No relation, and don't have an opinion on that match.

I like this pick, Lou, and am on it myself. Minar is pretty mediocre on grass, but Istomin only has a handful of matches on the surface. I think experience will dictate the outcome, and we might see a set go to tiebreak, but Minar will prevail. He's trounced Istomin twice, including two months ago in Napoli when Istomin retired in the first set. Let's cash this one!
BobHarvey, I'm on Becker in that match based on the fact that he's on absolute fire. He's won 19 out of his last 20 matches, and I think he has tremendous value at the current price of 1.625.

Hindsight is always pretty clear, some say 20/20 clear.

CrazyLou being crushed again now that Federer is gone. This bet was only for 0.00001 units so no big loss.

I certainly respect Lou and don't mean to rip on him, but he's entering DacBietViet territory with these recent tennis picks.

Wow. I think I've seen everything now. You're a self-titled Tennis Handicapping Evaluator but when someone has a pop at one of your losing tennis picks (and let's face it, they have pretty much sucked since you started keeping your "records") you call them a troll.
Let's think of another scenario. Let's say someone bets a 10 team parlay for a potential payout of $100,000 from a $100 bet. That person loses the parlay on the final play in what could be described as a bad beat. They post the ticket on the forum and no doubt expect some sympathy and a bit of ribbing.
But since we know your definition of a troll, what name would you give to the person that continually rubbed in the loss to him? For 3 months?
