you always get the best prices

I'm using Sportingbet in Australia. Some times their prices are shockingly bad but other times they're slow to move their tennis lines so it's just a matter of jumping on at the right time and crossing your fingers that you beat the closing number.

Shari gl with your plays! How big are you going today?

My biggest bet so far is Montanes. Everything else is just reasonable. There isn't a ton that I like today although I may change my mind and do something with Petkovic for more money later. Best of luck to you too.

Digging that JCF-Djokovic parlay, had not even thought about that one. Good price. Might follow on that.

Pinny paid me out on Montanes then took it back LOL

shari91 · 09-04-10, 11:04 AM

And of course on my biggest play of the day, Nishikori retires after going down 6-2 in the first set.

EaglesPhan36 · 09-04-10, 11:06 AM

Tough. Glad I steered off that one. Nishikori was a great fade today after the Cilic marathon. At least that means Dick Gasquet and the Big Stick start earlier I hope. I'm on Anderson today.

Seriously Jankovic, give tennis away.

Spring carnival has started in Melbourne

I did Schnyder ML for 0.5u. What that means is that the game will be tight but she'll eventually lose. Those who did the spread will cash their play but I'll lose.

nocode1 · 09-04-10, 12:02 PM

Shari if Tippys loses this set I bet you he pulls out

Goat Milk · 09-04-10, 12:59 PM

what a joke draw it has been for Soderling. now gets monte. so lucky

Goat Milk · 09-04-10, 01:56 PM

Tipsy goes down in 4. If his legs were completely healthy it would have been a different match

Yeah, I had him in a small parlay

ukbsktbll · 09-04-10, 04:37 PM

Come on fish finish this match

Goat Milk · 09-04-10, 05:54 PM

Ferrero is gonna bury me

How much do you bet with Sullo? Do you only bet there? How much do you hit soft lines? How much are you up? Have you run into a delay/reduced max or anything like that?

PM me if you don't want to make this public and we can discuss exploiting Australian books.

Just checked the scoreline. Not a pretty sight.

As for me: Montanes - PUSH. Wickmayer - WIN. Small parlay: LOSS. Last minute bet on Petkovic: PUSH. Small parlay with Petkovic/Soderling/Fish: I made something like $32 thanks to the Petkovic match.

I guess there's a reason I said earlier I didn't like much in these matches today.

leans for today?

So far Schiavone and Stosur. Trying to figure out what, if anything, I'm going to do with the men. Starting to lean Lopez but still not sure yet.

shari91 · 09-05-10, 10:24 AM

Schiavone looking good so far while Pavly seems to be struggling to remember she's supposed to be playing tennis right now.

Goat Milk · 09-05-10, 10:27 AM

Stosur Demented is a tough one. Dementiava's speed will give Stos problems.

Yeah but I think between Stosur's serve and the power of her shots she can take her. Demented's going down - if Sammy can't take her out (although I think she can) then I'm just going to double up on whomever she plays in the next round.

shari91 · 09-05-10, 10:33 AM

I'm going to be pissed if Schiavone wins the first set and loses the match. Someone on TI said to take her in the 1st set because she'll start really strong but I passed on that to take her for the match. Hopefully I didn't make a mistake.

TopGun1 · 09-05-10, 11:28 AM

Remarkably easy win for Schiavone.... I wish i put on more now on my bet(!)

It's good getting Stosur at + money at what will be a close match, will probably also put some on that match too.

I really should've put more on her too, considering one of the reasons I felt so strongly about her is because Pavly's never made it that far in a Slam and I figured Schiavone's experience would get her the win. People definitely pounded that line down on Pavly but seemed to ignore Schiavone is a Grand Slam champion - sure on a different surface but she knows what to do to win.

That Stosur line to me is crazy too. Not sure what Demented's shown so far in this tournament to warrant that price but I'll gladly take Stosur as a dog in this one.

TopGun1 · 09-05-10, 11:45 AM

Agree, Schiavone is a proven competitor and she has been playing great this tournament. I bet her strongly the match before but didn't have much time today to look into it so put a small bet on.

Stosur has been drifting for some reason also... may leave it till later on today and see where the line is at. Worrying more about my big Nalbandian bet at the moment!

Good luck today Shari

Ansermil · 09-05-10, 11:50 AM

Thanks Shari

Tennis_Bettor · 09-05-10, 11:58 AM

shari, what do you think about Wickmayer against Kanepi tomorow?

I like Wickmayer as a dog.

UpsetSpecial09 · 09-05-10, 12:24 PM

Shari any thoughts on Llodra today? Thinking about a parlay of Llodra/Not Demented in 2 sets. I like Stosur today as well to at least pick up a set.

ukbsktbll · 09-05-10, 01:19 PM

What do you think about nadal -7 Simon in a recent interview said he would be happy w a win or loss bc his wife just had a baby and he hasn't seen the baby

ukbsktbll · 09-05-10, 01:20 PM

Nm too late ha

lasker · 09-05-10, 06:55 PM

Horrible day for me so far. I bet big on Stosur so hopefully she'll save the day. Not chasing, just ... confident

shari91 · 09-05-10, 07:41 PM

Sorry guy - just logged on for the morning now. Pretty crappy to see yet another one of my bets gets voided due to retirement. I think that's the 3rd in two days. I really think I'm going to start betting 1st set winners on the players I think may be facing someone with injury concerns although to be honest, I didn't expect that from Stak.

Hopefully Sammy can come through and end this day off nicely.

lasker · 09-05-10, 08:06 PM

Use 5dimes, then the bet will stand unless they retire in the 1st set.

Goat Milk · 09-05-10, 08:08 PM

I had a feeling Llodra would retire. In his match against Berdych he was limping a bit and took a medical timeout. Then he took a medical timeout in his next match too.

Stak was complaining about his back.

I've thought of that but I actually like the way my book does it. Even though it pisses me off when I keep happening to choose matches with retirements lately that would've worked in my favour, that rule has pulled me out of trouble many times so I think it's pretty close to even.
