TennisBabe's '10 Picks

[shari91]

Not sure why I did it to myself yet again and put Sharapova in a parlay. Nothing comes easy with her anymore when I've backed her.

[TennisBabe]

I was tempted to play Barrois but backed off this morning. When she was serving for the set I was rooting hard for Sharapova to break. I hate it when big dogs that I wanted to play end up winning

I'm honestly not sure what possessed me to take her. Normally I run the other way from any match she's involved in. And really I'd much rather Barrois win than her. Can't stand the girl. After this, I'm done with her. Win or lose. I feel like a part of my soul is dying by cheering her on.

[TennisBabe]

1 set down 1 to go

[shari91]

Wow. The crazy Russki closed it out. And Gasquet!!! I've been ignoring this one until the wingnut finished. I so hope he can pull this off!

[TennisBabe]

Gasquet serving for the match, and first title in 3 years.

[TennisBabe]

Choking for Gasquet never changes

[shari91]

Choking for Gasquet never changes

No, no, no. He just wanted me to get my over, Gasquet 2-1 and 3 sets bets. Now he's going to finish it off.

[EmpireMaker]

Gasquet won

[TennisBabe]

Very entertaining match. Counting down the hours to the French!

FRENCH OPEN FUTURES

Mens: T. Berdych +20000
Womens: J. Henin +230

Note: My women's future bet is who I think will win. My men's is based more on value. No doubt in my mind Nadal wins this. So I took a big value bet from the other half of the draw. It was either Tsonga or Berdych and I went with the much higher value.

[EmpireMaker]

Womens: J. Henin +230 Like this a lot !!!

[EmpireMaker]

I'll take Robredo +15000 for my longshot possibility

[noober]

Womens: J. Henin +230 Like this a lot !!!

Henin is very overvalued at that price. She will most likely play Sharapova, Stosur, Serana Williams and then three other macthes. You will be much better if you bet her to win the first match and then use the cumulative winnings to bet her each game. You should be able to get approximately +500 this way.

[Checkerboard]

bon chance tout le monde!

[Checkerboard]

odds for Nadal to win every set in tournament are at +290 @ 5d's

[BET THE HOOK]

Tomorrow looks like an all chalk day. I see no possible upsets except for maybe Patty Schnyder over Williams if I had to choose one but its not likely.

[bass7]

what are the chances that wozniacki loses due to retirement? are bets under her returned if it happens? (she retired at the warsaw tourney but not sure if it was due to injury)

[VOJVODINA]

maybe

Shari did I influence you to take Sharapova???

Kinda scary... but winner winner chicken dinner!!

I had her, took her out and then remembered you had her as well so I threw her back in. She's a yo-yo that one. Sorry about Carlton. Can't believe how badly they played today. Terrible. I felt so badly because of your parlay after.

Best of luck TB and everyone else in here!! This is by far my favourite tournament - so excited for it to just start already.

[colout]

Good luck today TB

[Mirar Baseball]

The Grand Slam is back !!!!

[VOJVODINA]

l like RG

[TennisBabe]

I also think Cirstea will give Kuznetsova a tough match

[Tommy_de1st]

BOL guys
I like Tipsarevic and Azarenka very much, gonna parlay em

[TennisBabe]

I have a feeling I'll be sweating that Azarenka bet

[shari91]

I haven't been able to bring myself to place it yet, but I'm quite confident she'll get it done for you. Probably won't be the easiest match of her life though. And at least you're on Fognini! I'm on bloody Massu although he's starting to look a bit better now. What a first set.

[Munjoz]

Good luck today dude

[shari91]

Yeah, someone definitely knew something. Goat said he went from something like -150 to +150 in an hour. No one should be laying that much on this match out of all them right now unless there's inside info somewhere.

[noober]

It was public information that Tipsarevic had a viral infection and his French Open appearance was in doubt. Not sure if there is anything else that caused the line movement.
