Bragging Rights Open: Weekly Thread 2/16-2/22

**EaglesPhan36** · 02-15-09, 03:30 PM

ALL LINES USED FOR THIS CONTEST WILL BE FROM PINNACLE SPORTS. I WILL POST THE LINES IN THE THREAD FOR EACH DAY OF THE WEEK OR HAVE SOMEONE POST THEM FOR ME IN THE CASE OF MY ABSENCE. THOSE LINES WILL BE THE ONLY LINES ACCEPTED FOR PICKS ON THAT GIVEN DAY. ANY LINES USED OUTSIDE THE POSTED ONES WILL BE GRADED AS NO ACTION.

I. There will be a maximum number of 24 picks allowed per week (Monday-Sunday) for each week unless otherwise noted for larger tournaments. There is no minimum # of picks required. Any picks over 24 for the week will not be graded. Picks can be made from either ATP or WTA events that week as long as the lines have been posted by EP36 or an appropriate designated fill-in. Lines from non-listed tournaments will be graded as no-action.

II. Before the first match begins in each tournament, players will be allowed to pick a winner for each tournament if so desired. If a player correctly picks the winner of the tournament, his total # of units gained for that tournament will be doubled. In the case where a player gained negative units for the tournament or did not wager on any matches in the tournament, but correctly predicted the winner - two units will be added to their total. Any "futures" pick made after the beginning of the first match of a tournament will be graded as no-action.

III. Picks on favorites will be "to win" one unit. For example, risking -150 (risking 1.5 units) to win one unit. Picks on underdogs will be risking one unit. For example, risking one unit at +150 to win 1.5 units.

IV. Just reiterating, any picks made past the start time listed in the Daily Lines thread for this contest will be graded as no-action. So please make your selections as EARLY as possible!

V. In the event of any scoring discrepancy or time-stamp related discrepancy to making a selection, it is the player's responsibility to point this out to EP36.

VI. There will be a new thread started each week for posting your picks for the current tournaments. Only picks posted in the weekly threads will be graded. Any picks posted here will not be graded!

Might lose all 3 in Round 1.

Simon barely alive in the 3rd set today. Schwank & Soderling, gonzo. Thank goodness I don't play big favorites.

**SBR Lou** · 02-17-09, 05:39 PM

Good luck, guys.

I didn't enter this just to see who would win.

not in the competiton but I really do like Dabul. He's a better player than Maximo IMO - Maximo's run has been a string of qualifiers and low ranked players, the only legit win there is Moya (but I didn't see the match) - I will willingly go for Dabul.

**Spanks** · 02-19-09, 09:51 AM

Pick #9: Arguello +275
(Monaco is getting WAY too much of a price here. They played 3 sets last time & Monaco nipped him 7-5 in the 3rd and that was a year ago when Monaco was clearly the better player. Arguello has closed the gap some I believe. Solid price.)

Riding that train again, eh?

I said it last week when he lost. I think you gotta really watch him here in the next couple tournaments to see what happens when he goes up against good players. Gulbis might not be ready to take him out yet, but JMDP's price could yield good dog wins in the future as I think he's still a bit mentally fragile from the Federer whipping in Melbourne. Good luck bro!
