Shari's tennis plays

**Tsonga** · 08-09-10, 10:51 PM

turned 5 sbr points into 30 thanks to my fellow Canadian Polansky...now if Querrey and Marchenko hit i will get 135 more sbr points from the round robin pick of those 3.

Well, you know Hanescu better than I

but I'd say we weren't silly to fade him in that spot. Obviously after the fact, yeah, since our money is gone but he has a terrible record on hard courts and is notoriously dodgy. Plus Raonic is actually decent. And considering he's ranked 217 and was playing at home, he did really well to only lose 6-4 6-4.

I think I'm more pissed about Falla because of how many other people's bets he screwed. For me, he only messed up a small parlay with Rezai who ended up losing in 3 anyway but it seems he nailed a lot of people on here. It looks like Melzer did the same thing although I'm thankful I didn't touch that match. Still disappointed I left Nicolescu and Aman alone though. Need to just go with my own thoughts and gut and stop worrying about what others say.

true, true, not true(Raonic is terrible haha)

well said though shari

I admit I may be a little bit biased considering where he's from. But bloody hell, I have to puff up these Canadian tennis guys as much as possible. We scrape the bottom of the barrel there.

Just had my ban lifted. These were my plays today. Shari you are a hard person to get in touch with.

Simon only loss. Man, it looks like a lot of people were on Falla I am checking out the threads now. Sorry guys I really thought Falla would get through as well. Shari will have a monster day tomorrow, no worries.

**Goat Milk** · 08-10-10, 12:24 AM

Shari if you want to discuss tomorrow meet me in chat now. I will be there for a little, then gonna hit 1 and pass out. Still no PMs for me.

**mav924** · 08-10-10, 12:28 AM

good luck today shari

**nulldah** · 08-10-10, 01:23 AM

I guess aside from Falla and Melzer upset, the real upset for me, even though I dont touch the match at all because of odds, is azarenka v ivanovic

The choking is bigger than Kuznetsova yesterday. And if I'm not putting the name and you don't check the score, many will probably said the one who choked was ana?

But, it's azarenka. I check the score for a moment in 2nd set, Azarenka a break ahead and almost second break, later I check, ivanovic leading 4-2 and won 6-2. Unreal. Is this the comeback of Ivanovic? A part of me still dont think so

**papitopapita** · 08-10-10, 04:09 AM

i lol'd at the melzer upset. -800 guy losing. i really have lost my confidence in tennis faves got burned way too many times.

**shari91** · 08-10-10, 04:54 AM

Today I'm still going small but am going to have a few more plays than yesterday. My book still doesn't have handicaps or totals posted so I'm going to go with these to start. And screw the favourites!!

Amanmuradova -103

Zheng +225

Bammer +142

Fognini +142

**PetrGasparik** · 08-10-10, 05:09 AM

I'm on. Except for Fognini. I don't bet against Czechs

I did and when I lost, I knew I shouldn't do that

Well, for the first time yesterday in I don't know how long, I took favourites and put them in a few parlays. The parlays lost except for one and one parlay, Falla/Rezai, both players lost. Another, King/Morita, King lost after winning the first set and getting demolished in the 3rd 6-1.

I learned my lesson by trying to play 'safe' to help out the guys who peek in my thread. No friggin more. I'm sticking with what's always worked for me - go for value and avoid the favs for the most part. It makes me money and I'm not left shaking my head afterwards even if a bet of mine loses.

I agree totally shari.....favs dont always win and the books dont know shit for the most part about tennis.

go with who you think will win no matter the odds

It's open at mine but the price on Vesnina went up to $1.70 from $1.65 when I was confirming earlier so I'm waiting to see what's going on.

**jjgold** · 08-10-10, 05:31 AM

My plays are solid, I do not post tons of picks either
No clue with about that wild remark Shari made

No clue my ass.

I think the play is good as well and was going to bet it earlier with my other picks but I don't like the fact the price jumped from the time I clicked it to the time I went to confirm. It wouldn't be Yanks dumping on Oudin as it's too early for that so I'm going to check out what's happening on BetFair first.

**Tommy_de1st** · 08-10-10, 05:36 AM

Sahri, do you play any parlays?

**shari91** · 08-10-10, 05:39 AM

Yeah, but I'm trying to stay away from them. The ones I played yesterday pissed me off.

I may do a larger one and just play it round robin so even if someone loses, the rest of it is still alive.

JJ are you really interested in tennis and do you know players?

Or you just pick someone who you think will win?

hmmmm interesting shari

**shari91** · 08-10-10, 05:43 AM

Well, only $7k traded at Betfair so I'm going to lock in Vesnina at $1.70 and cross my fingers that it was just one larger bet on Oudin hitting my book.

**Tommy_de1st** · 08-10-10, 05:50 AM

Shari, do you like Malisse? I want to parlay him

**shari91** · 08-10-10, 05:59 AM

The only thing that worries me about Malisse is that this will be his 4th week in a row of tennis, obviously going far last week, and I didn't like his stats at all after Baggy's injury timeout in their match. Also, someone on another site mentioned he has a sore foot but I can't find where they pulled that info from yet.

**danller** · 08-10-10, 06:16 AM

How big Are you going on vesnina shari?

**Tommy_de1st** · 08-10-10, 06:33 AM

My parlay: Vesnina+Malisse+Cirstea+ soccer Carling Cup (Doncaster+Swansea)

Only to win 1x. No big plays for me today.

**Gee** · 08-10-10, 06:45 AM

sportsinsights says pinny has moved the line as well. all a bit confusing

im treading lightly.

**paco** · 08-10-10, 06:51 AM

I will be on that chick with u.

**Wilforth** · 08-10-10, 07:10 AM

Shari,

I'm tailing your Fognini play. I also like a lot of dogs today but may only do 2 more in addition to my Ferrer play: Fogini and Chardy.

thanks in advance!
