    Damn Malisse taking down the open parlay. Just threw him in on a whim too. Should have just stuck with the two sweet doggies to kick it off

    Thanks Matt. A bit of a relief to bring it back near square too!


    I'm just about done this week.

    Barca

    Half tempted to have another go at Raonic +200 v Ferrer, but remembering he isn't against a head case tomorrow, will leave it.

    Can't see Nadal going down in the other semi but if they offer Verdasco +6 or better I might have a lash at that.

    Tossing up Ferrer for the tourney +800 as my last bet in Barca.


    Bucharest

    Simon and Fognini to win the semis, but not sure I want to lay -275 on Foggy after he has already paid me at +odds 3 times in the last 2 weeks.

    I might start a new open parlay with those two.


    Taipei

    Still interrupted there. I have a couple of parlays ending with Lu who is 1-3 down in the 3rd set. (one I didn't post here) and am sweating a 5 unit swing on him coming back.

    Basic should take other interupted quarter.

    Whoever wins these two will lose in the semis to Ito and Soeda though I imagine. And those semi final bets will be my last here.


    Napoli

    Will wait and see what price is on Mannerino over Kuznetsov. Winner of that semi should take tourney imho.


    Sao Paulo

    Too hard.


    Savannah

    Will take qualifyer Strode over Baker. He has taken out a couple of quality players on the way through and should open up at nice odds. Probbaly need to jump on it as soon as they open.


    Women

    Too hard in Germany. 1 v 4 and 2 v 3 semis.

    But I like another qualifier, Bertens +105, to work over Pous-Tio in the Morroco final. Pretty much for the same reason I like Strode as the qualifier. Bertens has taken out Halep and Scheepers along the way, only dropping 1 set on the way to the final, whilst PT has had a dream run through never seeing a seed, and would be a big dog to beat either Scheepers or Halep on most days.

    Geez, I hope someone backed all those leans, as just about everything came in as predicted.

    At least I got a bet down last night on Bertens (who already won). But just missed getting on for Strode.

    I would be careful of the Haase match. Haase is one of the players on my black list. A kid with so much potential & talent, but under achieves like no one else on the ATP. Its shocking at times. Bolleli has won a ton of matches this year on the Challanger level & will certainly have confindence in this match. Especially if Haase does not have his serve clicking. This could almost be a coin toss match up in my eyes, I saw the odds on Haase & there was no way I wanted to touch this match. But GL if you took him. I hope he cashes for you.

    Also, I like your thread. I didn't really see it till right now. I started a new one myself & I am tracking all my plays and my payouts. Would love for you to swing by sometime and leave your insight, opinions or comments on any of the plays/discussions. Sounds like you know your stuff. I wish you the best of luck in all of your wagers

    Funny you should say that about Haase being on your blacklist. I've felt that way about him in the past too. Although this year, and particularly recently, he has been playing up to his ability quite reliably imho.

    You might be right about the price being less than great value in hindsight, but too late now.

    I've been reading your thread. Even posted a couple of times in it I think. Very good one.

    Thanks DM, I'll try. I decided not to try and do write ups as I knew it would stop me posting all my bets. I tend to follow a group of players and look for spots to bet their matches as my main strategy.

    And that was a stupid 5 leg parlay. (4 legs lost btw) and even though it's just .25u, it pisses me off posting stupid bets.

    Glad I listened to the forum instead of myself on Tomic

    Think Lopez will take this in regulation, and with the line at -4, under 21.5 ev seemed like strangely good value as well.

    A couple of big name scalps, who didn't turn up to play themselves, isn't enough to convince me Tommy has too much chance here. Local pressure will be on now too.

    Ekaterina Makarova* +105 vs Galina Voskoboeva 1u

    If I think of it, I always bet Makarova as a first round dog, against anyone. This is the first time it's come up this year, but she did it 5 or 6 times last year and almost as many the year before. Anyway, it's just a personal system play of mine that I've hit way over 50% of the time. But isn't based on careful capping.

    In the Athens Challenger I like these guys to advance to 2nd round;

    Zopp, Kunitsyn, Zverev, GGP, Matosevic, Bemelmans, Burquier and Beck...

    Anyone have any input that might suggest any of those should lose?
