Set handicap, but then again Hanescu has been losing matches 6-7, 6-7 recently. So split stake between the both.Comment -
Hello there clutch, just checking in to see what you have going here. Do you have a running record of your picks and units won? I was trying to look back and couldn't find anything! Very interested to see how you've been doing since starting the thread. Good luck on all your plays today my friend!

Great to have your encouragement and support bro.Hello there clutch, just checking in to see what you have going here. Do you have a running record of your picks and units won?

I intend on waiting till the end of Brisbane before adding it all up on here, but I'm around 50% hit rate atm after a somewhat lengthy set of bad beats and around 3 units up. Very ordinary, but looking to develop on that once I get my teeth in.
:P

Hey Clutch what are your thoughts on Granollers and Garcia-Lopez? Thinking of parlaying them together for a play.Comment -
lol
2 unknowns.
My biggest advice to you would be don't parlay anything for the opening part to the season.
Neither have played any matches thus far this season and they come in against challenger player's who have played and are looking for their break on the main tour. Granollers should win and so should GGL, although Ney is a decent shotmaker with the possible game to play on hardcourts. Would be more comfortable with Granollers. Saying that, I would avoid both. Completely!Comment -
I understand, thanks for the response buddy! I've been wagering on tennis for a long time, but I must say this is my first time starting at the beginning of the season - usually don't start until the Aussie Open, and then bet some of the smaller tourneys in between the majors. It's hard to gauge the mentality of the players at times. Are they lacking motivation? Do they even care about the lesser tourneys, etc? I must say it seems the only ones that truly care all of the time and play their hearts out every match are the top players in the ATP, especially Nadal, Joker, and Federer.Comment -
It's not a simple black or white case of do they even care about the smaller tournaments I don't believe, but more their body and match sharpness isn't there.
Betting favourites isn't smart in tennis either. The prices are rarely right on tennis so you get a lot of value and where you may be put off on high underdog odds, you shouldn't be.Comment -
didn't see your thread... good luck you seem to know your stuff about tennis

Great thread. what's your record?Comment -
I've asked him the same thing lol. I completely understand though, I have my own college bowl thread, and I haven't even updated it yet even though all the games are done for the night. And I only have 3-5 plays a day, way less than Clutch releases, so I don't have an excuse lol. Anyway Clutch I know you'll update everything when you get the time. Thanks for the picks buddy, and keep up the good work! Very much looking forward to future plays/discussions. Do you have a set profit or unit goal you are trying to make by the end of the season?
Comment -
You're not posting your plays anymore mate?Comment -
Not exactly winning, so I didn't suppose anyone really cared? Everyone I back chokes away matches.
Karlovic - Break up in the second set and also matchpoint and loses.
Querrey - Millions of breakpoints, over 20 to be exact, 2 points away, loses.
Mahut 5-3 up first set to lose 5-7.
Giorci (Even though I hedged @1.95 on this one) Serves for the match, 2 points away, chokes and yes, you got that right, loses.
...but the one that beats it all is Radwanska 2-0 vs Bouchard. 6-2, 4-1 (40-0) 51.00 for Bouchard to win the set, easy hedge, I go downstairs to make food, I come back and it's 4-3 or somthing and I cannot hedge properly.
If you still want my plays coz you can see these are bad beats, fine and cool I'll give them but I wasn't born a lucky person and I always pick the choker.Comment -
Beck +1.5 sets handicap @3.58
Beck ML @9.05 (Now 10. something)
Jankovic vs Azarenka Over 20 @1.81 (got it early)
Bhambri to get a set @1.85
Isner @1.9Comment -

This is just an idiot throwing darts. Hence, no record.Comment -
This.
I have no comeback to this either, because I've shown nothing impressive but the Hanescu winner @2.9 and Oh and the Penneta call @2.48 versus Stosur. lol as any good.
He has a point. Don't bother looking for my picks. I know nothing. Despite my tennis background, nothing. Matt and the Eagle guy are your go to fellas. Not me. No sarcasm involved.Last edited by ClutchOnandWin; 01-03-14, 01:14 AM.Comment -
..but tbh with you I have no idea for frugalgamblers hate, it's clear to anyone I talk sense and know quite a bit about this sport. You're only interested in the tried and tested, that's fine but you were against me even when I headed off to a good start with this thread. It's cool, eevry guy has therir hating stalker, you're mine I imagine.
I'll continue to post picks just to spite you. With your bland exterior as a poster.Comment -
The reason I do not like you is two-fold. 1) Newbies might think that you actually know something about tennis and tail you based on your pompous write-ups; 2) You clearly have to too much time on your hands. It is perfectly fine if you want to post your write-ups in your thread. GL to you. But you also tend to pollute other people's threads. When I told you that it was not cool to post duplicate long posts in different threads, you called me an idiot. Well fella, you are a pretty good fade so stick around. But the only idiot here is you.Comment -

Keep posting your plays, no doubt the chokes will start to even up over the season.
frugalgambler - if newbies want to tail, that's their decision.Comment -
Thanks, rankslash. I genuinely enjoy discussing tennis with the folks here. This is probably the best subforum on SBR: not much drama and several pretty knowledgable contributors. Let's hope it stays this way.Comment -
Keep it up Clutch

Thing is this. That guys a dickhead, because everyone clearly posts in everyone elses threads with discussion and debate, this guy wants the bland, old and dry system of making your own thread and updating it with picks and writeups and no one chipping in. Everyone to do this with no discussion, nothing. If he wants that very structured and uniformed forum. This is fair enough, but it never happens and never will happen and if he's going to target me for not sticking by "his forum etiquette", he needs to look at all the others whom do it also. He probably doesn;t turn his head to them because they haven't much substance to their posts and just shout picks and call them locks.
He comes across as one of these do-gooder, self righteous, supressing, energy-sucking leeches. You know those ones that like to suck the energy out of stuff with their "follow the bible" nonsense?
Being an American he probably thinks all British drink tea, eat biscuits and speak like the queen, so refers to my posts as pompous. Simply because I play tennis and speak fluent unamericanised English. Ignorant, narrow minded, little jealous boy is what he is.
...and as for Rankslash, the bloke whom hangs around my threads and replicates my picks, (Or was doing so whilst I was winning at the start here) you're some little inconsiderate tit that has zero self awareness. You clearly saw I had picked Gulbis to get a set and it sparked you to then go on and take the over play. You can even check if I'm lying, your thread on the over came moments after I posted about Gulbis taking a set. What's worse is you then repeated your over won in two separate posts, twice and smiled in each one of them. YEs you're the bad bloke here, not me.Last edited by ClutchOnandWin; 01-03-14, 02:35 AM.Comment -
No you don't, you don't partake in discussion and offer absolutely zilch in terms of discussion. YOu dislike the fact there's someone outgoing on the tennis forum and their to conflict your idea on bets Eagle gives you. You "TOLD" me to stop polluting threads did you? You TOLD ME? Well, I'm sorry, but just know the next time you feel any desire to want to TELL ME what to do on a public forum board, my default response is a display of my middle finger.
Who in the world are you to tell me what to do? You think you're bad because you've gotta dude riding a massive wave in your avatar? Gimme a break. You're the one with too much time on your hands, observing every post on here and doing your do-gooders deeds with self righteous posts on how and how not to behave on the forum. I bet and trade on tennis for a living and try to use this as a platform for discussion. Found 1 or 2 guys but not many.
Keep to Eagles thread. He clearly does a good thorough research on players finding out priceless, very determining information about their current state of minds (Motivation) and fitness. He cleverly uses this to form smart picks and he's very good as a result. As for everyone else, there's no one here particularly that great at the sport, so you have the entire tennis section as fade material, don't even bother with me bro.
