Thank You tevari,Motavation can be a big factor then.I guess more so in this tourney with the Open starting in 6 days.Thanks Again BOL

That Dimitrov line has been slipping back and forth between that price. 10 cents isn't big especially when the prices are closer to a pick 'em where there will probably be lots of betting activity.

tevari · 08-23-11, 08:50 AM

this is EP's thread, but i'll bite...i think dimitrov will prevail today, he's definitely the better player, and watching him play against ferrer (whom he lost to in 3 very close sets) in cincy showed me that he, actually yes, cares about these types of tournaments. -121 is a good price IMO

One more Quali ...

Strode +130
This kid got a wildcard by winning a playoff to get into this and he sounds excited to get a shot. He won a quali on retirement here last year and lost a tight affair with Dodig in the next round. He draws Ciric who is a decent Challenger level clay court player, but not at all accustomed to the harder stuff. Strode has been getting his feet wet this summer with some Challengers and he's certainly not lost on this surface.

Should I take Davydenko with huge money?

That would be a good match to bet on.

OneTipster · 08-23-11, 10:50 AM

Thank you! I placed the bet.

tevari · 08-23-11, 10:53 AM

you didn't seriously put real money on davydenko did you? say a prayer if you did

OneTipster · 08-23-11, 10:56 AM

I already placed the bet.

Good bet. Did you bet on davydenko to just win or did you pick a handicap etc?

OneTipster · 08-23-11, 10:59 AM

Just win.

Hey man got any Winston-Salem Open picks?

beefcake · 08-23-11, 11:52 AM

Denko needs to win so I can go jeer that Fukker on Thursday..

EaglesPhan36 · 08-23-11, 01:43 PM

Yeah! DONKEY boy won easy. You should take some monopoly money with you and offer it to him Beef!

Well Blake played like absolute ass today. Did not expect that. Thought he would be locked in to have a good performance before the Open. Parlay shot as a result.

At least Dimitrov looking good to go with an early break in the 2nd and up a set.

EaglesPhan36 · 08-23-11, 01:54 PM

Now the moron can't win a point on his own serve.

Yes is very frustrating.

EaglesPhan36 · 08-23-11, 02:07 PM

That's why he hasn't lived up to his "promise" - his serve totally disappears from set to set. Of course, Young suffers the same thing. Dimitrov needs to hold it down early in the 3rd or he's going to get rolled.

Demonata · 08-23-11, 02:14 PM

What the heck is dimitrov doing?

EaglesPhan36 · 08-23-11, 02:15 PM

I think Clement is passing his WTA audition. Serving like an absolute bitch today.

Losing or trying his best to lose. He's really lacked consistency.

Demonata · 08-23-11, 02:16 PM

Dimitrov please escape out of this game.

Demonata · 08-23-11, 02:23 PM

That match is hopeless now.

BIG · 08-23-11, 02:38 PM

He really blew that one could had lead with serve. I wanna bang my head but well c he looks better

Demonata · 08-23-11, 02:49 PM

Wow how did dimitrov do so bad on that. He was serving for the match and sucked.

MrGambler · 08-23-11, 03:14 PM

Yes. Had 200 dineros on Young in the second before he made the break---for some reason cashed out when he started to play bad in 3 set. Placed the winning money on Dimitrov - couldnt watch the game (to nervous) and he won

Lucky day!

Thx M8!

What do you guys think of Anderson vs Harrison and Golubev vs Stakhovsky?

Edit: Hmmm it seems that Anderson never came to play...who the hell is Ducios....

I would pick Stakhovsky.

EaglesPhan36 · 08-23-11, 03:43 PM

I thought about Golubev. Stakhovsky has been pretty poor this season. Golubev is nothing special either though, but had found a little form lately. Not a great betting match.

EaglesPhan36 · 08-23-11, 03:48 PM

Cannot believe Dimitrov won.

EaglesPhan36 · 08-23-11, 03:50 PM

Adding ...

WTA New Haven: McHale-Suarez Navarro Over 20 [-115]

MrGambler · 08-23-11, 04:06 PM

Watch Golubev now - will not be surprised if the turns this one around and win like he did in the last match down 1 set...

Allen24 · 08-23-11, 05:08 PM

You think Navarro wins this match against Mchale?
