Master of Shanghai or Shanghai-d by the Masters ...

I have not been a fan of Anderson this year. He seems to have regressed some IMO. Still, it is a first-up situation for Isner and we all know TB2 is likely to play it to a tie break or two which always makes things interesting. I think Isner has motivation this week though with a spot in the Tour Finals still possible. You could certainly do worse for a dog pick because it's probably going to be a close one regardless of who wins.

Thanks for your insight ep

Getting owned again. Only one dog has won in two days.

beefcake · 10-09-12, 05:38 AM

Verdasco is going to play like Tabasco and come through for us..

EaglesPhan36 · 10-09-12, 05:43 AM

Hope so. Just burning cash from other sports on this crap. Books are pissing me off setting the chalk so high that the only way to parlay stuff is to take 3-5 players and I don't like doing that many because it always seems to screw me. Guess that is why I started that open parlay thread which is where those chalky picks can help - but I'm busted out at 5Dimes right now, so no go on those for a bit.

Alright, let's see if the fade TI dog picks works ... Stepanek over Hewitt.

EaglesPhan36 · 10-09-12, 07:30 AM

Fading TI consensus dogs, straight bank again.

AceKingHigh · 10-09-12, 07:32 AM

Had a nice parlay with Lu & Steph. for + money

Demonata · 10-09-12, 09:16 AM

Good job on verdasco pick.

xlilsp1keyx · 10-09-12, 09:26 AM

any other picks for the rest of the matches?

EaglesPhan36 · 10-09-12, 09:44 AM

That's all the Shanghai matches for today.

kobee24 · 10-09-12, 10:15 AM

Thanks for the Verdasco pick, had him with Marchenko, both came through, bol!!

ProbablyNotSeth · 10-09-12, 11:03 AM

I justed notice murray is quite a bit cheaper than roger & djoker?

Any reason why? His game versus the canadian wasn't that bad

beefcake · 10-09-12, 11:16 AM

hmmm.nando finally playing well.wonder if a future is in store??

Little better quality in his opponent although Mayer is as big a faucet [hot/cold] as there is. I also still think people generally undervalue Murray.

EaglesPhan36 · 10-09-12, 04:39 PM

So for the week, a shite 2-4 record - but only down 1.00 unit because of the hit on Verdasco today and the reduced stakes placed on Falla. Meh. Time to make a move tonight.

beefcake · 10-09-12, 05:06 PM

Dogs are going to bark tonight...BOOK IT!!!

EaglesPhan36 · 10-09-12, 05:15 PM

Simon would be a heavy anti-TI dog consensus play. Dolgpolov tipped 13-4 over there right now. Querrey is 12-4 in tips, but that one is like a pick 'em so not sure a jinx would be in effect.

therealdealau · 10-09-12, 07:33 PM

Just checked in to say thank you, wanted some late night action after work saw your Verdasco bet and locked it in, also locked him in to win in straight sets, I cashed nicely. Keen to jump on board for some more plays, keep at it.

EaglesPhan36 · 10-09-12, 10:15 PM

Nishikori wont make it far this tourney. He had his swan song last night and due for a major letdown. I would fade him in his 2nd or 3rd match. Berdych will kill him this next time round if they met.

And there you go, Nishi chokes away his match against Querrey after a big 4-1 lead in final set. Knew he was due for a major letdown.

kobee24 · 10-10-12, 05:53 AM

Wtf was that last point for Stepanek in the first set?? I can't believe Gasquet lost it in such fashion. Hope he can turn this around..

Yeah I was going to play Querrey and had it marked, but decided to just stay away altogether. Nice call.

EaglesPhan36 · 10-10-12, 06:27 AM

Trying a total.

Tipsarevic-Troicki Over 21 [-115]

EaglesPhan36 · 10-10-12, 06:37 AM

If my baseball average of 1 out of every 3 hitting this week continues, the total should hit.

Really wish I would have had the balls to pull the trigger on a couple of plays I really liked, but shyed away from. Feck.

kobee24 · 10-10-12, 06:50 AM

If Stepanek continues to play like this, he might go far, an incredible display at this age. Disappointment from Gasquet..

EaglesPhan36 · 10-10-12, 06:52 AM

I pretty much suck ass. Need to get back to the gut checks instead of over analyzing.

EaglesPhan36 · 10-10-12, 08:32 AM

Worked at least a push for this total as it goes to a 2nd set TB. Likely to end a push as I expect Mr.T to win it. Troicki had multiple break points in the past two Mr.T service games an blew em.

beefcake · 10-10-12, 12:38 PM

Baggy going to smoke Tsonga..

Nah, Tsonga is playing well right now. He'll want another shot at Djoker. Baggy might not win a set.

EaglesPhan36 · 10-10-12, 10:32 PM

Thursday, Oct.11th
Cilic -130
Tipsarevic-Haas Tie Break [YES] +155
Tsonga-Baghdatis Tie Break [YES] +185

Trying some experimental stuff with these TB plays. Looking to split them and make a profit. By the way, a lot of these options are being offered @ Bovada this week. Pretty impressed with the options they have broken out for this tournament. Too bad they don't have them the majority of the season.

Allen24 · 10-10-12, 11:37 PM

do u like tsonga to win to throw in my parlay with isner and cilic?

EaglesPhan36 · 10-10-12, 11:48 PM

I think I would just stick with the two. Pretty good payout still if it hits and you dont't have to sweat a 3rd match. Most of them look like they could be fairly close and there might be a shocker ... But it could also just be a day when chalk prevails in the end.

Allen24 · 10-10-12, 11:50 PM

yea it does look like a chalky day with tsonga and berdych

AceKingHigh · 10-11-12, 12:11 AM

Hopefully Tsonga & Baggy going for TB's ! ** and Baggy coming with the W hahaha ** that's my daily wish! lol

EaglesPhan36 · 10-11-12, 07:04 AM

Yeah got the TB in that Tsonga match in the 2nd set. For me, I thought those odds were pretty juicy considering how lazy Tsonga plays so many of his sets. So at least gonna split those two props at worst to profit.
