ATP Buenos Aires: Robredo-Haase Over 22 [-112]

**EaglesPhan36** · 02-14-14, 10:35 AM

Figured my choice of Gulbis ML or the Over and I take the loser.

**matt1216** · 02-14-14, 10:39 AM

EP, take Sjsling. I watched his last 2 matches vs Berrer and Youhzny. The guy is amazing on his home turf so far. Youhzny actually played well, but there was nothing he could do. Same with Berrer. Sjsling making these crazy shots.

**EaglesPhan36** · 02-14-14, 10:43 AM

I don't trust that dude. Passing on any more dog tries this week.

**jessetk313** · 02-14-14, 10:43 AM

True. But Sjsling is def not consistent. Can he deliver three days in a roll?

**jessetk313** · 02-14-14, 10:45 AM

This isn't even a match delpo didn't even come to play. Only thing I can think is his wrist is really bothering him.

**matt1216** · 02-14-14, 10:55 AM

I can't wait for the French open again! I'm going to have that change of court thread up. Very successful with 1st sets last year

**EaglesPhan36** · 02-14-14, 12:54 PM

Mountain of suck.

**Bumdeal** · 02-14-14, 12:57 PM

At least he retired.

**EaglesPhan36** · 02-14-14, 12:59 PM

Feels like Kwanza Claus came for a visit!

**EaglesPhan36** · 02-14-14, 02:35 PM

And back to Suck Mountain I go

**beefcake** · 02-14-14, 02:38 PM

Bogo had him ,now nishi is going to ram it in him with no lube..

**EaglesPhan36** · 02-14-14, 03:18 PM

My best win of the day was a retirement that led to a cancelled bet. #winninglikecharliesheen

**STAY STRONG** · 02-14-14, 03:55 PM

Danger zone.

**EaglesPhan36** · 02-14-14, 04:27 PM

Might be my last bet of the week, probably should be.

ATP Buenos Aires: Ramos +5.5 [-118]

**EaglesPhan36** · 02-14-14, 06:54 PM

I actually got Over 17.5 @ +100 in-game instead of the above but it shall lose too. Thus concludes another week of scurvy.

**STAY STRONG** · 02-14-14, 07:20 PM

Get shit faced and come back firing again next week.

**EaglesPhan36** · 02-14-14, 07:42 PM

I may just stick to futures and the 1st round upsets for a while. Seems to be the better reads I have on things and then after that, into the shitter. Good luck for the weekend. Double gin & tonic in the process of being sucked down with a 2nd ready to go.

The force is strong with your Berdych +500 future. (Dumbass me, I passed on that one and just took the Dimitrov +1800.)

**EaglesPhan36** · 02-15-14, 01:22 PM

Yeah I liked Berdych as the strongest one. His draw seemed solid. Of course that would have meant losing one of the futures if they played, but Gulbis took care of that. I really thought whichever one of those survived that part of the bracket would win it. Of course Cilic is lighting it up the last two weeks, so he is gonna be a tough out if he makes it. Will be doing a write-up for the Rio tournament and I think I have chosen Delray Beach as a 2nd because if memory serves there are usually a shit ton of upsets there and the champ winds up being someone who is not seeded high and should yield a really good return on a futures play. Have to look over the draw and see who is playing.

**EaglesPhan36** · 02-16-14, 10:36 PM

Shorty previews for the week on the two tournaments I am keying on.

ATP RIO OPEN

1st Round Upset Watch
Lajovic over Volandri
Klizan over Garcia-Lopez
Zeballos over Monaco

Preview: Rafa has a supremely smooth draw to the semis assuming his back injury is not an issue. He has had little practice time reportedly since his loss in Australia when the back injury flared up. While Robredo is the best talent in heris quart, I think there could be some surprises. That may leave Andujar or one of the qualifiers to sneak through. Fognini leads his quarter with Almagro as the 5th seed up top. Fognini is in awesome form with a 10-1 mark on clay this year. Only fatigue might derail him from three straight Finals appearances. There's quite a bit of young talent in the Ferrer Quarter, but none seem the sort to work past an in-form Ferrer. If the Ultimate Grinder doesn't come out flat against Chardy, I think he can roll into the semis.

Futures: No prices found so far. Think Rafa & Ferrer though depending on price.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ATP Delray Beach

1st Round Upset Watch
Qualifier over Karlovic
Klahn over Hewitt
Vesely over Baghdatis

Preview: Qualifiers should be monitored heavily as they have had a great run of success at Delray Beach. A qualifier has made the Final two straight season and in four of the last six. For qualis: Steve Johnson faces Sam Groth. Ryhne Williams faces Bjorn Phau. Robby Ginepri faces Gustavo Elias and Wayne Odesnik faces Mischa Zverev. Keep an eye on the Johnson-Groth winner and where they land in the draw. Haas with some rest could be due for a shot to come out of his quarter. Sock & Mannarino is a good 1st rounder there. Kevin Anderson has been off since the Australian Open, but will top his quarter. He has played well here though, so expect him to win from the get-go. The Nishikori quarter should be exciting with Cilic also there. Cilic is in superb form with back-to-back Finals appearances in Zagreb and Rotterdam. The big question is can he go a third straight week? Nishikori looks the better option here. Don't discount Ryan Harrison this week. Yeah, I know tough to trust. He gets Lu first up who retired from his last match in Memphis, so he may or may not go at all. In the last quarter, health is the major player with Isner and Pospisil headlining - but both not having played since Australia. As a result, someone like Sela, Bogomolov or even Falla might sneak through here.

Futures: Anderson @ +1200. Nishikori @+400. Monitor the qualifiers again to see their draws, but they may be more of a longshot this year.

**ParlayininHTown** · 02-16-14, 11:10 PM

Can't ship you two points right now. This post is just a reminder to ship you two tomorrow, EP. Thanks for the write-ups.

**matt1216** · 02-16-14, 11:43 PM

I shipped you 8 points through a transfer. Keep it up.

**EaglesPhan36** · 02-16-14, 11:46 PM

**Hardcoar** · 02-17-14, 05:40 AM

Klizan at those whoreshit odds.

How so?

**EaglesPhan36** · 02-17-14, 01:04 PM

6-4, 4-6, 7-6. That would be how so professor. Fantastic attempt at a choke though. Blew a break lead in the 3rd and a 3-0 start to the TB in the 3rd before righting the ship.
