yisman's ATP/WTA picks thread

[Astrodust3]

Cool thanks. Anyone think Davydenko is a good pick against Safin at -247?

[yisman]

Davydenko's been playing well lately, but I'm always wary of picking him. It's either no bet or (on a rare occasion) his opponent.

October 19

Makarova over Safarova +228, risk 2 units
Becker over Greul +114, risk 1 unit
Montanes over Mayer +124, risk 1 unit

[Astrodust3]

Safin isn't much of a threat so I have 1.5 units on Davydenko. Odds seemed right. He's hot right now and should be full of confidence coming off the Nadal win.

[RobbReport]

where is this match?

[Astrodust3]

Kremlin Cup Moscow, Russia. Davydenko wins this match 8 out of 10 times imo.

Tailing you on:

Makarova over Safarova +228, risk 2 units

Cheers mate

Ouch.

[kompulsive]

I hear that. I think I'm gonna jump on this train too. I really don't see this match as very threatening at all and he's hitting some sick angles. I couldn't believe the level of play he brought to the table against Nadal.

[StraitShooter]

Safin?..He will lose to a guy ranked 200th and beat federer the next tourney..you never know with him

[StraitShooter]

One of my favorite Safin matches is when he beat Federer couple years back at the Aussie Open..Match was like 4 am in the morning..Oliva Newton John danced and sang to - Do you believe in Magic right before the match..Great memory for me..still got it on tape

I was a semi..Safin I think won the tourney too

[klintan11]

Well, I've got 6 units on Davydenko 2-0, he won in two straight sets against Nadal, and Safin is on the decline from what he's been.

[yisman]

Fognini over Kukushkin +154, risk 5 units
Cornet over Rezai +240, risk 2 units
Schnyder over Kvitova +151, risk 3 units
Cirstea over Niculescu -116, risk 6 units

[PASS IT ON]

any thoughts on the Alisa Kleybanova vs. Magdalena Rybarikova game. starts in 30 mins???

[PASS IT ON]

anyway i took kleybanova, 5-0 so far first set, watch the other chick pull out.

[RobbReport]

hope it's not a trap but Cornet dropped from +240 to +100.

[yisman]

still not on SBR Lines.

[ACoochy]

Tailed you on the Schnyder pick. Cheers yisman, keep up the good work

[yisman]

One early morning pick (6 AM EDT):

Llagostera Vives over Schiavone +255, risk 1 unit


will be playing Monaco this afternoon, I think. Play to be posted with odds and units in 8 hours or so.

[yisman]

Close but no cigar.

Schiavone won 6-7 6-4 6-3


Monaco over Johansson +207, risk 2 units

[yisman]

let's start with a few early plays:


Wozniak over Kirilenko+110, risk 2 units
Szavay over Dushevina +205, risk 2 units

Granollers over Ginepri +215, risk 1 unit

[ztballer]

yisman, are you always playing dogs?

[RobbReport]

yes, he always plays dogs. always.

[xxdjstriderxx]

i am on wozniack and granollers

[ztballer]

anyway i took kleybanova, 5-0 so far first set, watch the other chick pull out.

what did you get it as? I tailed tripp, on Kley.. got it for 1.22 at Pinny

[ztballer]

Easy money... $22 in the bank LOL

In other news, down 250 from fukking Australia basketball.

[yisman]

damn, I liked Korolev, but I figured I'd be able to post it later. Then I overslept.

I like Schnyder.

[yisman]

Schnyder +1200 over Clijsters, risk .5 units

[GoldRush7]

Shit.. Schnyder was up a break in the third set and got broke back... hopefully she can pull it out

[GoldRush7]

awesome pick.. just got home and saw the result..

[B1Bomber]

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

Oh man...did anyone else follow the Wickmayer / Cornet match today? 19! break chances in a 1-hour, 49-minute match! Betting chick-tennis at this point is pure folly (sorry to quote myself)

saw it, these chicks couldn't hold serve to save the planet.

Ive never seen more underdogs win. Moscow seems to be the place where every dog has a better chance.

Did you read the recent New York Times article (might of been the L.A. Times...I'm too lazy) concerning the Russian gangster? Holy crap these guys are far more powerful than the U.S. President...

This guy (multi-billionaire many times over) basically dictated the result of the recent energy embargo / pipeline crisis...is one of the top global players in moving top-shelf weapons across International borders...surrounds himself w / Phd's from Ivy League schools (Statistics, International Law, Business), pays them crazy-like...and in summary is one of the most powerful people on Earth (and he's a Russian mobster)

In comparison, John Gotti would be a laughingstock to these Russians, not even worth a second thought to them

Fixing a tennis match??? Sure why not...shits & giggles

[BeatTheJerk]

= 4 pts

[StraitShooter]

Safin?..He will lose to a guy ranked 200th and beat federer the next tourney..you never know with him

just like I said

Knocks out a hot davydenko..then loses to nobody special
