So many upsets already... almost time for me to take a break from tennis.

**EaglesPhan36** · 01-17-11, 09:20 AM

1st day of Slams can kill your spirit if you make either a lot of bets or wind up on the losing end of some upsets. Just remember there's always the next day. The people who seem to wind up most pissed are the ones who go for the big chalk parlays with way too many selections included. Good luck today Staco! Get that money back.

**Stacocakes** · 01-17-11, 01:01 PM

Well Raonic has moved from -108 yesterday I BELIEVE to -146 now.Will pass on him

Lopez's line has been coming down alot. Believe there are injury concerns with him coming into this tournament. Stay away from that match

JMDP was -275 most of the week and he has come down to a more reasonable -230 but I will still pass on him.Not really sure how he will perform here.

Was looking through the players to throw into a parlay and I believe I am going to call this parlay the "headcase" parlay. All 3 players are boom or bust and I am going to HOPE that they are boom for today

Added play

Cilic/Gulbis/Jankovic +174

The price of this parlay is what hooked me in.I will be honest. I know that Jankovic is in horrible form winning only 2 of her last 10

Her opponent Alla Kudryavtseva has lost 5 of her last 6 matches so I am sure this will be a great match haha. Cilic is playing Donald Young who has done absolutely nothing. I remember how ESPN would always hype him as the NEXT BIG THING but all he does is lose. Cilic has been piss poor for awhile now but this is a good opponent to help him get back on the winning track.

Best of luck today guys.Will probably have more plays as the day goes on.Hoping I can somehow make it to the Hewitt/Nalbandian match before falling asleep because I have a feeling that it's going to be an epic five setter. Hope everyone makes some money

cilic gets it done

**MUHerd37** · 01-17-11, 06:03 PM

I'm with you Staco. Added a couple people to that parlay.

**Stacocakes** · 01-17-11, 06:30 PM

Nice Muherd.Let's cash this

No doubt. Could be some close matches there.

**MUHerd37** · 01-17-11, 07:37 PM

Kvitova looking good for me.

**Stacocakes** · 01-17-11, 07:48 PM

Nothing earth shattering yet happening

bah

**Stacocakes** · 01-17-11, 07:55 PM

Bammer looks very similar to stosur

**MUHerd37** · 01-17-11, 07:58 PM

Youzhny started good. Need him.

**Stacocakes** · 01-17-11, 08:00 PM

How is Youzhny's health? Doesn't sound like he is at 100%

**MUHerd37** · 01-17-11, 08:13 PM

I honestly have no idea.

**MUHerd37** · 01-17-11, 08:20 PM

Right now they are showing nothing but matches that nobody really cares about.

**Stacocakes** · 01-17-11, 08:41 PM

Seems Daniel always plays Rafa. With these ridiculous odds that they put up in the first rounds it makes me want to put 5 bucks on the dogs once in awhile and hope for an injury win haha

**Stacocakes** · 01-17-11, 08:45 PM

Cilic breaks first game

**Stacocakes** · 01-17-11, 08:54 PM

Youzhny cruising.He must be ok.

Radwanska down a break in the third

**MUHerd37** · 01-17-11, 09:06 PM

Surprising cause radwanska came out strong

**Stacocakes** · 01-17-11, 09:07 PM

Radwanska looks toast.Injury must be creeping up on her

Nadal is serving bagels today.

Schwank/Mayer was the battle of losing streaks. Believe Mayer had a 9 match losing streak and Schwank had an 8 match losing streak.Schwank wins

Tomic wins infront of the home crowd over Chardy....who liked tomic?Was that you Kingsr? Good call

**MUHerd37** · 01-17-11, 09:07 PM

Melzer with an early break. Need him.

**MUHerd37** · 01-17-11, 09:08 PM

Kirilenko is looking good early. Need her.

**MUHerd37** · 01-17-11, 09:11 PM

Line on Ferrer seems to have risen a lot. -550 to -645 now.

**MUHerd37** · 01-17-11, 09:12 PM

I'm liking Schnyder tonight. Any thoughts?

**Stacocakes** · 01-17-11, 09:20 PM

I've bet schynder alot in the past and she always ***** me. I try not to bet her anymore. I would pass personally on that one. Better matches out there

radwanska had an injury timeout and got one of the breaks back

Peng beats Bondarenko in 3

Cilic up a set over Young.No real surprise there.Young is so bad

**mlb** · 01-17-11, 09:23 PM

muherd, i am also. think the crafty vet gets it done tonight

**MUHerd37** · 01-17-11, 09:27 PM

Youzhny won. Didn't want to see it going to a 4th set after what all happened yesterday. Daniel retired against Nadal.

**Stacocakes** · 01-17-11, 09:31 PM

Daniel didn't want to get triple bageled

Lopez cruising.Heard he was injured so I stayed away and he is beating down Falla of course

**Stacocakes** · 01-17-11, 09:35 PM

Jankovic needs to play with a bag on her head seriously now

**MUHerd37** · 01-17-11, 09:37 PM

Neither Radwanska or Date-Krumm want to win that match.

**Stacocakes** · 01-17-11, 09:40 PM

Cilic gets the break in the second set

another bp jankovic

Who did you add to the parlay muherd besides cilic,jankovic and gulbis?

**Stacocakes** · 01-17-11, 09:49 PM

Radwanska wins. FADE HER AFTER THIS

Jankovic beating down Kudry

Cilic up 2 sets

**Stacocakes** · 01-17-11, 09:51 PM

Nice racquet break there in the rad match hah. Good advertising

**Stacocakes** · 01-17-11, 09:55 PM

Stosur on.Hopefully she cruises

Jankovic playing sloppy here to start the second.Hopefully she isn't letting up.Finish her off

**MUHerd37** · 01-17-11, 09:57 PM

I added Nadal, Soderling, Murray, and Clijsters. Clijsters was prolly the only one that actually helped the value. But I can't see the others losing and I just love having action!

**MUHerd37** · 01-17-11, 09:58 PM

Ferrer match just started. Need Ferrer to win but Nieminen could prove a very tough opponent for him. I love the way Ferrer plays tho. One of my favorite players.
