Giorgi @ 3.53 – 3 units (Pinnacle)

**ManeOnFire** · 05-28-14, 10:45 PM

What do you think of Watson for 9 to win over Halep?

**Hardcoar** · 05-29-14, 08:00 AM

I really don't know, I have to say.

**Hardcoar** · 05-29-14, 08:00 AM

Kvitova -5.5 @ 2.03 – 10 units (Pinnacle)

**Hardcoar** · 05-29-14, 08:17 AM

Cirstea -4 @ 1.99 – 5 units (Pinnacle)

**Hardcoar** · 05-29-14, 08:18 AM

Struff @ 4.8 – 4 units (Pinnacle)

**Ronald S.** · 05-30-14, 12:17 PM

HC can I get your opinion on Kerber -1.5 sets?

**Hardcoar** · 05-30-14, 12:21 PM

I think this is a very hard one to predict, and it could really go either way. Kerber has been shit lately generally speaking, and on the back of recent injury troubles she could just flat-out lose. This a clear-cut case of "no bet" to me. Essentially, I would advise against that bet based primarily on the high level of uncertainty.

Edit: In fact, to expand on the above, this is also why I think Towel @ 5 just might be a good bet.

It's not really for betting purposes though... it's for a game where you try to make correct picks in a variety of sports... but anyway appreciate the insight!

**Hardcoar** · 05-30-14, 12:54 PM

If no odds are involved and you're simply asking for the most likely outcome in terms of sets, then yes: It is.

**sluggy1616** · 06-02-14, 11:23 AM

Hey Hard,

You on vacation or are you just not seeing any value in the lines??

**Hardcoar** · 06-02-14, 12:26 PM

I'm on mental vacation. Trying to regroup and focus.

**Hardcoar** · 06-06-14, 07:28 AM

Fabbiano @ 3.68 – 4 units (Pinnacle)

**Hardcoar** · 06-09-14, 03:53 AM

Vekic @ 2.14 – 10 units (Pinnacle)

**Hardcoar** · 06-09-14, 03:55 AM

All Bencic has ever amounted to on grass is beating a few lowly Japs last fall. Vekic was immensely close to winning this tournament last time around and just doesn't seem to produce results on clay, but loves the grass and – not least – the UK. Despite her recent losses (again, on clay, not to mention Bencic hasn't been stellar herself on her favorite surface), I see her as the clear favorite in this match.

**kenz** · 06-09-14, 04:21 AM

Which is very understandble as she made a name for herself lately. Even Bouchard and Halep were nobodies last June compared to who they are now. Now one is World No 3 other is World No 12. Also in WTA being a court specialist is not as distinct as in ATP, in most cases non-existent

Hope you cash but if you mind your reasoning is off IMO. I think Bencic is a class above Vekic on pretty much every aspect of the game and will win. But will skip WTA. BOL Hardcoar

**JC1186** · 06-09-14, 04:25 AM

Strange bet (And no. of units!!) to come back to after a "mental vacation" HC.

**kenz** · 06-09-14, 05:27 AM

Watching the game, Vekic looks good. No break yet 2-1 Vekic leads

**kenz** · 06-09-14, 05:30 AM

I think you are on the right side HC

**kenz** · 06-09-14, 05:55 AM

Now Bencic adopted grass style, in the beginning Vekic was more dominating. Very close game but I would say 51% Bencic ATM.

She will serve for set @5-4 but I am neglecting it. 4-4 or 5-4 51% Bencic. BOL

**JC1186** · 06-09-14, 05:55 AM

Bencic the more talented. Vekic will want it more because she has mostly just tasted ITF success.

How zero idea how people can put 10 units on shit like this. There are so many more calculated plays one can make.

This shit's just desperate crap and people convince themselves into betting big on a mug wta match because "they should be clear favourite" or whatever other stupid reason.

Anyway BOL to you HC.

Lmao! And there is my point haha.

**JC1186** · 06-09-14, 05:58 AM

Lmao what an arsehole coach. Did you catch that Kenz?

Stop bitching blah blah blah grow up. Great way to inspire your player mug.

**kenz** · 06-09-14, 06:03 AM

No unfortunately. Had some work to do.

Did you catch the first point on the game Vekic got broken? Might be 5th game, I thought the ball was 20 centimeters out but ump called in and gave the point to Bencic.

**miketommo10** · 06-09-14, 06:14 AM

Strange pick on Vekic, Bencic has a perfect game for grass if she serves well! Clay isn't her fav surface and will go on a deep run this week. Vekic's temperament has reclined in the last 6 months regardless of the kuala lumper win!! 1.91 on Bencic is a huge price

**Hardcoar** · 06-09-14, 07:59 AM

She lost, that's all I have to say in response. I already said why I like the bet. I accept your differing opinions and appreciate your input!

My bets have nothing to do with desperation. I bet on selections I like. I bet fairly big on this one because I liked it a lot. It happened to lose. I'm noticing a trend lately.

I don't mind your opinion at all though... nothing bad can come from it. Please keep it coming.

Best wishes.

Was there drama??

**kenz** · 06-09-14, 08:51 AM

Vekic got upset a bit but not really drama. If my eyes did not deceive me it was a very easy out call

Spurs and Leonard personally have made me a lot of money over the past two playoff campaigns. GL Hardcoar.
