LF Tennis Predictions (2012)

[jimm246]

In one of the worst days I had, at the end of the day, I still can write +13.01% ROI ... and there are people still laughing at me and at my ratings.. can someone explain me why?
If people don't like my way, why do they waste their time reading me?
Skipping is not a fantastic solution in these situations?

People are never happy... that's so sad

anyway, I look forward.
See u

I'll see you the next day. looking forward too.

If only there were an ignore button. Seriously, keep it up Lou. Most of us appreciate your picks and the hard work that goes into it.

Lou, I stumbled across your thread earlier today while browsing the forum.

First and foremost, and a personal ThanX to you for taking the time to share your PiX! It really bothers me when someone goes out of their way to take the time and share their work, only to have other folks come out and bash it --WHATEVER THE RESULT-- I follow Roxxy and it's almost like a scene out of Tolkien where the trolls seem to be coming out of the funkin woodwork... EVEN though his winning ratio is 65.65%

BUT

I do feel a little better when I look at the big picture and see that your thread had 25k+ hits and a whole heaping pile of Thank you's and Great Job's.

All in all, you need to embrace the fact that your fan base vastly outnumbers your detractors. Kobe, Jim, Parlay, & a mas of other folks really appreciate the fact that you are taking the time to share.

There is enough real drama in the world... Folks do not need to manufacture any more.

Kudos Lou & BOL on your PiX!

[adrenalinerush]

I feel like I'm stating the obvious, but I'll do it anyway. I just don't get why people even waste the effort to bash someone else's picks. I don't care how bad their picks are, or if they do have some ulterior (sp?) motive, whatever, if you don't like the picks or whoever is offering the picks then move on. Why does someone even go into the thread of someone with whom they have some issue. It's just idiotic. Move on. Nobody comes to this thread to read someone else's sermon.

Love what you do Lou. Keep it up! If the day ever comes that I don't care for your picks then I'll move on, and you won't hear a negative word from me.

Rush

[BigPage25]

pay no mind to the haters... Just continue to post your picks and if people want to follow them they can follow at their own risk... Simple as that

Lou thanks man for the picks. I really appreciate it and so does 97%+ of the people around here does too.

[cheven]

Hey again Lou, congrats on the great results, and thanks so much for posting your picks here everyday.

I've been investigating the Isner v Harrison match at Newport being played later today, and think there is a bit of value backing Harrison at odds of 3.0? What's opinion?
You could change my opinion of course

[hardy4]

first part of your pamphlet: I can agree about your analysis on Dimitrov and Ramos, but as said before, My rating works using some points, some parameters and I always use them, adding also my personal point of view (when possible) studying bf graph's. I posted also Ramos +2.5, that means he is underdog, and yes, he lost, but doesn't matter, because other 57 times I was right on what I wrote here.
second part: the fact I wrote I have a paying service was only to answer to the question "why" I wrote so close to matches start. And I was honest to say it. If you read back, you will never find these. And I am not here to "catch" someone. I respect your point of view about FREE PICKS, please respect mine, because what you say is not correct. There are tons of good services that sells picks. If I can have a profit from my skills, why not? It's a job, nothing more. And do not forget that here, on sbr I always posted true picks, and I was sincerely happy to let someone wins. If you don't consider paying to receive picks, ok, no problem at all, but I think there is nothing wrong on who decides to invest something to have money back with a good service.
Last but not least, I am not here to change your mind, so if you want to change opinion, please, you are welcome.

And if my way of posting is not liked, admins can just write to me and tell me to stop and I will do it for sure.

Once again, good lunch (to me)

interesting pick Loufunk, I saw a lot of people thinking that there was value in Dolgopolov.
and well done on the Bellucci pick, winning the 2nd set 6-2 makes it very hard for you to lose your +2.5 games bet

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Good work Lou. Good work.

[cheven]

I was worried for a while Dolgopolov was on fire at the start of the set. I don't understand why does he ruins his service games by being so wreckless.

He's very wreckless indeed, enjoyable to watch him play though. He should easily have closed out that second set, he gave away that break earlier in it as well.

Isner went from -220(highest) down to -160 right before match started...

Come on Harrison!!!

[WSU_Tbone]

Really don;t bet tennis much, but I've been tailing you for a week or so and just had a question about the +2.5 play. Basically are we banking on Harrison being able to win 1 set? If not, an outright win, we would need 7-6, 7-6 games to be able to win our play? Am i looking at this correctly?

Nice one Lou 2win and 1lost today.

[Coopertrooper]

Have enjoyed seeing your work Lou, even if I don't bet on the tennis all that often.

I remember someone mentioning about the use of Betfair and how the commissions effect your overall results. I use Betfair a fair bit too for tennis, and I've been on your picks a couple of times and received abut the same odds, before commission, so I'm pretty sure you post the odds you're getting before commissions? It is helpful to do that, as people may have different commission rates, but do you take out the commission that you pay and take it into account? Obviously it wouldn't change your numbers drastically while your sample of bets is still fairly small, but long-term if it has an effect of even 1% it can still appear to be miss-leading.

I certainly don't think you try to miss-lead anyone, but if you don't already, I think it could be one thing you can improve on. If you're posting your true net results, and you're posting most of them before matches start (obviously real life can occasionally affect that) then you shouldn't worry about anyone detracting from your thread, because you're offering your picks out of goodwill, which is the entire reason for us to be on this forum.

Keep up the good work bud

Fail pick..

[jimm246]

Fail pick..

Its not over till its over and if we do lose. We just have look ahead for the next one.

[cheven]

what a come back, I backed Monaco for a small amount at +1000 when he was down 2 breaks just for fun

[kneighfe]

Its not over till its over and if we do lose. We just have look ahead for the next one.

DEFINITELY RIGHT!!! Monaco, playing all out. On to the 3rd set now. Even if he loses, I still think that loufunk still made a good pick. BOL to us.

[tb1984]

The brief passing shower was also a big break

[jimm246]

Now from here on its going to be a nailbiter guyz.

[jimm246]

Monaco did try hard but a little short. O well

[kneighfe]

Monaco did try hard but a little short. O well

Indeed! On to the next match, loufunk.

[loufunk]

Monaco did try hard but a little short. O well

Monaco is a pussy I saw the match.. he hit the net 100000000000000 times like a 100 of WTA
Janko just waited for unforced errors of Juan.. that's life.
Looking Forward

Tournament: Newport
Match: Isner vs Hewitt
Pick: Hewitt to win a set *
Odd: 1.65
Stake: 10 u

My Rating
Isner 82.59
Hewitt 132.19




* I usually don't bet this way, but when I saw +3.5 games odd, that is 1.50, I saw no value.
To bet on under over 23.5 games is coinflip, so I just thought that if Hewitt remembers only for a set that was number one... in that 1.65 could be value.
