I fell for the massive price drop on Fognini here.
He's hurt and probably going to retire before the match ends.
He was due for a tank.

Gonna make a couple big wagers for Saturday.
Cilic over Isner seems like free money.
Cilic has been playing really well and both of these guys have the big serves but Isner obviously struggles once you get past that.
Big chalk but seems like a price at only -210, should be a bigger fav in this matchup. I believe he's 2-0 or 3-0 vs Isner already as well.
Like the over 23 in the Gulbis/Gasquet match. Seems like a very even matchup here IMO. Gulbis is playing really well and Gasquet is one of those scrappy battlers. Could easily see a tiebreaker or 2 in this match as well as 3 sets.
Also making a smaller wager on Steve Johnson over KA. Johnson has already beat him recently and Anderson looked rather shitty against a mediocre opponent yesterday. Anytime I see this guy favored I want to fade him. I just don't like his game and am never impressed with it.
BIG PLAYS
CILIC -210
GASQUET/GULBIS OVER 23 -110
SMALL PLAY-
JOHNSON +150

Damn rough day so far.
Gulbis owned Gasquet quick and Johnson has no shot in this match.
Looks like I'm gonna need Cilic to win to break even today.

particularly with Isner's current generally-stiff condition, Cilic is correctly heavily-favored tonight....their last 3 H2H's (3-0, all straight sets, on three different surfaces) are revealing...tall full-dimensional tennis player vs. ridiculously-tall big-hitter of set-up shots...the real tennis player wins at least as often as the -200 indicates

Lol cilic comes through for me but I got so lucky tonight. Had a moneyline parlay with him and wizards -260. Down 1 NeNe dunks it just in time with 0.3 left in the game to win by 1. Nice to be lucky once in a while.

Not as big a fan as I used to be.
NBA sucks now, not competitive enough.
OKC doesn't look too bad.
I was looking at the Nets over Lakers with the early lines.

My early Sunday play is Tsonga -120 over Gulbis and I'm parlaying it with Cilic.
Rather small on the play but if Tsonga loses I will be hammering Cilic straight for sure.
Lot of Gulbis hype and he's been playing his top game right now, opposed to Tsonga, who has really looked like shit pretty much even though he's winning matches this year.
I feel you are getting a great price on Tsonga here because of the circumstances, and it's a final so you know he's gonna bring it.
Will be loading up Cilic again today in a few parlays with NBA or college games, there's no way he's losing to Anderson in this final. I don't care if KA won this thing last year, he's not even close to the level of Cilic boys.
Straight set blowout in this match.
Let's root in Tsonga for the breakfast play though.
TSONGA -120

Dropping the hammer on Cilic AGAIN boys.
Didn't see him vs. Isner yesterday but dude has been playing solid tennis so far this year.
This is a straight set match for sure.
I continue to believe Anderson is one of the worst players in the top 20 and will fade him against anyone halfway decent. He's way outclassed here.
Got him parlayed with OKC ML also, pays a little better than even money. Let's go POET!
BOL today.
BIG PLAY-
CILIC -240
SMALL PLAYS
CILIC -1.5 SETS +110
CILIC/OKC ML PARLAY +110

HC, you're being overly-pedantic in that Sheldon-Cooperish way we talked about before, remember?...the other (aka. the "normal") kids in the sandbox don't like it when u're like that...(everybody likes a smart kid, but nobody likes a smart-ass kid)...
ok, everyone, don't mind HC and his cryptic sentences anymore...return to using words and numbers as you wish

It wasn't even smart, he sounds like a dumbass.
The statement was simple.
If Tsonga loses in the parlay, I move on to my other options of betting Cilic.
I was betting him either way regardless of what Tsonga did, but if he loses, I was going to bet more on Cilic straight. Putting Tsonga in a parlay with him was me trying to save a little money laying the juice on Cilic straight.
I think HC is Eurotrash if I'm not mistaken, so maybe spelling some stuff out a little better word for word next time will help him, since he's worried about what I'm betting lol.
Anyways, Thunder lose, off to another bad start today just like yesterday. Cilic has to save me again. If he straight sets it I win a good amount still.
LETS GO CILIC!!

Been laying low with the tennis scene lately.
Tennis is a pain in the ass to watch everyday due to the awful streams you have to watch some of the matches on.
Wish there was easier ways to watch these matches.
Anyways gonna make my return play on a guy I feel should be a small favorite but getting plus money on.
Gonna take Raonic +120.
Murray continues to struggle and play 3 set matches vs. tons of lesser competition.
Raonic is pretty underrated.
2-1 vs. Murray in the few matches they have played in the past, and just seems like the right spot for him.
BOL boys.
RAONIC +120

Raonic's game is gelling very quickly...
1st game he served like a perfectly-tuned bot...but apart from serving he played dreadful ITF-level
last game out, his ability to actually play tennis when the ball went over the net more than once improved greatly (more like a top-tier Challenger-level guy)...and his serve stayed on...
of the very tall guys..as far as NON-serving elements of the game...i rate them in this order (best first) with regard to talent (not their current form): Raonic, Cilic, Anderson, Isner (Karlovic doesn't even deserve a mention here...as 1-dimensional a serving bot as they come)
when Raonic gets fully back in form he is arguably more dangerous to the elite-tier guys than a Nishi, Dimitrov or Gulbis imo...and Murray's not playing anything like an elite-tier guy ever since the operation...
at plus money, Raonic a good call...if he continues getting sharper it's a sure thing he'll make this a battle, maybe even dominate if Murray continues to play safe and timid

Cracking the whip on Raonic again for Thursday.
Dolgopolov been playing well so Raonic is a juicy price here at only -140.
Dolgo just not in his class though. Speaking of Dolgo WTF he owns Fognini doesn't he?
Anyways, I expect Raonic to win in 2 sets today so I am putting a small wager on that at +175 also.
These 2 have never played each other, I think that's another reason the price is so small in this spot also.
Let's get it.
BIG PLAY:
RAONIC -140 OVER DOLGO
SMALL PLAY:
RAONIC -1.5 SETS +175

Going broke Sunday on Joker -160 over Feds
Fukkkkk that Joker will not lose in a final to Federer ever again.
2nd Biggest tennis bet of the year so far for me, let's get this money guys.
Bet it ASAP that line has to go up. Anything under -200 in this matchup is an automatic hammer the rest of their careers because no way Feds will take 1 out of every 3.
DJOKAVIC -160

I'm definitely leaning on Nadal today +120 over Joker in this final boys.
He's due here and never winning this one will motivate him even more and should put him over the top.
Both guys not exactly dominating opponents this year so far, losing lots of sets and playing very shaky at times.
Anyone want to talk me out of Nadal?
