EP36's Tennis Things I THINK I THINK

Beason5209 · 03-25-11, 12:07 AM

What are your thoughts on Clijsters tomorrow? Obviously the line is so low because of her retiring last week. But I still can't see her losing this match. And if she has injury problems, I imagine she'd retire in this one too.

Would you bet this or even put it in parlays?

EaglesPhan36 · 03-25-11, 12:13 AM

I'd pass. The price even if she is win and whips the other girl is so large that you'd have to parlay too much in my opinion to get a decent payout.

Pew Pew · 03-25-11, 12:13 AM

Ehhh Strycova always screws me, but I like Malisse. What do you think about Ivanovic vs the old jap lady Krumm? Odds almost the same as Rad

Beason5209 · 03-25-11, 12:20 AM

One more. I was thinking about Fish tomorrow but don't know much about Benneteau. Having a tough year dropping all the way down to 80 but was ranked in the low 30s last summer. Didn't have a bad tournament last week either.

Thoughts?

Would think she's a solid shot since she beat Krumm handily last week & Krumm just doesn't look like she's doing much more than collecting a check at this point.

I think if Fish loses here, he is going to have a miserable year.

Sticking with Somdev to win today..although not as big as I thought...Before Indian wells he would have been +250 to 300 vs Raonic...respect now..

EaglesPhan36 · 03-25-11, 08:09 AM

Good luck. Avoiding that one personally.

EaglesPhan36 · 03-25-11, 09:48 AM

Looks like I caught Malisse on one of those days again where he decided he'd rather be doing something else.

EaglesPhan36 · 03-25-11, 10:22 AM

Edit: Maybe just stop period in tennis this week. Suckage.

EaglesPhan36 · 03-25-11, 10:27 AM

GGL-ANDERSON OVER 22 [-120]

I don't know why. Gut feeling and I haven't won a total in a long time. Due .... or just dead?

beefcake · 03-25-11, 12:01 PM

Almost there!

beefcake · 03-25-11, 12:02 PM

soda...

EaglesPhan36 · 03-25-11, 12:15 PM

Nice hit on the Flindian Beef. Holy hell, I get a win today on a total .. if they finish.

Wish I would have pounded Bellucci like I thought about, but he's such a flake - even against Blake, but he's whipping his ass. Think Blake is spent after going three vs. Russell.

beefcake · 03-25-11, 12:17 PM

Still going to take Somdev vs Ferrer(assuming he beats kunitsyn)..gots to be around +250 on this one or more..

betme · 03-25-11, 12:23 PM

what happen to your bet if a player is retired ?

EaglesPhan36 · 03-25-11, 12:25 PM

Biting on one more because I can't stop fading Querrey.

KUKUSHKIN +3 [-105]
Kuku isn't exactly on-fire, but he scored a first round win over Nieminen that should help build some confidence. He saved 11/13 break points, showing good mental strength in tight spots. Querrey played decently in Indian Wells last week, but got walloped by Robredo to end things. He's never been outstanding in Miami with a 3-5 mark. Not impossible that Kuku would snatch an upset today if he can shore his serve up a tad, but I'll go conservative with the handicap in the hope that he'll at least cover it in a tight two setter.

Depends on your sportsbook. 5Dimes counts action after one completed set. Others will only count if the match is completed in full. Check your book's rules.

betme · 03-25-11, 12:28 PM

my books says "MATCHUPS MUST BE FULLY COMPLETED FOR ACTION"

so if a player i'm betting on looses and retired before 2nd set, i get my money back ?

I'm riding the Dev train too Beefcake. His game is just good, but I love his temperament.

Anyone who saw him against Nadal last week is probably ruining the expected high odds for us. Based on that match, he really should be fave over Ferrer, on form alone.

Yeah your bet would be cancelled.

EaglesPhan36 · 03-25-11, 01:54 PM

Good for James Blake. Now I know why I avoided Bellucci after all. Back-2-back wins for Blake for the 1st time in forever. He's going to get killed next match though.

Pew Pew · 03-25-11, 02:24 PM

Wow of course I skip the easiest win of the day (Radwanka) and replace her with the two most frustrating players (Wawrinka and Verdasco). Fucck My Friday.

Wawrinka down two break points... you twat.

edit: wow.... wawrinka won't even win a service game in the first set... get your shit together lil bitch.

EaglesPhan36 · 03-25-11, 02:46 PM

Wawrinka is really someone to avoid. I've read some stuff surrounding his divorce earlier this year and I think he's probably mentally not checked-in right now.

Optional · 03-25-11, 02:52 PM

Wish I had had a lash on Bogomolov +800. Murray is imploding. Wonder if he will ever get his mojo back. Seems like he needs a big break from the tour to re-group.

Pew Pew · 03-25-11, 03:15 PM

Wow Verdasco chokes once again. I had a feeling I should have faded him ever since he lost to Milos twice and begin talking shit. +1040 would have been a NICE payout. Mother fuccker.

And I just want to back hand slap Wawrinka and tell him stop being a lil bitch.

beefcake · 03-25-11, 03:24 PM

Playing dog round robins since wed could have netted you money for the next 5 years..

EaglesPhan36 · 03-25-11, 03:27 PM

Cannot remember a tournament where this many HUGE ML dogs cashed on the same day .. hell the whole tournament. Wow.

Optional · 03-25-11, 03:32 PM

Anyone game to follow the streak and take Istomen +1500 against Djoko?

*Edit: couldnt help myself Paolo Lorenzi +800 vs Richard Gasquet .5u

reformed · 03-25-11, 03:38 PM

should gasquet really be this much of a favorite ever...even against a random itf player(not calling lorenzi one). I have the same feeling about this as I had about mannario , way too much chalk. It just sucks you can only get +800 on a -1300 fave

beefcake · 03-25-11, 03:44 PM

Nothing is a bad bet in this tourney..I say go for it..

reformed · 03-25-11, 03:58 PM

optional I'm with you on lorenzi, I was thinking of reason why gasquet why will win this match 9 out of 10 times and I couldnt come up with any.

sharlataans · 03-25-11, 03:58 PM

Took Granollers +200 in live betting. Hope for an upset

reformed · 03-25-11, 04:10 PM

books are scared....the quota on lorenzi is crashing down and where it isnt crashing, it is off

EaglesPhan36 · 03-25-11, 04:30 PM

The only one I would not bet against is Djokovic. He's playing way too well to lose to a schmuck like Lorenzi. Funny all the dogs are getting play now because of the upsets, probably means the favorites roll the rest of the day and take people's money.

Kohlschreiber would be the one I would look at over Del Potro.

Brian891 · 03-25-11, 05:24 PM

whats the feeling on isner? does he match up well with andreev? want to sprinkle a bit on this but wavering which side. like isner, but does it being in the u.s. boost isner at all? is andreev a good underdog pick here?
