[jayc88]

i'm on makarova as well,
Mirza had a lot of tough matches in pattaya last week and played her last match 24 hours ago in thailand against zvonareva .
Makarova not in a great form but i like her chances .

[LT Profits]

Glad we are on same side.

[EaglesPhan36]

The price got driven down pretty hard. Makarova opened at plus money.

[chikenkiwi2]

careful. shady matches today

[ZBOIZ]

do these matches come on tv?

[Tsoprano]

What's your record in Tennis, LT?

[Fiasco]

I'll tail for fun

[LT Profits]

Loser.

T, I think this loss puts me pennies in the red since 1/1. I will tally up and update on all future tennis threads.

[LT Profits]

OK, up-to-date:

5-9, -0.56

The winners were +124, +120, +145, +235 and +225

[daggerkobe]

What's that now... 3 straight losses?

OK, you're no longer the best tennis capper.

These tennis matches are pure guesses, you have no clue who is not trying, who is injured and who is looking ahead to future weeks and just getting some practice in. Big Big tourneys are the only ones to bet where you know everyone is trying..

[LT Profits]

LOL

Losing streaks always happen to dog players. If I could come back from -20 units in NBA amd CBB, this is nothing.

Also it's am added challenge as I now have another sport to track, making it that much harder to maintain my perfect record in winning seasons in all sports here.

[chikenkiwi2]

It's ok LT. Some real shady matches lately and inconsistent tennis going on. Like coach says...only big tourneys.

[LT Profits]

Not that I buy into the "shady" talk, but if it is true, that should benefit dog players like me.

[chikenkiwi2]

agnieszka losing to urszula this morning was shady and the tursunov match odds we're all over the place. They even took the match down at some sites. Better buy into it pal.

I don't know why you bother with tennis, LT. I don't think it's worth it.

While maybe sarcasm, this is generally how it goes with posting picks. It's much like the NFL where head coaches are lambasted under the public eye for losing a few games, a "what have you done for me lately" kind of mentality.

A capper could be 58% the past 5 seasons and plus units, but if he loses 3 games in a row he'll forever lose some posters on here too.

Anything that turns a profit long term is worth it. The lower profile sports are also usually easier to beat.

tennis has a lot of juice and I don't find that following the sport pays off enough to warrant it.
