Check out a few of the mommy forums and you'd be surprised. I have nothing on them.

Anyway, when are you starting your tennis thread? I'd love to be able to tail your plays since mine are such trash.

SoV · 07-06-10, 02:19 PM

What's with this sudden resentment towards Shari? Male-dominated forum cannot take a successful female gambler?

JNic · 07-06-10, 02:46 PM

this is random, but have you guys noticed at newport everyone is double faulting like crazy. Ball had 7, Dent had 9, Bozoljac already has 14, both Phau and Brown had 14, Devvarman/Kim had 7 each. it's just weird

Cappinpicks · 07-06-10, 02:47 PM

I must have been tailing the wrong picks... can you bolden your picks if possible?

ha1ogen · 07-06-10, 02:49 PM

ya bozo's double faults are killing me... i tihnk dont what the heck hes doing, and hes getting a bunch of 2nd serve aces =/

laur01 · 07-06-10, 03:01 PM

I don't think it's weird. I think there are a lot of young/fringe players ... the youngsters especially who are just trying to hit the crap out of the ball and win cheap points.

I didn't realise the numbers were that bad but I had noticed there were a lot flying around.

It's funny - during half time of the WC match I was looking at the notes I took last year on this tournament just to see how I did money-wise and if there were any little quirky things about Newport that stood out. I had typed in caps: "Shari, you do not like this tournament. It is where decent players go to die. Bet at your own risk in the future."

I think I may continue to focus more on the women in this one and leave the men up to you guys. If I see something good, I'll tail but these matches have been shocking. Maybe I'm just spoiled after Wimbledon and I'll adjust back to normality but so far it's been the pits.

The tournaments that happen the week after Slam events are always ones that you should proceed with caution with. The fields are often full of guys/gals you may not know enough about - but as tennis bettors, we feel the urge to continue on especially if you did well at the Slam. Newport always seems to have one or two B-list guys headlining like Querrey and Fish and then whomever wants a paycheck fills out the rest. Used to be cool because Fabrice Santoro played this shit every year. That dude was awesome.

Ram looks like hes going to the semis for sure, great serving today

Tommy_de1st · 07-06-10, 04:51 PM

Shari, I just quickly looked at tomorrow's card and i see some big dog plays. Look at those matches:
Shuai Peng v Anastasija Sevastova
Alisa Kleybanova v Patty Schnyder
Anabel Medina Garrigues v Greta Arn
Karolina Sprem v Lucie Safarova
Jill Craybas v Anna-Lena Groenefeld

Men lines are not available yet

Cappinpicks · 07-06-10, 11:12 PM

tennis gives me nightmares. coin flip at best that always goes against me

shari91 · 07-07-10, 03:36 AM

My main tennis book doesn't have some of the lines up yet but so far my plays are:

Schnyder +150

Malek +4.5 -105

I also like Arn and will play her once the line goes up here. Haven't looked at the men yet.

Slainte · 07-07-10, 03:45 AM

GL shari

Tommy_de1st · 07-07-10, 04:03 AM

Shari, how bout Sprem? Can she pull this one out?

Rainman12 · 07-07-10, 04:11 AM

Good luck with your plays tonight everyone. i have a small play on Sevastova and a dulgheru/harrison parlay.
heading out for a night on the town and to blow some money at the caz

Yeah, she can but I'm not willing to put money on her.

Best of luck at the casino, Rainman!

G3ck0l0c0 · 07-07-10, 05:50 AM

Many thx Shari !
GL to everyone

shari91 · 07-07-10, 06:23 AM

Malek and Dulko have played 16 minutes so far and haven't made it past the first game yet. Why do I bet this rubbish?

Not sure what's so funny. It's a badly kept secret on the Tour that he's suffering major kidney pains as a result of the match. Care to let me in on the joke?

Good thing you're not taking him then, huh? Don't you have TB's thread to go troll?

Didn't mean to be rude at all. It's just funny that 2 weeks have passed and you are still taking into account the fatigue factor. Didn't know anything about the kidney pains.

JNic · 07-07-10, 07:13 AM

do you guys see this, another fix at newport, go soeda goes from +140 to -350

bobbyhazell · 07-07-10, 07:15 AM

Shari are you able to watch the Malek game? I've only got scoreboard. Talk about a turnaround, WTF is going on!!!!!!

It's all good noober. Best of luck with your plays.

Yeah, it's pissing me off. I took him at +105 and now my bet has been voided and the line's been taken down. Cripes I hate betting on this sport sometimes.

I haven't been watching, only checking out the scoreboard every now and then. I've been getting too frustrated watching some of these matches the past 2 days so I decided to watch a World Cup preview show instead.

At least the handicap is looking better now.

I put her in a parlay but wouldn't feel comfortable telling you to take her in straights as she often starts slow.

WalkingLuckCharm · 07-07-10, 08:10 AM
