good luck Sporty, hope you had a good morning in ATP

Demonata · 10-27-11, 11:04 AM

Lets win this man.

Go Kvitova.

sportman1313 · 10-27-11, 11:14 AM

good luck to you both...really liked lajovic, based on line mvmnt but didn't play it as I haven't watched him play so laid off.

I have andreev and nieminen to win it though...both have solid chances of winning so hopefully they do. hope kvitova comes through...if she continues to play as she has, she rolls. Good start

iceminers26 · 10-27-11, 12:32 PM

Overall: 3-1 +4u

Our girl Kvitova takes care of business.

Haven't placed the late play yet, having second thoughts on Rad at the moment. Will post in about 10 mins or so if I end up having a play for the late match.

iceminers26 · 10-27-11, 12:42 PM

ZVONAREVA, VERA -115 - 2 units

Gut play for me here, honestly feel Z puts some demons in the closest today and advances with a win.
Good Luck.

iceminers26 · 10-27-11, 03:04 PM

what a shock, Vera serving for the match and gets broken

iceminers26 · 10-27-11, 03:15 PM

And that is why she is known as the Mental Midget, unreal is all the comes to mind.

iceminers26 · 10-27-11, 03:20 PM

This match is a perfect example why Vera will never be an elite player, had a chance to advance and playing a less superior opponent, has the match in control in 3rd then falls apart. The biggest choke artist on the WTA by a long shot, no excuses, just flat out awful.

Demonata · 10-27-11, 03:22 PM

Yep that match was a joke.

gators0708 · 10-27-11, 03:28 PM

Toughest loss for me ever

sportman1313 · 10-27-11, 03:29 PM

Wowww, an unbelievable match and chokejob by vera....sorry for that 'l', very bad bad beat no lie

Demonata · 10-27-11, 03:31 PM

Ya that match was a joke. Screw betting on anyone but kvitova from now on this tournament

iceminers26 · 10-27-11, 03:36 PM

lol Kvitova is our girl, she is a machine

worst part about the match that just ended, I had Rad as my initial lean but switched over because I honestly thought Vera was going to come through for a change in a big spot, what was I thinking.

gonna go workout and clear my head before entering college foots tonight, I'm mindfked right now... need to get a clear head before moving forward.

Demonata · 10-27-11, 03:42 PM

Ya man she is a machine. Kvitova the Killer.

Man Z and Rad were bot bad that match. Fading them,Li Na, Sharapova,stosur. I want to fade like everybody.lol.All have been inconsistent but kvitova.

Ya man I got to go play some bball and shoot around a bit. Not too sure what I like tonight in college.

iceminers26 · 10-27-11, 03:43 PM

Friday Matches

Kvitova v Radwanska -

Rad needs to take 1 set to advance/Kvitova already advanced, but still playing for #1 seed in Red Group and would have to win match to do so.

Na v Stosur

Winner is in, loser is out

Vika v Bartoli

Vika in and assured top spot in White Group, Bartoli alternate playing

iceminers26 · 10-27-11, 03:45 PM

Just an initial thought that I want to put down, Kvitova did own Woz today but Woz's destiny lies in Kvitova's hands, if you had the chance to eliminate the #1 seed would you? Not saying she would but has to enter the mind when looking at this match tomorrow.

sportman1313 · 10-27-11, 03:52 PM

very very interesting dynamics in the red group now....match btwn kvitova and radwanska will be very intriguing indeed. I feel bad for ya'll who took vera in this one...just OUCH. Nonetheless, ya'll will bounce back....on miami tonight myself for a good bit (despite it being a large public play) despite being a uva alum lol. cavaliers have nothing really and their only good performance was against gtech...cupcake schedule at that. unless refs screw around in this game or jacory and miami lay an egg, this 'should' be a rout in miami primetime fashion with revenge factor for miami also. bol on your plays fellas

Demonata · 10-27-11, 03:54 PM

Sportman no offense but why pick miami with that horrible juice? There has to be a better play man.

jougaire · 10-28-11, 01:18 AM

I think best play for today is Stosur to win against Li Na. Semi finals are going to be interesting!

sportman1313 · 10-28-11, 01:24 AM

With the horrible juice? Oh no, i didn't take them on the ml thank god haha...i took them -13.5 and also -14.5 but yeah i went against how the lines were moving and paid for that. Fortunately, made up a good bit of that from houston quarters and 2nd half plays and took cards in-game for a good bit. Came up about $300 in a day that it could have been much much worse.

Demonata, you have been killing it in tennis today...how else did you fare with other plays? BOL tomorrow...think I may ease down with the tennis tomorrow, my future with Azarenka is looking mighty fine right now though

Ya man at least you made profit.

Well I broke even with my cards texas bet with live betting. Took texas when they were 2.00 and then took card when they were like 2.20. Ya man not sure what to bet today yet.

Demonata · 10-28-11, 08:43 AM

Decided to go with a melzer and stosur parlay today. Stosur should win today I believe and Melzer is a little better than anderson in my opinion. Melzer looked good last game. Best of luck everyone.

iceminers26 · 10-28-11, 11:13 AM

Good luck guys....I had to put a roof on this morning
.. didn't like anything today in tennis gonna have to fill me in on who looked good. Heading to lunch I suck posting from phone.

iceminers26 · 10-29-11, 12:21 AM

My book doesn't have caps but obviously I would be on Kvitova -4 or even -4.5 @ + money. I am just debating if I want to go crazy and lay 3/1 on the ML, which I probably won't, but I do like her today.

Other match, lean to Z only because of current price and can't back Vika @ over 2/1, not in my playbook.

Good luck to anyone that plays the semis but I can't get down with these high prices. I'm actually hoping both favs win so I can get a respectable line on Kvitova.

iceminers26 · 10-29-11, 09:24 AM

Overall: 3-2 +1.70u

Saturday

ZVONAREVA, VERA +210 - 1u

I am given Z another try to put her demons in the closest once and for all, and its not like Vika will dominate regardless, so taking a shot at over 2/1 on my money with Z. Good Luck.

sportman1313 · 10-29-11, 06:42 PM

she made a push in that second set but man oh man vera continued to choke badly on the big points and double faults killed her....she missed critical volleys and didn't capitalize much with Azarenka's short balls. I was happy azarenka won but sorry you lost bro...i have a future on azarenka 400 to win 1480, wondering if i should hedge that with kvitova. This match can go either way and I really feel azarenka can beat her but kvitova can also beat her....wish kvitova was less of a favorite, don't like it at -155.

At least one of us won bud, I was just on Z because of the price. Heck think I have 3 losses this tourney and 2 of them are on Z, who's game I can't stand and rarely ever back her. Just got a little crazy and felt like fading Vika today.

Good luck on your future, I will be on Kvitova in some form tomorrow. I feel she is currently playing the best on tour, especially indoor hard, so will take a shot on her. Good Luck.

jdrb · 10-29-11, 10:30 PM

It's tough to look past Kvitova here. She's 5-1 in finals this year, the only loss coming at Eastbourne on a very windy day and she had to play the semi in the morning on that day too. So it's fair to say when it comes to finals, Kvitova plays her best.
She has an incredible record on indoor hard and is undefeated this year on that surface. She has outplayed Azarenka all year I expect that to continue.

sportman1313 · 10-29-11, 11:23 PM

Appreciate the good wishes on the future....out of all the female players, sharapova and zvonareva over the yrs have cost me the most. I rarely back Vera and actually lost going with her against kvitova and fading her against wozniacki....fortunately, i won quite big on radwanska against her in-match.

Sorry you lost that and losing on vera bc of her consistent choking can be quite irritating....but there are times when she truly is a great person to back, but she is really the epitome of "hit or miss" smh.

A question for you bro...if you had a future on azarenka at this point, would you hedge it with a bet on kvitova in this finals? I'm most likely going to do it, despite not really a fan of hedging...think it is warranted in this situation though. To me, this match is really a coin flip...everyone is writing off azarenka but she can beat kvitova, her style gives petra just as much issues as petra's does to vika. Just wanna hear what your course of action would be?

sportman1313 · 10-29-11, 11:26 PM

I agree with this here...going against kvitova on indoor hard courts right now is not a very good idea AT ALL. If there is one player I feel that can beat her though, it is azarenka...the thing is, the only player i felt could beat azarenka in this tournament if she was in-form is kvitova as well lol. I will say this though...if kvitova commits a lot of errors, as she is prone to do at times, azarenka will destroy her. Kvitova today isn't the same inconsistent player of the last yr or two....appreciate the input, she is indeed great in finals

I don't know Sporty, I don't really like to give advice to others when it comes to their money and plays. I just post my plays and record in case someone wants to hear them.

Good luck bud, hope it works out for you regardless of which route you go. Think I'm laying off this one, the line movement has scared me away, can't figure out drop on Vika.
