Kudos to you. Capping the ongoing tournaments has not been easy.

Jeff_Black · 02-28-17, 11:39 PM

That's why I don't mind taking it slowly for a bit and have a few plays here and there and if I am not feeling then just walk away. And why I didn't do much the last two weeks when there is still several months left lol.
Feeling Sau Paulo should be a good roughies tournament, have no idea who will win but finding it near impossible to trust any favourites there.

That said I did ok but not great in Indians wells and Miami so hopefully this week is a bit of a springboard for that

hedgejob · 03-01-17, 01:18 AM

I think only 3 out of 9 women in Mex covered today & 4 faves lost SU. The handicaps were laughable, like Puig -5.

I lost a 4-teamer with the J Brady loss in Mexico.

Jeff_Black · 03-01-17, 04:09 AM

Seen other people having similar theories to fading Puig, probably her first tournament on clay? I dunno I haven't been following womens but the men's favourites I don't trust either. Rio was a tough one to back favs too
