[THE_THONG]

im gonna guess soderling will take down fed in their draw

 

[kegray1]

Kick-
You bet Julien +7.5 games -110 but not at the +525 to win.
Shame on you.

Tim Sylvia calls Julien a "Legend".

 

[kickserv]

Well depending on the book you bet it at, you may have actually won on that Benneteau match. Benneteau won:scared :scared

(Gulbis retired in third set)

 

[kegray1]

Legends always win. Ask Tim. Julien was spanking him before the puss quit.
Gulbis knew who the better man was.
Sadly I didn't play it.
I was sleeping on the job.

 

[kickserv]

Well Day 1 didn't go great........

Gasgay folds again to Beavis
:mj07:

 

[kegray1]

Kick-

Any thoughts on Ginepri +348 over Querrey?
Ginepri made a nice run in '08 French reaching 4th round.
Querrey history on clay is bad to say the least.
He had a nice run earlier this year at US Clay champs but the competition was weak.

"Beavis"

Too funny:142smilie

[kickserv]

If I were to bet on that match I'd go with the Robby Ginepri odds of +348. And yep you are correct he had a great run in Houston. But my problem with Ginepri is his fitness. Best outta 5 sets on clay is hell, and he can "check out" rather easily. That being said, Sam Querrey has been known to "check out" himself. I think Robby is a "live dog" that's for sure, I just can't play him myself because of his fitness. No way in hell I'd take Sam Querrey at his odds though, that I can tell you for sure.

As for big underdogs I like Marc Gicquel.

Or ummmmmm......how about Gianni Mina at 99-1:scared

 

[kegray1]

Yeah I was eyeing the Frenchmen Gicquel and am gonna play him.
Never seen Riba but not impressed with his stats at those odds.

Day 3 Plays:
Straight plays:

Marc Gicquel(+215) over Riba for 100 wins 215.
Robby Ginepri(+348) over Querrey for 50 wins 174.
Andreas Seppi(-5 games) (-120) over Ventura for 120 wins 100.

Adding one more:

Nadal(-12.5 games) (-130) over Mina for 130 wins 100. This seems crazy to say a guy can't even win 6 games in 3 sets, but let me remind you of what Nadal did at Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters on clay earlier this year:
Lost a total of 14 games in 10 sets. :scared
Mina is not gonna know what hit him. I see it like 6-2,6-1,6-1 and that might be generous.
Good luck

 

[THE_THONG]

"Beavis"

Too funny:142smilie

 

[kegray1]

Ginepri and Seppi step up for me.
Gicquel does even put up a fight.
Need Nadal to take the 3rd Love or 1.

 

[kegray1]

And now Nadal gives up game 1 of the 3rd.
That bet is in SERIOUS trouble.

 

[kickserv]

You went head to head against kickserv......how dare you:nono: :nono:


Although, nice win with Robby:SIB
