Cappinpicks · 10-19-12, 09:17 AM

Stosur will prob lose outright like hradecka, both have been garbage

BRUTUSB33FCAKE · 10-19-12, 09:41 AM

Easiest hit in a while on the Almagro -3. Absolutely smoked the old man.

YTD 26-12-1

PuckIt · 10-19-12, 09:43 AM

BRUTUSB33FCAKE · 10-19-12, 10:02 AM

Last play of the day. Had a change of heart will be playing Jerzy Janowicz at +100. I'll sacrafice the experience factor for the surface skill. 15 units!

PuckIt · 10-19-12, 10:03 AM

Zakopalova isn't putting forth 100% at all

PuckIt · 10-19-12, 10:04 AM

she's not even trying to win

Yeah usually Stosur is the headcase. Massive serve but she implodes when pushed. Unfortunately not getting pushed today.

PuckIt · 10-19-12, 10:14 AM

yeah, I haven't seen Zakopalova take more than 3 steps side to side, she's just hitting it back in the middle of the court and letting Stosur crush it to the opposite line.

Dmoneytx · 10-19-12, 10:17 AM

Good luck today Beef!! Always pulling for ya. I don't know how u play those ladies so much. That's gambling at its finest

Hope u do well sir.

PuckIt · 10-19-12, 10:19 AM

Zakopalova getting in Stosur's head...might be too late tho

diogone · 10-19-12, 10:22 AM

dont let that break go girl!!!!!

kobee24 · 10-19-12, 10:30 AM

Took +4 for Zako also, parlayed with Almagro, let's see if she can keep this up. Good luck with your plays my man, keep it comin!

PuckIt · 10-19-12, 10:31 AM

damn she's letting her back in

BRUTUSB33FCAKE · 10-19-12, 10:49 AM

Disappointing loss. Only one brief Stosur mental lapse today.

YTD 26-13-1 Let's get it back with Jerzy!

PuckIt · 10-19-12, 10:56 AM

Any thoughts on Tsonga -4?

PuckIt · 10-19-12, 01:05 PM

Damn Jerzy

BRUTUSB33FCAKE · 10-19-12, 01:30 PM

Really disgusted with myself. I originally picked Bellucci and over thought it and over thought it and over thought it. I guess it's like a test in school, they say to never change your original answer.

Talk some sense into me next time. Please and thank you lol.

BRUTUSB33FCAKE · 10-19-12, 04:07 PM

I'm putting my play in extra early for tomorrow morning because I expect the line to jump. I'm riding with the big man again Ivo Karlovic at -125. I should have played Bellucci today but I talked myself out of it. There is no talking me out of Karlovic tomorrow. Bellucci doesn't have the game on this surface to hang with Karlovic's serve. As always, expect a tiebreak or two but Karlovic will take this thing. This will be my biggest play in quite a while, gonna be 40 units!

Also I don't mess with any of the qualifying rounds in these 250 level tournaments so no Basel or Valencia plays until Round 1 begins.

PuckIt · 10-19-12, 09:13 PM

Karlovic down to -140!

You should play it now. I bet it will be -150 by morning. I expect a lot of people will be on Karlovic which isn't always a good thing but I can't justify not playing him.

diogone · 10-20-12, 07:04 AM

im on belluci guys! jano has a big serve too, and it was a good test on brasileirinho! taking my chances on him! BOL

PuckIt · 10-20-12, 01:04 PM

this is too close for comfort!

This is how every Karlovic match has been that I have ever watched. 1 or 2 tiebreaks and only 1 or 2 break points the entire game. Not worried yet.

UpsetSpecial09 · 10-20-12, 01:09 PM

I agree. Glad he took the first set but wish he had gotten that break point just now. I think he will get a few more break chances in this set, just gotta take them!

PuckIt · 10-20-12, 01:44 PM

brutal

BRUTUSB33FCAKE · 10-20-12, 01:45 PM

The big guy ran out of gas at the end.

YTD 26-15-1

PuckIt · 10-20-12, 09:41 PM

any plays tomorrow morning?

Demonata · 10-21-12, 12:45 AM

You just lost 40 units? Wow sorry to hear that man.

BRUTUSB33FCAKE · 10-21-12, 11:04 PM

Lukasz Kubot -125 He has looked reasonbly good since coming back from a 6 month hiatus. Lukas Lacko on the other hand his only recent success has been on the Challenger circuit. He's lost 7 of 8 at the ATP level. I'll take Kubot here coming off a nice qualifying win against Bjorn Phau in this tournament.

BRUTUSB33FCAKE · 10-22-12, 08:38 AM

Cash.

YTD 27-15-1

kobee24 · 10-22-12, 09:32 AM

Thx bro, took Kubot also after saw you were on him. Parlayed with Benneteau -3.5 which miraculously came at the last game. BOL with your future plays!
