Shari's tennis plays

**MUHerd37** · 08-24-10, 03:34 PM

He just got the double break and now the match is suspended by rain.

**MUHerd37** · 08-24-10, 03:34 PM

Now it's going again???

**Goat Milk** · 08-24-10, 03:38 PM

Young folds like a cheap tent in the third set

**lovetobet** · 08-24-10, 03:47 PM

Can someone clarify the Chela -2.5 (I know some of you got it at 2 but I got it at 2.5)

First set Chela loses 5-7
Second set Chela Wins 6-4

So at this point is it even in a sense (i.e. -2 for the first set for Chela and +2 for the second set for Chela, thus = 0)

Thus if Chela wins the third set 6-4, I would lose with chela -2.5, those that got Chela at 2 would push.

Is this correct?

If this is correct the scores in the earlier sets matter, right? In other words everything else staying the same but chela wins the 2nd set 6-3 (then he has a +1 advantage going into the third set) and my -2.5 would be a winner at with a 6-4 chela 3rd set winner.

Does this make any f*cking sense? Am I correct?

Thanks guys, new to tennis wagering, just wanted to make sure I had it right, hopefully none of it matters if it stops raining and Chela finishes this "wanker" off.

**jagaf22** · 08-24-10, 03:57 PM

Radar doesn't even look like it's raining. Let's GO!

**Razzzzzor** · 08-24-10, 04:21 PM

Wait what? What? I leave and come back to see Chela win set 2, and up 5-0 in the 3rd, but halted because of drizzle???? WTFuh?

Let's GO New Haven!! Finish this byotch!

Nice I see Pennetta held on

Damn if Chela holds on, no jinx no jinx, this day will turn out ok for tennis

**Razzzzzor** · 08-24-10, 04:39 PM

**MUHerd37** · 08-24-10, 09:00 PM

Errani +4.5 is a winner! Nice call

**Foals** · 08-25-10, 04:14 AM

Anyone else liking de Bakker and Chela today?

**robert_wrath** · 08-25-10, 05:22 AM

Good Luck today!

Yup u just add the games together, add or minus the handicap and see if you r In front or behind

Good hit Shari. Didn't pull the trigger. Wish I had - obviously

**paciophobia** · 08-25-10, 05:42 AM

great hit shari!

any early leans for later's matches?

**shari91** · 08-25-10, 05:56 AM

deBakker +105

Safina +100

Nice to see Chela and Errani hit, as well as 2 totals plays I was on. Made for a decent day. I have a few other plays I'll probably jump on for a bit but won't be posting those as they're just based solely on tips.

Best of luck everyone!! Hopefully the weather is a bit kinder to us today although I fear it may not be.

**leeloo** · 08-25-10, 06:13 AM

Thanks for the picks Shari .... I noticed you and Goat have the same 2 picks so I will definitly be tailing. Just curious why you think de bakker will win. I was really liking Mayer for some reason although my knowledge of tennis is poor.

**papitopapita** · 08-25-10, 06:14 AM

im really liking kirilenko today. what you think shari?

I didn't even see Goat's thread yet - for the Aussies in my thread I was engrossed in the Ben Cousins doco

- but Goat and I discussed our picks together for close to 3 hours today before he left on a mini-holiday. We went through every match several times and as I said, there will be picks that I'll be on but not posting, but these are the ones we both ended up liking for one reason or another, keeping in mind that New Haven has transferred matches indoor before because of inclement weather. If that happens again, you need to recap whatever match you're on because the variables will change due to the speed of the court. For all other matches other than the 2 I've posted, I'll be waiting to see what happens.

I will most likely be on Timea with the handicap. Just watching how much Bartoli struggled to win yesterday, and seeing my tennis buddies sweat it out, leaves me with no confidence in her ability to win this one easily.

**Bbr** · 08-25-10, 07:04 AM

That Doco was AMAZING. The truth comes out....
GL with todays action.

**Foggy** · 08-25-10, 07:30 AM

Hey Shari, I'm on the Rodionova ML this morning. Curious what you think about this match?

Thanks Bbr and I agree - it was! Considering I work in film and a big chunk of my adult life has sadly been wrapped up in selling bullshit to the masses, you can only imagine how impressed and amazed I was by that doco. Can't wait for tomorrow night. Best of luck to you too!!

I like her quite a bit.

The only downfall with her is her mental strength to stay present in matches. At the end of the day though she's definitely worth the handicap bet and a smaller ML bet here. Best of luck.

**Foggy** · 08-25-10, 07:55 AM

Cool, thanks. Good luck to you as well!

**jojo85** · 08-25-10, 08:39 AM

Bartoli hates Rodionova (said so in 2009 as answer to least likeable player on tour), so I wouldn't be surprised if Bartoli tries to bagel her ass.

Yep. And I'm sure if you questioned other players on the Tour and they answered honestly, they'd say they hated Rodi too. Just as they hate Sharapova and Serena. Big difference between hating a fellow competitor and actually having the form and/or ability to bagel them, especially when you should've been taken out in the first round yourself. As I said, it's something that if I'm going to play I'll keep it to myself. Best of luck!!

**nocode1** · 08-25-10, 08:54 AM

Shari told ya rodi would come through for ya....i made the call

Rodionova slept with Bartoli's hubby

**MUHerd37** · 08-25-10, 11:18 AM

Anyone know what's going to happen with the Blake/Dolgopolov match that started yesterday?

I don't blame Bartoli's husband. Have you seen Bartoli?
