Starting out the year with a WTA pick.
I have Vania King over Sybille Bammer at +110(5 dimes).

Record: 0-0

[ji03]

This is the Brisbane tournament by the way.
All plays are to win 1 unit on favorites and risk 1 unit on dogs

[ji03]

King over Bammer 6-4 6-1.

Record 1-0 +1.1 units

[ji03]

Play #2: Rybarikova over Garrigues at -115 (5 dimes)

[ji03]

Play #3: Levy over Llodra +240 (5 dimes)

[Tsonga]

llodra on hardcourt is pretty good - why take Levy?

[ji03]

I don't really have any stats to back up my play, just from my own evaluations I like Levy at greater than +200 odds.

[Tsonga]

the only stat that works for you is that levy likes playing lefthanders...but I think Llodra wins here.

[ji03]

Yes, I did see that, but since Levy has played more more on the Challenger circuit I didn't find that too meaningful. The goods news though is one of us will win. Good luck

[Kav]

way to much chalk on Llodra at -280, i took a swing at levy at +225. he's 8 out of 9 against lefties, go levy!

[dtp]

gl sir

[Kav]

WINNER! levy!

[ji03]

Yep Levy wins 6-2 6-0.

Record 2-0 +3.5 units.

[ji03]

Rybarikova over Garrigues 6-2 6-3.

Record 3-0 +4.5 units

[ji03]

Play #4: Carsten Ball over Zverev +140 (Pinnacle)

[SRBI]

Nice work so far J...and looks like most of us are on Ball tonight. GL!

[ji03]

Thanks, yeah I like how Ball plays.

[SRBI]

Any idea why the Ram match is taking so long to begin?

[ji03]

Well it has begun now, he's down 4-1 in the first set, 2 breaks.

[ji03]

Play #5: Gallovits over Navarro +165 (5 Dimes)

[ji03]

5-1 De Bakker over Ram in the first.

[ji03]

De Bakker breaks once again to take the 1st set 6-1.

[Tsonga]

nice pick with levy - it was a blowout too...was that just on the lefty stat that you made that play? good pick.

[ji03]

No, not just on the lefty stat. I have seen both players play and I just figured the match would be more 50/50 than +240 would indicate, so it was more like a value play.

[ji03]

Gallovits loses 6-4 7-5

Record: 3-1 +3.5 units

[ji03]

Ball a winner 7-5 6-1 over Zverev

Record: 4-1 +4.9 units

[ji03]

Play #6: Rezai over Cibulkova at +115 (Bodog)

[lcf]

Good value at Brisbane, double tournament. Bruno Soares and Marcelo Melo to beat Roddick and Blake.

[lcf]

Sorry for posting here Josh.

[constrictor]

nice picks

[ji03]

LCF, yeah if you could post your own picks in your own thread it would be appreciated, but if you would like to discuss my picks that perfectly fine.

Thanks

[lcf]

That's fine. It was a mistake, I completely agree with you.

[ji03]

ok thanks

[ji03]

Reazi loses 6-3 6-4

Record: 4-2 +3.9 units
