EP36's Tennis Things I THINK I THINK

I have a tough time taking Murray unders unless he's going against a total schlep. He's like Nadal, always leaving break opps out there for guys to take if they can.

I normally avoid him too... in fact I can't even remember the last time I took a Murray total. But I was tossing up this one and the Tomic over go figure. I just didn't like Wawa's form coming in and Murray was playing out of his skin. So now he's on my avoid list again as far as set betting and totals are concerned. Announcers were yapping about the humidity and how Andy doesn't like it. I can't put my money on someone who's as frail as a rose petal with the mental stability of Britney Spears circa '08-09. Him and Lisicki should get together.

he threw that game

Mayer is a really smart player. He compensates physical disadvantages with smart and precise play. I am amazed!

I just want him to cover the +4. Anything beyond that is gravy. But Simon can throw clunkers out there... it's just a matter of players finding a way to hit past him. He doesn't have an answer for that.

Adding ...

"The Flodonis" Feliciano Lopez +320

Astros148 · 10-13-11, 06:28 AM

good luck! lopez did not look impressive at all yesterday, bolo missed alot of opportunities to win that game.

playing the over 21.5 in the berd game. wish me luck.

EaglesPhan36 · 10-13-11, 06:35 AM

Lopez wasted a lot of time yesterday when he could have made shorter work of Bogo. Blew a 4-2 lead in the 1st set where he could have cruised instead of expending energy into a tie break. Needs to cut down the double faults for sure. This is definitely my Smart or Dumb play of the day.

shari91 · 10-13-11, 06:40 AM

Ebden with the break! GO ON YOU BEAUTY!!!

Lopez isn't a dumb play. You know I love the guy. IF he can keep his serve in, he can take it. IF. GL

the over is a much much better play dont you think? berd is serving VERY good lately and so is lopez. dont see many breaks here

The over is a good play, keeping in mind I'm pretty whoreshit at totals. I just took Lopez +4 -102. Figured after looking at the match again to respond to EP, I may as well back my talk up with cash. GL to all of us... we can all win this one

sharlataans · 10-13-11, 06:48 AM

Wow, Nadal pulled it out. Unbelievable match. Mayer is a wizard!!!

best of luck! i dont see the o21.5 hitting without the +4 hitting so hopefully we all win!

EaglesPhan36 · 10-13-11, 06:51 AM

I'd certainly side over 21.5, but with Lopez double faults and low 1st serve percentage + Berdych's faulty shoulder, you never know when a short set might crop up.

Astros148 · 10-13-11, 06:52 AM

wow! mayer is playing amazing!

shari91 · 10-13-11, 06:54 AM

I just put a bit on Ebden +250 live. Maybe he'll feel my good vibes out there.

Astros148 · 10-13-11, 06:57 AM

im so sick of every announcer sucking nadals dick all the time , gets so annoying. mayer is laying just as good tennis in this set then nadal if not better and he gets zero credit for his play. god damn

Yeah I had a bit of a groan when the announcer said something like "unfortunately this is where Mayer's run will end" or whatever. The only time the bias is good is when you're on Nadal 2-0 in a match. Everything else is annoying and over the top.

EaglesPhan36 · 10-13-11, 07:03 AM

Nadal > You

rumple · 10-13-11, 07:04 AM

Damn Ebden choking.

Astros148 · 10-13-11, 07:06 AM

Oh wow. What a fuckin tennis match!

sharlataans · 10-13-11, 07:06 AM

I am a fan of Mayer from now on

sharlataans · 10-13-11, 07:08 AM

Man, that chinese linesman had his pants full when called Nadal out. Mayer takes it

shari91 · 10-13-11, 07:08 AM

4th f'n match point. COME ON YOU PRICK.

Astros148 · 10-13-11, 07:08 AM

shari91 · 10-13-11, 07:08 AM

Woohooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!! YES!!!! EBDEN YOU LEGEND

(sorry for derailing your thread EP... I've let mine die as you know since I don't have time to keep up with it)

BUT YES EBDENNNNNNNNN!!!!!!

rumple · 10-13-11, 07:08 AM

Finally Ebden!

EaglesPhan36 · 10-13-11, 07:09 AM

Nice hit on Ebden.

Mayer is a tool at the end of the day. Guy has these flashes of brilliance. You'll want to back him big either in the next match or next tournament thinking he's a sure thing and he'll fukk you. Guaranteed.

sharlataans · 10-13-11, 07:09 AM

Shari congrats on Ebden win!!!

He won that clay court tourney where he's most comfortable. On hard courts, he'd done next to nothing since early in the year. I've seen plenty of this guy over the years and he's got the game to do well when his head is on straight, but he's definitely one I will look to fade if they over value him in his next match.

Astros148 · 10-13-11, 07:23 AM

playing lopez over 21.5, lets all win big on this game as well!! seems like we've been doing really well lately as a whole. thats like it
