yisman's ATP/WTA picks thread

[RobbReport]

sorry bout the tough night big, yis good call on Montanes, Monaco totally crumbled.

[yisman]

No idea why Monaco was such a big favorite over Montanes. Good value play there.

[Ulver86]

nice work yis, i stayed away from that one myself as i wanted to take monaco, good decision it turns out

[yisman]

nothing new right now.

will check tomorrow's matches when I get the chance

[yisman]

Fernando Gonzalez -154 over Youzhny, risk 1 unit

[tltaylor89]

I'm hammering Verdasco and Gonzalez

[GoldRush7]

gonzalez already played...6-3 6-4 victory

[yisman]

yeah, it was 5:55 AM. I posted before I went to sleep, because it was going to be way too late when I got up.

[yisman]

looking over the men's matches. I'll have something posted soon.

[yisman]

Robredo over Soderling +330, risk 10 units
Blake over Nadal +400, risk 2 units

[Ulver86]

had a lean on Robredo play, going to tail you here,

[sportscash]

good luck

[Ulver86]

Robredo couldn't serve well, every service game was a battle and his first serves weren't going in

and Soderling did something ridiculous, winning 15 of his first 15 points on 2nd serves, dont think ive ever seen that before -- by this i mean for his first 15 2nd serves, he won every single point on those 2nd serves

[yisman]

that was terrible.

Obviously, I'm surprised.

The Blake pick worked out, because he did give Nadal a battle.

[Ulver86]

yea but the 10 units you put on Robredo hurt

what was your lean/insight on that?

i liked the play, but 10 units on a dog is quite a bit

[RobbReport]

I think Soderling is the most improved player this year. he should be top ten. ive been saying it this whole time.

[yisman]

Zvonareva has completely dominated Bartoli in the past. I would think another straight sets win is in the offing.

[Ulver86]

i thought the same yisman, looked completely fine after the 1st set, then just butchered the final 2

bad last 2/3 days of picks for me, every dog i pick wins a set only to come back and lose the next 2, every favorite i pick comes out flat

Tsonga is the play today, presents a horrible matchup for Monfils style

[yisman]

surprised by what Bartoli did. Glad I didn't pick that.

[yisman]

Olaru over Goerges +178, risk 5 units

[yisman]

[RobbReport]

good call Yis, i tailed that one.

Not a fan of NHL, yisman?

All due respect...if you're betting WTA this late in the season (or at all for that matter), you're just flipping a coin...break points are like oxygen to these wannabees, even at majors...might as well be at a fashion show

I am. What do you mean?

There's value all year round when betting underdogs. It's not flipping coins.

I don't see you making any picks over in the Hockey section of the site. Could use another sharp around there.

[BeatTheJerk]

Yisman where's your YTD ? You don't tally it up after all these plays ...................

True. Maybe later in the season. I don't feel comfortable enough right now to make picks. Last season I did the best bets thread, but now it's being done through SBR Picks, so I didn't bother.

Yisman where's your YTD ? You don't tally it up after all these plays ...................

It's true. I've been slacking. I will catch up one of these days, but it's a lot of plays.

I need a chunk of a few free hours and a good Internet connection.

[yisman]

Suarez Navarro over Kvitova +184, risk 3 units

[RobbReport]

hope you're wrong about Kvitova.

[RobbReport]

nevermind i'm tailing on Suarez.

[yisman]

that didn't work out. At least she kept it close.

[RobbReport]

if you watched the match, she had a break chance at 4-5 then she took a spill late in the first set and then later in the same game miss-stepped an easy return and never really recovered like she lost her sharpness or something...

[Astrodust3]

Sorry to be a noob but what do you mean when you risk 2 or 10 units?
