    Sam's daily bet

    Hi again!
    So after my self-humiliation with my fail thread I restored my bank and had a good run actually. However, I don't have enough time since my studies are more important than betting.
    I came up with a funky idea, let's see how this works out.
    Every day one pick.
    Starting bank: 3 units
    After every 10 units won (if that happens) a berserker bet will be made for 10 units.
    Tail me if you want, or fade me (actually that might be a better idea )


    (Actually I do this thread just to play with the fonts and colors. Btw century gothic rox)

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Let's go!

    4.3.2013 Bet #1

    Millman

    Now I know jack shizzle about football, but is it really that likely for three given matches all to include scoring?

    Well, I've been doing this some time to increase my odds on a parlay...I would say if you choose wisely, it can be safe, but sometimes it just doesn't pay off - for example a few days ago a hit THE ONLY TWO games without score in spanish league that day...
    but...you know...for the sake of the fun

    Bank: 4,38u
    Balance: +1,38u


    5.3.2013 Bet #2

    Tursunov 2-0
    Gulbis 2-0
    Przysiezny
    Schwartzman
    Groth


    Stake: 1u
    To win: 3u


    So Tursy and Gulbis should do their jobs well, unless gulbis decides that one tournament win is enough for him this year which might happen pretty well. Przysiezny looked good his first match, not having any real competition today imho. Schwartzman had some pretty impressive results lately, he's a solid clay grinder. His opponent Olivo had a good run last week, but that was on small event, against weak opponents. Lastly, Groth beaten Jeong just few days ago 6-1/6-2 so I can't see Jeong winning this time.

    Had some strong leans on stakhovsky , russell , roger-vasselin , barton and reynol ds but since I'm doing just one pick I talked myself out of those. Will check how they do tho.

    Well so Schwartzman lost in a three setter, but gulbis couln't make it in two, which makes me feel a bit better about my loss. Guess I just got too greedy there. I will get even more greedy today tho as there are a lot of plays I like. All the leans hit apart from Vasselin who lost 6-7/5-7.
    Will play two plays today cos as I said - a lotta plays I like.

    Your parlaying those players? I'm not understanding.

    Also, how confident are you on Mladenovic?

    both plays lost yesterday, still can't believe it. Times like these make you almost paranoid - when choosing picks you stop trusting your judgement...anyway if this game doesn't hit, there's nothing for me to do here any more.

    Balance: -1,62u

    Steaua/Chelsea over 0.5

    Peer did surprise me, but Berankis wasn't shocking at all to me. I don't know why he's been so horrible in the last couple of matches though. Perhaps he's not feeling well.

    yeah man you're doing great in your doubles thread! Everyday I consider just blindly tailing you but i bitch out just to see that you made another five units lol I just hate tailing totally blindly:/

    I have errani/vinci and hlavackova/hradecka in one parlay, but I put here only the ones I feel like 90% sure or more

    Ive decided to stay away from hlavackova/hradecka match cause dushevina et panova are pretty good in double but your country team is very good and are favorite for sure!!!the match almagro-petznchner/granollers-lopez(1.36)is a bit safer in my humble opinion!!!PS: hlavackova is cute!!!
