Kei is a hell of a player, when completely healthy he can be darn near impossible to defend. I've questioned his mental toughness, though, but it's hard to be objective and know just how much pain he was in last season as he had some frustrating retirements. He'd win a first set, lose the second, go down one break in the 3rd and immediately retire, crap like that.
I do think getting him at +120's and +130's is a nice position as generally he's quite scrappy and powerful. BOL.

Damn, big risk, little reward.
You lose one of those, and your in chase mode for the rest of this thread.
Good job on the win though.

Murray is still nowhere near his prime, and he's already insanely good and nobody can serve on this guy. He gets better each day while Federer isn't getting better but still generally plays great. Andy can defend Ivo Karlovic's serve, Andy's weakness is more likely to be his own serve, he is a ridiculous defender and all it takes is a Roger Federer not being 100% on any given day and Murray can easily capitalize.

Great call, Crazylou. I have been a lurker here and followed some of your old tennis picks. I wonder if those that think you can only win betting big favorites will make any comments now?

What is it with people on this forum and laying on the moneyline? Is this a gambling website or a "I'm a bigger pussy than you" website? Anyone who lays big favs on the moneyline is harassed. There is a LOT of value on the moneyline. If you know how to find it.
And no, CrazyLou does not post as curious.

I was talking about this pick that a couple of people got their panties in a knot about because it was laying so much.

Then someone asked if Crazy is also Curious because I also play big favs on the ML (and people are always talking smack about it).
I guess I don't understand what the big deal is when someone finds value on a big fav on the moneyline.

He talked so much smack after just 2 matches that the gambling god put a Rodney King style smackdown on him.
