TennisBabe's '10 Picks

**TennisBabe** · 08-14-10, 12:35 PM

Ivanovic retired due to injury.

I don't bet on who "I like". If that was the case I would have bet Chardy and Berdych (I HATE Djokovic) Nadal is by far the best player on tour. HOWEVER Murray's best surface is hard court. Anyone who has watched Nadal struggle in each of his first three matches this tournament is crazy to bet -150 or even -160 on him.

Noob question: Is Andy Murray +1.5 the same as Nadal NOT to win 2-0?
Thank you in advance

**TennisBabe** · 08-14-10, 12:38 PM

Yes that is correct

**RiverRaid** · 08-14-10, 01:09 PM

I like Murray against Nadal today. GL to us.

**Mirar Baseball** · 08-14-10, 01:40 PM

We got action!!!!

TB, quick question. I use a book that allows to bet several specials, like first set handicap and total. I want your opinion on what's the likelihood of this match having at least one tiebreak. your Murray +1.5 sets bet implies you consider Nadal 2-1 win somewhat likely... and in a three set match a tiebreak is more likely than in a blow out - obviously.

So would you say it's a 50-50 proposition (tie break yes/no)?

Good luck today, I hope you continue to be lights out!

**Mirar Baseball** · 08-14-10, 03:28 PM

Forget the tiebreak!

GO ANDREW!!!!!!!!!!! JUST DO WHAT YOU DO... ANOTHER 30 MINUTES... STAY SOLID!!!

**TennisBabe** · 08-14-10, 03:29 PM

Large play on Federer-Djokovic to come by 6pm ET. I have a prior committment to attend and won't be around for the match which might be a good thing for my stomach

Nadal played good tennis. Murray is just the better player on this surface

Woot woot!

LOL I appreciate the points. I've actually been putting them in "good" use this week, instead of blowing them on 10 team parlays I've been using them on the plays I play here. With this Murray win I am at 1,200 or something close to that.

Too bad SBR only limits you to risk 500

**TopGun1** · 08-14-10, 04:14 PM

Great stuff TB, up 7 units thanks to you. Winged some points your way as a (very) small token of my appreciation

Also thought I'd hedge myself out of my Nadal future, so even better.

**Shifty107** · 08-14-10, 04:34 PM

Great win there TB.

Smack your bookie till he loves it.

**limitation** · 08-14-10, 05:03 PM

Murray is hard to figure out. I had money on him awhile ago and he lost to freaking Sam Querry. Then, today I decided to stay away in this game, Murray became Superman to beat Nadal. How the hell he lost to Querry then beat Nadal?

**TennisBabe** · 08-14-10, 05:08 PM

He played too passive against Querrey. He played aggressive today, stepped in on the 2nd serve and managed most of the rallies.

**bdevil** · 08-14-10, 05:18 PM

True TB. 2nd serve of Nadal was awful and not so efficient as it used to be. If you have noticed everytime Murray did a step in front returning the 2nd serve with much more speed, putting pressure on Nadal. Also he worked a little mental on Nadal. When Murray was about to lose his serve game in the 2nd set, he decided to stop a little, went to the bench and changed his wrist bands. He finally saved the game and Nadal couldn't win from behind.

**TennisBabe** · 08-14-10, 05:26 PM

NIGHT PLAY
Roger Federer -145
Risk 7.25 to win 5.00

Roger Federer -1.5 sets (in other words to in 2-0)
Risk 5.00 to win 9.00

I'm being aggressive here with my big Murray cash. Play as you see fit.

**lasker** · 08-14-10, 05:31 PM

Glad to see I'm on the same side as you, TB. I hit Murray 2 sets to nil earlier today, and I also have it parlayed with a Federer win. Let's cash this!

**blackbeSSt** · 08-14-10, 05:39 PM

lets do dis tonight TB

jw · 08-14-10, 05:41 PM

Good Luck

**TennisBabe** · 08-14-10, 05:45 PM

I'll be back around 9pm ET tonight. Hopefully the match is over by then

Although thunderstorms are in the forecast

**ukbsktbll** · 08-14-10, 05:51 PM

How do you feel about fed parlaying w the Bryans?

**blackbeSSt** · 08-14-10, 06:20 PM

If that piece of crap does, I swear I'm going to find someone to take him out at the knees. He's blowing my over right now but I'd rather see him lose like a decent human being than like the messed up hypochondriac that he is.
