A tennis pick worth a fairly significant wager

**SBR Lou** · 07-09-09, 03:39 PM

Finally, game is playing. Match is on serve in the 2nd game.

Dancevic drops the first set tiebreak 11-9, this is an extremely close match. The value was probably with the dog here.

Well with way match has went, 2nd set is about over with Dancevic grabbing the early break. He may streamroll for here if he grabs another one, which is looking very probable.

Not so fast.

I wouldn't suggest putting half your account on any selection, just because if it happened to lose I wouldn't be able to sleep, but me personally have done it before when having the best of it.

Am I confident that he will win, and easily? Yes. And the movement has been with me, despite being postponed into a 3rd day, but I would recommend betting with your comfort level.

So, where did you make this wager?

Ah, the "this guy is going to lose in straight sets, value" play. Love those. Normally I reserve those plays to, say, over +500, but to each his respective own.

**Dark Horse** · 07-09-09, 05:35 PM

CrazyL, you were down 10 units to yisman in under 30 plays in that little contest (and you won more games!). He's not your rival. He's your teacher.

Season long ATP contest, or nothing.

I'd out-handicap any tennis poster in an ATP's season long contest 7 days a week and twice on Sundays.

Players coming out onto the court now. Time for Dancevic to kick some ass.

Ladies and gentlemen, the worst tennis handicapper in the world, CrazyLou!

Give it up!

**cuteboy86hi** · 07-09-09, 05:46 PM

You should give proper reason to back ur picks.I didnt post anything but i was really surprised by ur pick.There were rochus and mahut available who are better grass-courters against small opponents.
What was it that made u choose this guy?Some line movement or math stuff or did u really see some spark in dancevic?

Contest for what?

Turtle and hare don't play tennis.

**EaglesPhan36** · 07-09-09, 05:51 PM

Not gonna ridicule you for another -200 or more loser Lou, but placing a "significant" wager in this post-Wimbledon tournament makes little sense for any pick as you have no clue as to the desire of the flakes who are willing to play this. There's absolutely no player in this tournament who is worth making a larger wager on as a favorite.

**jjgold** · 07-09-09, 05:52 PM

Man I feel sorry for Lou, maybe he will turn it around.

He deserves ridicule. Lou has the audacity to mock people rightfully playing the other side of his horrendous tennis picks.

jj, I want to see you and Lou square off in a tennis handicapping contest.

**mathdotcom** · 07-09-09, 06:01 PM

Dancevic lost I gather?
Hahaha Lou has a talent for picking losers, he deserves our respect

**dwaechte** · 07-09-09, 06:04 PM

Amazing.

**yisman** · 07-09-09, 06:08 PM

Who would win a tennis handicapping contest?

jjgold -200
CluelessLou +150

Lou would take the chalk.

**moses millsap** · 07-09-09, 06:14 PM

Tacomax still has one fucking sweet avatar.

**j0hnnyv** · 07-09-09, 06:24 PM

this is getting way out of control. lou please stop posting plays dude. this has to be some big joke. you cant keep losing all these big chalks

(8) S Stakhovsky defeats F Dancevic 76(9) 26 75

**SSLP** · 07-09-09, 06:35 PM

This still continue to amazes me .

This guy didnt even know what tennis betting was 14 months ago , no he is a tennis " evaluator " it takes more than watching a few grand slams , reading some stats and posting like your a tennis master.

It took me years to become a fair soccer capper and I never dare to tell posters lay a " significant " amount.

I respect Lou's desire to become a good capper and i am sure he will but I would not bet his plays just now.

Its like when a handicapping service calls you .. you wanna monitor their plays for sometime before you pay. ( never do it btw most of them suck)

Betting a +1150 ticket before a grand slam starts is amazing but most people lay action on Federer .

This is just my opinion

You always told me your talents lie in the WTA, Lou. What's changed?

**Matt Rain** · 07-09-09, 06:52 PM

In my new capacity as Certified Tennis-Handicapping-Evaluator Evaluator, I hereby proclaim that you sort of suck at this.

**tacomax** · 07-09-09, 06:57 PM

**unknown Gambler** · 07-09-09, 07:03 PM

Lou , Maybe the horses would be more your style, tennis seems to challenging, no shame in knowing when to gracefully bow out of the game.

This part of the year there is more value in the ATP because of the surface changes and womens propensity to lose serve more frequently.

**durito** · 07-09-09, 07:07 PM

He is actually doing a decent job here. The purpose of these threads is to drive traffic. Anyone that actually think he bets these picks is wrong. He uses pinnacles odds, he can't play at pinnacle. He talks of max bets, when the limit is more than his yearly salary. He isn't betting. The threads get a lot of views though.

durito,
Not sure what the beef might be, I seem to pick up on a sarcastic, condescending tone from you when replying to my posts. That's OK, I'm all for people letting me have it and all, but just unsure where this may emanate from since I've always considered you to be one of SBR forum's best posters.

**durito** · 07-09-09, 07:14 PM

So answer my question, where did you make this bet?

**SBR Lou** · 07-09-09, 07:15 PM

I'd rather not say publicly, but I can assure you, the bet was made, and it lost.

Sorry if you tailed.

**durito** · 07-09-09, 07:17 PM

yea i tailed

**yisman** · 07-09-09, 07:23 PM

Lou, I'm waiting for an apology. You should also apologize to everyone who has actually taken your tennis "handicapping" seriously.

**BeatTheJerk** · 07-09-09, 07:26 PM

I lost money on his juice spilling Juan Martin Del Potro great value play at Wimbeldon ...................... WTF Lou lol I want a refund for tailing !
