Ulver's Tennis Picks

**Mendozaaaa** · 10-20-09, 06:29 AM

Okay, large bet on Jarkko Neimann over Griggor Dimitrov @ -190 (8 units)

**Ulver86** · 10-20-09, 06:00 PM

The fish and Kendrick cash

**Mendozaaaa** · 10-20-09, 06:13 PM

Good work Ulver! I love your insights to tennis capping! Any opinion on the Wickmayer/Hantuchova parlay?

**Ulver86** · 10-20-09, 06:38 PM

I usually avoid parlays for the simple reason that Book's want you to make those plays because the odds are in their favor. I do play them every now and then "for fun" if you will.

My 3 unit plays so far have all been correct since the start of this thread, however most of my 1 unit plays have been missing the last 2 weeks. The big plays are keeping me holding water, though hopefully I can turn around what has been a frustrating past few weeks.

Wickmayer is the stronger play of the 2 as she has been in top form during the last half of the season whereas the same can't be said for Hantuchova, who has had a down year.

**Ulver86** · 10-20-09, 06:49 PM

Maria Kirilenko +220 (1u)

Szavay +450 (.5u)

Alona Bondarenko +180 (1u)

Juan Carlos Ferrero -140 (1u)

Erenests Gulbis +110 (1u)

Garcia-Lopez +110 (1u)

Gabashvili +120 (1u)

lots of plays I like tonight, possibly more later

**PASS IT ON** · 10-20-09, 06:58 PM

thanks for the kendrick tip

**RobbReport** · 10-20-09, 07:23 PM

sorry, no way Alona beats Petrova, she's in the zone at home.

**Ulver86** · 10-20-09, 10:28 PM

Korolev -150 (2u)

**Ulver86** · 10-20-09, 11:10 PM

also

Mayer -150 (2u)

**GELATINOUS CUBE** · 10-21-09, 01:22 AM

Oh shoot, you like gabashvili?? I went with cuevas, even though he is slipping in the rankings. At least he is coming off a tournament win and i like his stats, who the hell is gabash???? Don't know how to cut and paste photos onto my replys , so i'll try to put my girlfriends in my avatar, hope you like vicki.

**Ulver86** · 10-21-09, 01:34 AM

like him just a little, my 1u plays have been missing so Cuevas prolly is the play Gcube.

**GELATINOUS CUBE** · 10-21-09, 02:06 AM

Yeah, I mean is gaybashvillie or wat not even in the top 100? I can't find any info on him. I'm a check the line at 1245 and see if its moved and try to read that.
Cuevas is one of Uruguay's best though, it seems. so, I got 1 u on him. But who knows, i'm guessing and just playing for action...

haha...I thought her big serve would carry here thru but I guess I was wrong.

**Ulver86** · 10-22-09, 08:56 AM

haha its no biggie robb, your input is still always welcome here

speaking of input, what happened to Tsonga, I quite enjoyed bantering with him and his hyperbole and chalk betting

**Tsonga** · 10-22-09, 03:39 PM

taking it easy for these little tourneys...just made my first play for this tourney with soderling games...like you stated before Ulver - I don't trust a Russian tournament like this...i think anything could happen....i don't think soderling is a lock to win his tourney even though he should...

i see results wise you have had some hits and misses - nothing as crazy bad as earlier so maybe I was too hard on you.

**Ulver86** · 10-22-09, 03:43 PM

speak of the devil...

Hit all 3.

Keep up the awesome work Ulver, we know you cap well and so do you!

**Ulver86** · 10-22-09, 07:20 PM

thanks for the kind words Mendoza, very nice picks by you as well

tonights plays

Sergiy Stak +330 (.5u)

Joachim Johansson -330 (1u)

Jarkko Niemenen -110 (1u)

Maria Kirilenko -150 (2u)

Olga Govortsova +170 (1u)

most likely will be playing Korolev, still no line though

**Tsonga** · 10-22-09, 09:55 PM

I'm not with you on Stakhovsky over Youzhny - I think Youzhny has been beating some quality opponents - unlike Stak - Youzhny made it through Simon, Berdych, Hewitt, and beat Baghdatis lately...

Joachim should win - niemenen sounds ok - and when it comes to women's tennis I would only put small bits on huge underdogs because no women's player is consistent....i've gone against safina her last bunch of matches and made some $ that way...she is awful.

korolev should get a bit of a run here...i would take marchenko's games or him straight up at +200. WIN - I got Marchenko's games at -114 at +4

**Ulver86** · 10-22-09, 10:47 PM

no way im laying -300 or more on a head case like youzhny unless its against a clay only opponent

**Mendozaaaa** · 10-23-09, 03:38 AM

Okay tonight....

2U Wickmayer/Flipkens o19.5 games @ -115
2U Ginperi/Tipservich o22.5 @ -115
1U Kleybanova over Janokvic @ +215

**Tsonga** · 10-23-09, 09:47 AM

ouch

not looking good ulver

- joachim didn't win, kirilenko nope, niemenen no, korolev no,

should have listened to my pick

and we will see what happens with youzhny.

**Tsonga** · 10-23-09, 09:53 AM

going to take garcia-lopez games versus soderling at +6. Garcia Lopez has taken a set off Soderling before and may have 1 good set against Soderling today that could make the +6 a good play. -135 WIN

**RobbReport** · 10-23-09, 10:29 AM

i think Soderling wins each set by at least 3 today.

**Ulver86** · 10-23-09, 11:04 AM

obviously that was a no play on Korolev otherwise i would have posted odds and units, you know, cause I post my real plays unlike you Tsonga

**Ulver86** · 10-23-09, 11:23 AM

speaking of that match, anyone else find it strange that Korolev bageled Marchenko only to completely collapse the last 2 sets, seems quite odd

**GoldRush7** · 10-23-09, 11:38 AM

yes... and that killed one of my 3-player parlays

**Tsonga** · 10-23-09, 12:03 PM

bitter

sounds like someone is bitter about nearly every one of his picks missing

i did post some plays - your memory isn't that bad is it?

**Ulver86** · 10-23-09, 12:32 PM

bitter? not really, its one day of tennis, besides, everyone knows you post make-believe plays talking about stuff the day after, dont kid yourself

more of it with comments like ".i've gone against safina her last bunch of matches" - really? i dont see those posted anywhere

well - i will do this nice and slow for you. You are still bitter. Do you think if you say something a lot of times it makes it true? "making stuff up the day after"...i have never made something up that I didn't do. I have no need to prove myself to you...I haven't been a part of SBR so you will not be able to look up the last few times I went against Safina. But I understand in your world unless something is posted in SBR then no-one could have made that play.

Let's deal in reality/ not your make believe world....and it seems like since you asked for my whereabouts I have posted winners (not all chalk, I know you never go for favorites) (joakim loss, korolev loss, nieminen loss)....you never chalk right? i'm just not one of your love-in posters that praise your tennis capping ability....i will commend you if you get something right though....it just doesn't happen as often.
