    entertaining IMs re: Tennis dogshit

    I have plenty of IM conversations that seem normal at the time, but must look bizarre in hindsite. This one cracked me up when I was looking back.

    Elihu: is davydenko dogshit?
    Elihu: the sheet says cutoff is +150
    Elihu: market is +161
    KGB: ah yes
    Elihu: if he opened lower, he is dogshit
    KGB: he opened lower
    Elihu: where did he open?
    Elihu: and can you put up a dogshit warning on the sheet when needed?
    KGB: +147
    Elihu: we pass on him
    KGB: Kirillenko is another dogshit it seems
    KGB: opened at +111

    If I wouldn't have a clue about sports betting I would have probably thought this is a coded conversation between some secret mossad agent and a russian asset/informer.

    Someone emailed me after they saw this post and said I was the Queen of Nicknames and that he was surprised I'd left some out. But there are so many... Tennis Forum is definitely the most entertaining and probably lucrative subforum on SBR. Seriously great posters in here. When people disappear for awhile, it hurts my heart. Just wish I had a bit more time to bet at the moment but with packing, 2 jobs, etc it's all a bit much. Soon though. In the meantime, I hope everyone is kicking some butt.
