Just curious, what makes you pick Radwanksa to beat Azarenka? Just trying to understand your thought process with that one as I was leaning towards Azarenka....

I don't understand how anyone could take Azarenka with that chalk. The players are on similar levels.

ATP: Simon over Baghdatis +215, risk 1.5 units

Hopefully Simon can recover his form quickly.

yisman im dying to learn tennis....just dont really know where to learn about the players....did pretty well on the Assie open but that was only because two things, 1st probably a little beginners luck, 2nd because i got to watch every match and i love playing tennis and felt after watching i had a good read on things....just really know nothing about most the players, hell didnt hear of half the ppl i was betting on till i saw them play....i will be paying attention to this thread from now on and any advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated

You don't have to watch a ton. You just need to become somewhat familiar with the skill level of the players, and then when you feel like betting, scan the daily lines. If anything seems off, look into it further.

My strategy is to avoid chalk of greater than -150 or so. When I play chalk, I nearly always lose for some reason. But aside from my own bad luck there, it's a terrible idea to play the heavy favorites (-300 and up). Those are the best places to look for people to fade. I stopped doing it as much, but taking value shots with live underdogs getting huge MLs is generally profitable.

small parlays can be profitable too.

ATP: Santiago Gonzalez +450 over Schwank, risk 1 unit

WTA: Voracova over Parmentier +126, risk 1 unit

3-0 lifetime vs. Parmentier

yisman · 02-22-10, 06:52 PM

forgot to mention:

all three matches were in 2009

yisman · 02-22-10, 11:02 PM

Gonzalez was definitely worth the shot. Lost two tiebreakers.

dlweaver · 02-22-10, 11:38 PM

just saw this post about voraceva.. i had noticed the same that she was 3-0 in the past year.... nice win for us both

EmpireMaker · 02-23-10, 01:14 AM

Nice call on Renata Voracova wish I had seen it sooner and got in on it !!!

BillyCostigan · 02-23-10, 01:16 AM

Yisman what are the chances of Pervak falling to Lertcheewakarn? I'm hoping 5% or less? LoL.

yisman · 02-23-10, 01:43 AM

haven't had the chance to review the information or form an opinion, sorry.

yisman · 02-23-10, 10:44 AM

.

yisman · 03-12-10, 01:35 PM

this line is ridiculous.

ATP: Oscar Hernandez over Yen-Hsun Lu +700, risk 2 units

Lu has no business being such a huge favorite.

yisman · 03-16-10, 11:22 AM

I like Almagro's chances tonight against Blake

yisman · 03-16-10, 06:06 PM

ATP: Almagro +200 over Blake, risk 2 units

considering Jankovic

homers54321 · 03-16-10, 09:17 PM

yisman, wanna go all with me on federer -900? for sbr points that is

yisman · 03-16-10, 10:59 PM

maybe another day. Baghdatis isn't the guy I want to go against, although Roger is taking care of business.

I bet Roddick today and won 10 points. :P

Also bet Almagro.

yisman · 03-16-10, 11:02 PM

roddick on tonight gainst jurgen melzer @ 1030pm will bet that too

yisman · 03-17-10, 02:18 PM

it just started.

Anyway, I like the odds in the SBR Book on Djokovic. Not making the pick here, though, because chalk always seems to lose for me when I do that.

yisman · 03-24-10, 12:26 PM

^ it lost that time too.
