lots of upsets yesterday, if you think of the law of averages it should not be another upset for the rest of the tournament, having said that there is two potential plays that i am considering today. Gremelmayr at +270 now waiting for it to go up a little bit if gets close to +300 i will probably play it,
moreover, mr. gladiator should not be +170 against fish, i am tempted to grab it.

all my plays are to win 1 unit.

[EaglesPhan36]

Not a ton of value today IMO. Sadly, Fish at -200 is probably the best bet over Spadea who is a piece of shit. But Fish isn't exactly Mr.Consistency. If I'm betting for an upset, I'm shooting with Serra at +260. Verdasco has not been great on hard courts & Serra already has a match under his belt. Don't feel Gremelmyr is worth it even at the price.

Frickin Malisse almost brought me home to an outstanding day last night, but failed in the tie break. If Moya is favored in the next round vs. Delic - POUND Delic.

[Shark79]

No upsets today IMO

F. Lopez over D.Gremelmayr - LOSS
F. Verdasco over F. Serra - LOSS
M. Fish over V. Spadea - WIN
M. Safin over W.Odesnik - WIN

Pretty crazy taking fish at -200 but he still feels comfortable in this round of the tourney.

fish has not won back to back games since plo, totally agree with you there, spadea actually has had a good summer so far. if fish power game is not on, he will be in all sorts of trouble against spadea. stay away from this game all together.

[SBR Lou]

Good luck guys but the only time I'd bet with Fish is if it involved his wife for a night. Verdasco IMO looks like a pretty easy banker although he does seem to tank the 1st set from time to time.

[Shark79]

Wager is in ... crossing fingers ....

[EaglesPhan36]

Doing my due diligence. Mrs.Fish.

Hmmm, is she pregnant?

Hmmm, is she pregnant?

looks like a thicker version of JLo, doable!

on the tennis note staying away from f. lopez game, still have not ruled out spadea.

[Shark79]

Completely doable.

Single Shaker ... F. Lopez was my 2nd doubt ... but for some reason I feel all favs will pass to next round.

[EaglesPhan36]

still have not ruled out spadea.

Eeesh. If Grosjean wasn't completely inept yesterday, Spadea might have lost. Your dime.

and everything in fish's game screams Competent, but i agree with you after a good day yesterday, today should be a good idea to take a break. DY is playing tomorrow should be some easy money there.

[EaglesPhan36]

Yeah only way to play today might be parlaying some of the faves. Still pondering Serra although I don't much dig his game.

[SBR Lou]

Lopez/Gremlinmayer on serve.

Lopez/Gremlinmayer on serve.

if gremlin holds his serve until 4-4 he has a chance.

[Shark79]

german punk ... he will go down in next 2 sets.

Wow, Verdasco broken in his opening service game. 2-0 Serra

Verdasco has done well on clay & grass. Not sold on the hard court form though. He hasn't done much there.

[Shark79]

yes ... I have a feeling this will not be a good day.

Crazy, thanks for supporting me in the bettlimbroke thread

If I bet on anything in this stretch it's bad luck. I am ice cold right now, I made a bet on NFL preseason to try to will myself out of it. Under in Packer/Vike 36.
