**Tsonga** · 01-05-10, 01:12 PM

risking 300 on Kukushkin? Wow - looking good right now though.

**andrewaxia** · 01-05-10, 01:15 PM

He got the early break and gave it right back. Kukushkin playing extremely well early on.

**Tsonga** · 01-05-10, 01:37 PM

not looking good now for kuku...i have davy games -5.5 for a small play.

**Tsonga** · 01-05-10, 01:38 PM

kuku was blistering shots at the beginning...

**Tsonga** · 01-05-10, 02:15 PM

12 games in a row for davy - not a good investment of 300 bucks there andrewaxia.

**akerber** · 01-05-10, 02:19 PM

kuku needs to win 1 game each 9 to this bet be profitable. I beted kuku too. Today we lost, maybe next we win

Hoping Gulbis can finish it off and Karlovic come back.

Have more plays for this afternoon/night matches but need Karlovic or at least Gulbis to come through (I set aside a specific amount for each sports per tournament)

Do you take anyone's wager amount seriously on an internet forum?

I just dropped $50,000 with my local on Troy tonight, do you believe me?

**akerber** · 01-06-10, 12:57 PM

karlovic won 2nd set (lets go to win 3rd too).
gulbis is very good too.

lets cash this last two games, and keep winning rest the year.

Because 4 thousand is the same as 50,000....

I don't know why people would make up betting thousands on a game unless they did....if that was me and I had 5,000 to lose a tournament I would enjoy my money and bet a small amount for fun...

if anybody bet 5.000 in a game, this person have 200.000 or more. I know peoples betting 10.000$ or more each game. To me is a lot of money, but to another people 5.000 is a very small part of bankroll.

**andrewaxia** · 01-06-10, 01:33 PM

Gulbis and Karlovic come through...Take my postings for whatever you want them. You believe me? Fine. You don't? Well that's fine as well.

Flavia Pennetta -220 (AUCKLAND)
Risking $2,200 to win $1,000

Ana Ivanovic -160 (BRISBANE)
Risking $1,600 to win $1,000

**andrewaxia** · 01-06-10, 02:22 PM

Maria Kirilenko +143 (AUCKLAND)
Risking $1,000 to win $1,4300

I went back and forth between Kirilenko and Peer. Peer did not impress me in her first round match and I thought she would lose to Rybarikova last night, and won 1 and 0. Afterwords Rybarikova admitted she gave up because she couldn't concentrate from the Israeli protests outside the stadium. From all accounts they protesters are extremly loud, yesterday worse than day 1, and the leader say's today will be worse. I keep on thinking Peer will be affected by this sooner than later. Kirilenko was also playing on another court during the time of the protests and she said although she definitely heard the noise she tried extremely hard to keep her concentration. To me this match can go either way. But for me the high odds and the potential distractions for Peer make me take Kirilenko.

Night Session: 2-1
YTD: 28-15
Profit/Loss - $112.50

CHENNAI:
Kevin Kim +150
Risking 1,000 to win 1,500
Kim destroyed Sela in the US Open, and is a better hard court player. Odds are definitely a mistake in my opinion.

James Blake +112
Risking 1,000 to win 1,120

Rarely to I back James Blake, especially when favorite, but I am making an exception in this case mostly since he's an underdog, serving well this tournament, and Monfils shoulder is a real concern here.

**hedgejob** · 01-07-10, 04:30 AM

I'm on Blake too, Monfils said before his game with Serra he was feeling fatigued and then he had long 3 setter with him.

**andrewaxia** · 01-07-10, 08:21 AM

Typical Blake choke job after being up a set and a break. Rough morning

Morning: 0-2 (Pending)
YTD: 28-17
Profit/Loss - $2,112.50

Federer vs Gulbis - Total games
Over 19½ games -110
Risking $550 to win 500

Darcis vs Nadal - Total games
Over 18 games -110
Risking $550 to win 500

**andrewaxia** · 01-07-10, 12:57 PM

And I'm killing myself right now for not backing Gulbis +1.5 sets for +300 :-( Fed-Gulbis over cashes, Nadal is a push

Morning: 1-2
YTD: 29-17
Profit/Loss - $1,612.50

Waiting for Auckland semifinal lines to come out. Henin is -210 over Ivanovic @ Brisbane. I found that line extremely low considering Henin has a 4-0 record against the Serb and now Ivanovic is not as good as back then (although the Serb is playing well this tournament). I'm not playing that match yet still need to look at several other factors.

keep walking andrewaxia.

I am waiting more infos about henin´s game.

**andrewaxia** · 01-07-10, 01:45 PM

AUCKLAND:
Shahar Peer +170
Risking $1,000 to win $1,700
This line is a joke. Over the last 6 months on this surface Peer is 17-5 while Wickmayer is 12-6. The tournament stats between these 2 are dead even. Yes, Wickmayer hasn't dropped a set, but who has she played? Peer has battled the protests outside the courts the entire week and if they haven't bothered her now, they won't at all. I watched her matched yesterday and she played the entire time loose and with smiles. To me this is a dead even matchup with an EVER SO SLIGHT advantage to Wickmayer. I'll take my chances with the odds.

Justine Henin -220
Risking $2,200 to win $1,000
Henin was challenged last round but pulled through. Despite that her playing and stats are awesome this tournament. Ivanovic has reached a semifinal for the first time since Indian Wells last March and is playing full of confidence. This very well could be a typical WTA three-setter but the better player will come through at the end.

**andrewaxia** · 01-07-10, 05:45 PM

Shahar Peer +1½ sets -145
Risking $725 to win $500

**andrewaxia** · 01-07-10, 08:04 PM

Andrea Petkovic +6 games -120
Risk $600 to win $500

Petkovic-Clijsters
Over 18½ games -125
Risk $500 to win $500

Andrea Petkovic +1½ sets +280
Risk $300 to win $840

Andrea Petkovic +650
Risk $500 to win $3,250

All my available tennis balance is in risk with Peer/Henin/Petkovic matches

**andrewaxia** · 01-07-10, 09:19 PM

Late addition with Henin winning...

Tomas Berdych -350
Risking 3,200 to win 914.29

so I am assuming that you are dipping into your non-tennis pot since you have it tied up with the women's matches?

I agree with the pick on berdych.
