Anyone else liking TOJO over Toothless Ukraine tomorrow? :)

Not betting anything on Houston til I get either Live Coverage or Live scorebord..... :p

I like TOJO over broken legs.

Beto Martin @3 BET365, pound it.

yes sir, beto's been hot....im gonna ride him again tomorrow....

good luck fellas....

Gonna Parlay: Gaudio & Nadal

i'm going to back davydenko in barca into lapennti in houston, pays about 2.2
POUND

ToJo, Beto, Maxi with little stakes

Toothless will break his think legs & retire...Tojo is a fighter.

Who is beto ??

Thanks Guyz,

Which players have enough practice for FRENCH Open & will play but don't care ??

Guyz please type the correct name so things remain simple.
who is pistol pete? i never figured that one out :sad:
is it peter wessels?

Thanks Guyz,

Which players have enough practice for FRENCH Open & will play but don't care ??
agassi

yep but I am thinking of few UPSETS for tomm

Acasuso @ 1.40 sounds good... possibly in a double with Lapentti.

Who is less likely to be upset: Coria or Canas...thanks in advance

I think either CORIA or NADAL will LOSE as they will face each other again in 3rd Round.

They don't wanna face each other again after FINAL.

NADAL may be much more tired.Nadal played even doubles yesterday.

bloody sportodds still dont have the full board of matches yet :mad:

if Nadal is keen, he'll win, but if he is too non-chalant, and Dominator decides to play himself into some form, we could see a repeat of the Andreev-Nadal match.

Coria didnt look good yesterday against Pistol Pete... but then again Calleri was lucky to win. hard to pick, so the value is obviously with Calleri.

Acasuso x Lapentti x Gaudio @ 3.60 is my current proposition :)

Who is less likely to be upset: Coria or Canas...thanks in advance
Acasuso is more of a sure thing than either, and he has better odds.

I'm on ToJo x Hernandez x Hrbaty @41.66 with not soo much money

CORIA Vs Call is 2-2
( all on clay )

I am checking ODDS @ many books

:eek:

i wouldn't touch the nadal or coria's matches

better and more safer options elsewhere :cool:

I think that Coria won't go too far in BArcelona, i've backed Wessels yesterday @ 17, and now i'll try to back Calleri @ 5.15...

i wouldn't touch the nadal or coria's matches

better and more safer options elsewhere :cool:


BG,

(CORIA vs Nadal)

I am sure of 1 thing ...they don't wanna see each other so soon again.

wessels at $17?

who are your bookies mate? the russian mafia?

Acasuso and Moya....

mafia from curacao, bg :)
pinnaclesports.com :)

canas, tojo, beto

ToJo and ukraine is definitely 50/50 - though the choke jobs both have been committing in the past couple of months would lead me away from betting on the match, and saving myself from a potential heart attack

LOL agree.

Baty leads NADAL 3-0 HtH... :eek:

is ferrero really playing bad enough to lose to martin?

and what happened to gaudio against Rafa last week? how come these guys can never have a close set... its either one way or the other.

For me the question isnt, is ferrero playing bad enough to lose, its is Martin playing good enough to beat Ferrero? And i think so!

news travels slow to sydney thanks to sportodds...

beto martin @ $2.55, you got to be joking


lets do it :cool:

if you want the easiest of easy parlays this weekend, go as follows:

Sydney Roosters (-4.5) $1.85
into Manly Sea Eagles (-9.5) $1.85
into Fremantle Dockers $1.35
into 01 St Kilda Saints $1.33
@ 6.14

then how about this one ;) mr birthday boy - Acasuso x Lapentti x Gaudio @ 3.60

wrong thread my friend - will look into that parlay though and get back to you
i hope you've been backing my eagles too, theyre the safest bankjobs behind roger ;)

Acasuso x Gaudio x Lapentti x Moya @ 4.80

beto :banana:& maybe chucho

nadal, davy, acacuso = parlay, pays 2.13.

ToJo and ukraine is definitely 50/50 - though the choke jobs both have been committing in the past couple of months would lead me away from betting on the match, and saving myself from a potential heart attack

If you think that´s a 50/50 match why not take Tojo?

Also adding Ferrero, Moya and Nadal in a parlay, pays 2.48.

Good luck! ;)

i've read reports that centre court is quicker than your normal clay courts - fact that lopez could trouble ferrero yesterday so much (he is after all a shithouse claycourter) and the beast's impressive performances coupled with moya's recent shocking run of form

= no bet :)

No bet means that you're unsure about the match. I was thinking more about fixed match or something. :p If you were so sure about the beast, then you would have taken him, but you didn't ;)

My bet of the day in Barca - Ferrer to beat Gaudio. Everyone keeps underestimating Ferrer and Gaudio is no superstar despite his French win last year
15/8 Ferrer is value

I fully agree, sir! Ferrer has a big chanse here.

Lets hope we are right then MK

I have to confess I was on Alberto earlier as well - 1-6 2-6 is a bad error. If you lose a close one you can still justify what you did - but I was way out on that one!

Yesterday's luck hasn't continued... shit day today so far.

Beto got crushed.

And Coria was part of my big parlay. Geez!

Large single on acasuso

Anyone know what Stepaneks best odds or Betfair odds were today??

Stepanek ruined my parlay! :bigcry: Still, I had a lot of luck yesteday, particularly with Calleri, Wawrinka and Horna. Can't win everyday I guess.

What were Canas' odds then?I Then I can work out Stepaneks...

What were Canas' odds then?I Then I can work out Stepaneks...

around 1.30

Cheers adk

fu canas :shout:

Oschie... are you anybody else today?

Acasuso and Gaudio?

acasuso later maybe blake thats it for me today

Moya is a fuckin joke choking twice @ 4*-5

Canas moosed me over and Beto got caned but the cavalry comes to save the day in the form of a beast. :drive:
Cheers Max :yippee: :yippee:

do you think calatrava can upset agassi ? :)

do you think calatrava can upset agassi ? :)

I hope to goodness no! I doubt it - Andre would have to play badly.

worth a go at $8

chucho :smash:

Guys,

Who fancies Kim over Lapentti?

Guys,

Who fancies Kim over Lapentti?

I was really liking the prospect of a Lapentti win, particularly because he plays on clay every year and Kim has played and lost most of his 3 or 4 matches on the stuff in his life! However, I think I will leave this one alone as the dogs certainly barked today...and Horna gave me nightmares last night after I left the match at 1 set all. :lol:

I'm taking:

Lap over Kim tonight.....Lap plays over 53% of his matches on Clay...and Kim's game is more suiteable for grass/hc as we all know it.....

I'm nailing Oscar Hernandez over Grosj tonight.......Dude, OSCAR plays 98% of his matches on clay......Grosj? ummmm......like 19%......Gotta go with clay court specialist.....

BTW, Way To Go STAN WAWA! :)

liking your thinking

i'm taking lap over kim too, smaller play on hernandez, and blake over dupuis

gotta make up for today... was AWFUL!

adk, i hear you brotha!

Moya killed me today (He got beat by the king of clay, "Max Mirnyi")....but, WAWA made it up for me.....Blake is on FIRE lately....You should be pretty safe with that pick.....Blake won some clay tourney last week, I think.....



Tomorrow, I'm really liking HORNY over RODDICK.....We all know how UNSTABLE RODD is on CLAY.....hahahahahaha.....Prob a small play.....

ToJo drove my day from good to bad...

beast :yippee:

beast :yippee:

He saved the day for me. :)

What about the b'day party, mate? :drink:

adk, i hear you brotha!

Tomorrow, I'm really liking HORNY over RODDICK.....We all know how UNSTABLE RODD is on CLAY.....hahahahahaha.....Prob a small play.....

Man - be careful! Blake is more than likely to go off soon and Dupuis is just someone hoping for a major break. Plus they are locked 1/1 head-to-head so Dupuis knows a little about his game. Also, the court is horrible so Blake might be a little tentative in his matches especially as he almost finished his career last year.

Horna is 100% guaranteed to lose so save your money ;) He was sh*te against Goldstein apparently and he was on a 9-match losing streak prior to this tourney. Rod may not be having his best year but he is better than Luis and he won't drop a set.

(He got beat by the king of clay, "Max Mirnyi")....but,
he had 17 bps against a former FO champion... unbelievable.. Moya is playing awful this year he earned his ticket to My Black List

moya is going to be a non event on dirt until he sorts himself out

moya is going to be a non event on dirt until he sorts himself out

exactly

A little off-topic but what do you guys say about betting on the dogs tomorrow and raking it in? :)

Wawrinka def Stepanek
Nadal def Calleri (okay - no dog!)
Mirnyi def Davydenko
Ferrero def Gaudio

Stan could beat a knackered Step. Mirnyi - he has been awesome so far and Kolya is beatable. However, I guess he will fall soon and we will all have backed him! Ferrero is locked 5/5 head to head with El Gato but he won their last meeting at DC in 2003 6/4 6/0 6/0!! :eek: :eek: In fact he has won his last 4 meetings on clay with Gaston and only lost to him once in that time in Cincinnati, and that was a close match. Gaston has only beaten J-C once on clay at ATP level. Okay they have both gone different ways since then but J-C is finding some good form and consistency and Gaudio has done nothing special on clay since his double-title-whammy in February.

Any thoughts?

moya is going to be a non event on dirt until he sorts himself out

He aint gonna want to tap into the ATP Entry Rankings page in 3 weeks time!! :haha: :haha: :haha:

jez, start a new thread for Friday's play ;)

for today, gotta take nico lappentti to beat kim, shame no NBA today games to parlay it with though :sad:

lol i miss the NBA!!

About to take Lapentti over Kim, but the number of time he's lost on clay this year to nothing opponents worries me

moya is going to be a non event on dirt until he sorts himself out

I'm gonna kick Moya's and Chuchos asses :mad:

true, but kim is anything but a dirtballer.

any views on this anyone?

2000 posts!!! WOOHOOOOOOOOO :silly:

any views on this anyone?

Mate I am sooooooo tempted but I'm not sure I can trust him. Nico is making a slow comeback but yeah he has lost to some nobodies on countless occasions. His qualifying performance was not anything to write home about either, but you have to be impressed with his dismissal of Zibby longstockings. However, Kim is having his best year on tour and gave Garcia a whipping which is impressive for someone who has played and lost 90% of his 6 clay matches of his life! Kim is dangerous...I'm not sure I'm going to play it, but if i did, i would be on Lapentti. ;)

Yeh...

May sit this one out too

:yippee:

grosjean over hernandez?

Pffff...Sebbie has done little for a while...since grass last year. Before this tourney his last win on clay was last year, probably during his dismal clay season of 2004. Hernandez has been crap too, but he is a dirtballer and Sebbie has got worse on the surface. I'd leave this one alone or maybe put a little on Oscar.

Nothing decent to play tonight!!!!!

Seriously Adk, look at the Friday thread and the match-ups there. There are several really good ones, and I'm backing mostly dogs tomorrow. Lapentti and Grosjean could burn you. I try to stay away from backing out-of-form players...they are too unpredictable.

Nothing decent to play tonight!!!!!

Precisely my thought! ;)

I'm going to hold on to my small profit present from the Beast and invest it in Barcelona tomorrow....probably right back on the Beast!!! :haha:

Yeh. Just have that feeling where I feel like a bet, especially to make up for today.

But will hold out for tomorrow!

Gonna have a look at those matches now.

Cheers Jez

I like them all....cept for GG....

JCF will get a little taste of that sweet GG tomorrow......(damn, that sounded gay....lol)

GG rolls tomorrow and WAWA's gonna continue his winning train alive... :)
