I'm still sweating this one.

Stupid cross-eyed bitch, Almagro. I didn't want to bet him, but most people liked him over Melzer today. He made Melzer look like ******* Nadal.

EaglesPhan36 · 04-14-11, 11:05 AM

Fatigue was a possibility from yesterday, but Almagro has fought through matches before and won. This has been a very hard tournament from a betting standpoint.

koscheckbaby · 04-14-11, 11:08 AM

Yeah. No one likes laying heavy juice. But it seems massive upsets don't happen on clay like hard. I should have left Almagro off Federer, Nadal, Ferrer parlays. Take the small winnings each day, as opposed to some shit like this.

EaglesPhan36 · 04-14-11, 11:13 AM

Here comes the Irish choke.

EaglesPhan36 · 04-14-11, 11:23 AM

And there it is. Up a break in the 3rd set until 4-3, loses last three games. When Kuznetsov loses next, I am done for awhile. This is brutal and pointless.

koscheckbaby · 04-14-11, 11:43 AM

I got too many anxiety and anger issues for tennis betting consistantly. I don't know how you guys do it, even in winning. Nothing upsets me more than to watch a stream and see someone I bet on making UEs or their opponent pumping their fist in celebration. Either I hate the player I bet on for sucking or I hate the opposing player for playing well.

I got into a big fight with my girl during the Ferrer-Murray AO match. I bet on Murray and was getting pissed off Ferrer wasn't going away.

EaglesPhan36 · 04-14-11, 11:45 AM

It comes in waves. When you win in tennis consistently for a bit, you feel invincible. When you get in a rut like I am in right now ... you don't see the point of betting this sport with so many other options. I love tennis though which is my downfall, always brings me back at some point.

EaglesPhan36 · 04-14-11, 11:57 AM

Alright time for Kuznetsov to fukk me. Let's go!

shari91 · 04-14-11, 12:08 PM

koscheck, tennis betting really isn't for the faint hearted, especially if you're going to watch the matches. I always tell people in my thread who get really stressed out just to make their bets and check back in a few hours. It'll do your head in sweating out every point, even if you eventually win the match.

EaglesPhan36 · 04-14-11, 12:35 PM

You cannot pick any worse than I am right now. Kuznetsov can't even win a game. Oh well, tennis vacation time for me. See you guys some time later in the year maybe ... or maybe I can stop this disgusting habit.

Didn't the down swing start about the time you took on that avatar? ;-)

vincanity15 · 04-14-11, 12:50 PM

Kuznetsov retires to save us

EaglesPhan36 · 04-14-11, 12:52 PM

Doesn't save me. I'm at a one set book. Great time to go focus on other sports. Good luck to you guys and gals, but my money is better invested in other sports at this point.

Optional - I actually have been on a good roll in other sports with this av.

shari91 · 04-14-11, 01:06 PM

I'm sad to see you quit but I don't blame you. If other sports are making you money right now, there's no point pissing it back on the clay season.

I'll be running a big contest for the French in case you feel like a bit of degen action that won't cost you any cash.

Best of luck

h1holstrom · 04-14-11, 02:03 PM

Today Almagro was pure trash!!!

Oh I'm sure I'll be back. Just takes a few wins in other sports to build the bankroll back and then I'll fall prey to my dirty lover tennis again.

If almagro and Ferrer are not in nadals half of the FO draw,what do you guys think of taking them both to make the final?

EaglesPhan36 · 04-14-11, 09:37 PM

Hard to fathom either getting there since they never have before. I think Almagro's fitness will always be a detriment in Grand Slams. You got to the quarters or semis, you're going to be going against a Top 5 guy likely who is much fitter than you. Considering one of them would likely have to beat Djokovic or Federer to get to a final, I don't see it.

By the way, even though I will not be picking, I will be keeping up with tennis so I am open to discussing tennis at any time. I dig the sport, just that the results don't dig me at this point.

h1holstrom · 04-15-11, 03:37 AM

Any picks today? Thank you and GL

Hope to see you back soon EP - you´re know your tennis that´s for sure and i´m sure you´re start hitting again after a bit of a break

h1holstrom · 04-17-11, 02:54 AM

I 'll bet Nadal to win 2-0 sets. GL

EaglesPhan36 · 04-17-11, 11:50 PM

Quitters Pick #1: Dennis Istomin +190

I'm using monopoly $$$ only. Istomin is an untrustable rollercoaster scumbag. That's why he should win.

He's baaaaaaaack!!

I've got him sitting in my pending bets and he's been there for close to 2hrs. I'm finding it really hard to risk my cash on this fool.

sharlataans · 04-18-11, 05:02 AM

Guys, what do you think about crazy chalk parlay:

Bartoli to win (against Pironkova) + Li to win (against Sevastova) pays around +122

I expect Li to come out serious. How good is Sevastova on clay? She is a small girl, it should suit her better than fast courts??

Probably a bad play, what do you think?

beefcake · 04-18-11, 06:29 AM

shari has sevastova in her sheet! That means its a good play!

Thanks! Glad I did not go for this bet eventually. I will contemplate OVER in Sevastova vs. Li that game then.

GL on your play bud

I hate him & don't trust him, but it was a good price against a guy who has not been very good either. Battle of the Turds! I'm just going to pick this week with my monopoly money and see how poorly it plays out.

EaglesPhan36 · 04-18-11, 11:18 AM

Good WTA match between these two schmucks. Quitters Plays = Fading GOLD!

h1holstrom · 04-18-11, 12:08 PM

Bad loss for Istomin. Bu monopoly $$$, so....

EP, did you see the soar of odds in Gimeno-Traver, D vs Starace, P ? From -200 all the way to -129.

What happened in your opinion?

sharlataans · 04-19-11, 04:37 AM

Shit looks like a fixed match

sharlataans · 04-19-11, 04:54 AM
