Why oh why did I add Hewitt after the original picks? And how the fukk did he lose to Seppi? Seppi is garbage. Hewitt at home in front of his own fans too.

Del Potro?

Yeep-yeep!

[MUHerd37]

Yeep-yeep!

That was skill I guess you could say. I just don't trust him much. Especially in the heat. Just being selective.

[stepanekslips]

Have you ever been tempted to just break that $20 up into $1 bets?

[Hardcoar]

Good one!

Question about open parlays, if you leave 19 spots out of 20 open, can you bet the same person day after day over and over? I know you can't fill them with every spot from the same day, but heck I know nothing of tennis.

[MUHerd37]

Have you ever been tempted to just break that $20 up into $1 bets?

No. That wouldn't make much per bet. I would rather just go all in and either win or be done with the thread.

Yeah you can do that.

[tsimmns]

Nice, I may open up a parlay and just bet straight favorites in every match over and over especially during the opening rounds when they are playing the scrubs. Murray and Fedderer should be money in opening rounds of every tourney.

[tsimmns]

Like the Open here you have

1. 1/18/2014 4:30 AM ATP Tennis 101 Rafael Nadal* -975 vs Gael Monfils
2. 1/17/2014 7:00 PM ATP Tennis 144 Roger Federer* -3150 vs Teymuraz Gabashvili
3. 1/18/2014 7:00 PM ATP Tennis 268 Novak Djokovic* -5500 vs Fabio Fognini

I am not sure what round this is, but you could leave 22 open spots in this parlay and if these 3 win bet the same three in the next round of this tourney or leave it open for the next tourney where they play some scrubs?

Yeah you can do that. Also, if you want to start betting tennis, you gotta watch as much as you can and keep up with the tournaments and the players and learn about them.

Leaning with Nishi, Halep, Jankovic, Pova, Radwanska, and Azarenka. I just can't pull the trigger on any of them just yet.

Added Play:

They don't play until tomorrow but I took it now because that line is only going to rise I would think. Better price at Heritage tho.

[yatescutler]

out of curiosity, have you ever completed a 25 slot open parlay?

[MUHerd37]

out of curiosity, have you ever completed a 25 slot open parlay?

A ton of them actually. I actually have like 3 or 4 of them going right now. I tend to get chalky with them because it is kinda hard to get 25 straight. Sometimes when I hedge something I will make it 25 teams. They pay well like that.

[MUHerd37]

Pavs is all over Radwanska. Just overpowering her. I'd like to be all over Pavs myself. Looks good out there.

[MUHerd37]

Pavs won 2 games the rest of the match . Thought another parlay was going down. Nice comeback by Radwanska!

Starting a 10 team open parlay:
Risk: $5
1. David Ferrer -375* vs Florian Mayer
2. Novak Djokovic -6200* vs vs Fabio Fognini
3. Serena Williams -1450* vs Ana Ivanovic

Thought it might be a little risky to put Ferrer into the 25 team open parlay and kill it but I do want to play him because I think he wins, so I started this parlay. Price on Nole is so high it kind of makes him useless so I didn't even put him in the 25 teamer. Might add him later tho just to take up a spot. Serena is already in the 25 teamer.

Here's a question, how much does a 25 team parlay pay where almost all of the picks have odds of around -3000 maybe better or worse, but say that's the average? Just curious as you can't see the real odds until you have all the picks in?

I honestly couldn't tell you. The odds I bet generally vary a lot.

[MUHerd37]

There is a parlay calculator on SBR. Not sure it can do 25 teams and those odds tho. You might be able to find one somewhere else. Just google parlay calculator or something.

[MUHerd37]

Fukkin wow fukkin wow fukkin wow. Serena lost and both parlays be done. $6 left in the project. Oh well. Update the record in just a bit.

Sorry... just give up. It's probably not even worth your time betting $10 to win .35c

2. Andy Murray -5600* vs Stephane Robert
3. Novak Djokovic -800* vs Stanislas Wawrinka (tomorrow)

This is the last of the money in the project. So if this parlay loses the project is over. The Serena loss hurt. If the parlay would of eventually hit. The bank would have been in pretty good shape to make a comeback.

[MUHerd37]

This is nothing but a project. I have other tennis bets of course. Betting just $5 or $10 wouldn't be fun. The point was to take a small bank roll and bet chalk to build a bank roll.

[Hardcoar]

Where are your other tennis bets?

[MUHerd37]

Where are your other tennis bets?

I have posted some of them. Most I don't post. 99% of my bets are parlays with other sports. Mainly college football and basketball. I actually hate posting plays on SBR. It's like a fukkin jinx. Maybe it's just a mental thing, but I just hate it.
