US Open In-Game-Thread, Round 2!

[EaglesPhan36]

I gotta just make the plays I want to make and don't - two on the women's side at +odds I passed on are dominating. The one I make on the men's side (Dancevic) for the 128 man tourney is sucking balls.

[fiveteamer]

I took this chinese girl, she's losing.

Morning Boys!

No Plays till now ... they all have a high lay down ... not worth it ... IMO

I like Zheng.

US Open In-Game-Thread, Round 2!

Lets get that $!

[EaglesPhan36]

Zheng was one of the few singles I liked. I was going to pick Rybalkova this morning for the 128 contest, but talked myself out of it. She won in straights.


Today looks like a good day for big chalk parlays IMO. I'm skipping singles.

[fiveteamer]

what's up with TSONGA J-W. ??

this guy sucks..

[EaglesPhan36]

He hasn't played in three months.

Zheng it is!

[EaglesPhan36]

I'm just glad Jankovic seems to have straightened out here in the 3rd. That's one of my two women's futures & she looked shaky in the 2nd set.

[Shark79]

Tsonga struggling ... Jankovic will take 3rd set.

[woodg8]

Jankovic is so poor
Has about 10 chances to break, then gets broken herself

[woodg8]

Then she does break and double faults to hand the break back

What a bitch

[SBR Lou]

Zheng blowing the 2nd set after taking the first 61. That always happens, the worst thing is for someone to take set one 60 or 61 because they always come out flat in the 2nd.

[EaglesPhan36]

Tell you what - that Arviddson chick wasn't too shabby. She made Jankovic work hard. I hope that doesn't wear Janks down for me in the next round.

[Shark79]

BOYS !! CALL ME CRAZY!!

But Im taking Santoro +615

Roddick is good ... but I want him to lose ... so popping in $100 to win $615

[SBR Lou]

Anyone hitting Davenport hard?

[woodg8]

Mahut back in the game, took the 3rd set. Really need him to take this set too so I can hedge out, or let it ride depending on how he's playing. Got 6 units riding on this game.

[daggerkobe]

Who is the color guy for the Kendrick-Mahut?

I think he was saying rather cryptically that Gulbis would beat Roddick next round.

[EaglesPhan36]

Watch out for TSONGA boys. In my breakdown to the 4th round, I picked Moya to make it out of their section of the draw, but said if Tsonga proved his health - I actually think he could make life miserable in that draw for the Safins, Moyas, Cilics and Djokovics. I like this kid. It took him a set to get his game back today, but then he rolled.

[Boner_18]

Not such a bad idea.

Roddick has been shaky in his last two tournys with a w/drawl and a pretty swift loss (albeit in the final). He had neck problems which have since become back problems... If Santoro can match up his classically good return stats to Roddick's classically good service game this could be a good value... I know I'm cheering for Santoro b/c my gf wants to jump Roddick's bones.

[picantel]

How the hell did Benneteau win. I left when it was like 1-4 in the 5th set and came back to a win at +352. lol

[EaglesPhan36]

Pic you must have looked too quick. Cilic won on every site I have looked at.

[picantel]

really sportsline.com has benneteau wining. wtf lol

[picantel]

ahh crap you are right. sportsline still has benneteau winning. what a disappointment

[SBR Lou]

Lets go Miss Davenport

[csimmalavong]

she better win or my bank is pretty much done

[EaglesPhan36]

Seems like most of us thought the same for today - not alot of value. First two days, lots of posts - today, not so much. Davenport eeks out the first set.

[EaglesPhan36]

Well shit! I just now realize that Mikhail Youzhny never even played his 1st round match, so I lose out on a futures bet in that bracket by having a no play. Can't even find out what the F happened to him. His replacement won too. F.

[picantel]

What do you think of these plays tomorrow. I started keeping a spreadsheet yesterday and am hitting 83.9% for tennis and baseball which, of course, I just jinxed.

Fish +130
Peng -120
Sugiyama -120

Thinking of a small play on Bellucci at +550

[EaglesPhan36]

I actually think Pennetta is better off than Peng at + money. Fish-Mathieu is kind of a coin flip. Mathieu is in better form & I think the better player, but he's a mental midget just like Fish. With recent form though, I'd go French there. No opinion on Sugiyama. Del Potro despite his struggles should squash Bellucci I think. Then again, I'm like 0 for the tourney.

[picantel]

peng and pennetta are same odds of -120. u must be seeing a better price. for that I like peng as she has been really good lately. a real gold mine for me

[EaglesPhan36]

Sorry I didn't even look at the prices. I assumed at -120, Pennetta would be getting at least Even odds or + money. Seems odd they'd both be -120. Pinnacle has them close to even too, but at -106 & -104. I dunno, tomorrow looks like another good day to parlay some bigger favorites rather than go singles.

[SBR Lou]

Any late night European guys want to talk some games?

[EaglesPhan36]

I'd do parlays today:

Ferrer, Simon, Blake, Cibulkova - those are the ones I like best, but I think all are -300 or more individually.
