Shari, just wanted to say hello and a big thank you. I love playing tennis but I've never got into betting it. But having observed your sharpness in LB's and Paco's threads I thought I'd come on here and learn. I say learn, but for the moment 'blind tail' is more accurate! Don't panic, I can handle losses too! I got on Schiavone, Berdych, the 1st set parlay and Petrova. So a huge, huge thank you for sharing your knowledge (and the others like Goat), I really appreciate it. And while I'm dishing out the compliments, the way you deal with negative posters throwing garbage at you or your friends with such dignity, articulation and respect is probably the classiest thing on this whole site. Much love

Thank you so much Bobby! What a lovely way for me to start my day!!

Tommy!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATS

Your daughter is gorgeous and I'm so happy to hear that she arrived safely. I hope your wife is doing well and getting some much deserved rest.

Lines here are moving like crazy today on a few things. I think it's best to get on some of the props early if you're going with the favourite.

It's tough. If I were forced to chose, I'd say yes but it's a lot of chalk to lay. Maybe parlay her with Nadal winning the first set to at least up it a bit?

**RobertPaulson** · 06-02-10, 01:17 AM

keep up the good work shari...im sure u'll do well 2nite

**Gio21** · 06-02-10, 01:19 AM

15) Tomas Berdych(11) Mikhail Youzhny 6-3, 6-1, 6-2 (the results from last night) if the spread was +7 Youzhny the bet would have lost because the difference between the games was 12?

Handicaps involve the number of games you think someone will win. So even though I believe Almagro will most likely lose the match entirely, I think he'll be able to keep it somewhat competitive. So if the final score was 6-4 6-3 6-4, I'd still be a winner because Nadal would've won 18 games and Almagro 11. Hope that helps a bit

**Gio21** · 06-02-10, 01:20 AM

Bet jam doesnt allow you to parlay tennis props because I was thinking about doing Nadal and Serena 1st set

Oh that sucks because I think that's a fairly good bet.

I parlay tennis props quite often - especially first set winners or total number of sets in a match with big favourites.

threw you some points! Good luck tonight!

**Goat Milk** · 06-02-10, 01:23 AM

Shari, Nadal is not dropping a set I don't think, but what would you take. Nadal 3-0 is -210 right now, the under 32 is -140.

I see a 7-5, 6-4, 6-2 Nadal win. I think you should reconsider Amalgro +7.5, I see 8 right now and I can see a high probability of a push at 8. You like the under or the higher chalk 3-0?

Last night was actually the first they released 1st set props and the Handicapping it was always only ML until last night. It sucks I think that 1st set parlay would have been a good investment

Yep, I'm scratching Amalgro +7.5. My other book is offering +8 but it's juiced whereas the +7.5 is now almost a PK. I think those 2 bets of yours are a bit of a toss up. I'd personally feel more comfortable with the 3-0 just in case Almagro makes a bit of run in a set, but really despite a few others thinking otherwise, I can't see Nadal dropping a set to him unless something goes seriously wrong. Last time they met at the French the score was 6-1 6-1 6-1 and yeah, Nadal isn't completely 100% but Almagro was on fire then and now he's only here because Verdasco blew chunks.

**shari91** · 06-02-10, 01:38 AM

Scratching Almagro +7.5

let's get it.

I also like +330 for Jank winning 2-1, we might have something there.

**Tommy_de1st** · 06-02-10, 02:03 AM

Morning everyone
Nadal 3-0 looks allright as well as Serena Williams 1 set

**Goat Milk** · 06-02-10, 02:06 AM

Tennis Babe just posted that 2-1 Jank wins play a second ago i'm gonna take it while its at +330

**SoV** · 06-02-10, 02:08 AM

I wish my book offered set bets. Parlay of Djokovic/Serena/Jankovic. Ideas?

**bobbyhazell** · 06-02-10, 02:11 AM

I've got Almagro to not win a set at -142 !!! Can that be right?

That's 20 cents higher than what I have. Can I send you some money to put it on for me??

I like it I have the same parlay

I have another with those and Nadal 3-0 thanks to picks from Goat and Shari right now

I can't back Serena in that parlay because I'm on Stosur. This isn't Serena's best surface so I think there's a little bit of value in taking Sam. However we're talking about Serena Williams in a Grand Slam so I realise the Mack truck my bet is literally going to run into. If you take it, I'd take it for small only but that's just my opinion.

**bobbyhazell** · 06-02-10, 02:28 AM

Can you get BWIN from Oz?
