**w@lt** · 09-01-15, 01:57 PM

Ugh. Now he just went down 2 breaks in the 4th

**Snowball** · 09-01-15, 02:07 PM

Youznhy should retire from tennis if he can't beat JP Smith.

**w@lt** · 09-01-15, 02:07 PM

Got one break back..

**w@lt** · 09-01-15, 02:21 PM

I'm seeing Genie at +105 vs. Hercog. Did the line move that much in the last couple hours? If so, do you still feel confident in Genie? Thanks man!

WOW. That is some movement. The line has almost flipped. Let me look into this...

**w@lt** · 09-01-15, 06:18 PM

Well, I don't see any news on Genie. Maybe a lot of money came in from the Genie fade-train? Maybe there's something we don't know?

I was just about to put in my bet, so +110, even better!

Hope it works out. Tread lightly on Genie, unless you're crazy like me ; )

I will say that regardless of my love for Genie, I really do feel strongly that she will take this one today. I don't think Hercog has anything special that should bother Genie. If Genie just plays her game, and limits errors, she should be fine.

**Snowball** · 09-02-15, 08:35 AM

good luck Walt
but i can't back Genie against Hercog.
Genie can win IF she cuts way down on errors
but she's not going to get away with many errors and win vs Polona Hercog.
Hercog is a pounder like Petkovic. She hammers straight. I am holding back from
taking Hercog only out of respect for what Genie has done in the past.

My favorite matches today are Lopez over Fish, Raonic over Verdasco,
Brengle +/over Tatishvili, Cibulkova, Svitolina and Vandeweghe.

**CraigNet8** · 09-02-15, 08:54 AM

Raonic cancelled practice today due to a back problem, apparently.

that was yesterday's practice he cancelled.

back spasms leave as quickly as they begin.

he's going for half price.

Good luck to you as well.

I like Cibulkova as well.
Staying away from Raonic. Line seems fishy...
I wouldn't bet against Fish.

Yea don't remember the exact number, but in 2 sets Genie's number of unforced errors was either in or just outside the 40s... That won't fly against Hercog

**Snowball** · 09-02-15, 11:53 AM

Brengle in.
Raonic looks fine.
Lopez looks Eurotrash.

**Snowball** · 09-02-15, 01:20 PM

Raonic, Lopez $$

Great job Snow! I just realized now that you had the totals in those matches - that was the only thing I considered wagering on with those, but misinterpreted your plays thinking you meant ML. Kicking myself for not realizing that and taking the Overs! Hopefully Verdasco can come back and help force Raonic to choke (only ML I had).

Of the 3 remaining ladies, who do you feel strongest about? Looking for to close a parlay with a decent pick that won't make me sweat too much! Cibulkova seems good, but nervous about WTA, especially heavy favorites like that!

**JohnnyRudeboy** · 09-02-15, 02:09 PM

Snow is the ladies man but yesterday was the day for women chalk. Tread carefully!

i had them ML .. Raonic parlayed with Lopez and Brengle +/over Tatishvili meant Brengle
getting points and ML (over meaning "to beat").. and I need Cibulkova, Svitolina today.
The Open Parlay Missions thread in Players Talk is mostly where i post now but sometimes
I move around because not everything fits nicely into parlays. Sorry I was hard to understand.

**w@lt** · 09-02-15, 02:40 PM

Genie back at -115 right before start.

**w@lt** · 09-02-15, 03:22 PM

First set, Genie!

**Snowball** · 09-02-15, 05:02 PM

The good news is you will win your Genie bet.

The bad news is you will be tempted to take her again.
