Shari's tennis plays

ah well, backed querrey anyway.

shari91 · 02-08-11, 10:02 PM

I don't touch Querrey matches anymore after he nailed me at the French and watching him bury friends in here. The guy is a screwball. I honestly don't even look at them so I have no clue. Sorry.

dam, i'll accept the loss if it happens, but i backed him cause he generally wins more in the US home grounds. missed me by a minue not a big loss if he loses anyway. taint

Woohoo Nishikori!! I'm debating taking the rest of the week off and taking my cash and running. We'll see.

A bit pissed off I didn't put a half unit on Kucova and Oudin as I liked them both but felt I already had enough cash out there. Oh well.

Fear and Greed are the biggest killers. If you've won enough, banking it and playing small, or have a refreshing break, is definitely the smart play.

Hello Shari, just stopping by to say hello. Hope all is well and u killin the tennis as u always do,

Mikail · 02-08-11, 11:19 PM

Shari or anyone else who may know about Del Potro. Do you think Gabashvili will give him problems?

Pride · 02-08-11, 11:25 PM

gabashili could definitely pose some problems but they should be handled if del potro is on his game.

the main question is if del potro gets up for the match.

Hey!! I've been on a pretty crazy run this year so far and I'm thinking I may need to take a break at least for the rest of the week. It's bound to come crashing down soon so I'm worried about giving my winnings back. So happy to see you've been killing it too!! Once I'm back on my computer I'll be back in your thread.

Mikhail - I personally wouldn't touch DelPo at this price. I see TB has but he's a braver bettor than I. I've seen nothing from him yet to show that he warrants this price against anyone. Yeah his overall talent is much higher than Garbage's but he doesn't have the matches under his belt yet. I'm not saying don't play him but if you're sticking him in a parlay I'd go small. Just my opinion though.

shari91 · 02-08-11, 11:33 PM

Nice to see you Pride

Coochiemudlo · 02-08-11, 11:34 PM

Took Querrey in a four leg parlay and he ***** it up for me

Second time i've backed this clown.

NEVER AGAIN

Mikail · 02-08-11, 11:34 PM

I have him as the last leg of a parlay and now the price is going against my favor as the match gets closer. Just gonna have to hedge and take the small loss to avoid possibly losing a big loss. Thanks for the feedback Shari and Pride.

brettels · 02-08-11, 11:38 PM

im in on never backing querry again, its so annoying when big favourites lose, i had my doubt and should have trusted it.

Coochiemudlo · 02-08-11, 11:44 PM

Did he even care about that match! f\*\*k me. That bloke is a joke.

shari91 · 02-08-11, 11:44 PM

Sorry I didn't say anything until right before the match but I've said it in here 1000 times - there is no point backing that prick. Don't even look at his matches unless you love his opponent and want to fade him. He is a clown, 100%.

I know you both are new to my thread though so I understand why you didn't know how I felt about him. I'll never back him. Never. I'll quickly look at who he's playing and if I'm in the mood and the price is worth it I'll fade. Other than that, I completely ignore him. The guy is a complete asshat.

Beason5209 · 02-08-11, 11:47 PM

Wow I feel like an idiot. Lost a lot on that pathetic display. It was more a bet against Lacko who looked brutal lately. Man, work so hard to get up and blow it all on this shit.

Should have trusted you Shari...

Coochiemudlo · 02-08-11, 11:51 PM

Lesson learned

I wont bet on him again! Still way up but as the final leg in my multi it makes me very sad

Shari, who else is on your never to be backed list?

VTranX · 02-08-11, 11:51 PM

any picks for wta matches?

dfberger23 · 02-08-11, 11:59 PM

Querrey is a joke, don't know why I took him tonight, so mad.

pdprodigy · 02-09-11, 12:07 AM

Gabashavili!

pdprodigy · 02-09-11, 12:12 AM

Baltacha should be screwed..take Peng

yah i hadnt posted for a few months so I decided to come back and make some more money.

lately all ive been doing is parlays with big ml favs since i dont have much interest with spreads anymore, unless the spot is right.

glad to see you tearing it up this year

shari91 · 02-09-11, 12:14 AM

Coochie- off the top of my head: Chardy, Rezai, Andreev and basically any French player although I very once in awhile will back Monfils. Rarely though. There are a few more but I can't think of them right now.

Vtran- I haven't really looked yet but I have already put a bit on Voskoboeva at +425. Might be a blowout but I really don't think so.

we have a nice list.

chardy / querry / cilic / most frenchies and the occasional monfils unless he starts bouncing around mid match in which case we pound him live.

Gee · 02-09-11, 12:58 AM

Don't forget to mention Dolgo, Tipsy (he screwed me over at $1.15 one too many times last week), Potato, Davy, Hanescu and Gulbis.

Hell, now i know why i don't bet these minor tourneys much

there is such a big no bet list!

shari91 · 02-09-11, 01:15 AM

I bet Dolgo, Tipsy and Potato from time to time. Even Hanescu if I get good enough info on where is head is at. Davydenko though is one who is straddling the no fly zone list for me. Gulbis is almost there too although he's not quite as bad. Stosur is up there too.

Gee · 02-09-11, 01:23 AM

Shari: can you give me any reasons why Llodra/Melzer/Simon/Youzhny and Peng don't win.

I think the last 3 legs are easy winners, but only add up at $1.64. I'm just trying to figure out how to play them. Maybe just Melzer/Peng and drop the really, really short ones.... at least the Peng game is early, so i'll know where I stand when melzer starts

Those three can seriously get fvcked IMO

Simon is just a head case who sometimes completely gives up, and Llodra is playing Tsonga so I presume you meant Tsonga? I do like Youzhny, Peng though but not enough value, maybe combine with Murray?

Simon is back and trying again i think.... but at $1.10, you're right, i may leave this alone.

Nah, i did mean Llodra. From what i've read he's been good this tourney. Its more a value bet, because the odds shouldn't be so far out. Tsonga always screws me though...

scared of the murray flatness post AO final flop.

I've played Melzer/Peng at $2.17 and still thinking about Llodra.

Youzhny/Peng/Murray would still be very short for a 3 teamer..

Simon's too short and isn't worth that price. Melzer should win somewhat easily unless Cilic miraculously finds form. Youzhny should win this even if he turned up drunk. Llodra's the dog. Peng should win as well. Baltacha is basically rubbish for the most part.

shari91 · 02-09-11, 02:24 AM

I've put in small parlay on Peng/youzhny/Mayer +122. Only half a unit.

Gee · 02-09-11, 02:24 AM

sorry, i phrased my question re: Llodra very badly. I should have asked if there is any good reason not to take him at $2.75? it seems too high...

I'll most likely be backing Llodra but solely because Tsonga had his ass kicked in a pick up match by a kid I mentioned in my thread during the Aussie Open. He was so pissed he walked off the court before match point and then the next day he went out and lost to Dolgo which earned a few people I know a lot of money.

Tsonga's too unpredictable at the best of times and right now he's all over the shop. It won't be a big bet on my part though because like I said, he's way too unpredictable.

Oh - the same kid also smoked Ivanovic in a pick up match too. One she only agreed to because she thought she was doing him a favor.

He'll make us a lot of cash soon barring any injuries.
