EP36's Futurama

What do you think about Murray against the spread?

EaglesPhan36 · 08-01-12, 05:19 AM

I think that number is spot on. Baghdatis played him tough @ Wimbledon. A little surprised Baggy is this far, but if he serves strong he is always a bit tricky.

EaglesPhan36 · 08-01-12, 08:54 AM

Rain ruined my parlay idea. Had hoped Alamgro would cash early so I could play Melo-Soares and get some profit in that marathon .... But rain delayed and the hedge never was. Damn you mother nature.

riffraff24 · 08-01-12, 09:29 AM

Do you know if there is a stream for the Tsonga/Lopez match?

EaglesPhan36 · 08-01-12, 10:22 AM

Only liked Matosevic [-160] in DC today, so looked to parlay him with what is left to drive the price down:

Parlay: Matosevic + Ferrer [-106]

Is there any way in hell that Dolgo pulls the BS that Ebden pulled and allows RRH to earn back-to-back hard court wins for the first time since 1954?

Seriously, I just looked up RRH's hard-court record, and the guy had won only one ATP-level hard-court match since 2007 before yesterday. That is horrible. Why is he in this tournament in the first place? And how much was Ebden paid to lose yesterday?? ... You have to be straight-up awful or seriously injured to lose in straight sets to RRH on a hard court.

Dolgo, you flaky POS, you better destroy this guy. Anything less than 6-2, 6-2 should embarrass Dolgo.

riffraff24 · 08-01-12, 11:08 AM

I parlayed Matosevic with Tipsy. Thoughts on that one?

EaglesPhan36 · 08-01-12, 11:12 AM

I hope you lose because I'm on Isner?

That was a pre-tournament read that I had and I am sticking to it. I still don't think Tipsarevic is at his best on grass. He's in marvelous form overall, but Petzschner pushed him early last round and he'll be under more pressure from the Isner serve - assuming Isner brings his A game. It is what it is, should be very tight.

riffraff24 · 08-01-12, 11:29 AM

lol I appreciate your honesty. I only took it small but what the heck. If it loses i'll be happy for you.

riffraff24 · 08-01-12, 01:37 PM

You got your wish. I lose. haha

EaglesPhan36 · 08-01-12, 01:45 PM

Isner had to win in that tie break IMO. With the lack of a third set tie break, chances are they would have wound up similar to Raonic-Tsonga yesterday and while a tie break favors Isner big, that format would favor Tipsarevic in my estimation.

Ferrer seems to have found himself. Hopefully he can gather himself and even it up.

EaglesPhan36 · 08-01-12, 01:53 PM

Or not Ferrer.

Eagles I'm thinking about going Super Size on Mato
what say ye ?

Is Matosevic the real deal? Can he be counted on to take care of business today and knock out Kamke?
Or is their better available at Washington Hard courts?

EaglesPhan36 · 08-01-12, 03:52 PM

I liked him, but he is inconsistent just like Kamke but with a better serve. So far, he is terrible. Still shocked Ferrer lost to Nishikori.

EaglesPhan36 · 08-01-12, 11:33 PM

Check out the points forum, got another line of the day listed. Win my points!

Not big on much tomorrow. Just one.

Doubles: Ferrer-Lopez (-120)

EaglesPhan36 · 08-02-12, 11:11 AM

Spaniards beat some Croat booty. One total later ..

ATP Washington: Anderson-Serra Under 21.5 [-114]

Rian · 08-02-12, 11:12 AM

Nice call on the Ferrer-Lopez doubles play. Tailed it, got it at +101.

EaglesPhan36 · 08-02-12, 11:20 AM

Yeah I took them a little more @ -105. Did not expect movement on the line.

so you're expecting a convincing straight set win by Anderson?
and save all that juice on Anderson with the under games total instead.

EaglesPhan36 · 08-02-12, 11:30 AM

Yes. If he serves like he did to open, he should roll. Serra does not match well with power players on fast surfaces. It's just a matter of whether Anderson has the consistency or not, that is what has held him back this year I think. Varies from match to match too match whereas he was a much better server consistently last season.

Heritage doesn't offer game totals till QF's.
Best they offer on Anderson is -1.5 sets@-163 (ML-560)

EaglesPhan36 · 08-02-12, 12:39 PM

That's not terrible and you get the wiggle room of not having to have him win in under 21.5 games.

Allen24 · 08-02-12, 01:03 PM

Is querrey and fish safe?? To add to a parlay with a baseball game

EaglesPhan36 · 08-02-12, 04:08 PM

I think Fish will be okay. Berankis is going to run out of gas at some point ..... That is also the fear on Querrey for me. Becker isn't great on this surface, so maybe he survives another round.

EaglesPhan36 · 08-02-12, 04:23 PM

Pretty unsurprising Olympics. Picked 5/8 QFs and 3/4 SFs, only missing on Ferrer instead of Delpo.

EaglesPhan36 · 08-02-12, 04:42 PM

6-4, 6-4 Anderson. One WTA @ DC.

King-Coco Over 21 (-110)

Any reason why Berankis could steal a set from Fish?
Larger juice on Querry than Fish. In fact too much Querry juice.
Considering Fish @ -1.5 sets +100 or ML -275.

EaglesPhan36 · 08-02-12, 06:15 PM

Always possible if he is serving well that a tie break comes into play and then who knows. Like one more although lightly with two flake ass bitches.

Malisse-Chardy Over 22 (-125)

Allen24 · 08-02-12, 06:30 PM

Malisse or chardy who wins more than likely line seems a little off

EaglesPhan36 · 08-02-12, 07:59 PM

Given Malisse had played more hard court tennis lately and played well, line seemed okay to me. Expected Chardy to hold his serve better ... what else is new, losing something related to this bum.

EaglesPhan36 · 08-02-12, 09:39 PM

Friday, August 3rd
Kirilenko +4.5 [-105]
Benneteau-Gasquet +305
Hlavackova-Hradecka +125

EaglesPhan36 · 08-02-12, 09:44 PM

Something to consider when placing your wagers if you're on Federer-Del Potro. Forecast is for rain when they are starting. Quite possible it goes under the roof. You'll probably see more people thinking Del Potro will have a better chance to do something against Fed because of this. I'm not sure the roof closed outweighs the heavy experience advantage Federer has in these conditions in the last month over Delpo who has not played under the roof yet to my knowledge. Plus is Djokovic-Murray should be outdoors if the weather pattern is close to accurate. Rather see the matches played in true conditions.

mdfizzle · 08-02-12, 09:48 PM

Murray seems to be playing the better tennis at the moment, you give him a decent shot to win?

EaglesPhan36 · 08-02-12, 09:55 PM

He hasn't played anyone close to Djokovic's level and dropping a set to Baghdatis was a little nervy. Djokovic getting pushed a little by Hewitt might have been a good thing for him to get better focus. Should be the better of the semis tomorrow. I think he has a shot of course, but I stick with my pre-tournament thoughts which was Federer v. Djokovic for the Gold. Won't be that surprised if he does win though. He definitely would benefit I think if the roof stays open, which it should by time his match starts.
