yisman's ATP/WTA picks thread

[yisman]

Azarenka +300 over S.Williams, risk 1 unit

[j0hnnyv]

yisman do you purposely just bet every dog each day? or do you cap each match and come out with the dog having the value each time. I am not busting balls, just wondering. I just know everytime I open this thread you are throwing around all sorts of units on the dog everytime when alot of the time you have to know 100% they have no shot at winning and are basically gambling.

Let me know, you have had some nice hits along the way but all those units being thrown around on days with the chalk and better player winning out has to start to take a toll.

best of luck tomm with the men please tell me you have atleast 1 favorite going tomorrow

[yisman]

Dude, I occasionally pick favorites. Look back through the thread.

Picking underdogs is the best way to make a profit on tennis, though. I scan the underdogs and pick the ones I feel have value. I only pick favorites if I see a big edge. I never pick anything past -200.

have any leans for the WTA tomarrow?

i have been following the thread, occasionally there is a slight favorite. being up 90 units in the french open is an incredible feat. you had another thread for that? good job.

good luck the rest of the way. i will look to see what fav you take tomm because there will be alot of favs winning. only dog I truly like is haas. even though karlo has insane value but wont beat federer. hewitt at +210 is alive but I like roddick to win there in 4 or 5 sets tops. murray will beat jcf in a 4 setter if I was predicting.

but who knows i could go 0-4 thats why its gambling right?

no WTA. Just ATP.


I think I'd say over on Hewitt/Roddick and under on Murray/Ferrero, but I'll be back in a few hours. Definitely nothing big.

Prohibitive favorites mitigating the dog-chasing.

[yisman]

sorry, couldn't wake up for the early stuff. Overslept.

[yisman]

Hewitt over Roddick +255, risk 1 unit

Murray/Ferrero under 34.5 (+119), risk 1 unit

Roddick/Hewitt over 42 (-107), risk 1 unit

[aneurysm00]

I dont keep in touch with tennis as much as I used to but so someone fill me in with what has happened to Tommy Haas?!?!!

Has he finally realized all that potential he has/had or is this Wimbledon run a freak occurrence?
All I remember was a whining, underachieving, perennially injured player who cost me a fair bit of money in the past.

[yisman]

I'm also surprised Haas has made it this far. Pretty sure he's going down tomorrow, though.

Dementieva over S.Williams +460, risk 1 unit

[yisman]

chalk, you say? People want chalk?

Well, gotta give 'em what they want.

Haas to win 3-0? NO -6000, risk to win 10 units
Federer -1100, risk to win 2 units

I was thinking about Rochus possibly too. Can't make up my mind though. GL.

[shhhhh22]

I like the Rochus picks... but am leaning Crivoi personally... Are you gonna play Istomin in the ESPN game??

[yisman]

^ I did and lost.

oof, 0-2. Really thought Rochus would pull through after taking the first set.

[cuteboy86hi]

i didn't pick rochus cos i thought he was playing on grass 3-4 days ago and he might not adjust to clay straight away.

[yisman]
