EP36's Tennis Things I THINK I THINK

Foggy · 11-02-11, 10:47 AM

I think I got lucky on that Ferrer break and you not so much. At 40-0 pretty sure Pososil hit an ace down the T -called out, definitely looked like it hit the middle of the tape

EaglesPhan36 · 11-02-11, 10:56 AM

Doesn't matter. Up 40-0 or 40-15, you gotta close out a game if you want to compete. Wasn't to be.

Also could not talk myself off of it ...

ATP Basel
Nieminen +5 [-125]

Hip didn't bother him and he reported no pain after the match with Bellucci. Expecting Federer to win, but on this surface if Jarkko gets his first serve in enough - I think he can stick within this number.

Boxing Champ · 11-02-11, 12:22 PM

Nieminen is shitting his pants.....

BrianLaverty · 11-02-11, 12:31 PM

Anyone else like Giraldo today? Stepanek is in bad form all of a sudden after having a great couple of months.... and I really like how Giraldo has looked the past few tourneys.

Boxing Champ · 11-02-11, 12:36 PM

Nieminen is coming back...

gators0708 · 11-02-11, 01:04 PM

Valencia desperatly needs hawkeye.. Ferrer and Ferrero are part owners of the tournament, they shouldnt even be allowed to play in it.

Boxing Champ · 11-02-11, 01:06 PM

What's Hawkeye???

showtiime · 11-02-11, 01:15 PM

Was on jarkko +6, basically called it a loss first set, realllly wish he didn't give up that 2nd break in this set, would've almost been counting my money, today has been realllll good regardless! need jarkko to keep within the number for a 5-0 day

Ericg320 · 11-02-11, 01:18 PM

Had Fed -1.5 sets to end my 3 player parlay!

Like it.

Was looking at it before but was too much of a bitch to pull the trigger, didn't even play him on the handicap, just started so i'm gonna wait for some live action.

So jarkko handi ends up being a push, (for me) oh well, can't win em all.

So glad I bought it up to +6 though.

EaglesPhan36 · 11-02-11, 02:18 PM

Yeah that first set really put the handicap behind the 8 ball. Still could have pushed even on the 5 I had if he could have kept the third set closer for a while. Oh well, was still a good bet for me at the end of the day just a little unlucky.

See Giraldo got beat up in the 1st set. Did not like that match at all. Stepanek has better game suited to the surface, but his last match left a lot to be desired as far as wondering how he would hold up today. Giraldo generally not good on the indoor stuff.

showtiime · 11-02-11, 03:50 PM

Yeah stayed away once stepanek got on top, glad I bitched out.

Need flopez to serve out this 2nd set to go clean 5-0 today.

Also have an 8 teamer pending with man city and with bayern both 2 goals up at HT, also have united win to nil, it's looking good, I probably just jinxed myself though.
If this hits will be up over 28 units for the day

When it rains it pours... I hope

MUHerd37 · 11-02-11, 05:02 PM

Lopez lost in 3.

showtiime · 11-02-11, 05:09 PM

Why did I play lopez, stupidest play, completely jinxed that, was up a break in the 2nd, and loses it, pathetic in the breaker in the 3rd, ruined a perfect day.

Parlay payout took a bit of a dent because I had bayern -1, ended up being a push.

Oh well, can't complain, i sleep now

ATP Basel
Ljubicic -125

Parlay: Tsonga + Cilic [-105]

Krypt · 11-02-11, 09:36 PM

what do you think about delpo-anderson?

EaglesPhan36 · 11-02-11, 09:59 PM

See about the same as their previous encounters. DelPo is better, but the match should be close.

Krypt · 11-02-11, 09:59 PM

I went big on a cilic-delpo parlay hopefully it works out

Spanks · 11-02-11, 11:31 PM

Ljubi has a strong record against ljubi, should be a winner. Parlay looks gd. GL

brandoc · 11-03-11, 02:43 AM

I like ljubo against the unpredictable mayer - great odds at nearly evens.

blackbeSSt · 11-03-11, 08:01 AM

well, jo-willy is looking to piss in our corn flakes to start the day

jrw · 11-03-11, 08:03 AM

Querrey has a really good serve, but eventually Tsonga will get a break off of him. He definitely won't win 2 TB's in a row if it goes to another one this set.

blackbeSSt · 11-03-11, 08:11 AM

and theres the last waggle of the rooster to get the last drip of piss in the morning corn flakes

EaglesPhan36 · 11-03-11, 08:15 AM

That's life betting these late season tourneys. Desire/motivation is hard to gauge. Not like Tsonga has been terrible .. just not good enough.

jrw · 11-03-11, 08:18 AM

That should do it. All over now.

jrw · 11-03-11, 08:18 AM

Tsonga had 2 BP's to pull back even, and wasted them. Unless Sam gets careless, it's over.

rumple · 11-03-11, 08:27 AM

Shocked to see Querry play so well, i guess hes rounding back into form.

Pride · 11-03-11, 08:44 AM

what was your reasoning for taking ljubicic?

just curious

EaglesPhan36 · 11-03-11, 08:47 AM

If his serve is on, he's unbreakable. That was what he looked like in Round 1. Mayer is inconsistent as hell. Of course the Old Man is in shit mode right now.

EaglesPhan36 · 11-03-11, 10:36 AM
