    Default SP's Tennis "Cross my fingers, hope all goes well" thread

    Similarly to the new threads I posted in the NBA, NCAA BB sections:

    Figured I wanted to start tracking my plays and posting them, sometimes I'll do writeups, other times no....I try to play at least a couple of matches a day, no promises..

    After seeing all the talk about unit f$ckery, I'll be posting bet sizes a la LB (1x,2x, etc) for both my convenience as well as any tailers/faders

    I unfortunately enjoy very little variety in the types of bets I can make on tennis on my books of choice, so expect mostly ML plays with the occasional future....

    For anyone wondering, I manage my money in a way with a philosophy I will be applying to these threads: i.e. I manage different sports units separately, if I do well in tennis one day any profits would be used only toward tennis matches (why pour winnings from something I may be good at into a sport I may or may not be as good at)

    BOL Everyone!!


    Upcoming Matches:

    2xAzarenka ML (-155)
    4x Henin ML (-275)
    1x Cilic (+115)

    stupid b!t(h couldn't close?!?! are you serious...li IS playing the best tennis of her life, but after the first set venus got complacent and effed my money up.

    For the record, I don't expect Djokovic to blow Tsonga out of the water 3 straight sets, but it's decent value to take a flyer on...
