    BIGGEST PLAY OF CAREER ON Karlovic

    46325649-12/28/10 2:09pm$1,750.00$1,000.00
    Pending2/28/10 3:00pm ATP Tennis 302 Ivo Karlovic -175* vs Ernests Gulbis
    This is the biggest single play of my career I have backed Karlovic all the way thru to the finals and he has profited me around 1k so far in this tournament. Looking for him and his serve to roll again today.

    Lets follow the match in here beginning around 3pm eastern. This is a once in a YEAR play for me. My Play of the weeks are normally $300-$500 and my play of the month may reach $600 but to risk $1,750 is something i havent done since January 2009. Hope this cashes... if not it will be a very tough loss or a very amazing weekend if we win.

    wow i absolutely love this pick, i really think gulbis will have like 4 automatic holds in a row then all of a sudden he cant handle the pressure on one game and karlovic will snag a set.

    It's on the tennis channel so that will be nice. Figured I was gonna have to watch online. Instead it's in HD baby! They warming up now.

    Gulbis just broke Ivo. I don't like the way this is looking. Gulbis looked really shaky at first but now it's Ivo that looks shaky.

    Gulbis just broke him again. Gulbis is rolling Ivo right now. The match is over. I knew better than to bet this much.

    Ouch. Don't think I have nor will ever put that much on a tennis match no matter the situation. Hope Ivo turns it around in the 2nd for you.

    I hope that live play was a small amount. Never a good idea to add to your original amount when things are going south. Earn it back next week.

    WOW... sorry guys that was the worst bet i could have ever made i guess.... all the stats pointed to Karlovic but the play did not. My apologies and my bankroll takes a nice hit.

    Sorry to see it...I hate karlovic as well, but was on gulbis today. When gulbis puts his mind to a match, he can really compete. Karlovic has thee worst ground game of anyone in the top 100 if you ask me. If Gulbis does not self destruct, he can win most matches. He obviously decided not to self distruct for any extended periods of time this tournament.
