    Becker is only 110 vs Harrison tomorrow.

    NOW he gets respect.

    Harrison is going to smoke him...

    I've spent the whole week at Newport and Harrison is 10x more determined then anyone else there. All the other players were partying up in the Players Lounge, while Harrison was training and practicing all afternoon after his match.

    Harrison so Jekyll and Hyde. He looked like crap a few matches ago even though he won and today he just looked so dominant.

    I think im all over this Harrison bet. He has looked damn good on grass so far and gave Joker more of a run for his money that the score indicated. Line seems fishy but i also though that on the Harrison-Levine line and Harrison goes ahead and smokes him.

    Sounds amazing! Huge tennis fan as well. I went in Delray Beach and Miami. I find it hard enjoying matches u bet on while being there.

    I'm flying to Atlanta on Monday from Providence.... After that, I'm flying back to Rhode Island and skipping the Los Angeles tourney cause its too out of the way.

    From there, I will be driving down to DC, leaving on the 29th, to stay at a friends house for the week...

    At the end of that tourney on August 6th, I have a flight already booked from DC to Toronto, and I'll leave my car in DC for the week. Fly back to DC on the night of the 13th right after the Toronto tourney ends.....

    I plan on making the longgggg drive from DC to Cincy on the 14th, but if I get lazy, I'll take a flight.

    Staying with family on Ocracoke for a few days after the Cincy tourney ends, and I'll take a day off either on the way to Ocracoke from Cincy, or from Ocracoke to NYC to see some of the Winston Salem tourney.

    And finally... I'll be staying in NYC at my sisters house for two weeks to watch the US Open before I go back to Rhode Island.

    Gonna be exhausting and i'm sure ill end up skipping one of the tournaments... but its gonna be a hell of a time and I'm glad my girlfriend agreed to do this with me.

    I got Ryno tomorrow as well. Thought immediately to take Becker, but the long week of qualis and a really suspect 2nd serve yesterday pointed me toward the Hot Head.

    Don't jump off Becker train yet. This guy is hot. I'm on Becker today. He has %58 chance to win according to my estimations/calculations.

    As I understand it, you do this for a living. Do you make your living from choosing for people and charging them or from gambling? I looked at your last 10 picks and you're 2-8 so I feel the need to ask. Why do you not pick for boxing and MMA? I guess I'm curious to know, what makes your picks that much better than a sharpie on this board giving away his picks just to be a giver?

    I'm 96-75-2 overall (173 picks) - 56.14% and up 22 Units. Not great but respectable and hopefully in the future I too can gamble for a living. I'm not counting on it but it might not be a bad idea though.
