Looks like Turdasco came to play today. Hopefully his ADHD kicks in soon, but I think Gil is too shitty today for that to matter.

Don't you think ADHD could even help in tennis?

No kidding. This guy is one of the biggest enigmas out there. It's so hard to figure out which version will show up. I'm starting to think he's another one I just need to avoid. I actually feel more confident betting Davy matches these days than Nando ones and what does that say???

Shari is there a reason why brown an troicki show pushes on your sheet ? maybe i missed something again LOL

No. I was trying to figure out my % for dude and I wasn't sure if the total at the bottom of the sheet included bets made but not graded yet so I graded the remaining ones as pushes just in case. Turns out the total units bet don't reflect your wager until you grade it one way or another.

**shari91** · 04-28-11, 10:52 AM

One more blonde Shari moment - I was ready to bet Brown +4 for one unit just to cover the ML because I was a bit worried with so many people liking Dustin in this match. Not on here but just in various forums. But because my handicap and ML bets yesterday all went to shit I thought I'd better save my money. Can't win some days

**shari91** · 04-28-11, 10:53 AM

Another bloody tiebreak

**EaglesPhan36** · 04-28-11, 10:57 AM

Really thought Gil at home in Portugal would give Verdasco a good match at least. This isn't even competitive.

**koscheckbaby** · 04-28-11, 10:58 AM

I almost bet Stepanek. Glad, I didn't. He's playing terrible. Brown too. Stepanek has really lost it. A few years back, he wins this in a breeze.

I got lucky. Parlayed Kohlschreiber and Volandri. Volandri-Marchenko was so bad, even the announcer was mocking them and praying for it to end. Over 130 errors in the match.

**sharlataans** · 04-28-11, 10:59 AM

Brown does not give a sh*t he plays Stepanek. He is as cool as a cucumber.

2nd serve and it is full force

**shari91** · 04-28-11, 11:00 AM

BSD in the house!!!

**koscheckbaby** · 04-28-11, 11:00 AM

Brown's gonna win. Stepanek looks plain awful. Just the serve of Brown will carry him in the 3rd.

Volandri-Marchenko was the opposite of BSD. Both those guys couldn't hold their damn serve. Doublefaults, second serves. Laughably bad. I wished Volandri had a serve to ease my nerves.

**Ruff** · 04-28-11, 11:02 AM

Brown in a fighting mood!!!
lets CASH this .... down 1-4 in 2nd set and stretches this to 3rd

Yeah, it's pretty embarrassing. One of those matches where I wish I didn't have a thread or a spreadsheet so no one knew I put cash on this mess.

**koscheckbaby** · 04-28-11, 11:04 AM

IF Stepanek would just play halfway decent, he wins it. Brown really doesn't have anything other than a serve. No wonder he's got such a bad record. No ridiculous shots, nothing. Just a serve.

**koscheckbaby** · 04-28-11, 11:05 AM

As an aside, I've noticed tennis players can be some of the ugliest people on the planet. Gabashvilli, Marchenko, Stepanek. All the matches I've watched today, they are ridiculously hard to look at.

I actually got lucky with that one because I would've taken Marchenko. He's terrible on clay but Pippo is such a dodgy bastard that it's hard to back him with cash most of the time. I'm glad it worked out for you

**koscheckbaby** · 04-28-11, 11:08 AM

Will Brown-Koehlschreiber have decent odds for Phillip? I will bet on him and not worry too much. Kohl is cool as a cucumber. He won't lose on clay just to a big server

Believe me. I got lucky backing Volandri. He played HORRIBLE.

**PetrGasparik** · 04-28-11, 11:48 AM

Shari, why you have tricki parlay as push, on spreadsheet? he doesnt start yet

**Cross** · 04-28-11, 01:24 PM

tennis capping is pretty tough this week for pretty much everyone on here. Things are due to change soon, keep up the hard work there Shari!

**Pride** · 04-28-11, 01:28 PM

troicki is about to crush me again

i never seem to grab him in the right spot

**biggie12** · 04-28-11, 01:51 PM

anyone want troviki +100 for 1000 pts?

**MUHerd37** · 04-28-11, 01:53 PM

Troicki getting his ass whooped. He's today's main attraction for his home country

**koscheckbaby** · 04-28-11, 02:35 PM

Troicki had no right staying out there and playing. But he won't retire. Stupid asshole

**UpsetSpecial09** · 04-28-11, 03:25 PM

WTF was with Troicki? Was he injured or something? He got crushed. Bastard cost me a parlay!

**ha1ogen** · 04-28-11, 03:44 PM

rough day shari

hope you turn things around

**beefcake** · 04-28-11, 04:18 PM

Shari , I cant believe both Raonic and Soda are that big of dogs...One of 2 has to hit if not both!

**shari91** · 04-28-11, 10:17 PM

From the sounds of it, I made the right call choosing to sleep for 2hrs instead of watching the Troicki match. Mother fukker.

Beefy, I literally haven't looked yet but if that's the case with both of them, I'll be on both.

I'm aiming to put my bets in within the next couple of hours. The royal wedding coverage starts here in 3hrs and I want to overdose on that before my shift starts.

Petr, a few posts above yours I explained that I was trying to figure out a % on something so I changed my remaining bets to pushes as I didn't want the units pending to take them into consideration. It's corrected now.

**Mthorn** · 04-28-11, 11:05 PM

Shari, what you think the outcome of the hercog vs tio be? I took hercog +150 and she up 6-5 in first set. Game was suspended.

I didn't see any of that match so it's hard for me to say.

But keep this in mind: As of right now, Hercog is scheduled to be in Madrid for qualies 3 1/2 hrs after this match is due to start. Whether they reschedule her Barcelona match or not, that tournament is more important than this one so I'd be a bit worried about where her motivation will be. Not saying she's going to tank it but I wouldn't be surprised if she did. Personally I'd reduce my stake on her if you have a chance to - maybe not completely but I'd definitely get out of it for at least some. Obviously just my opinion though

**mlb** · 04-28-11, 11:15 PM

good luck tomorrow

Thanks ha1ogen. I've had many rough days before this and I'll have many after. Not concerned in the least. If anyone thinks they'll go through gambling without losing days, I'd suggest they find a new hobby because they shouldn't be placing bets. And they definitely shouldn't be tailing another poster if they expect every day to be a winning one. Never going to happen.

**Mthorn** · 04-28-11, 11:32 PM

Thanks for the info shari, did not know she was playing in Madrid also. Just hope she comes thru and finish up this match strong.

**UpsetSpecial09** · 04-29-11, 12:51 AM

Match wasn't on tv here, did something happen with Troicki injury wise or does he just suck? How did he get smashed so badly todaY? Anyone see the match? His serve was broken right away and he never got a break the entire match
