

BRUTUSB33FCAKE · 10-17-12, 09:16 AM

I posted Melzer early, you can still get on that one if you want it hasn't started yet. I'm debating a Nieminen-Hewitt play. Still undecided there.

Nice run man keep it up

tmgissy · 10-17-12, 09:51 AM

Doing good Brut, wish I knew more about tennis.

tmgissy · 10-17-12, 09:53 AM

or at least know how to read the dang scoreboard so I know if I should get excited or not during the Copil match I am tailing you on.

Yeah we're good on Copil for the spread as long as he loses this tiebreak.

BRUTUSB33FCAKE · 10-17-12, 10:03 AM

Cash the +4. Copil gave Almagro all he could handle as I thought he would. 1 break was the difference in the 1st and then a tiebreak in the 2nd.

YTD 21-8 Would love to go undefeated today. Melzer is pending and still thinking about Nieminen-Hewitt.

tmgissy · 10-17-12, 10:04 AM

sweet!

PuckIt · 10-17-12, 10:06 AM

Copil +4 winner!

gators0708 · 10-17-12, 10:09 AM

Good job again, keep it up!

tmgissy · 10-17-12, 10:15 AM

well when you think about neiminen-hewitt, let us know

PuckIt · 10-17-12, 10:19 AM

Melzer getting beat up on

He's controlling the 2nd set, no worries. Let's see what happens in the 3rd.

BRUTUSB33FCAKE · 10-17-12, 11:06 AM

Ok with Melzer pending, will press my luck with 1 more play today. I was really tempted to pull the trigger on Nieminen to win straight up and I think he probably will. Problem is I was really impressed by old man Lleyton Hewitt yesterday. He really handled Kevin Anderson's big serve quite well and was moving around the best I've seen him in a while. Jarko has more invested in winning this because he considers Stockholm his home tournament. With all that said, I think the safer play is over 23. This has a 3 setter written all over it.

10 unit play on the over 23.

CaDDyy · 10-17-12, 11:38 AM

got it at 23.5

I noticed it closed at 23.5. I still got it at the 23 on 5D. In either case, as long as this thing goes 3 we should be pretty safe.

tmgissy · 10-17-12, 11:55 AM

Good luck guys, hope you cash, already got my roll over money in tonights baseball games.

PuckIt · 10-17-12, 12:00 PM

fuuuuuuuuuuukk that was brutal

BRUTUSB33FCAKE · 10-17-12, 12:02 PM

Always really hard to lose on a 3rd set tiebreak. YTD 21-9

CaDDyy · 10-17-12, 12:23 PM

are we rooting for hewitt here to take the 1st set? I'm pretty clueless on tennis but know he was the dog

Doesn't really matter. Root for a tiebreak and then whoever loses the 1st set needs to win the 2nd set.

CaDDyy · 10-17-12, 12:35 PM

good start for us

BRUTUSB33FCAKE · 10-17-12, 01:01 PM

As long as Jarko holds this set, guaranteed winner no matter what happens in the 3rd.

Trigger7672 · 10-17-12, 01:16 PM

Winner!

BRUTUSB33FCAKE · 10-17-12, 01:17 PM

Cash the over. Hell of a day 4-1, should have been 5-0 and the Melzer loss is still really bothering me. Be back tomorrow.

YTD 22-9

tmgissy · 10-17-12, 01:59 PM

Great day Brut, looking forward to your insight on tomorrows matches!

And of course I went big on melzer and missed your last total, just about breaking even! Looking forward to tomorrow!

PuckIt · 10-17-12, 03:05 PM

Don't suppose you have any insight on the late matches?

I put a little bit on Devvarman Somedey at +5 1/2. I don't like it enough to make it an official play or anything but if you're looking for a little action it's probably a decent choice. Gulbis is just so unpredictable. You'll be able to tell by 4 games in if he even cares.

PuckIt · 10-17-12, 03:58 PM

Devarrman up 2-1 in the first 3 games...looking good! I played Devarrman +5 at +$$$ and Devarrman ML at +500. Also took the O19.5. None of them for much, just looking for some action.

Hell you might even hit the moneyline! Gulbis doesn't care out there at all.
