Shari's tennis plays

[shari91]

Shari Did you ever pass thru International Falls once or twice... Seeing that you love hockey....did you ever follow any of the great northern high school teams.... i.e Warroad, Grand Rapids, Duluth East, Hibbing etc..

I've been to International Falls but I honestly never followed any of the US high school teams that were close to where I lived. My hometown had an awesome league and was basically a farm team for the OHL so I mainly paid attention to that. I was a serious hockey bunny at one point.

I remember a junior hockey game playoff game in St. Paul..

The Pembroke Lumber Kings came down to play
the St. Paul Vulcans....

The game turned violent when a Lumber King got cut
by a Vulcan skate and the entire Lumber King club
hopped the bench and started fighting with the Vulcan
bench...

I tell ya...it was like a scene out of " Slapshot "....

Hi Shari, how's it going? Feeling good about the next fortnight. Between some smart tennis tailing and a great world cup things are looking good.

Any of these you feel really strongly about?

Hey Bobby! I'd say Ilhan and Zeballos are probably my strongest leans so far but it's a bit of a toss up between the two. Best of luck with your plays today!!

[bobbyhazell]

Thanks Shari and best of luck to you too
And thanks again also for sharing your picks so generously, I've started doing a few of my own but still learning. Hoping to be able to watch quite a bit these next 2 weeks and get more of a feel for some players.

It's a beautiful day here in London and apparently no rain all week!

[Rainman12]

Zeballos is definitely a great chance to beat Lu, who has been in ordinary form.
Im also on llodra 3-0 -117 and a small play on zahlavova to knock off kleybanova at +417 as well as a few other plays
what are you guys thoughts?

I actually have two little bets on Zahlavova 2-0 and 2-1. I definitely think she has a chance to beat Kleybanova in this one. Quirky random fact: The two times Llodra has made it to a final the week before Wimbledon, he's been knocked out the first round. Mind you the last time was in '05 but I still found it interesting since he's been knocked out in the 1st round 4 out of the 9 times he's been to Wimbledon, most recently in '08. I wouldn't be shocked to see Witten get a set from Llodra but I could be giving him too much credit as well. Best of luck today!

Hlavackova -160 (Hate the odds but love the play)

[Rainman12]

thanks for that info shari, but it is hard to see how witten could trouble llodra.
hopefully zahlavova can get up for us today! best of luck with your picks also, lets clean up wimbledon

[Tommy_de1st]

I actually have two little bets on Zahlavova 3-0 and 3-1.

You meant 2-0 and 2-1 of course


Gl with your plays shari

[shari91]

You meant 2-0 and 2-1 of course Gl with your plays shari

Maybe I did, maybe I didn't.

Thanks for that - was trying to feed my son, look at matches, get bets in, and post my plays all at the same time.

Best of luck Tommy!!! Big kisses to your daughter.

[Tommy_de1st]

Thanks Shari, super-mom
Kisses to your son as well. You promised to put his pic in your avy, remember?

[OverUnder]

Best of Luck Shari!!!

I will be tailing cause I know nothing about tennis!

[Rainman12]

zeballos loses the first 5-7, cmon horacio

[shari91]

Best of Luck Shari!!! I will be tailing cause I know nothing about tennis!

Hopefully we can get some winners today! Best of luck to you too OU

zeballos loses the first 5-7, cmon horacio

Yeah, but at least he took it to 7 so I'm happy with that. That's one perk of the Slams - 5 sets. A lot of time for a player to turn it around.

I'm shocked at Ball and Schnyder though. Honestly don't know what happened to those two.

[Rainman12]

yeah berankis is on fire at the moment, could spell trouble for someone later in the coming rounds.
Lu has already hit 33 winners and only 3 unforced, hopefully he cant keep that up

[shari91]

I'm ready to give Zeballos a smackdown. Too many UEs. At least Massu is keeping it close for my +6.

[Rainman12]

wow ball has got himself back in it, taking the 3rd 6-3

[shari91]

Zeballos went down in three but Massu should cover that one unless he implodes in the 4th.

Now I have to worry about Mayer and Galung although I must admit I'm just watching Federer at the moment. Wow.

[Tommy_de1st]

Alejandro nice name and Alejandro Falla is close to eliminate Federer from Wimbledon

[bobbyhazell]

Zeballos +100 Massu +6 +100 Terrible, terrible day. Worst I've had in awhile.

Never mind darling, got to have the odd bad day, you'll get them tomorrow. Could be worse, you could have put the house on Federer 3-0!!

You're still a star

[shari91]

Jesse Huta Galung +100

Leonardo Mayer +180

Marsel Ilhan 3-0 -105

Zeballos +100

Massu +6 +100
Hlavackova -160

Alison Riske +190

[EaglesPhan36]

Thought hard about that Riske one, but for some reason I thought it was way too sexy to get her against Wickmayer again at a solid price after she beat her already this year. First day of the Slams has a way of demolishing people. That's why I try to keep it simple with 2-3 plays. I had Mayer too. He had a shot to make it a match in the 2nd, but lost that tie break. I'll still fade Monfils in the right spots.

[jaymac82980]

anyone else like potito getting +650 today? could be worth a small shot.

It's really silly of me to play so much in the opening rounds but because of the time difference I always do so it forces me to watch matches when I'd normally go to sleep.

I got lucky though with a few smaller prop plays and maybe a parlay (if Ilhan can win his damn match) I didn't bother posting because they were longshots so I didn't end up as badly as I could have but still - not a good day just from a capping standpoint. I'm waiting to see what's going to happen with the Wawa match - if I get paid out on it then I may look at a few more today but if they just cancel the bets than I'm going to pack it in for the night and just watch the Spain match.

[Cappinpicks]

Gabashivili

[Rainman12]

llodra losing the third ruined my day

[southpaw74]

Gabashivili

[shari91]

Gabashivili

He's coming back. Remember, 5 sets again. A lot can happen!!

llodra losing the third ruined my day

I'm sorry. I thought it may happen - that's why I posted the stat about him for you. But you'll get it back!!

[shari91]

BAD BAD DAY!!

I'm so sorry to anyone who tailed. I haven't had a stinker like that in awhile. I'm going to play a few more matches now that I got paid out on the Wawa first set bet but won't post my plays so I don't risk taking anyone else down with me. Best of luck everyone!!

[Rainman12]

thanks shari no need to say sorry.
its not completely ruined though, if kerber and makarova can get up later then they day can be salvaged
dont think ill stay up for those though its almost 4am

[shari91]

I really wanted to watch the Spain match but I'm dying here. I think I wasted too much energy watching the Federer match. This time difference nonsense is a killer, especially when you have two major events on at the same time. We may as well turn into vampires.

[bolekblues]

It will be better!! I tailed but luckily played chile and under big so did not end up going too bad. you're playing spain on a handicap shari?
