    Thats a great way to watch a match like this, Verdasco has looked really impressive this week. I still have Ferrer as a future open and just going to add him with Sela, I am not seeing much in the way of props I like.

    The only thing I really get from the Federer/Murray match is there anything wrong with Djokovic to lose like he did. I havent got much from any post match interviews Nole.http://www.tennis-x.com/xblog/2012-03-03/8984.php

    I may hold off on a future with him and Indian wells but we will see. I just think it was too many unforced errors and very average numbers on that first serve from Nole.

    Sela -138 risk 1.38

    Isner -2 108 risk 1.08

    Ferrer/Sela +145 risk 1

    Adding another unit on Isner -2 -115 risk 1.15. I want to watch some tennis tonight and Isner has been serving well. I have never been impressed with Anderson, Roddick just couldn't put him away.

    Sela just choked. What a horrible match to wager on and a horrible tourney with the wind, I can't imagine betting on these guys in a semifinal?????? This Ferrer match should be fun to watch

    Ferrer/Jankovic -132 risk 1.32

    I will try and update record when I have time. I had a great start and a lousy finish to the month, I should have known to stay away fromt those 250s from past numbers on the sheets.

    I didnt have much time to research matches, this one stood out to me because Vesnina just lost me some more money in Dubai and seems to be one of the worst investments for gambling money over the past year. Dellacqua has shown some very good numbers lately. Worth a punt on this parlay at this number

    Dellacqua/Barthel/Zakopalova -102 risk 1.02

    I havent had much time for wagering on tennis, basketball has really been consuming my time. I really like this parlay today with a little basketball and tennis thrown in together.

    Kvitova/Del Potro/Ferrer/Kentucky (Ncaa) -108 risk 3.24

    So much basketball going on lately and I was looking the brackets today and european champions league today, I really havent looked much at tennis. This match stood out to me today though. Pretty big wager for me. I dont really understand this line for ivanovic, she just lost to caroline in a match that I thought caroline controlled from the start and ivanovic did have some chances in the second, her serve just let her down. Woz was far from her best but really just beat up on Ana.

    Wozniacki loves america and Americans love her and she always plays well here it the states. She won indian wells last year, made it to he finals in 2010, quarters here in 2009. Impressive hard court numbers, I hope she can make a return to the finals her. Players like Kvitova are just not that much fun to watch and caroline is much stronger mentally than most of the top rated wta players, she just lacks that strength and offensive game.

    Caroline needs to defend some points here and she likes this tourney. I think she dominates here but we will see.


    Wozniacki -3 -111 risk 3.33

    Greg I feel you bro. This is a time of year when I normally have to drop a sport or two for the two weeks of the tournament. There is simply no way you can keep your normal betting program going during March Madness. I do like to try and keep tennis though, maybe more so because it fills my daytime betting need.

    Good luck with Woz. I think something along the lines of their Dubai clash could be on the books which would do you fine.

    Nadal/Azarenka/Duke/Florida State/Kansas/UNC +106 risk 2

    I dont see much in terms of tennis, I cant figure out Ivanovic to save my life, she looks to be in phenomenal form lately. Some basketball wagers if anyone interested.

    NC state -2.5 -110 risk 1.10

    Cincy -2 -115 risk 2.30

    Djokovic/Ohio State/Kentucky -159 risk 1.59

    Djokovic/Ohio State/Kentucky/Marquette +134 risk 2

    Djokovic/Ohio State/Kentucky/Federer +296 risk 1 I thought for sure that federer would beat him at the Aussie and I am not real confident here, but with Fed serving well and a good number on this parlay I will take a punt here.

    Djokovic ruins a perfect day. I really don't underdand that challenge where he drops the break in the first set. He really seemed to control those first two sets until the tie break in the first and any tiebreak with Isner is dangerous.

    I am really proud of Isner and its great to see any american in the top 10 and playing great tennis, I wouldn't mind losing these wagers but Fed is just serving phenomenally and if it does go to tiebreak, Federer is probably the greatest player you could ever wager on in tiebreaks.

    Against a guy like Isner who can be so dominant in tiebreaks it can seem an impossible task if you lose a mini break but I trust Fed more than anyone and his numbers are pretty amazing in tie breaks. I really hope Fed can keep serving well and get in some long rallies and this match won't get to any tie-breaks but Isners serve is just so incredible.

    When Djokovic, the greatest returner probably to ever play tennis, didnt stand a chance against alot of those Isner serves, the over may be the best bet here. Isner has been playing alot of tennis, Simon and Djokovic were all 3 setters. I am hoping Fed can wear him down here.

    How can anyone wager on Sharapova and that serve, every service game is a trial just to watch. The serve just hasnt improved enough to wager on her with any certainty. Some more basketball wagers in here, its that time of the year.

    Isner/Federer o 22.5 -113 risk 1.13

    UNC/Michigan State/Federer +101 risk 2

    UNC/Michigan State/Azarenka +117 risk 2

    South florida -2.0 (bought the hook) -120 risk 2.40

    UNC pk/ Michigan State +1/ Cincinnati +10.5 (8 point teaser) -130 risk 2.60

    I always seems to drop one game to make me lose the last leg of a parlay. Yesterday I lost pretty early with Djokovic and won every other game. I hate doing alot of them, but these lines are pretty sharp on the basketball games and tennis matches for a handicap wager.

    Adding Florida ml/Federer/Xavier ml +154 risk 2

    I dont see much to really parlay Erakovic today with, and I really dont like this -5.5 game handicap with her either. I thought about a parlay with Barthel and Zheng or even Makarova but I am not too sold on zheng and I hate these wta parlays. The womens game can really be unreliable at times, I am just going to add these nba games.

    Erakovic/Miami heat/Knicks -144 risk 2.88

    Navarro +4.5 -104 risk 2.08

    It's good that you're taking the Knicks on the ML. That bunch of queens always play to the level of their competition. I wouldn't be surprised if Toronto won SU.

    Garrigues +128 risk 1 I love wagering on Garrigues and I have shown great numbers on her in the past. Neither player is playing great and Scheepers does have somewhat better numbers on the surface. Garrigues has a few good showings here at Miami making it into the round of 16. I will take this number any day of the week on Garrigues.

    Querrey/Ebden o22.5 -103 risk 1.03 Querreys serve may cause some problems and I wouldnt be surprised to see a tiebreak here. Querrey has been playing very poor lately, hence the low number here on the side. Ebden off a good showing at Indian wells.

    Tomic -2 -106 risk 1.06

    Vinci/Pironkova o20.5 -102 risk 1.02

    Jankovic +3 -121 risk 2.42 Jankovic has been playing very poor and her losing that Hampton match at Indian wells was surprising but alot of it had to do with jet lag, she should be ready here. Barthel is playing well but has never beaten a top 10 player, Jankovic may be out of the top 10 right now but I am not counting her out.

    Barthels record is deceiving when you really look at her wins. Oddsmakers are putting too much into the malaysia/california swing for Jelena, I am hoping she is rested and ready here.

    Harrison/Sharapova/Wozniacki/Baghdatis -132 risk 2.64

    Sharapova/Wozniacki/Errani -144 risk 1.44

    Sharapova/Wozniacki/Lisicki -110 risk 2.20

    Ncaa basketball

    Marquette -2 -110 risk 2.20

    Louisville +5 -110 risk 1.10

    I hope you hit your futures. You can always get an ipad, sbr store has some cool junk. I need to start playing with those points more, I just put in these ridiculous parlays in the sbr sportsbook and I always lose.LOL

    RHB. I am never sure on these parlays but I wouldnt touch a couple of those handicaps on the matches, Harrison dropped the first set , but he just won the second set so that parlay is still alive. Mayer is a young player who really is more of a clay specialist judging from his numbers, 2-8 in his last 10 hard court matches and he has never beaten a top 10 player in his career. His hard numbers over his career are not impressive.

    Baghdatis disappointed me at the Aussie but he is having a pretty decent year. Marcos has much better numbers on hard and Mayer is going to have to beat someone before I would ever put money on him, hopefully alot of greeks in the audience and baggy is up for this match. He has pretty mediocre numbers here in Miami in the past though.

    I think she has one of the easiest draws in the tourney. Watching her matches is a horrible experience at times, every service game is a struggle and you keep waiting for the double faults. I just dont understand how she doesnt have a stable serve at this point. If she can hold serve, she could meet Azarenka for another finals like at indian wells.

    Azarenka and Kvitova have a tougher draw in my opinion. I still think Serena is worth looking at but who knows how much she really cares about tennis at this point, she claims to have been training hard but she would still have to get past stosur and clijsters or woz to get to sharapova. Serena has a tough draw here.

    I like that williams wager eagles has, Kvitova is one of the most bizarre players on tour. She can spray balls all over the court and mentally fall apart, but when she is hitting her serve and really connecting with that left handed forehand, she is unstoppable. Tough match to call but after watching Kvitova fall apart against Mchale, I would be leaning Wiliams but this is a tough one to wager on. I love the fact that Kvitova has a great serve in the womens game but she is unreliable, I may put something on this in the morning.

    My favorites for parlays

    Berdych,Tsonga,Simon,Pennetta,Ivanovic, Hantuchova

    I am going to get these in tonight

    Berdych/Simon/Tsonga/Pennetta -104 risk 2.08

    Berdych/Simon/Tsonga/Ivanovic +122 risk 2

    Kentucky (ncaa basketball)/Hantuchova/Pennetta +114 risk 2

    Isner -3 -116 risk 1.16

    Nalbandian -106 risk 1.06

    Hantuchova -4 -114 risk 1.14

    Granollers -3 -120 risk 1.20

    I am a little worried about Ivanovics retirement at Indian wells but judging from her words on her web site she seems to be in good health and ready to go. Zvonareva is another one I am worried about with her retirement at Indian wells for the flu ,but I am going to roll the dice here and hope Ana and Vera are 100%.

    Blanco is going to have to beat someone before I would touch her even with that handicap. Her only real wins are Morita who retires in 3 sets , the fact that she wins a challenger in clearwater going up against 124th ranked Czink and 128th ranked Voegele isnt enough for me to put my money on her. You may want to go with a book with at least a one set retirement rule or a full match completed or void rule if you bet Ivanovic/Zvonareva but I am hoping they are 100%

    Zvonareva/Ivanovic/Berdych +113 risk 1

    Bartoli has had some success here at Miami, she made it to the round of 16 last year and the semifinals the year before. She has been playing decent tennis lately,making it to the quarters at indian wells and losing to an extremely in form Ivanovic. She was suffering fron that virus that was going on around indian wells

    She did just beat hercog pretty handily back in January in Sydney and is 3-0 in the h2h with her. Hercog did have a decent showing at Dubai, but lost to hampton at Indian wells and this is not a very good surface for her judging from her poor numbers on hard.

    The humidity may take away form bartolis power on her shots and it is a concern, and I am hoping she is feeling better after Indian wells. That zvonereva match has me gun shy of picking anyone coming off a retirement or illness, but if Marion loses matches like this, its going to be a long year for Bartoli.

    I normally dont like to throw Bartoli into a parlay, I have negative numbers on her overall, but I have about 2 wagers open with berdych and I dont feel like adding him in another one.

    Bartoli/Baylor/UNC/Nadal -111 risk 2.22

    Coming off a great day thanks to these parlays and a little weary of doing these again, but I am going back to the well and sticking with what is making me money. Players standing out to parlay are Almagro, Gasquet, Del Potro, maybe Woz, Clijsters and Barthel in WTA.

    I will throw Ferrer in there after the year he has had and he has done well here in Miami in the past, but he was not well in Indian wells with that virus. This is all I got from his site. Hope translation is close and he is not saying he is sick as a dog. LOL

    From Ferrers site

    Rough day. I will try to add this ytd up here tomorrow morning, pretty useless having a tracking thread with no ytd. I am still doing better on these damn parlays than my straight wagers. The only straight wager I am looking at is the Murray/ Raonic over.

    Parlay candidates-Williams, Berdych, Radwanska, Isner, Nishikori, Ivanovic, Kentucky ml. Maybe Boston Celtics ml or Feyenoord ml. You can add Radwanska and Nadal ml in there for some extra coin.

    My spreadsheets are killing me with these totals, I am going to take a punt with Raonic and this over. Probably lose. I cant hit the broad side of a barn with my totals. I did hit the Querrey over though.

    Raonic/Murray o22 -126 risk 1.26

    Williams/ Berdych/ Isner/ Nadal/ Radwanska +110 risk 2

    Berdych/ Williams/ Kentucky ml/ Nadal/ Radwanska +112 risk 3

    Kentucky ml/ Nadal/ Radwanska/Nishikori/Williams +113 risk 1

    Kentucky ml/ Nadal/ Radwanska/Williams/Boston Celtics +100 risk 2

    Kentucky ml/ Nadal/ Radwanska/Pennetta/Boston Celtics +114 risk 1
