TennisBabe's '10 Picks

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-27-10, 02:32 PM

Odds on de Bakker dropped a lot yesterday too. Line movement in tennis isn't always an accurate indicator of anything other than cash moving lines.

**Mikail** · 08-27-10, 02:33 PM

Stakhovsky return game much better than De Bakker so far.

**thunderingherd23** · 08-27-10, 02:33 PM

where are all of these De Bakker aces coming from all of a sudden?

**nicsbr** · 08-27-10, 02:40 PM

**lovetobet** · 08-27-10, 02:41 PM

Nice call on Petrova.

The line movement definitely wasn't the result of anything fishy going on here. If so, they're putting on a damn good show considering how many looks at his 2nd serve Stak's giving deBakker. He's just not capitalising on them and he can't win his own 2nd serve points. Not good.

TB - again, thank you for the Petrova pick! Tailed for 10 units myself and what a great start to the weekend.

Dropped you some SBR pts

**TennisBabe** · 08-27-10, 04:32 PM

Appreciate them!

Btw, nice chicas in your Avy

**TennisBabe** · 08-28-10, 11:25 AM

Maybe a play in the mens final. Not sure yet.

**MUHerd37** · 08-28-10, 01:06 PM

How about Polansky, Mahut, and Amanmuradova? Dancevic vs Nishikori and Ito vs Kendrick look interesting. Any thoughts?

**ankh4all2** · 08-28-10, 03:24 PM

TB,
What happened to your record Signature?
Thnx for the pix!

**TennisBabe** · 08-28-10, 04:44 PM

No point in keeping records anymore. Also beginning with the US Open I'm just going to be listing my plays - no units/$ involved.

That's a shame ...

.. always liked the extra danger of tailing one of your 10 point plays

Good luck with your new format.

**TopGun1** · 08-28-10, 04:55 PM

TB, of course it's totally up to you, but I for one would really appreciate it if you could keep posting the number of units you're wagering each time...

In recent times (as you know) you've had an extraordinary high success rate with your big plays, to name just a few, Kohly, Murray (twice), Fish (twice) and Petrova most recently.

Tailing these big plays has been really great, I hope you can still carry on posting your units as for those TB fans/followers like myself, knowing how confident you are on a play is really important.

In any case, thank you for all your picks - it really is much appreciated, my bankroll is significantly better off thanks to you

yeah thats gonna suck. i don't know enough about tennis to know if a pick is a $1000 play or $100 play or a $50 play in my case

I think it's a bad idea TB. How is one to know how strong a play it is your posting? People who follow you will want to know this.

**speedy** · 08-28-10, 05:21 PM

TB ur so talented at handicappin the sport. When going 1-1 other day, winning the big play,losing the little. not all plays are even........reconsider

Heh, yeah, left to myself I could have put the 10 units on Debakker and only 1 on petrova, being down 9 units instead of up 9. That's what I'm worried about!

**keijo32** · 08-28-10, 05:32 PM

Tb keep the units

**Tommy_de1st** · 08-28-10, 05:44 PM

TennisBabe
some questioned your bets and asked you to provide screenshots, so what? Give them nothing. I don't care if your unit is $1 or $1000. Im just wondering why most people want some proof that you really bet such ammounts.

Reconsider keeping your record

I concur, presenting units is critical.
Proving to a jerkoff poster what you bet matters nothing at all! No response needed, period.

TB, thnx again!

**blackbeSSt** · 08-28-10, 06:58 PM

well it looks like we are going 3 sets. depending on the live numbers, who's got the better game going?

You know what's funny. That bet was 100% correct and legit and there's no point in defending it right now, nor do I have the time. I've made it no secret that I am a high risk player and at times I'm the first to admit a bit careless and bet on emotion. That's just who I am and I have learned to live with it. If people think it's a fake bet that's just fine with me. This board is filled with nothing else than members looking for other members to fail, and that is sad. At this point I am forcing myself to log on. I made a decision today that at least for the near future I'm sticking to the tennis board and that's all. I know a lot of you follow this thread and my plays, and as I've stated many times it's us against the books. I started the day with 10,000 and I've been very reckless with my points (risked 9,000 today), with the idea that if I lost all the points I'm done with this board for good. If I do end the units I'll probably use a star system ratings players from 1-5 or something similar. I'll decide on Monday.

Agreed ... I've lost count of the number of excellent cappers that have been run-off the forum in the past few weeks/months by the one or two ass-wipes that can't take the fact that someone is able to consistently pick winners ... half of me suspects they are screen names created by bookies to drive away the good guys and stop them posting winners.

I wish SBR would come up with a way for the more successful cappers to moderate their own threads ... but of course having consistent winners on the forums is not in the best interests of SBR or its sponsors ....

... things that make you go hmnnn ...

Some of us value your picks & want you to succeed so if it means giving up my points for you to stay, I'm in. Anything to keep good cappers in this forum.

I was watching (more like sweating) out the Lions game lol. I put on the match at 7:20 and saw Istomin up 2-0. I just checked the scoreboard since you mentioned it and see it's in the third set all tied. I didn't put much thought into it since I knew I probably wouldn't have watched so I'm definitely not touching the match at this point

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-28-10, 08:01 PM

I quit keeping records in tennis a long time ago. People who have been on SBR long enough already have their minds made up on who they like or dislike in following on picks, etc. I think we're all served better by just sharing information and picks. That's all I hope to do is provide my mindsight on picks and let people choose to do what they want on their own. If people want to nit pick at records and units won-loss that's their problem. Bottom line is we should just be focused on one thing, picking WINNERS. US Open, here we come. GL in the coming weeks.

I agree. I think people need to start taking a little more responsibility for their gambling and capping. If you want to bet a sport, put some effort in and figure out the plays you like on your own. Then come to the forum and see what others think about it. No one is going to be on the forum forever giving out plays so you'd think people would want to have the tools to make them on their own. I've never understood that.

Just do what you want TB. Unless you're planning on turning tout, there's no reason why you should feel the need to do anything other than share your plays and discuss them once in awhile. Best of luck.

**Goat Milk** · 08-28-10, 08:19 PM

I have been through the same thing you went through, when NBA season was here. We are good at what we do so there will always be people that try and provoke something and stir up some hate. That's the way it is.

I don't post my plays for people to follow and you shouldn't either. My plays are posted for myself and to discuss with the good cappers here (and I know who the main tennis cappers are here--not the ones that come in for a month a post a few plays and think they are the shit after they hit a few).

During the NBA playoffs, I was doing these writeups TB. I'm not talking about ESPN writeups from Skip Bayle or anyone. I'm talking about coaches' gameplans that I had mapped out and every matchup/play diagnosed, accurate projections of rotations, etc. The NBA finals I did a writeup for the board (i had been taking notes/watching film since the 08 finals ended because I knew there would be a rematch at some point). I shared that with the board, and only a few people were thankful for it. Fukkin pitiful. you talk about people wanting you to fail. When I started a thread, people were in their praying that I failed. People bitch when they gets 1 hater and the rest sucking their dick, niggga i had everyone hoping I failed. But I just won, and they all got silent.

People on this site wouldn't know something valuable if it hit them in the face. They'll just go to the thread with the most views and follow the plays like the little minions they are, then if you lose, they'll hop to the next guy.

Just keep doing your thing man, ignore pepole that don't have anything positive to say. This tennis forum is great, I love discussing with you Shari Rogue EP Beef JNic Staco, there's a lot of valuable resources/cappers here. I've been capping tennis for years and I still am always learning by discussing with you guys. Lets just hope it doesn't get flooded during the U.S. Open.
