Soda popped Murray like a zit.

**beefcake** · 03-19-10, 11:54 PM

yes janko seems to have found a groove,its going to be 21.5 i think vs wozi..

**cappinthepigs** · 03-20-10, 07:31 AM

Looking good!

**EaglesPhan36** · 03-20-10, 12:49 PM

I THINK I like the OVER at 21.5 between Nadal and Ljubicic. So long as Ljubicic maintains a good serve, I THINK this cashes. I THINK Roddick and Soderling is going to be a good one. Even at 23.5, I THINK I'd lean to the OVER as they've played four sets head-2-head with three of them going to a tie break. Hard to pick a winner though. Hedge on Roddick at plus money if you have Soderling outright to win the tournament I THINK.

**EaglesPhan36** · 03-20-10, 03:44 PM

Over cashes in the Nadal match as Ljubicic evens it at a set a piece. Woot.

**MUHerd37** · 03-20-10, 03:52 PM

Nadal just sucking right now. Getting broken to open up the 3rd set is no good. Seems like Ljubicic is inconsistent when I bet on him so I took the Nadal ML. Looked like easy money after the 1st set. Not looking so good now.

**michalis** · 03-20-10, 03:55 PM

I love ljubicic as a person and i respect him, I like when he wins but does it have to be today that i bet against him? dang

**MUHerd37** · 03-20-10, 04:44 PM

Nadal choked this match away. Lost 2 straight points in the tiebreak on his own serve!!! WTF???

**MUHerd37** · 03-20-10, 04:53 PM

On the bright side, this makes tomorrow easier to bet. Whoever over Ljubicic.

**EaglesPhan36** · 03-20-10, 07:19 PM

This tournament was a pre-cursor to the NCAAs, eh? Upsets everywhere. OVERs worked nicely today.

**EaglesPhan36** · 03-21-10, 11:04 AM

I THINK for Sunday, you should look down to the Challenger Level. Florian Mayer vs. Gilles Simon at the BMW Open in Sunrise, FL. Simon may be refinding himself here at a tournament known for catapulting players back into contention. Soderling won this last year. Monfils a couple years ago. Big names have a habit of winning here. Mayer has played the tougher opponents this week, but Simon may be healthy and more importantly sounds confident. I THINK at -155, Simon might be a decent shot today.

**EaglesPhan36** · 03-21-10, 04:00 PM

Simon still sucks. Glad I waited and got it at -125 and went small. Had this guy on my fade list and decided to take him off. Back on you go mutha trucka. 6-4, 6-4 loser.

**loyd** · 03-22-10, 12:28 AM

the first 3 tennis players in the world have been kicked already. federer, nadal and djokovic. no one of them was in the final.

**beefcake** · 03-22-10, 09:08 AM

lots of qualies today Ep in miami,what do you think..sometimes gems can be found here..

I think dev Varman is a pretty good shot to beat guez,big juice,so maybe throw it into a parlay with young?

**Boner_18** · 03-22-10, 09:26 AM

I would be wary of Young...

**EaglesPhan36** · 03-22-10, 10:03 AM

Big chalk, but I took Ouanna at -215 over Levy. He beat him just a few weeks back. He's pretty solid on hard courts. Gotta look at the others, but that is the only that stuck out this morning whenever the rain stops.

**ringemup** · 03-22-10, 12:56 PM

alves +135 vs odesnik likin this

**EaglesPhan36** · 03-22-10, 02:43 PM

Ouanna lost. That's what I get for bettin' qualis straight up. Oh well.

**EaglesPhan36** · 03-23-10, 08:21 AM

I THINK today I like Kevin Kim at plus odds. I THINK Donald Young at plus odds is also not a bad shot against an inconsistent Malisse.

**Boner_18** · 03-23-10, 08:41 AM

Sticking with Schuettler based on recent form... Though with these "old" guys the form can change overnight. I am also looking at Alves as a large dog vs. Sweeting...

**EaglesPhan36** · 03-23-10, 09:47 AM

Santiago Giraldo at -140 might be good to use with something today. In a revenge spot and he's in good form from Sunrise last week.

**Boner_18** · 03-23-10, 09:53 AM

Agree on Giraldo, same reasoning.

**EaglesPhan36** · 03-23-10, 10:29 AM

Glad I skipped D.Young. Bitch got rolled. He's just a head case from match to match.

**EaglesPhan36** · 03-23-10, 10:30 AM

This has nothing to do with nothing, but I noticed Ashley Harkleroad is actual in a tournament!

Her Playboy photos were solid.

**EaglesPhan36** · 03-23-10, 11:58 AM

Kim loses in 3 sets. It was a WTA quality 3rd set with lots of breaks. Kim got up a break at 4-3 and choked it right back. Oh well, not a bad time for a plus money play.

**Boner_18** · 03-23-10, 12:54 PM

The whole match they traded breaks. I was thinking the same thing, looks like WTA. Just dipping into the main draw matchups right now, looking forward to your insight.

**EaglesPhan36** · 03-23-10, 04:35 PM

Did not realize Harkleroad hadn't played in almost two years. Good thing she's hot.

what do you mean were? what did you do with them

**EaglesPhan36** · 03-24-10, 08:35 AM

Things I THINK I Know ... Wednesday, March 24th

I THINK I cannot believe Ancic is favored over Chardy. I THINK it will be a fun match to watch, but I THINK I won't be betting on it.

I THINK Lukasz Kubot at +190 over David Nalbandian is about as good a bargain as you will find today. Nalbandian hasn't been able to consistently put it together this year and Kubot is a guy who looks like he is going to be a pretty consistent threat now.

I THINK anyone who thinks Andreev at plus money is something to look at today should have their head examined. There's a reason he's a DOG.

I THINK it will be interesting to see if Guillermo Garcia-Lopez sucker punches people's wallets today. He looks like a clear cut favorite against Clement after GGL's Indian Wells run, but I do remind you that GGL was 0-5 in 2010 before that event. I THINK that might shape up to be a WTA match with lots of breaks and uneven sets. The total at 23 suggests the books aren't too certain, even though the juice favors the UNDER.

**EaglesPhan36** · 03-24-10, 08:41 AM

I THINK on the WTA side in Miami, give me the OVER [19] with Pivovarova/Suarez-Navarro to start the morning.

Also gimme $10 on Pivovarova at +478.

**EaglesPhan36** · 03-24-10, 10:59 AM

WTA Over hits. Yay.

**beefcake** · 03-24-10, 11:17 AM

when does jankovic play next?

**EaglesPhan36** · 03-24-10, 11:24 AM

I think she's got a bye into the next round, so tomorrow or Friday maybe - not sure. Will be interested to see the match-up and the number as her totals should be back in the 20-20.5 range after he run last week I would think.

**EaglesPhan36** · 03-24-10, 12:30 PM

I THINK the more I look, the more I THINK I like Taylor Dent. He likes this tournament and seems to play well no matter what his form was leading up. Looking at last year's as evidence of that. Schuettler served like a punk ass against Kim in his last quali, so if Dent brings the thunder, I THINK he wins.

**EaglesPhan36** · 03-24-10, 07:36 PM

Oudin O/U at 21 [+100]. She's one too that may go either way from match to match. Shot on the over. Oudin has been inconsistent this season and Krajicek has a pair of quali wins here. If Krajicek gets off to a good start, she could take a set.
