      Sorry, I just saw this now. It actually probably isn't too low although with Isner's serve I wouldn't feel comfortable recommending anyone to lay the chalk on Andy here. Maybe a flat bet to help build your bankroll a bit. Isner doesn't have the net game to worry Murray too much I don't think.

                  Was just reading some of the feedback on the Petkovic/Bartoli match. Bartoli was 4-1 up in the first and lost the next 5 games in a row. And someone was saying she was sweating her ass off again out there and was mentally losing it. Exactly the crap I was saying about that damn Bartoli.

                  I had a feeling I should've loaded up on Petkovic when I was writing my thoughts to Biggle and I didn't. Just stuck with 2 units. Bloody hate when I do that.

                    Sorry champ, after speaking with you I was going to hedge my play but didn't . Still an excellent day for me with hits on Murray -3.5, Mattek-Sands -5, Mahut -2.5, Stepanek -2 and now a $300 win with Kvitova. Netted just shy of $700 today.

                      Shari do you think Tipsy will have any trouble beating Nishikori?

                      I want to take him at 1.60 (-140) but not before I hear your thoughts!

                        Congrats on an awesome day!! I tried to get on Mahut after I saw your post in here and I looked at a few more things about that match but I missed it. Also missed Step but I managed to get Petkovic, Mattek-Sands and the under, Murray and Kvitova. I'm once again disappointed that I didn't go harder on some of these bets today, especially Petkovic, but I guess I should be happy that I even bet them at all considering I hadn't planned to at the play these tournaments at the beginning of the week. This was a really great day for me money wise and I love seeing others in the tennis forum have big days as well. Congrats again!

                        Well, I've been debating for the past hour or so whether I'm taking Tipsy straight up or with the -2.5 if that helps! I just can't see Nishikori having it in him to bring enough today to get by Tipsy. Falla helped him along yesterday and I'm hoping he not only has the whole letdown factor today but that Tipsy keeps serving as strongly as he has been. Obviously I could be wrong though.

                              You know, 1.5 and 2.5 handicaps scare me much more than 4's or even 5's and higher. Smaller handicaps obviously indicate that the books think it'll be a tight match and more often than not they're right. Sometimes I jump on the 2-0 instead but today with Tipsy I've decided I'm going to just take the ML and flat bet it. I honestly can't remember the last time I've bet so many favourites in one week but thankfully we've all been on to something good here because very few dogs have been hitting. There's no point me betting dogs just for the sake of avoiding laying the chalk but I also can't bring myself to play to win a couple of units. I'd rather just drop a certain amount down on this one and not have to care about how many games it takes for Tipsy to get it done.

                              If he starts swearing in Serbian about Kei's mother though, we're in big shit. Just be aware of that because he burned Paco and I about a month ago when he pulled that stunt.

                              Thanks brettels - that's really lovely of you to say! The tennis forum is a really cool part of SBR - all of us accept the fact that we're not superstar pro gamblers and we just try to help each other out. Even when we're on different sides in a math, people are really supportive and that's a rarity on here as I'm sure you know. Any troublemakers are chased away pretty quickly too which helps a lot.

                              I hope you keep coming back in here to keep me company and share your thoughts and plays on the matches.

                                  yeah i will share my tips and get your input before i place them, have only lost on one bet so far this year out of around 10-12 bets, that was on stosur as you know after my outburst, which i wont do again. just watching the federer game streaming now vs tsonga so theres another win on its way by the looks of it so far so good.

                                      Nah, you should go with your gut on bets as I'm sure there will be times we're on opposite sides and it's the worst feeling when you back off something only to see it hit. And trust me - if you're going to have an outburst in any thread, this is the one for it! Usually I'm swearing and going nuts about matches in here. But this week I didn't expect much because I honestly didn't think I'd be betting so I'm pretty chilled about the whole thing. The money I've made is just an unexpected bonus. Don't worry though, you'll see Shari the nutter come out as soon as my bets get larger again. All I ask is that you don't go too hard on me personally when one of my picks loses and you're on the same side.

                                          no problems there, if a bet loses and i go nuts its cause i go all in, if i dont go all in im sweet and can handle the loss. my problem is the consecutive all ins cause i get cocky when on a roll then theres nothing left and i kick myself for it.

                                            Good luck to all of us for Tipsarevic bet I guess we all know that Tipsy is not a reliable guy but Nishikori has already done more than he can. Tipsy should win it in straight sets...

                                              Tippy´s odds have almost been slashed to half of what they were overnight so here´s hoping for a straight-forward win for all of us.

                                                lol, i'm just watching the replay of Petkovic and Bartoli. Bartoli has the wierdest serve, and you were spot on as she looks rather unfit. Petkovic draws Kvitova in the final tomorrow, it will be hard to go past Petkovic.

                                                    Bartoli unfit? Her nickname of Fatty is well deserved.

                                                      Great thread here Shari, and thanks for heads up EaglesPhan36. Ive got $100 on Davydenko and he's picking Nadal to pieces. He said he felt dizzy whilst playing Gulbis last night, Davydenko is taking full advantage and on a mission to hold onto the title. Currently 6-3 5-0 with Davy serving for the match....what an awesome day.

                                                          Awesome!! I'm hiding out in the bathroom so I don't wake my son. For sone reason my tennis apps aren't working so I have no clue what's going on. Did Nadal lose? I jumped on the fade train last night and again tonight and if he lost I just may cry from happiness.

                                                              Hi and welcome!

                                                              Taking -2.5 is basically the same as taking the handicap in basketball but we're working on tennis games.

                                                              For example if you took Tipsy -2.5 and he won 6-2 6-4 you would've cashed because he won 6 more games than Nishikori (6-2 = 4, 6-4 =2, 4+2 =6)

                                                              If you took Tipsy -2.5 and he won 7-6 3-6 6-4 you would've lost because although he won the match, the differential was 0. (7-6 =1, 3-6 =-3, 6-4 =2, 1-3+2=0)

                                                              Your player needs to win by more games than the spread if it's a -. With a dog, you get the + but their total games along with the + needs to be greater than the total number of games won by their opponent.

                                                              Hope that helps. If it's still a bit confusing, let me know and I'll try to explain it better. Best of luck with your bets.

But until the Aussie Open I'm not devoting a lot of time to tennis so I'm just kind of throwing them out there with a lot of disclaimers. I'd hate to tell someone I was on something without doing the work I usually do. The 3 I felt strongest about today I posted along with one extra in response to someone else. Best of luck

                                                                      i'm starting to wonder if fever has had *any* influence on him at all this week.... beside otherworldly prices!

But until the Aussie Open I'm not devoting a lot of time to tennis so I'm just kind of throwing them out there with a lot of disclaimers. I'd hate to tell someone I was on something without doing the work I usually do. The 3 I felt strongest about today I posted along with one extra in response to someone else. Best of luck
