I was going to ask about that Harrison outcome. So that's a win at 5D? I missed the play but thought I won on a retired play before. Do you know the rules? Is it if they complete a set first? Thanks for any info. GL on the Groth play to everyone.

Nice call on Montanes, first one I was able to tail you on today, good hit!!
Got a question on how you post your plays:
Take Montanes ML 2.90 X 4 Units
My book had Montanes at +178, obviously your line was different but still not clear to me.
Are you saying you had Montanes on the ML betting 2.9 units to win 4 units?Comment -
2.90 is how most of the world display the odds which in your language is +190
look up us odds calculator if you want to convertComment -

Yes, Matt. Please do tell, why Cornet?Comment -
Grim angle here? Checked flipkens twitter looks like someone close to her died. Tweeted 10hr ago.Comment -
I actually think this would make Flipkens want to win even more to be honest. Although it could go completely the other way since don't really know Flipkens to know how she would respond.
Regardless, I actually liked Flipkens in this spot against Cornet. Only reason Cornet is favourite is cause she won against Halep yesterday even though to me, it doesnt mean much as Halep didnt want to be there from the short turnaround from the tournament she won.Comment -
If that's the angle, it's not a bad one. Of course, I don't wish anyone ill but 99% of people would not be able to focus on work after losing a loved one. It's not an escape or an outlet it is just a chore, and a miserable one. Besides, if the person is really close she will want to be with her family.Comment -
FWIW Flipkens is 1-9 in her last 10 matches as a betting dog.
And her tweets are in reference to a Belgian cyclist that died in some kind of traffic today so in my mind no factor.Comment -
So the person who died was a Belgian cyclist she knew who recently raced at Qatar. Is that it, Matt or is there more?Comment -
I'm off to bed fellas, hopefully the picks come thru.Comment -
If you guys don't want to tail the guy, don't tail him but don't ask well why why why after every pick. He's researched the pick enough to make it, if you're tailing you should trust the guy enough he did his homework instead of trying to poke holes in his picks.
The pick is Cornet because at this point in their career's she is the better player. Her form only dipped recently because she had been struggling with the flu, something that was going around the tour among a few players especially the Frenchies. She's over that now and if it weren't for that hiccup she might not even be priced as favorably in this match.
We'll see how it goes, Flipkens more than capable but still have the lean on Alize
And SirtySree if you don't pay attention to the trends and the way different players perform under different numbers/lines and look for patterns then you aren't using all the tools given to you. To say it means nothing about the individual match up is correct, but if you're claiming it's a useless piece of information then you're not here to win money. You should welcome any and all information because in the end it all adds up.
LOL @ the guy saying trends won't go on forever. Really? Will the sun rise tomorrow? Here's an idea, make your own bets instead of waiting on a guy to make his picks for you then asking a lot of dumb questions after he gives you said picks. It's clear some of you don't follow the game of tennis very closely so even if Matt begins to explain his pick in tennis terms you won't even understand it.Comment -
I don't think asking for a rationale is wrong. Of course, he can refuse to give one but on such a large play (if one were to tail) it would be stupid to do so without knowing why. At least that is my opinion and Matt shouldn't be offended (and I don't think he is) by our questions.Comment -
Anyways, good luck once again Matt. I will be following that Beck bet just like yesterday.
PS. if anyone is wondering from my posts above, not saying Cornet can't beat Flipkens so don't try and give me shit if Cornet wins.Comment -
Haha, can you tell I've got some sleep deprivation going?? I know what European odds/decimals odds are; and even fraction odds (remember looking at those in the newspaper on NHL and MLB games when I was younger and never understanding them). I was just in the wrong frame of mind looking at it and had in the back of my mind that Matt was from Texas, so I wasn't thinking decimal odds, just over-thinking it.
Thanks for the quick replies to set me straight. Fitguy - Thanks for that link/calculator, I have a couple different versions of those but not one that has all the versions (including fraction and %) in one place, nice.
Matt - Thanks for getting all those plays out early tonight!!! Now lets make the books pay!!Comment -
Matt and I go back at least a year, so I'm not ashamed to ask. He offers his picks and opinions all the time and this is no different. He enjoys doing it, otherwise he would not have a thread. If we were a bunch of jerks showing up on his thread to mess with him, I'd understand your response but we are only trying to understand and learn so that we too can become better cappers and/or have a reason for tailing. After all, this isn't religion or maybe you think it is; in which case, we should have more faith.Comment
