Good call on Andreev today Niki! I am also adding Lopez into a parlay today that I will post on here in an hour or so. I have to get ready to go to the matches today at River Oaks. Going to be watching Anderson from start to finish. I love the fact we were both on a couple plays, I am hoping for a really good day! BOL to all of us!

And to recap yesterday, I ended up losing about 75 on the tennis parlays
Lost the -131 & cashed the -210. Not the best day, but MASSU lost!!!! YEAAA!!! Join me on the anti-Massu tour this year. He will lose a ton of matches & we can try to make some decent coin fading that loser
And also, I will seriously try to take you up on your offer of coming to visit. It would be a dream brotha to see that side of the world. And for you to offer accomodations to try to help me financially is very appreciative. Teaching tennis, I don't make a lot of money. But if I head that way one day, you can bet your bankroll that I will take you up on that offer. A good time we would have!!!Comment -
What a dissapointment by Dolgopolov!!! Losing 3&1 to Cipolla???? Wow! I have GOT to put him on my list of non plays for the rest of my life. And I am not joking. He has all this talent & potential to be a top 20 pro, but he really plays like garbage prob HALF the time he steps on the court! I can't believe he only won 4 games I think against a player like Cipolla. Wow....
Anderson is crushing Sousa. Easy straight sets I'm sure. Barthel won easy. Anderson will win comfortably. Way to screw up a great parlay Dolgopolov!!
Couldn't even compete in an early round with a much lower ranked opponent. How pathetic Dolgo!!Comment -
☝What he said.Comment -
Two things: I feel bad bec two days ago when I lost 75 (went 1-1) bec my only winner was DePaula -210, I added Sweeting at -130 into two parlays that I tied up with NBA. I was frustrated two days ago & I went on a strong feeling that Sweeting would beat Mello. Well, the reason I feel bad is that I never came into the thread and told ev1 that I had a strong lean on Sweeting. My girlfriend said I should of done that at the very least. I was rushing for work, put in 2 parlays that paid around +180 to +190. Well, both cashed for me & I ended up having a good day wagering actually. I just want ev1 to know, that if I like a later match & I am going to tie a tennis player in with a parlay with another sport, I will at least come on here & let people know that I like a player that I am tying into another sport parlay. I just didn't have much time & honestly didn't think about posting anything here quickly. I am kind of upest, bec I saw Sweeting play doubles & he looked GOOD! I also watched Mello play & I knew he wouldn't be able to handle the power of Sweeting. I also say Kunitsyn play & if Sweeting plays him this next round, I am seriously going to look at Sweeting to win that match as well!!!
I will be posting my play or two before I go to the matches again. My phone died yesterday up there & I couldn't post anything else for the rest of the day bec I ran straight to teach all afternoon and night. I am hoping for a good day today!! BOL to all of us

Oops, the other thing I forgot to mention: WAY TO GO Niki on calling Lopez last night against Lorenzi. I had looked at him too & like the play also. I was very uncomfortable when he was down 1-4 in first set. But then he won 5 straight games Second set he went down 0-2 again & managed to get the break back and win that second set in a tiebreaker! I AGAIN, won 2 parlays last night around the +170 to +180 range by using Lopez in both parlays
I tied Lopez in with Philly 76ers -4(-120) & Under Celtics/Hawks 181(-110). Can;t believe that Celtics went UNDER with a 33 pt 4th quarter AND overtime!!! ONLY 6 points total scored in overtime to keep it under by quite a few, amazing!!!
So thanks Niki for giving me more confidence in using Lopez last night. He saved my day yesterday bigtime bec Dolgo sucked it HUGE against Cipolla!!! I am hoping to find a few good plays today, I will post on here in about an hour or so.Comment -
Going to have to post my picks first. Driving to tment. I will put up write ups later.Comment -
Parlay #1
Anderson -120
Isner -550
Total = apprx +118Comment -
Anderson match should be really close. But I am siding with Kevin to take a super tight 2 setter or a 3 set match. Both big serves, big forehands. Querrey does have the tendency to cave in big matches. And although this is a 3rd round match in a small tment, playing someone like Anderson is a big match! Anderson looked really good against Sousa & I hope her big South African keeps it rolling!
Isner should take out Zeballos in straights. Isner has had time to rest, so he should be fresh from his huge win over Tsonga for Davis Cup! Go Big John!!!
Another parlay coming up when I get into my seats in about 45 mins. GL
Comment -
Hey Niki, I am good friends with Mosers brother. We are sitting in their box watching doubles. Karlovic has a hurt wrist. I'm hoping they pull this match out after a really slow start.The seats are awesome!!! One of the few perks of being a tennis pro
Comment -
PS. We have the seats all day
Fish match should be good. I could care less about Monaco. We will go watch Harrison on side court.
Last parlay coming in a few mins. Working on it now.Comment -
Anderson took the first set in a tiebreaker 7-3!!!! Just like I thought, a super right match. Hopefully Querrey has a let down early this set!!
I want to go watch that match SO bad, but I can't leave Karlovic/Mosers box, LOL. I have to show respect bec they invited us to sit with them & we also have these seats all day. Maybe I will catch the end of the second.....Comment -
great updates dmoney. Get some pics, I wanted to go to charleston but I couldn't make it. I bet thats a great venue to see a tourney and your seats sound pretty sweet. CheersComment -
Anderson just broke Querrey in the third set with an amazing return of serve!!! And then gets broken back with a double fault. Anderson up 3-2 on serve.Comment -
Parlay #2
Sweeting -325
Fish -700
Isner -550
Total = apprx -120Comment -
I was shitting bricks watching that 3rd set breaker with Anderson!!!! Literal bricks y'all!! LOL!!
Anderson played SO aggressive in the breaker & it paid off!!! Querrey framed 2 balls & choked like I knew he would!! Way to go Kevin! Got to go into locker room & talk with him for 5 mins. Great guy!! So laid back
That leaves Isner left for a plus money parlay to cash!! Go USA!! Go Big John
Comment -
I have been watching Sweeting all week crush the ball. His serve looks good! Ground strokes solid! And for some reason, he plays really really well here in Houston!
I can't see Fish losing to Russell. He has plenty of time to rest, so he should be in full swing this afternoon.
I also can't see Isner losing to Zeballos. In fact, I kind of want to bet my entire house on Isner tonight. After watching him beat Tsonga, how on earth could he not beat Zeballos? Look for Big John to win in straights. Maybe one tight set.
GL to ev1!!!Comment -
Ryan is hammering Reynolds. Sweeting is in good form!! Just like I thought he would be I expect him to be up 6-3, 4-0 in a minute. I am leaving that match to go get ready to watch Fish. Back in the box seats on the court
A Fish win here, leaves both paralys open for this evening with Big John to finish out
Comment -
Fish loses the first set. Russell is not blowing winners, almost all points were from Fish errors. If our #1 American can't beat our #12 American, that would be shocking! Hoping for a better set by Fish here. He did have a lot of chances to break back. He needs to pick up the play!!!Comment -
It looks like Fish is not even trying y'all!! I'm not kidding! Error after error on balls that are sitting in the middle or the court! I want to walk out on this piece of crap!! In fact, I think I am......
What a loser to not even be giving 100%! I have more heart than this freaking guy!!!
Pathetic.......Comment -
I have never seen before that one player doesnt want to win a match... ATP should definitly investigate this matchComment -
perhaps he is waiting to fly to monoco, but if so why even play this event?Comment -
I agree with BOTH comments bigtime. The ATP should look more into crap like this. I had a chance to watch a top 10Comment -
top 10 player in the world & it was pathetic. Anderson would of crushed Fish today. Isner would have. A lot of players there this week would have. All I can say is, I'm sorry to have put him in that parlay & I was very very dissapointed in what I witnesses today. He gives a food effort & losses, I can live with that all day long. But just giving up on balls??? Not acceptable in my eyes.
And it's kind of funny, bec 2 years ago a similar thing happened to Eduardo Schwank. He hurt his back, so he said, & in the third set, he was GOOFING around with his shots. I kid you not!!! He was hitting moon balls on purpose for no reason, huge inside out slices that would jump 10 feet to the side. It was shocking. The crowd was booing!! And he DID get fined by the ATP for how he acted on the court. They said he should have retired the match, instead of good off & basically do crazy crap. It was mind blowing. I had never seen anything like that in my life on the professional level.
Fish didn't goof off, but dammit!!!, he sure was NOT giving anything close to 100%. Not even close! The people next to me got up & left. They said the same thing I was saying. My girl & I left very soon after they did. I just couldn't watch it anymore.Comment -
Sorry guys, bern busy in last two days.
Thank you John for your testimonies, really precious even If I couldn't play anything yesterday.
After being in Montecarlo I can adfirm that watching players live gives perfect feeling on who is playing well and who is not. In fact you were talking about a great Sweeting and a good Anderson and both won and are in the Quarters. Not randomly last year I went on Tuesday to study the situation and when I was back on Wednesday I picked all the match and every pick was correct! Except for Starace who wasted the entire match against Pere Riba lol
So keep going like this John and thanks again!
(So sorry for Fish by the way, no words for him...)Comment -
Can't write now, just posting the picks.
Starace is a shot I took two days ago, he's going to play now.
And in the Double I'm so sure about Berlocq and I see Ramos a little bit more solid than Chardy.

Thanks Niki! Still pissed this morning over Fish, would of had a perfect day yesterday. I even knew Harrison would prob 80% take out Kunitysn yesterday & I never wrote anything on him. He was the ONLY match I didn't pick correct yesterday. It was easy to see Monaco beating Ito, but at -1400 it was worthless to play him. I hope some people liked Isner last night, bec AGAIN, I put him in 2 NBA parlays and won both again (Pistons ML -220 & Under Heat/Bulls 185). Dude, I'm like 6-0 in my last NBA picks and all have been parlayed with a late Tennis pick But I DID tell ev1 yesterday, more than once, how much I liked Isner last night. So I hope some people tied him in with other picks for extra payouts. He made my day turn out fairly well yesterday.
To recap yesterday, I went (1-1) with losing the -120 and winning the +118 AND I leaned hard on Isner for the evening match. This frustrates me because I picked every match yesterday & the ONLY one I didn't pick correctly was the Fish one. Well, on to today's matches & hopefully we have a good day!!!
Niki, I want to thank you so much for letting me post on your thread. Its just this week that I am at the matches here in Houston & I have a lot to tell ev1. Obviously on normal weeks, I won't post nearly as much. But watching live tennis & gambling on it & telling ev1 how the players are playing, is REALLY fun for me. I am having a blast this week!!! And I have a gorgeous girl on my arm to make it 1,000 times better

Parlay #1
Ramos -200
Giraldo -1300
Total = appx -147Comment -
Good luck niki and great updates dmoney. The funniest quote I ever heard was during the fish /nadal match and someone yelled in the crowd , "Batter" him Nadal. Thats the way I feel about Fish this year, he cost me a nice parlay as well yesteday . Great thread guys. CheersComment -
I got my first parlay in with about 10-15 mins before the Ramos match went out to court to warm up. Sorry for the late post, I know the write up is late, but I wanted to make sure I got the play in first.
I agree with Niki on this one & the fact you took Ramos, made me more comfortable with taking him on my first play. He is definetly the better clay court player. Ramos has had a very good year so far & has beaten some GOOD players on clay (F Lopez, Gasquet). He beat two clay court players to make the quarters here & he looks in good form winning in easy straights for both matches. Chardy can be very up & down and facing a very tough opponent today, he will find himself in a dog fight that I think Ramos will come out on top. Chardy beat two non clay courters getting to the quarters & he lost both first round matches leading into this tment. I expect Ramos to be the much better player at the moment and I hope he gets thru in straight sets.
Giraldo has been playing very well this week, winning both matches in comfortable straight sets. He is a good clay court player for his size & he should make the finals or win this tment this week. He is playing Barrientos, who has had two LONG three set matches in a row against players who are NOT on the level of Giraldo. I can't see him even pushing the Colombian today for a close match, and if he is the least bit tired, I expect a similar score line to what Giraldo's other two matches have been. Again, I expect to see Giraldo get through in straight sets & move onto the semis.
GL to ev1

Ramos won comfortably, 6-3 6-4 He had an early break in the first & Chardy choked at 4-4 in the second to get broken, LOL. That leaves Giraldo for my parlay at -147 odds! Excellent!!! I know you had Berlocq in your hook up with Ramos & I actually like him to get through tonight. I will look at his line later to maybe play it. I just went with a more secure play by taking Giraldo I hope. I am hoping BOTH of our parlays to start the day come in!!!

I am also looking at the lines for Houston today. I CANNOT go to the matches today I have too many obligations with my kids & my son has a tment this weekend (I also have a few earlier lessons today).
I can say prematurely, that some of these lines are making me SCRATCH my head bigtime........
I watched Monaco play Ito yesterday & I didn't see anything phenominal in his game. He didn't serve big or rip winners around the court. Ito basically hit a ton of errors and it was an easy win for Monaco. In MY opinion, Anderson played a MUCH better game against Querrey. He hit way more aggresively. Served HUGE. When I saw Monaco was -350, I almost spit my cereal all over the table!! I thought maybe Monaco would be -150 or -175 maybe. But -350?? Holy crap. I can almost gaurantee that if Monaco wins, it will be close!!! Or Anderson wins the match if he plays the way I saw yesterday. The only thing I can think of, is that Kevin had a long match yesterday & how he will recover from that match. If he doesn't recover well, then Monaco could just out grind him. But if Kevin plays the way he did yest, I don't see him losing.
The Harrison lines looks appropriate I think. This is HIS match to win or lose. If he plays poorly, Russell WILL steal this match. BUT, if Ryan plays the way he did against Kunitsyn & the later sets in the previous match, he will win. Russell did nothing special yesterday against Fish. No serves at all big speed! Very few winners flat out. He just grinds and grinds. Harrison has the big serve clicking. And if he plays patient tennis & sets up the big forehand (not just trying to winners on the first ball), then I think Harrison will win this match for sure. All on his shoulders in my opinion.
These are the first two quarters today, I will probably post a play in an hour or so. First quarter starts in 2 hours from now. I will put my second parlay in & then probably comment some notes on the last two quarters which are tonight here in Houston.
As always, GL ev1

Play #2
Anderson +250
Play #3
Moncaco to win 2-1 +300
Write up in a few mins.......Comment -
I think in this play, we have a solid chance to cash EITHER one for a profit around +180 to +200. This will NOT be an easy match for Monaco & Anderson can definetly win at least one set here. I can see one set going to a tiebreak & Anderson always has a good chance to win any tiebreaker on any surface. I went small on both bec I do not see Monaco winning an easy straight set match here. Like I said earlier, if Monaco does win, I see a very very tight two sets or it goes three. Both of those scenarios will give Anderson a very good chance to win a set or to possibly win this match.Comment -
My play went off the board at 2:10, so when I posted it, there was only 8 mins left on my book. Sorry for the late post, I wasn't home and my phone was here. I put it up right when I walked in. Hopefully this was a good move, but I did go small just bec I don't think Monaco will win this easy at all. In fact, he doesn't even have to win this match. Go Anderson!!!Comment
