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.
    TB, I fully agree but wanted to give you a personal example of how your picks and this thread has affected me. I'm a successful NBA gambler but was down a few hundred dollars in Tennis betting before I started following your thread.

    I am $2000 richer thanks to tailing your picks (based on $50 -$60 units). I've also improved my tennis capping and made about $500 from my own plays, a swing of $2500.

    I certainly owe you a drink or three as well as my gratitude, I really can't thank you enough. Please don't let a couple of idiots ruin a great thing for the many people who appreciate what you do and you helping us all beat the bookies!

    If you do choose to go, thanks for all you've done and know you've helped make at least one person's life better! (and I'm sure many more)

      I'm sure that your record is legit and that you were actually putting all these bets in. But that doesn't make it an accurate record. You have to accept that you can't put up a record where you look like god and have half the forum sucking on your ballsack and expect no discourse. When people are posting never bet against Tennis Babe you have to agree it is time for them to be presented with a reality check.

      There is no problem keeping a record even with your crazy staking as long as it is clear and staking is not concealed. Come up with something similar to the following format:

      0.5-2 unit plays: (record)
      2.5-5 unit plays: (record)
      5.5-10 unit plays: (record)
      10.5+ unit plays: (record)

      Or use the star system and record results based on play strength. Whatever as long as it is an "honest" record.

      Or **** the haters and keep your original record. But then you are going to have to live with people calling it into question.

      Harden the fuk up and keep posting. The only people who actually want you to lose are dead broke.

        Did I miss it where he said he's going to stop posting? I thought he said he was just taking his record down and is no longer going to post bet sizes.

        Calm down people - it doesn't sound like he's going anywhere. You just may have to start looking into plays on your own and be responsible for your own bet sizes.

            He has claimed in the past that he would leave ie when the Red Sox lost and yet he's still here! My guess is that he's feeling frustrated and pissed off by the behaviour of a few posters on this forum yet will still be around come Day 1 of the Open.

              Man, 9000 SBR points is a lot, I hope TB won, cos it's enough to buy a new Ipad...

              Or - even better, you could order 57 domino's pizzas delivered for everyone who's posted in this thread over the last couple days...

                Seriously if you let other posters piss you off, grow some thicker skin. It's the INTERNET. Make your picks. Be happy when you win. Pissed when you lose and who the F cares what other people think. Any time people threaten to leave or say they're going to leave if this happens or that happens just makes things seem 10x more ridiculous than they actually are. I only speak for myself, but I don't give a F if someone is posting picks for 9000 SBR points, $9 or $10K ... if you pick winners and provide good stuff, you have a place here. Honestly in tennis, you oughta be making picks strictly on one base price anyway because making big wagers is a losing prop in this sport IMO. Don't let any one person ruin a thread ... no one is thay important.

                      How come you are the one calling out TennisBabe and his record? Not once or twice but repeatedly?

                      Is it just me and my bad English or do you feel like TB owes you (or this board) something/anything?

                      With the amount of dough I've made tailing this guy/gal I'd be the first person to be very upset if this thread discontinued. In gambling, you don't change anything that works.

                      Yes, it's the Internet. But what makes you think you can be an utter ass? The SBR PRO tag???

                      Unless one of the 'pros' tasks' is to make sure no consistent winner shares picks for free on this board, then please... just wish TennisBabe good luck and don't be ashamed to put some of your hard earned units on what is posted here. Enough of this p***s envy.

                      Haters =

                      Tennisbabe =

                      Let's have a great US Open.

                        And just my piece of advice - if you want to share a big bet that you're making in another sport, just do it in your thread here and keep it hidden away. You see the difference from the majority of the tennis regulars to the rest of the forum. We'll cheer your bet on and I promise you there won't be none of that nonsense you dealt with yesterday because I'll scare them away.

                          I would definitely dedicate some share of my tennis winnings to tail your 'other sports' (maybe 10%?). Those bets are fun to sweat but frequently detrimental to what an SBR Pro would call 'a bankroll'.

                          In these past few months I've been teaching myself to always put 20% more from my 'base stake' on tennis and 20% less on blackjack type sports such as baseball or heavy ML favorites you seem so fond of sometimes. I don't have a luxury of a high paying job to pay the bills so I focus on making the bookie pay. Your tennis plays have been making this mission possible.

                          p.s. ever thought of creating a separate alias for all the other plays? BaseballKid or HoopsChamp

                            Let's have a great US Open.
                            Why did I call out his record? Because cockstains like you tilted me into it. Some fag comes into a thread I've posted in after a massive Roddick choke and I have to hear that the legend was on the other side and I'm a mug for capping a game myself. If you noobs didn't poke me it probably wouldn't have come up. You asked a question and I gave you an answer. Everything I wrote was true but you're probably too daft to understand what I was talking about. No wonder the touting business is thriving.

                            Probably less that I lost on Roddick on that game. Thanks for the gambling advice. I always look to those who blindly tail others for help.

                            I wasn't in a good mood and I didn't like some comments that were thrown around. I don't pull any punches.

                            I have never posted anything negative in this thread. TB took down his record so I was just offering constructive advice. I wish him luck.

                            Haters gonna hate.

                            Tennis Babe is fine with me.

                            You're still a fag.

                                  Back to tennis folks...

                                  Quick predictions beginning with QFs on both sides:

                                  MENS
                                  Nalbandian over Nadal
                                  Berdych over Murray
                                  Roddick over Djokovic (this section wide open)
                                  Federer over Soderling (if they do end up meeting I might be on the other side pending what I see during the open)

                                  Nalbandian over Berdych
                                  Federer over Roddick (If Roddick does play Djoko he won't lose)

                                  Federer over Nalbandian

                                  Federer has a really easy draw here. He will meet Hewitt once again this year and I don't see the result being different. I would have loved to grab Melzer's future price but realistically I can't see him beating Fed.

                                  WOMENS
                                  Sharapova over Kuznetsova
                                  Zvonareva over Wickmayer
                                  Azarenka over Williams (as with Fed if they do meet I might be on the other side)
                                  Clijsters over Dementieva

                                  Sharapova over Zvonareva
                                  Azarenka over Clijsters

                                  Azarenka over Sharapova

                                  Alot depends on how healthy Sharapova is here. She also has a very difficult first round match

                                      I do think Davydenko can possibly make some noise in this tournament.

                                          I really think there is no chance at all that berdych can beat murray on fast hard courts in a best of 5

                                            yea i like the nalbandian run and everything, but murray should beat berdych here. i mean when the lines come out i wouldn't argue with berdych as a dog if the line was good enough

                                            i like the azarenka pick too, haha brad gilbert went with her, one of the first times i agreed with him

                                                        what is up with you morons, you cant take getting spoonfed winners. it doesnt matter how they come to you, when you get someone who picks winners, its easy, you BET them, dumbasses.

                                                        TB, i like your units, if its 1,2 10 or 30, dont care, I like to see which ones you like better.

                                                          Internet was down for over 30 hours! Finally back up. Going to post my card of the matches still left shortly.
