Year long tennis thread

[gregm]

I like roddick tonight, though the over may be worth looking at as well. I am still a believer that roddick will have a great year and if this could be a great tournament to win for him if he can stop Novak . He needs to get past isner first tonight

roddick -risk 100 to win 40$

[THA_DIESEL]

Like the bet, I think Roddick wins easily

[gregm]

Thanks diesel, don't count roddick out just yet this year

[gregm]

looking at this canadian Milos Raonic as well. the odds are awful but would be a great parlay with roddick. Raonic is one of the most impressive guys I have seen on the tour in some while

[gregm]

Adding Roddick-Raonic parlay 100$ to win 81$

[gregm]

Can't believe raonic lost yesterday, seems harder to recognize the next big thing in atp or even wta. We will see how he improves this year.

record 1-1 -60$

I love ivanovic today, I saw that match yesterday afternoon against jankovic and she looked like ivanovic of old. Would normally take the value with bartoli but not after watching how Ana played yesterday

ivanovic 175 to win 100

[gregm]

record 1-2 -135$

pitiful.

should have bet the dogs in this tourney and the sad thing is all I like tomorrow are heavy favorites. djokovic, fed, woz and my bet for the day

sharapova-200 to make up for some of these losses. Sharapova seems way too powerful for peng in rallies , of course I saw roddick as an easy pick tonight so what do I know

risk 200 to win 100

God

[gregm]

record 2-2 -35$

Liking Federers chances today against Wawrinka but after watching fed against Harrison I dont like this wager enough to take a game handicap. Woz is just the most steady and stable player on the wta tour right now. No major injuries, shows up for every tourney she is in, she deserves her number 1 ranking. Sharapova has a decent shot today at he upset, should be a great match.

wozniacki-federer parlay 100 to win 63

[gregm]

alright back in the saddle, to some extent ,LOL

3-2 +28$

I wont do this often and fade nadal but I am playing the value on del potro. Even if Nadal wins and there is a very good chance he may, these odds are ridiculous

Especially after watching him struggle against karlovic and that serve and have problems with his own serve, the value is clearly on del potro. Del potro won't let him off the hook, if del potro were 100% back in fighting form I believe this would be closer to -160 or -170 nadal

these odds are ridiculous

del portro +180 100 to win 180$

djokovic -164 164 to win 100$

[gregm]

Difference between a champion is attitude and nadal is all fire and del potro just hung his head after controlling the first set but giving back the break. I cant believe karlovic took nadal 3 sets to a tiebreaker and del potro couldn't even threaten him after the first set. I hope del potro can regain form, very few young players in either atp or wta really impress me much, but he did at one time. Hope he regains form

I like nole in this match tomorrow but won't bet it, like I posted in another thread about nole-nadal

Great match to watch but I wouldn't bet any lfunds on it with so much on deck tomorrow

I do like Woz in a parlay with Duke ml, Ohio state ml, Kansas ml is -115.

Wozniacki -4.5 games is too risky for me in a 3 set tourney,

I don't see duke ,buckeyes or kansas losing tomorrow but we will see

parlay- risk 115 to win 100$

record 4-3 +28$

[gregm]

adding djokovic -130 to win 100

The more I post about this the more I like novak. We won't see low odds on him if he continues to play the way he has been playing this year

[gregm]

5-3 + 228

like rochus here today, tough call on these qualifying matches.

rochus -105 risk 105 to win 100

[gregm]

6-3+328$

I hate tomorrows card. Everything starts thursday, in tennis and basketball.

The only value tomorrow I see is in a parlay, I won't be laying games in tennis this early in miami at the awful numbers out there

davydenko/del potro/kerber -129

risk 129 to win 100

[gregm]

6-4 +199$

Davydenko has hit rock bottom, I am shocked to see his play this year. Todays game was not even close

Following Nick Bollettieri's pick off Nicks Picks on this one. Karlovic trained with Bollettieri and I was also really impressed with Karlovic at Indian wells. I watched two of his matches and I really thought he could have beaten Nadal. He seems to be playing with alot of confidence and that serve should be too much for Mayer.

karlovic- 165

risk 165 to win 100$

[gregm]

6-5 + 34

thanks Dr. Ivo. I Hate todays card, only thing I see is a parlay

all look easy wins to me so I am sure one will screw it up

murray/ivanovic/ ferrer/kansas cbb -120

120 to win 100

[gregm]

6-6 -114$

murray , unreal . to think both australian open finalists, murray and li na havent won a game since. Great

try again with roddick/petkovic/woz -112 risk 112 to win 100

[gregm]

6-7-216$

And the losing continues. LOL. What a week, Davydenko, Murray and now Roddick at a tourney he won last year. At least Roddick didn't look well yesterday so that may explain the loss, the Murray match was unfathomable to me.

My favorite pick is zvonereva with the spread -4.5 but going to choose the safer wager I made for posting on sbr .

clijsters/zvonereva/djokovic/kansas cbb
-120 risk 240 to win 200

[gregm]

6-8-456$

Comical. Kansas loses in Cbb to VCU and blows my parlay. What a week, Davydenko, MURRAY!, Roddick ( though he wasn't 100%, he did win this tourney last year) and now Kansas all lose my parlays. The most solid parts of the parlays! I love parlays in these opening rounds of tournaments like this, but this week has been atrocious.

I actually won the pick I said I like the best, with Zvonereva dominating and covering the spread but, of course, I post the parlay

Today

isner -2 -110 risking 330 to win 300$

djokovic -6 -110 risk 55 to win 50$

I am thinking mayer +2.5 but I doubt will put any money down on it.

Del Potro looks solid tomorrow but I hate laying 5 against fish and these parlays are killing me, may post with djokovic, del potro and clijsters but I want to read some tomorrow on Clijsters performance in this tourney and her form, is she 100%?

Very little video from Miami online. Strange tourney to wager on.

[gregm]

try this again. adding jankovic -2.5 -115 risk 230 to win 200

[gregm]

7-9 -966$

There isn't much today I like which is probably a good thing after this week. These courts are like clay and Ferrer has dropped just 12 games in 6 sets this week.I am not playing the spread, I think this may be close though as fish has been playing great this tourney, he is the best male player in the US right now and could surpass Roddick in the ranking if he beats Ferrer.. Pretty big play for me but there is nothing much else to bet on today in tennis.

ferrer/djokovic/denver ml nba -155 risk 465 to win 300

[gregm]

nice start. LOL

adding clijsters/denver/memphis parlay 300 to win 204

clijsters/oregon ducks -2.5 first half (cbb) 300 to win 521

[gregm]

I am ice cold and tennis is killing my bankroll, needed a good streak for baseball season and I have been losing consistently, in tennis at least. Won my big bet on oregon forst half but miami has dented my bankroll tremendously going into baseball

But I still love watching tennis.

tomorrow, probably more lost money, especially on my favorite day of the betting year, but I love petkovic, that should be all you need to know to jump on sharapova

-125 risk 375 to win 300

[gregm]

7-13 -2406

Wait for it , waiiiiiiit for it , waiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit for it

here it is, djokovic/phillies/colorado LOL

400 to win 523

[gregm]

Nadal -150 risking 400

azarenka -155 risking 250

[gregm]

I am sorry , djokovic at +105 at betus right now. Too good to pass up a player in form like this, especially on hard courts

risk 400

[gregm]

Tough calls today. Jie zheng has been atrocious this year but if you look at her record , she has lost to some good opponents. Puig has really beaten no one of any note this year. Zheng should win this but the -3.5 spread is a little too much on a two setter and with her poor form recently

zhen/peng parlay 277 to win 200

[gregm]

Been winning lately, Miami was a bust for me. I am glad clay season is here.

I wish I could make it to daniel island and charleston to watch the ladies play. This weather is great , and that area is a great place to see a match, right near the ocean.

a small play on blake purely based on value. I don't understand this line

blake +150 risk 100

[gregm]

won 5 straight on here, that won't last.I will update record tonight. Lets see what happens today. I really like karlovic today and going to put him on a parlay with 3 ladies who look like easy winners.

Karlovic/jancovic/stosur/wozniacki parlay comes in at -155
risk 360 to win 300

[gregm]

adding isner -135 risking 200

[gregm]

These two weeks have been night and day. I am killing it at these clay tournaments which i normally have trouble capping

lets see today

garcia lopez -115 risk 345 to win 30 . I really like lopez on clay.

nishokori +116 risk 87 to win 100

[gregm]

16-13 -754$

Been on a great run to make up for one of the worst weeks in months. Like karlovic a little tomorrow, seems to love this tourney, should be a serving match and not alot of fun for fans of long rallies but karlovic should take this.

karlovic risk 80$ -145

[gregm]

Adding cuevas . I watched Lopez yesterday, played well but his serve seemed off.

cuevas risk 300 -175

I like nishikori alot, but fish at home to continue his reign as the highest rated american on the atp with low odds. tough match to call

fish risk 100 -130

[gregm]

Karlovic match was long on games but short on excitement. Karlovic got by barely but cuevas looks lost out there. The more I read about this fish match and fish's potential to move up in the rankings, top 10 maybe after this tourney ,and just his all around form, the more I like Fish to win.

adding another 300 at a bad line -155

[gregm]

Nishikori -115 risk 161 to in 140

wozniacki -130 risk 161 to win 123

[gregm]

nishikori/azarenka parlay -170 risk 300

azarenka/wozniacki/nishikori parlay -110 risk 110
