8-4 Plays

GoBlue77 · 08-03-14, 11:45 PM

I will be playing Paire, Lisicki and Tsonga. 2 french dudes, god help me.

Also, Cirstea will be defending 620 of her 1351 points here, she falls out of the top 70 if she loses to Safarova. Added pressure plus motivation, I will be laying off that one.

Geoff_Saari · 08-03-14, 11:55 PM

Nice. I got Hewitt and Isner for tomorrow.

matt1216 · 08-04-14, 12:00 AM

I like Hewitt, he looked good in Atlanta. He barely lost to Raonic

kenz · 08-04-14, 03:28 AM

I hate Hewitt. Bad for cholosterol

SSVIR · 08-04-14, 09:58 AM

Added a few more to the original post.

SSVIR · 08-04-14, 12:41 PM

Cilic is a turd. Up a break in the 3rd set .... and broken right back. This is like a WTA match.

pattymayo · 08-04-14, 12:45 PM

Are you winning with this strategy of huge juice + tons of plays?

kendy · 08-04-14, 12:55 PM

^^ if she/he is not winning, will they continue?

SSVIR · 08-04-14, 12:59 PM

Strycova is a winner.

Really fun match to watch actually.

Strycova was feisty as hell and both came to net a decent number of times and tried to dictate the points rather than just acting like backboards.

Strycova is a nicely put together package.

Could be treading water ., I never see this guy post a record or unit gain / loss so just a question

SSVIR · 08-04-14, 02:00 PM

Took out Matosevic plays b/c he withdrew.

kendy · 08-04-14, 02:52 PM

@pattymayo you're right,tho he/she does post her results, but i think it wud be nice if @SSVIR starts posting/adding her allocated Units for each play.

yea i noticed this as well.. dude will update with a w/l record like it means anything without the amount of units won/lost.... you could go 6-4 and still be negative on the day playing some of the juice this guy is. I've never seen anybody consistently put single units (assuming that's what he's doing) on big chalk like this haha

that being said i do usually peep the threads so you should keep them coming, even if your reasoning behind your picks is pretty elementary

i need to introduce you to my friend matt

SSVIR · 08-04-14, 03:31 PM

I'm not looking for Internet cred or to establish some sort of following so not sure why you guys give a shit what my profit/loss is but regardless ...

I do most of my tennis wagers on 5D which limits me to $100 for Qualifiers and Challengers. When you see a double post its b/c I waited for the line to change to add to the size.

Most other wagers are $250-$400 with the occasional $500-$1500 wager.

I only post my thoughts to see what others are thinking and looking for opposing views so that I can sharpen my knowledge as the season progresses.

lol then why do you bother updating every win and loss?

SSVIR · 08-04-14, 03:55 PM

Pavic getting smoked by Marcos Giron.

Pavic has been playing regular tour matches the last two months with a 50/50 record and Giron is 400+ in the world and average on the Challenger tour.

What did I miss on this one?

There are some others but this is definitely the best one. Pretty damn good picture though.

Yeah would definitely smash if she actually looked like that

Pavic breaks at 4-5 and then wins the 2nd set TB 8-6.

On to the 3rd set!

I don't get it either .. If you aren't looking for followers why even post picks and then update your post with the final result?

And how are you seeking discussion when you're posting the picks after you've played them

SSVIR · 08-04-14, 04:54 PM

I'm making my own informed decisions and posting them. Others have expressed their opinions otherwise. I read them and take them into account for the next time.

If you don't like it then GTFO.

pattymayo · 08-04-14, 04:56 PM

Would it kill you to post a record and your unit gains/ losses?

How else are we supposed to know how you're doing and if we should tail or not

SSVIR · 08-04-14, 05:16 PM

Hewitt's serve smells like a dirty diaper wrapped in Indian food.

kendy · 08-04-14, 05:41 PM

@brodie u wrong for that 'matt' line....lmao.ha!.....matt is actually trying to get it 2geda, am happy for him hopefully he doesnt flip. Oan: am not a fan of lengthy write ups on picks or matches,short, straight & precise write ups does it for me. No need to go on about how this players forehand floats to the corner when he/she hits it or what stance he/she chooses to hit a backhand in a preview. Cause it's not a given that having a long a s s preview gurantees a WIN. @pattymayo am sure he'll do something about it

SSVIR · 08-04-14, 05:41 PM

Marchenko getting crushed by **.

Surprising since Marchenko has had some decent wins recently and his losses were against good players (Pospisil,Matosevic) and ** has been hiding in China playing challengers.

As I type this he saves a couple match points and breaks serve to go back on serve 5-5 in the 2nd set.

Marchenko takes the 2nd set 7-5.

W-U (not sure why it keeps correcting to **) has the worst serve I have ever seen. Literally just spins it in at 85 mph.

SSVIR · 08-04-14, 06:11 PM

Marchenko is done. Broken twice and down 3-0.

He's wilting under the pressure to hit 20 shots to win a point.

W-U is a backboard.

kendy · 08-04-14, 06:11 PM

^^ errani 2.0..lol...bam! It becomes a bait for their opponent to overcook it.

SSVIR · 08-04-14, 06:43 PM

Loose service game by Kokk getting broken to lose the 2nd set is going to F UP my +4 games wager. Cost me two games by losing that and not being able to start the 3rd set serving. Damn.

YUP

SSVIR · 08-04-14, 06:51 PM

Added a couple more.

Went from up 15 units to up 5 units after consecutive losses by Kokk, Hewitt, Marchenko, and McDonald.

FACK

SSVIR · 08-04-14, 07:42 PM

Pannetta had the first set up 6-5 and love-40 to break .... and choked.

Lost 5 straight points to lose that game and then 4 more to start the TB..... then climbs back to 5-5 in the TB and goes all Italian on me.

Now she's going full blown Italian and getting beat like a drum in the 2nd set.
