EP36's Tennis Elbow

JCF you schmuck. Might be time to consider retirement Mosquito boy. Shameful to be in position to lose to KUKUSHKIN on CLAY.

**tevari** · 02-10-12, 12:02 PM

Like AHM.

**EaglesPhan36** · 02-10-12, 12:09 PM

Sijsling, you got this boy. Up 4-2 in the 2nd. Let's serve this shit out son. Wish JCF had the heart of Nalbandian. Fat Dave treating Mayer like he should now, whippin' that ass.

Davis Cup: Haider-Maurer +250

**Boxing Champ** · 02-10-12, 12:48 PM

That was way too close for Ferrero....
Is Kukushkin that much better than expected???? or
Is Ferrero faking up...????

Is he a rich guy now?

**Nikigreat** · 02-10-12, 01:23 PM

Great work today EP, wanted to tail you with Haider-Maurer, saw that match since yesterday, but Bogomolov gave me some disappointment in the past and I preferred to stay away from his match.

P.S.: Can I copy your report to save my picks history?

**That Dude Nate** · 02-10-12, 02:29 PM

I've been in love with betting Darcis the entire tournament but I think he's due for a loss so I'm going to put something on Van Der Merwe.

**reformed** · 02-10-12, 02:48 PM

isner baby! doing it for USA

**reformed** · 02-10-12, 02:51 PM

he played at a top 5-10 level today...no joke

**Sport_Fish** · 02-10-12, 02:52 PM

So did anyone take a shot at Isner?

**EaglesPhan36** · 02-10-12, 02:55 PM

If USA finishes this off, one of the best Davis Cup wins for this team in a loooooooong time given the situation, surface and opponent. People who chased on Federer got murdered.

Anyone who bet heavy chalk today looks like they learned a tough lesson. Sharapova. Federer. Wawrinka. Heh.

**EaglesPhan36** · 02-10-12, 03:14 PM

Haider-Maurer, yes!

Think I said it plenty already, but fade Bogomolov quite a bit this season when the opportunity is right. He had a great run last season, but at his age that was more a phenomenon and not where he's going to be this year IMO. Plus he turned Russian .... bad karma baby.

**VikesPhanatic84** · 02-10-12, 03:16 PM

EP what you think of wickamayer?

**QuangX** · 02-10-12, 03:23 PM

WICKMAYER, YANINA+150

12:35 PM 4852BARTHEL, MONA

Any value in Barthel? I m thinking of laying one unit on Barthel, What your opinion Eagle?

**That Dude Nate** · 02-10-12, 03:27 PM

Merwe was up 4-1 and lost 3 straight to make it 4-4. WTF....He wasn't missing any shot now he's missing everything.

**EaglesPhan36** · 02-10-12, 03:27 PM

No opinion on that one - really haven't been too into the WTA this week other than watching one or two players. Seems like it could go either way. Think it's probably more of a pick em than the price, but Barthel gets the favorite tag for beating Wickmayer earlier this year.

Just now read Mattek-Sands had a back injury in that match the other day.

**Diesel79** · 02-10-12, 03:30 PM

Tough day for faves today... Goerges lost also and looks like Bartoli will lose too

**That Dude Nate** · 02-10-12, 03:52 PM

Wow. This guy Van Der Merwe is so trash. Up 4-1 to lose the first set 7-6, and Darcis isn't even feeling 100%. Now Darcis is playing with him and destroying him. This guy has at least 40 UE's

Excellent job sicko. I was loving this play since yesterday, but when I saw you on it too I played it for the max amount at Bovada. I was going to post it in my thread but didn't want to jinx the play haha. I feel like I need to take you out for dinner next time I roll through from Houston haha. Well done...

**EaglesPhan36** · 02-10-12, 04:21 PM

A reminder, I have been terrible on totals:

Davis Cup: Pospisil-Tsonga Over 32.5 [-145]
Super chalk, but given that many of these opening rubbers have seen some sketchy play from the bigger named favorites and Tsonga's propensity to sleep walk through sets to try and win late in 7-5 to 7-6 fashion, worth a shot to me here. Tsonga could steamroll this kid, but Pospisil has some positive matches on indoor courts where he's taken sets off good players including the likes of Isner last year. He also has a propensity for tie break sets on this surface. If Pospisil can keep his serve tight and the sets close this can get done even if he falls in straights. Also think there is a little pressure here on Tsonga to be the #1 singles guy with Monfils on the sidelines and Benneteau serving as #2 to start.

Thanks man. I felt so fortunate to snag some of those Davis Cup results earlier that I layed off some afternoon stuff today too feeling like maybe I was going to push my luck. Was set to fade the French at the Quimper Challenger all day, but felt like maybe I was being greedy after getting Sijsling in earlier. Turns out all the Frogs are getting ousted today: Gicquel and Serra both out along with Roger-Vasselin. I think only Serra was a short favorite, think Donskoy cashed at around +200 again or just under.

**BrianLaverty** · 02-10-12, 04:50 PM

In hit on Isner +675 when he was up 2-1 in the 3rd set... taking a shot on Popisil at +800...

**EaglesPhan36** · 02-10-12, 05:36 PM

I should just quit trying to cap totals. I blow. Pospisil blows harder than I do.

**EaglesPhan36** · 02-10-12, 05:55 PM

Davis Cup: Benneteau +200 [0.5 units]
This is another case of the home standing big hitter being perceived as that much better than the visitor on this surface. Certainly not the case when looking at Benneteau. Assuming Tsonga finishes Pospisil, a lot of pressure on the youngster Raonic here to try and keep Canada in this tie with a win. The only thing really going against Benny here is that the majority of his results on this surface have come in French tournaments. That includes a win over Raonic last year. The opening price here is 50 cents higher than Raonic opened at the French tournament last year and the price has grown even more over that. This is a lot closer than the odds suggest and given the pressure of the situation, Benneteau should be the looser player here.

Nice call Eagles! I was tailing you on this one, so thank you and congrats, it sounds like you had a nice bounce back.

**MrGambler** · 02-10-12, 06:27 PM

Barthel can u just give up...longest game today and it is in the WTA!

Yes. There she lost the game

**EaglesPhan36** · 02-10-12, 06:58 PM

More people loading up on Raonic to chase what they think is a sure win. Took Benneteau now @ +220.

Updated with Levine pending to complete a parlay and Benneteau.

**EaglesPhan36** · 02-10-12, 08:53 PM

So much for my brilliant idea on Benneteau. Raonic outplaying him easily, Guessing Benny is gonna just give up and lose in straights so as to not expend any more energy. Just hoping Levine can win tonight to end on a winning note after giving a little back here late.

**beefcake** · 02-10-12, 09:07 PM

Just got in and I was eating my burger tonight with my wife and I looked up and saw the Isner score and my sandwich dropped out of my mouth, my wife thought I had scene a ghost. I tried to explain this is like the biggest upset since 1980 hockey and she looked at me like I was smoking weed.

while its an upset, i still have to think that for the top 3-4 they have the mindset of no major=no care

**fitguy67** · 02-10-12, 09:54 PM

super-nice fat-odds hit on Haider-Maurer...that and Soeda pulling all the way back from 0-2 and Ferroro not choking...made for a nice opening 24 hours of Davis

Totally disagree when you're talking Davis Cup. Nadal & Djokovic especially have gone out of their way to play insane schedules to help their countries advance far in this competition. Murray is really moot in the conversation since Great Britain has shit for a team. Federer I think cares as well - if you were watching during the Wawrinka match, you would have seen how much he was into that match, one he wasn't even playing. This is a pretty big deal for these guys.

Levine in straights. Benny bowed out as expected in 3. Not likely to play much this weekend. Dallas Challenger final depending on the price and maybe some Davis Cup on Sunday depending on what countries are still alive/match-ups. Tsonga-Raonic will be tasty and Nishikori-Dodig is the only other singles rubber guaranteed to mean anything as of right now. Every other match-up could end with the doubles result tomorrow potentially.
