odds from Betfair

Gicquel match was somehow pushed back from 6:30 to 9 AM.

[yisman]

Nice day, but I just missed on the huge upsets.

Rybarikova took Razzano the distance (tied 1-1 and then lost 6-4 in the third set).

Craybas lost 6-1, 3-6, 2-6

Safarova lost 2-6, 6-4, 2-6


Could've been really good with the huge odds on those players. Oh well. It was a good try.

[yisman]

argh, Pironkova took the first set and lost as well.

Rybarikova (+215) over Razzano, risk .5 units
Craybas (+280) over Vesnina, risk .25 units
Safarova (+580) over V.Williams, risk .5 units
Pironkova (+520) over Pennetta, risk 1 unit

Really wanted the last one.

Rybarikova, a +215 underdog, lost in three sets.
Craybas, a +280 underdog, lost after taking the first set.
Safarova, a +580 underdog, lost in three sets.
Pironkova, a +520 underdog, lost after taking the first set.

On the plus side, Chakvetadze (+310) won in straight sets.
K.Bondarenko (+235) won in straight sets.
Chardy, a slight underdog, won in straight sets.

Eighth seed Christophe Rochus will return to his first-round match with France's Nicolas Devilder all square in the third set tomorrow after heavy rain forced an early end to day one in Belgrade.
Belgian Rochus had won the first set 6-3 but lost the second on a tie-break before rain forced the players off with the third tied at 5-5.
All of the other scheduled first round matches will be played on Tuesday.

I'll submit picks as soon as I can tonight.

Cirstea (over Ani) and Mathieu (over Gremelmayr) I considered, but the price was too prohibitive.

Cirstea and Mathieu did in fact win.

Brutal losses on Zheng and Chakvetadza. They had the upsets in their grasp.

[yisman]

mixed bag so far. Brilliant call of the Serra upset, but Lisicki retired to steal another huge upset from me.

Jankovic lost in straight sets, and I had a couple of brutal losses.


Clement lost 6-1, 4-6, 2-6.

Cirstea lost 4-6, 6-1, 4-6.

Montanes did win. I'm now 3-0 on ones I stay away from because the odds were a little too steep.

ok posted. sorry, was having Internet trouble.

[yisman]

Dunno what to say.

Great value on Kunitsyn. I'd say it was one of my top 5 best bets since I started posting tennis picks here. Another close loss, and this seems to happen an awful lot when betting underdogs. All I can say is to keep betting them and you'll hit enough to make it worthwhile.

[Spanks]

Dude...is there any kind of logic to your picks or do you just like betting heavy underdogs...you play way too many matches to turn a profit...I'll play a live dog too but Igor against a natural claycouter for 7 units is ridiculous...

Not at all, he almost pulled the upset. It was great value.

I don't pick every underdog, and I've been turning a pretty nifty profit.

If I saw anything to indicate my system wasn't working, I'd tweak it. It's working well. The only problem I'm having is unit management.

Just a note for you on Vassalo-Arguello, I read that he has a back problem that has forced him to retire in a couple matches in successive tournaments. Don't know if you're already committed to the wager, but thought I'd pass that along for whatever it's worth.

[yisman]

thanks for the tip. I was not aware of that.

I'll still give it a shot, but at slightly less.
