CHUD quits 1-4 down in the decider. Brutal buddy

**EaglesPhan36** · 10-06-10, 07:37 AM

Not quite as bad as when I had an over and Petrova quit one game shy, but still BS. Brands choked early on the parlay. Great start to the day.

**stomptheboard** · 10-06-10, 11:32 AM

when will novak match start?

**JNic** · 10-06-10, 11:48 AM

**beefcake** · 10-06-10, 12:05 PM

ATP TOKYO: TROICKI +125
Gut. Nut. Shut up.

**Brian891** · 10-06-10, 11:12 PM

Any fav parlays that r gold? Know juice is high but how do u feel bout woz and soderling?

**subs** · 10-06-10, 11:13 PM

good luck buddy

**Mikail** · 10-06-10, 11:14 PM

alright I'll bite. 1x on Troicki

**Shifty107** · 10-06-10, 11:54 PM

Im thinking of taking Ljubicic over Dolgo but haven't seen him play recently. How is his form lately EP?

**EaglesPhan36** · 10-07-10, 12:14 AM

Ljubicic has been shit for most of the year, but his serve was dominating against Youzhny. Dolgopolov is always a risk because of the fix factor. That being said, I don't know if I can pick a side there although I think in this case, Old Man River Ljubicic would be better to me for the price.

Wozniacki is hard to fade with how well she is playing, definite parlay material but I don't see another solid one to pair her with. Soderling I won't touch after last week's fiasco and he wasn't exactly solid vs. Robredo. Almagro is capable of an upset although his form is crap too.

WTA BEIJNG: PETROVA/SEVASTOVA OVER 20.5 [-130]
Draws Petrova who has been good this week, but capable of imploding. Sevastova has had a good run through qualis here this week and pulled off nice upsets against Stosur and Cibulkova, both in 3 sets. Not sure if she's capable of another "upset" but given her form and Petrova's always shaky psyche, the over seems like a decent shot.

**Brian891** · 10-07-10, 12:52 AM

Looking good on Troicki so far! U are a national treasure to newbie tennis bettors.

**Mikail** · 10-07-10, 01:47 AM

Troicki manages to blow a set lead by tanking the 2nd set and suffering an early break in the 3rd set. Unreal

**Mikail** · 10-07-10, 02:16 AM

Amazing comeback by Troicki wins the tiebreaker in the third set.

**Brian891** · 10-07-10, 02:20 AM

I stupidly took melzer. read another thread before i checked EP's thread. Thats what i get for following somebody who has about as much tennis knowledge as me! Congrats on the nice win EP!

**Rod1010** · 10-07-10, 03:28 AM

looks like a retirement inthe petrova match

**EaglesPhan36** · 10-07-10, 07:28 AM

Yeah walkover for Sevastova. Don't know if I will be on during the day today, internet at work was out all day yesterday so I am not expecting that they were smart enough to fix it overnight. If it's fixed, will definitely look over the Challenger slate for the afternoon. If not, be back later on this evening. Good luck today!

Making this stupid doubles play for shits & grins.

ERLICH-RAM +363
They draw the Bryans. It's just a dartboard shot for spite.

**EaglesPhan36** · 10-07-10, 01:33 PM

CHALLENGER PLAY: AGUILAR [-105]
Rain delays could happen here. Liking Aguilar who had a nice run in Uruguay last week. Machado is hit or miss and last week, he did retire from a match. He seemed okay in his opener and Aguilar continued to play well in his. Little better price on Aguilar who might be in better form right now.

**noober** · 10-07-10, 02:56 PM

do u know where can i find livescore from sacramento challenger? I am on Bogomolov.

**EaglesPhan36** · 10-07-10, 03:03 PM

Notes to self for later, these are not plays, just thoughts to help finalize plays.

Isner +139: Don't trust the Donkey.

Ferrer-Soderling o23: Great match of opposites, power vs. finesse/defense

G-Lopez +120: Troicki won on smoke and mirrors yesterday, GGL in superb form.

Stepanek-Nieminen o23 or Nieminen +112: Not impressed with Stepanek this week.

Schiavone +220 or o20.5: Funny that three straight meetings with Zvonareva have been in Beijing. Ver has dominated the head-2-head, but the Spidey Sense is out.

**jojo85** · 10-07-10, 04:04 PM

EP, Nieminen is not fully healthy according to his blog. Might be something to think about before putting anything on him.

**EaglesPhan36** · 10-07-10, 04:34 PM

Thanks for the heads up, will nix both of those form further consideration then.

I read something similar as well. Might be a good time to back Stepanek

**EaglesPhan36** · 10-07-10, 09:11 PM

Took all day, but Aguilar wins in straights 7-6, 7-6!

**EaglesPhan36** · 10-07-10, 09:20 PM

Read Jarkko's blog. Won't back him with the illness issue, but I am thinking that since he skipped doubles and has had a day of rest, perhaps he will be good enough to compete against a shaky Stepanek. I can't back that putz as a favorite based on what I've seen this week. Most of the totals I have played have led to retirements or walkovers this week, let's try another.

STEPANEK-NIEMINEN OVER 23 [-114]

**EaglesPhan36** · 10-07-10, 09:24 PM

DJOKOVIC-SIMON OVER 21.5 [-125]
Simon will force Djokovic to be consistent and accurate as is his custom. Djokovic getting a walkover against Fish might benefit Simon early as he has more match play under his belt than the Serb recently. Simon worked hard in both matches so far and this will be no different. His serve was stellar against Berrer, but will be up against a much better returner here. If Simon can repeat some of that serve, he should be in this match and he has a history of pushing Djokovic pretty well in their matches.

**EaglesPhan36** · 10-07-10, 09:38 PM

SCHIAVONE +220
Nothing points to a Schiavone victory, does it? Zvonareva is 9-0 vs. here all-time. She's beaten her three straight times on hard courts IN CHINA no less. However, this is a Schiavone full of confidence who is also headed to the year-end event by residing in the Top 8. All streaks come to an end eventually and perhaps the mob is ready to make some cash on this one.

**Wilforth** · 10-07-10, 09:56 PM

BOL on Schiavone. If I tail you, she'll lose in a tie-breaker.

**pavyracer** · 10-07-10, 10:00 PM

I think Zvoraneva beat her 10 times in a row. Not sure is Sciavone is mentally prepared to face the russian rocket.

**EaglesPhan36** · 10-07-10, 10:01 PM

Nix that 1st total, no longer on my book for some reason so no play for me.

**pavyracer** · 10-07-10, 10:06 PM

Niemenen is sick. It should be a walkover for Stepanek.

Be careful with such conclusions. Just my 2 cents.

**beefcake** · 10-07-10, 10:10 PM

Saw the lubi line vs murray...+450???? I mean dam that line is out of whack..Old mans serve is humming here...

**EaglesPhan36** · 10-07-10, 10:12 PM

Time to chill then before Skeeeuhphoney takes the court in about 48 minutes. Be back then.
