Shari's tennis plays

Tommy_de1st · 06-27-10, 06:00 AM

There is a beautiful weather in London right now and all tennis players have a day off. They are mocking us. As simple as that.
They are not there for visiting.

Exactly!! They're all lazy bastards.

Such a boring day gambling wise for me with no tennis to care about.

Tommy_de1st · 06-27-10, 06:35 AM

When I woke up in the morning I thought: waiting for England/Germany match is quite boring , let's get some action in tennis and now what?
Nothing to bet on ...

Nah, im not that degerate, was joking

unless you have sth interesting with good odds

shari91 · 06-27-10, 06:48 AM

I have nothing. I've placed 2 bets today - one on Australian footy and one on horses. Now my main WC bet is the over 9.5 corners for Germany match. Such a dull day.

What you guys think about Hewitt against Djokovic?

If I bet that one I'll be on Hewitt. Hasn't lost on grass yet this season, beat Federer for the first time in like 7 years (obviously Fed's not bringing his A game but still - it's Federer) and he fights to the death for every point. Beating Monfils in straights was great too! I'd rather bank on him than Chokovic whose serve is only starting to become decent again but I may still just skip this one altogether.

ukbsktbll · 06-27-10, 10:17 PM

Like Mathieu +7 over Nadal with his recent struggles?

Goat Milk · 06-27-10, 10:46 PM

R.Soderling Games Won/D.Ferrer Games Won Over 33½ -120* 1x (risking)

I just got home and will start to look at them in about a half an hour. I'll try to get them up as quickly as I can.

venice2222 · 06-28-10, 12:04 AM

I think Soderling wins in straight sets.

iceminers26 · 06-28-10, 12:12 AM

Good luck today Shari

Hope Rusty can get it done today, will be pulling for him.

Thanks Icer - Best of luck to you too!! I think I have to put a small play on Rusty - they're showing the match on national tv here and I'm afraid they'll revoke my residency if I don't!

With that being said though, he would still be my choice. I just wouldn't risk a lot of money on it.

My plays today (I'm still looking at the men but nothing's standing out so far)

Clijsters/Henin over 22.5 -113

Radwanska +100

Kvitova +215

Rainman12 · 06-28-10, 02:23 AM

Good luck with your picks today Shari. I'm with you on kvitova. I watched her demolish azarenka and she has some big shots. She can trouble wozniacki

bolekblues · 06-28-10, 05:09 AM

I see almoast whole board is on Radwanka. She's my compatriot and I have to say that it seems she performs well whenever she's an underdog and everybody thinks she is about to go down (like most of the time in first rounds of the wimbledon) and then when she goes through this and it appears tha she finally found her rythm Radwanska declines and tend to have disappointing performance. Unfortunately I have seen this happen many times in her career and today the the situation really resembles this pattern. I don't want to jinx anyone's picks (especially when I am myself on her bigtime) but really hope that weird sequence does not happen again.

mikejamm · 06-28-10, 05:32 AM

Hey Shari, Who do you like to win straight up in the Clijsters / Henin match? The ML has Clijsters favored at a few books and Henin the fav at couple of other ones. You got some insight on who might take it?

Hey Mike. It makes sense that different books are favouring each player. If Henin can bring the same serve as she did against Kirilenko and Clijsters can continue playing beautiful tennis (only 45 unforced errors the entire tournament), this one is really a coin flip. If I had to choose though, I'd have to go with Clijsters. Too much is dependant on Henin's first serve - if it deserts her again, she will have a difficult time beating Kimmy. I feel much safer taking the over in this one since I see this one going 3 or at the very least one tiebreak in 2 sets. Best of luck with your plays!

mikejamm · 06-28-10, 06:32 AM

Thanks Shari. Great analysis, I was kinda up in the air on taking the ML in this match up, you're right, over looks really good and this one will almost certainly have tiebreaks. I did read that Henin is 3-1 vs Clijsters all time on grass. Got me thinking that Justine might have a little mental edge on Kim.

Tommy_de1st · 06-28-10, 06:34 AM

I don't trust Radwanska, She's playing worse than last year when she beat Na Li
I don't expect that to happen this year

SoV · 06-28-10, 06:58 AM

Jankovic getting pummeled!

bolekblues · 06-28-10, 07:06 AM

Unfortunately Radwanska is playing terrible. Just as I feared

Yep. It was worth a shot. Li is notorious for having brain fails in important matches and Agie could've capitalised but didn't as well as she should have.

And bloody Jankovic retires when she's getting killed out there. I feel badly for my friend who had quite a bit on Zvonareva.

Tommy_de1st · 06-28-10, 07:18 AM

Bye bye Radwanska

beefcake · 06-28-10, 07:24 AM

Have Li on a future,lets hope sharapova can pull the upset to open the door for NA

SoV · 06-28-10, 07:26 AM

Oh, Jankovic was not fully fit. Her being retired means my parlay survives!

SoV · 06-28-10, 07:29 AM

What a start by Justin Henin!

And Venus Williams takes the first set but on the verge of losing the second!

Henin's looking good. I need Kimmy to get back in this one for my over to have a chance of hitting. I'm not sure why I bet these damn totals.

And Venus fought back as she normally does. Tied at 5 in the 2nd.

WIZARDOFBEANTOWN · 06-28-10, 08:18 AM

gl shari thanks for the insight gl

May I be the first to cash this for you, wise call, wish I'd left it at that but I'm still sweating on an Henin win.

Yezzir · 06-28-10, 08:34 AM

Kimmy serving for the set

shari91 · 06-28-10, 08:36 AM

Lu +7.5 - 190

Lu/Roddick over 35 +120

Yezzir · 06-28-10, 08:37 AM

Wooohoo.

Go Kimmy!

shari91 · 06-28-10, 08:40 AM

And Clijsters wins. Again Henin's serve not strong enough to take it to players with a strong returning game. While I'm sorry for those who lost money on Henin, I'm selfishly happy that I analysed that one somewhat decently and since I like Kimmy, that makes me even happier.

kop1987 · 06-28-10, 08:45 AM

shari, what u think of kitova's match?? can she win the game?? she has already won the first set.. =D

Well, I took Kvitova ML from the beginning so I bloody well hope she can win the match. It looks like she may break Wozniacki again here in the 2nd so if you're going to jump on her, do it quick!!
