These players know the lines for sure and you can bet Murray wants to show Vegas he should have been a -200 fav. For the Federer match I really think Roger wins in straight sets going away.

**BET THE HOOK** · 08-13-10, 01:09 PM

Murray has his foot on the gas and Ivanovic has an early lead but Wickmayer must have fell and broke her vagina. She just QUIT.

**Yezzir** · 08-13-10, 01:31 PM

Couldn't believe the books when Murray was a dog, that was easy money.

**BET THE HOOK** · 08-14-10, 12:40 AM

Federer was a lock for me too. I think he wins out now.

Fed in 3 indeed, JUST.

Had him doubled up with Sharapova, nearly added Djokovic, but he's burned me so many times, I layed off, bad move really, he continues to own Chardy.

325-81 with 27 DOG WINNERS and 18 DOG LOSERS after cashing Federer,Sharapova,'n Murray as the kicker.

**mav924** · 08-15-10, 01:39 AM

Well done. Good luck today

**BET THE HOOK** · 08-15-10, 10:08 AM

I think Federer hammers Murray even though Andy is a slight favorite and Sharapova has no chance today after the way she played yesterday. She looked exhausted.

**BET THE HOOK** · 08-16-10, 12:07 AM

Man am I lucky I didn't get my action down today. Spent the day house hunting and was pissed that - couldn't wager but now I am real glad.

**Brian891** · 08-16-10, 12:37 AM

**Brian891** · 08-17-10, 03:53 AM

Good luck! Following u to cash as always! Curious as to why u are betting against fish. I follow eaglesphans thread and he likes fish. Just seeing why u 2 differ on this one.

**Yezzir** · 08-17-10, 04:40 AM

1 of the most underrated cappers.

**papitopapita** · 08-17-10, 04:46 AM

good stuff going here bet the hook!

**BET THE HOOK** · 08-17-10, 09:18 AM

I am just feeling really good about Simon and Gasquet lately because they slumped for a while and both are on the way back up in the rankings with a bullet. Gasquet was top 10 in the world for a while and hit the skids but is a hammer now again. He reminds me of Soderling and I have been a Simon fan since I watched him win a marathon match on a limping and damned near broken leg against Monfils(I think). eaglesphans is a solid capper and so is TennisBabe so maybe compare our picks and take the common ones and if you dont like the other just watch those matches with a bowl of popcorn. I feel good about them and I gave hit alot of dogs lately. Most of my dog losers were a while back and I have caught lightning in a bottle alot lately but any capper can miss one too so go with your gut.

Also thanks for the good words fron the last 4 posters. It keeps us motivated to get our picks post everyday when we know players are waiting for them. I work 90-100 hours a week so I have to fit computer time where I can.

**BET THE HOOK** · 08-17-10, 04:43 PM

13-3 so far today. Hope yall followed on Gasquet. Simon should have won too. I added Jankovic as a play late too

**BET THE HOOK** · 08-18-10, 12:07 AM

Another good day. Gonna hammer Bookmaker tomorrow

**BET THE HOOK** · 08-18-10, 06:16 AM

454-89 WITH 29 DOG WINNERS and 20 DOG LOSERS

Plays for today are: Nadal,Federer,Wawrinka,Kohlshreiber,Davy denko,Gasquet,Murray,Soderling,Roddick,D jokovic,Bartoli,Clijsters,Wickmayer,Radw anska,Kuznetsova,Pennetta,Dementieva,and my dogs are,Kirilenko,Isner,Melzer,Verdasco,Patt y Schnyder,Safina and Ferrer and to honest most of the dogs should have been slight favs in my opinion.

I really like the dogs Patty Schnyder,Verdasco,Isner and Melzer alot. Patty has made me alot this year and I hope it continues. Happy Hunting.

**shari91** · 08-18-10, 06:27 AM

Just a quick question - I notice you post a lot of massive favourites and I was just wondering, when you post very big favourites like Nadal and Federer for example, should we be assuming that you're laying the chalk to win a unit? If not, how are you actually betting them? Sorry if I missed the answer to that somewhere in your thread.

Thanks and best of luck.

**WIZARDOFBEANTOWN** · 08-18-10, 06:31 AM

good luck hook

A lot of the time I parlay the favs if they are too high and even play if wins to get more bang for my buck. Today has started really good with a couple of dogs winning. Let's keep it going.

**BET THE HOOK** · 08-19-10, 01:54 AM

Padded the balance as promised and Thursday looks good too. Stay tuned.

**Wilforth** · 08-19-10, 06:42 AM

Staying tuned.

**BET THE HOOK** · 08-19-10, 07:53 AM

Good day yesterday. Today I like Federer,Nadal,Murray,Pennetta,Bartoli,Zv onareva,Azarenka,and my dogs are Gasquet as usual and Bagdhatis looks good for some reason.

**WIZARDOFBEANTOWN** · 08-19-10, 07:57 AM

good luck hook

**BET THE HOOK** · 08-19-10, 08:09 AM

Add Dementieva,Clijsters,and 2 more dogs in Radwanska and Roddick.I would like to back Davydenko but he has sucked for 2 or 3 months. Also sorry that Blackberry scatters some of my text on posts but I wanted to get these up.

**JNic** · 08-19-10, 08:14 AM

i really dont know about roddick. soderling looks like account bet material even at -160.
i like davydenko at +130, everyone in the world is on ferrer because davy somehow lost that 2nd set with ginepri. i watched davy, he was solid, although ferrer looked great against querrey. davydenko shouldn't be +130 though

**BET THE HOOK** · 08-19-10, 10:55 PM

11-3 TODAY and Cashed in with dog Roddick and Bagdhatis was the big one. I still have Safina playing now too.
383-97 Overal with 35 DOG WINNERS and 25 DOG LOSERS.
I really hope you guys followed on Roddick and Bags. I was scared to follow you JNIC on Davydenko because he always screws me but thanks for that one.
Gonna give it hell again tomorrow. Off tomorrow so I will post plays early.

**Yezzir** · 08-20-10, 04:16 AM

I tailed you on Roddick.

Missed Baggy though

You're killing this sh1t atm BTH.

Gotta ride it until it bucks us off and then find a way back on.
Today I like:Murray,Nadal,Wozniacki,Kuznetsova,t he dogs I like are Bartoli+190,Zvonareva+220,Roddick+155,an d I am leaning towards a small play on Davydenko+285 because this is about the point of the last few tournaments that Roger gets lazy and quits. He wont be really be motivated until the US Open. I just have a feelink here but the other dogs are the stronger plays. This is hard for me to say too because I am a huge Federer fan and another reason is because he sat on his ass and didnt play yesterday so I am looking for the let down.

Happy Hunting

**Yezzir** · 08-20-10, 08:25 AM

Atm, i'm LOVING Roddick, great dog, the price has risen on him a bit, he's now up to +162.

But he's playing himself into form and always plays well against Djokovic, leading the H2H.

**BET THE HOOK** · 08-20-10, 02:37 PM

[COLOR=#000000 !important]I think everybody got real lucky on the match because when Murray was up 4-2 on the tiebreak the review showed that durin the point that gave Fish thepoint and made it 4-3 he hit a ball out but Murray played through it so it wasnt called. That would have gave Murray a commanding 5-2 lead on the tiebreak. The commentators even showed the ball out and said it was a huge miss by the officials. Glad for everybody who cashed in though. I doubled up on Roddick to make back what I lost on Murray.[/COLOR]
