I wonder how much Hewitt's went down this weekend?

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-14-10, 11:47 AM

Blake time.

**JNic** · 06-14-10, 12:17 PM

you on blake? i jumped on him after the odds changed, the guy is about to be out of tour level tournies, hes gonna give it his all 5-4 so far. do you got a live stream for this?

**beefcake** · 06-14-10, 12:33 PM

here we go on the breaker..

**JNic** · 06-14-10, 12:49 PM

and the blake collapse, well it was a real gamble with the knee surgery

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-14-10, 03:33 PM

I had the under 23. Benneteau screwed that in the 2nd set. Idiot was up 3-1 and serving, if he holds it is a runaway 2nd set and finishes under. Instead, he gets broken and they get back on-serve. I did not take a side. Rarely do injured guys come back and win.

**bolekblues** · 06-14-10, 08:51 PM

Wow I had the same wager. Actually he still had break points (and match points) at 4-5 and if he wins it is a push. I am watching the result on live bet365 wagering and see that he won the game, then after a few moments that they are still playin. And of course he goes on to lose those chances and oddly as it could be he breaks Blake's serve anyway and wins 7-5. Complete joke.

TUESDAY

PARLAY: SCHUETTLER + MALISSE [+115]
Schuettler once again showed last week at the Queens Club that he is a threat on grass despite a poor season otherwise. Schuettler ran to the semis in London and faces a very inexperienced grass courter in Golubev who is just 5-10 on the surface in his career. Malisse is in a similar spot as he had a solid run last week at the Queens Club before dropping a QF match against Querrey. Malisse was solid on serve against Ram in his opener here in Holland and will need to do the same against Brands. Brands has just 11 matches of grass experience in his career. He had an easy time against a qualifier yesterday, but I would expect Malisse to provide a much stiffer test. If Malisse serves well again, he should move through.

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-14-10, 11:32 PM

Also futures for UNICEF Open in Holland:

Becker +800
Malisse +800
Troicki +800

Becker is the defending champ and has a nice draw I think. Robredo in the QFs maybe. Baghdatis potentially in the semis. Malisse & Troicki are in the top of the draw with #1 seed Ljubicic. Ljubicic's health still seems a major concern, so I side with the next best players in that part of the draw. Good odds here if any one of these three hit, you make money.

**beefcake** · 06-15-10, 12:08 AM

Nice reasoning...

**beefcake** · 06-15-10, 12:21 AM

I know its early before the draws are out,but If dementievas calf is Ok...shes 66-1 to win Wimbledon...The injury is the key,but dam good odds considering she made it to the semis last year..

**JuicedUp** · 06-15-10, 12:54 AM

...

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-15-10, 08:25 AM

Well Schuettler is home easy, but it appears Malisse is gonna bone this. Down a break already in the 3rd.

**newjerseydevils** · 06-15-10, 08:35 AM

yeah wouldnt call the malisse game over.....but it practically is over if he cant hold serve...not looking good.....i need a miracle comeback...i had the same parley

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-15-10, 08:41 AM

It's over. He had a chance a couple service games ago to break Brands, but could not do it. That was his last chance. Well it was either Malisse or Becker that I wanted to team with Schuettler today, chose the wrong one.

**newjerseydevils** · 06-15-10, 08:47 AM

Do or die now.....need a break here or else its done........yeah im still hoping unfortunately

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-15-10, 08:50 AM

Oh snap! Got the break son. Can Malisse consolidate now?! C'mon dude!

**newjerseydevils** · 06-15-10, 08:51 AM

YEAh.......eaglesphan..we got lucky there........im sure its gonna be all of nots actually....it always happens...malisse will tease us like this but then lose....he needs to hold serve now

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-15-10, 08:58 AM

He's got this.

**newjerseydevils** · 06-15-10, 08:59 AM

HAHAHAHAH WOW........WHAT a comeback by malisse.....WE GOT MAD LUCKY Eaglesphan....he needs to hold serve to win now..........

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-15-10, 09:00 AM

That is one of the better comeback wins I've been on the right side of in a bit. Glad we got this!

**UpsetSpecial09** · 06-15-10, 09:00 AM

Unreal comeback, nice call on the Parlay, I thought it was over too. Great WIN!!!

**beefcake** · 06-15-10, 09:01 AM

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

**beefcake** · 06-15-10, 09:02 AM

Mahut at -250...If it was only a little lower,Id put a straight bet on it,we need to find another side for the 2 teamer..

**newjerseydevils** · 06-15-10, 09:03 AM

YESSSSS WINNERRRRRRR!

**beefcake** · 06-15-10, 09:06 AM

Maybe koubek?

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-15-10, 09:08 AM

Yeah I was looking around Beefcake. I just don't see another great one to pair with it. Ljubicic is the closest, but I still question his health some. If the line was up last night, I might have just thrown it in with the two from this morning.

Koubek has an awful grass court record. I looked at him first too.

**beefcake** · 06-15-10, 09:18 AM

Was looking at womens QF...Thought paszek,then I realized her record is shite this year,her ranking is about the same as the begu chick.Maybe begu pulls of the upset..?
Back to the parlay..The over in falla/lubi?...Both players with pretty good serves on grass...

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-15-10, 09:20 AM

I might have a mental block on Falla because of Federer whipping his ass last week when I thought Falla was going to be competitive enough to cover the over. I decided just small potatoes: Ljubicic + Mahut. Pays +112 I think. If Ljubicic is healthy enough after some down time, he is a good player on this surface and won this tournament a few years ago.

**beefcake** · 06-15-10, 09:23 AM

Sounds good to me..

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-15-10, 09:24 AM

Tell you who else might be workable: Almagro. He hardly plays grass, but Kubot has zero confidence at this point in the season and has never won a main draw grass court match.

At the SBR book, did Almagro + Ljubicic for just under +100 for the payout. What the hell, they're only points.

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-15-10, 09:46 AM

Dogs barking BIG in Eastbourne. Ward going to beat Lopez who was I think around -770. Cirstea has Schiavone on the ropes. Think Cirstea was well over +300. Watson over Wozniak. Think Watson was well over +200. Rezai & Azarenka already cashed as solid dogs this morning too.

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-15-10, 10:48 AM

Ljubicic sucking the kawk in set #1. Not watching it, but by the numbers his serve is awful. Dick will probably retire after a set. At least the SBR book cancels that one.

**beefcake** · 06-15-10, 10:55 AM

Even mahut got broken..

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-15-10, 10:57 AM

Yeah he's getting walloped in the 1st. I thought he'd have to go 3. Bogdanovic isn't a total spaz on grass, he just hasn't beaten anyone worth a crap to-date. Expected experience to prevail.
