    Challenger: I SPY!

    Keeping a running tally of all Challenger picks made here for me this year. Circuit kicking off this week. Probably won't be providing a ton of insight on the picks early as form is still a little sketchy for everyone who hasn't played a ton. Do whatcha want with the info.

    January 22
    Heilbronn: Bemelmans -150

    Lotta scratch on Marchenko today.He made a big ranking move last half of 2012.I agrre he can take Phau.Dont know what the fukk happened with Stebe.Travel Fatigue?Ungur is shit on hard courts.

    Noticed that they moved the Hawaii tourney to Maui instead on Honolulu.Court could play alot different even with the same surface.Usual whos who of USA turds playing of course.Mcclune mighgt be worth a shot.He is a good hard court player and Bogo even though is better than last year cannot be trusted.Britton as well here .Williams coming back from Aussie land with maybe some fatigue??

    Good luck this year boss on the dem challengers.Lots of finds if you have some info as you well know,

    Yes indeed. Just saw the Maui lines, gonna go check 'em out and see if anything is worth playing. Also dirt rats in Colombia. Probably pass on that one since most of them I don't have an idea on form yet, give 'em a week at least.

    Sackmann has some pretty good stuff on tennisabstract about challengers, did this tourney used to be in Honolulu? Soeda seemed to dominate Honolulu, maybe smyzek and ito to look out for here as well, wheres ginepri? You like Klahn? Like this number on Sweeting, Klahn had a pretty good run at US Open last year and beat Melzer but numbers seem to favor Sweeting here. May have take a longer look at this one, Sweeting is not a moneymaker for me

    Yeah used to be Honolulu so have to see how the courts play since it's kind of a virgin surface because of the venue switch.

    Stupid me thought Sweeting had more fight in him and had the over.

    Hit a couple of parlays for points against Yisman at least.

    Love these early Challenger events every year.

    ALEJANDRO GONZALEZ (-215) vs PATRICIO HERAS (+165)

    Any thoughts on this match? From what i've researched so far it seems like Heras has a shot. Gonzalez has zero matches under his belt this season while Heras has 9 and Heras has beat him before...


    edit: nvm line got pulled early

    I'm skipping the clay one this week. Most of those guys haven't played many if any matches, so it's a lot of guess work to gauge where the guys are at. It looks like talent has won out in most of the matches, but I wasn't going to go in on those 1st rounders without seeing a little form first.

    Open parlay starts well although Johnson took a set to get going. Soeda won easy.

    5Dimes in full blown retard mode. They have the 1st match and the last match at Heilbronn posted and none of the six in between. Get your head outta your ass Tony.

    Something has changed at 5D in the last 6 months. They are not as on the ball as they used to be with several smaller sports.

    Rochus won in straights. Bemelmans coming up in a bit. Probably have one play in mind for Maui this afternoon, but gonna watch the price for a little bit before I firm up on it.

    Waiting a little while longer as these have been set adrift with movement now. It will be one for the 3pm ET starts. Should have it up after 2:30pm ET once I wait out the price whoring and get a little nap in. Party on Wayne.

    I would possibly kill a baby bunny for a nap right now. Idiotically watched Djoker/Ferrer last night till 5 AM and woke up at 7 for work. Derp.

    Loads of chalk on this one, but Russell to beat Kuznetsov in Maui tonight at around -270

    Russell leads the head to head 10-0, and has only lost 2 sets in those 10 meetings.

    Really hope this isn't the night Kuznetsov decides to play spoiler, come on Iron Mike!
