    2013 Tennis Picks

    This is a continuation of my tennis picks. I want to keep everything under one topic. My last thread was here:

    http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/tennis-bet...elections.html

    Each selection is 1 unit unless otherwise noted for easier record keeping.

    YTD: +15 units

    7/27/13
    4pm EST: J.Isner Games Won/L.Hewitt Games Won Over 24½ (-120)
    Every time Isner plays, 99.999% you're going to get a tiebreaker or two. In 2 matches this year, Hewitt has beaten Isner in 3 sets and this could be a similar outcome. 7-6, 6-7, 6-4.

    BOL to all!

    6pm EST: D.Cibulkova Games Won/S.Cirstea Games Won Over 21½ (-118)
    Both Cibulkova and Cirstea are playing well in the Bank of the West Classic. Talent wise, I think they're evenly matched. I look for a very close match and could go over in 2 sets: 7-5, 6-4.

    Betting Isner over is always common sense. I think it has hit in every match he's played so far in the 2013 US Open series.

    Thank you, John, for making gambling on your matches so simple ... especially of late.

    Isner's last 9 matches went over so sooner or later it's going to end. But the way he's playing, you have no choice but take the over. GL!

    Unless sportsbooks change the rule of a tennis match being official after the 1st set, I don't like to pick sides in tennis matches. In 2009, Carolina Wozniaki was up 7-5, 5-0 and she retired. She did because she was hurt and knew she couldn't play in the 2nd round so she wanted her opponent to advance. But she official lost that match and whoever bet on her also lost. That situation has happened to others so I try to stay away from picking sides or maybe just pick underdogs.

    But if I had to pick, the match is already over but Errani at -170 would've been too much for me. I would've taken a chance on Vinci but I figure it could be a close match so I took the over and lost that. That Stephens match is a toss up so you can flip a coin on that one and that's how that match is going. GL with the rest of your picks.

She did because she was hurt and knew she couldn't play in the 2nd round so she wanted her opponent to advance. But she official lost that match and whoever bet on her also lost. That situation has happened to others so I try to stay away from picking sides or maybe just pick underdogs.

    But if I had to pick, the match is already over but Errani at -170 would've been too much for me. I would've taken a chance on Vinci but I figure it could be a close match so I took the over and lost that. That Stephens match is a toss up so you can flip a coin on that one and that's how that match is going. GL with the rest of your picks.
    You know it varies from book to book? I get all unfinished bets void on Bet365 unless the outcome is unambiguous regardless of the result (for example +2.5 AH is won even if player retires 6-0 5-0, because even if he lost 6-0 5-7 0-6 the play would hit)
