US Open In-Game-Thread, Round 1!

**SBR Lou** · 08-26-08, 12:32 AM

EP, any 11AM leans?

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-26-08, 12:58 AM

I made my picks in the old blog-o-rooney. My 3 weren't from the early matches, but ... (Zverev over Robredo, Capdeville over Alves & Domachowska over Mattek)

Schuettler looks safest among the men's early ones at -155 against Serra

Early ladies matches look like big chalk and no plays to me.

Playing this parlay. Pays almost 3:1. Capdeville likeliest to screw me.

MIKHAIL YOUZHNY-625
PAUL CAPDEVILLE -140
RAINER SCHUETTLER-155
DOMINIKA CIBULKOVA-555

**SBR Lou** · 08-26-08, 02:32 AM

Nice blog, Eagles.

I like Tamurin Tasunga (spelling?) over the wildcard at roughly -220.

**SBR Lou** · 08-26-08, 02:34 AM

I also think Ivanovic belongs in a parlay with someone, maybe Dominika Cublvakvm. I'm really too lazy to check all these odd spellings, don't mind me.

**bowlingreenSUX** · 08-26-08, 02:50 AM

Wow U Like Youzuky At -620?

**bowlingreenSUX** · 08-26-08, 02:51 AM

WHY NOT JUST PUT IN Ai Sugiyama IN UR PARLAY?

Only for parlay purposes. I don't bet over -175ish on an single tennis play. I actually took Youzhny actually for +8500 on my futures for half a unit. I like his game and he's not bad on hard courts with a reasonable draw. Obviously he'll need help if he gets past the 3rd round, but I found more value in going for a long shot than wasting a full unit or more on Nadal - who was a futures pick for me until his line kept rising.

I don't trust alot of the women outside of the Top 10 when it comes to making early plays. Cibulkova is one I've watched this year and I think she's going to keep rising in the rankings and is a decent play for the parlay.

**woodg8** · 08-26-08, 10:44 AM

I took Ivanovic, shes looking might fine

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-26-08, 10:57 AM

Berdych is getting bitch slapped by Querrey. Down a set and a break in the 3rd. Surprising to me. I thought Berdych could make a run to the 4th round or so. Schuettler is shitting the bed in the 1st against Serra. Up 4-1, it's now in a tiebreak battle at 8.

**Crayzee** · 08-26-08, 11:20 AM

lu

sorry i cant pick in advance enough to post them

**Crayzee** · 08-26-08, 11:21 AM

wow 6-0 second set for serra

..........here comes the retirement.......

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-26-08, 11:29 AM

I'm begging for retirement from Schuettler. LoL. Would save my small parlay attempt. He's obviously either quit on this match or hurt.

**Shark79** · 08-26-08, 11:36 AM

Morning Boys !! may us all win big!!

**Crayzee** · 08-26-08, 11:41 AM

**Shark79** · 08-26-08, 01:02 PM

Here are my daily pics:

T.Robredo def Zverev WIN
S. Grosjean def P-H. Mathieu (big underdog) LOSS
T. Alves def P.Capdeville (another dog) WIN

Good luck boys!!

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-26-08, 01:30 PM

Haas-Gasquet tied at one set. This should easily be the best 1st round match. 5 setter I think. Although Blake-Young did produce last night!

this bet was at crookmaker
i had another bet at country and western and so far they counted it as a win

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-26-08, 02:32 PM

It's no action at Bookmaker. Their software mis-scored it when the match originally ended. My parlay was a loss, but has been changed since. It goes with their rules which say as long as a player does not withdrawal before the match begins, the bet is no action.

Looks like I'm headed toward 0-2 on my singles plays. Jesus. I'm scared to even make my last play. 0-7 for the first two days potentially.

Reynolds match is after Petrova women's match is complete.

**picantel** · 08-26-08, 03:03 PM

Here we go to the 5th set with Haas at +150. Hope this does not turn into another lopez moment.

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-26-08, 03:18 PM

Definitely all you expected for this match. I wanted to take Haas at + money, but thought Gasquet would find away. Looks like Haas might pull one outta his butt.

Safin holding off Spadea in the 5th. 0-2 for the day for me as Robredo stomps might shot at an underdog. One more shot today. F. I need a win.

1-0 till now ... lets get em dogs

**picantel** · 08-26-08, 04:21 PM

The oddest thing is I hate tennis with a passion. I refuse to watch it. The only reason I know of some of the players are the tennis threads and the odds. It is probably the only sport I am up on too lol.

**woodg8** · 08-26-08, 05:24 PM

Kudryatseva can f uck off, blows a set lead to lose 2-1, had alot of money riding on it and am now gutted. I tell myself I won't bet tennis, then I do it anyway and lose more money

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-26-08, 06:19 PM

It's dart board time tomorrow. My shit stinks even if I go 1-2 in singles & get my parlay. I'm pissed.

**Crayzee** · 08-26-08, 07:09 PM

fvking alves comes back to tie 2-2

anyone else got alves?

i never heard of him but he fit my small dog criteria
