    EP36's Racquet Abuse

    New season. New thread. Will track the profit margin all-year long with a separate log for Futures plays too. Could not think of a better title that embodies how we tennis bettors feel at many points during the year than RACQUET ABUSE. Picks coming soon for some of the Aussie tournaments.


    Ya feel me?

    Here is my betting "key" for anyone who travels along this path with me all season. This way you don't have to ask how much I am risking, etc. I don't ever play more than "to win one unit" on tennis. Flat betting for me is the only way that you can try to enjoy yourself in tennis.

    BOLD BLACK = Risking 0.5 unit on dogs/To Win 0.5 unit on favorites
    BOLD GOLD = Risking 1.0 units on dogs/To win 1.0 units on favorites

    Pospisil looks terrible so far. This Czech kid probably should have broken him this set.

    Winning two WTA matches to start the New Year is orgasmic.

    Got a preview up on the old blog for ATP Brisbane. Some quick hits from it. To find it, follow me @tennispig for tennis info and such.

    1st Round Upset Alert
    Duckworth over Simon
    Kokkinakis over Benneteau
    Groth/Hewitt over K.Anderson

    Futures
    Raonic +750
    Dimitrov +1000

    As you’d expect with the opening tournament for these players, there are going to be upsets. In 2014, two seeds dropped their first matches here and the semis saw the #1, #2, #8 and unseeded Hewitt. In 2013, two seeds again dropped their opening matches in Brisbane. The semis featured two unseeded players and the #1 and #5. Going back to 2012, two seeds again bit the dust in their first matches of the season. The semis that year featured the #1, #2, #3 & #8.

    Rumors are out that Cilic won't play the Aussie Open due to elbow injury.

    The Aussie dogs eh ? you know on a regular basis
    Julien Benneteau should wipe the floor with Kokkinakis.
    I've seen Kokkinakis struggle to put away ITF players.
    And Duckworth is a marginal talent.. against Gilles Simon ?
    If they have an advantage it's home court, home temps,
    whatever it may be.. but you wouldn't be taking them during
    the "regular season" on another continent, would you ?

    I think Kokkinakis is a future talent, only needs more reps against the big boys I think to grow his confidence. He's still green, but I think this is definitely a decent shot for him today.

    Too bad I wasn't more aggressive on the Duckworth pick with the straight up ML, but + money is still good money and a W is a W.

    Ah, Serena just needed some extra time on court, so she figured she'd gift Pennetta a set.

    Kudla 1st set was nice for me. Hope he finishes well for you. I'm on Klizan ML to close the night. Klizan should be able to dispatch Melzer.

    I wouldn't be shocked if Melzer won, tough match to call. Also gotta remind myself to start parlaying some of the +1.5 sets props instead of going for high chalk on outright MLs some times.
