Picks for Monday first round matches:

scale= 1 to 10 units

(all odds from Sportsinteraction.com)


Women
----------

S Testud beat P Suarez at 1.53....................5 units


Men
-----

A Corretja beat Ulirach at 1.36.....................6

T Johansson beat F Squillari at 1.66.............4

D Sanguinetti beat J Knowle at 1.44.............9

M Zabaleta beat J Vacek at 1.20...................6

D Hrbaty beat M Kratochvil at 1.72................4

S Schalken beat I Miranda at 1.28.................6

A Pavel beat M Lee at 1.06.............................10

N Escude beat F Meligeni at 1.66.....................6

A Gaudenzi beat P Sampras at 2.62.................2

N Lapentti beat J Nieminen at 1.53...................5

C Rochus beat A Hadad at 1.44.........................7



Notes: Escude will not lose in front of home crowd.....same holds true for Testud........and Pavel needs to make short work of Lee so he'll be ready against Hrbaty so don't worry about a Pavel letdown.......Gaudenzi will keep Sampras out there a long time, the man is built like a bull, if he wins the first set I can't see Sampras coming back to win in 4 or 5 sets, so I think 2.62 is a good price!

CHA-CHINGGGGGG!!!

kickserv kicks some serious tennis butt on day one

even my borrowed plays made some cash

All that and the chance to see Hantuchova v Cara Black :kiss: :brows: heyes :jump: dance2

 

[nostromo]

Anders, I have been wondering about that...were these plays borrowed or are you that guy

More rain delays than in Wimbledon :thefinger

Kiefer sucks so much he can't convert 40-0 situations and Escude was trying hard to make 30 unforced errors a set. He's still hanging in there though. Parlays are still alive too.

 

[kickserv]

Great start for Anders and Kyle (kickserv)......SWEET!

Well things went good for me on Day 1.......here's how it went:

(Note some matches were suspended during play and some matches never got started.....Day 2 will see the completion of these matches!)

DAY 2 Picks

Men
-----

Escude beat Meligeni at 1.66.....................6 units
(continued match from Day 1....Meligeni leads 2 sets to 1)

C Rochus beat A Hadad at 1.44.........................7 units

N Lapentti beat J Nieminen at 1.53...................5 units

A Portas beat A Ilie at 1.53..............................5

X Malisse beat A Popp at 1.33...........................6

D Nalbandian beat A Calleri at 1.61...................6

O Marach beat F Sarreta at 3.50........................2

J Boutter beat I Labadze at 1.28........................10

J I Chela beat A Voinea at 1.28...........................8

J Novak beat M Youzhny at 1.28......................... 8

M Puerta beat K Pless at 1.72.............................4

O Ogorodov beat M Hipfil at 3.00.........................2

S Koubek beat N Coutelot at 1.36........................7

R Schuettler beat S Galvani at 1.40.......................4

C Pioline beat V Spadea at 1.36............................10


Women
----------

A Smashnova beat F Schiavone at 1.36.................7



Notes:

Going with Puerta because he cruised through Qualifying and should have enough to get by the pesky fighter Ilie........yes Marach is ranked in the high 200's but he had an impressive qualies and on the men's tour there is little difference between 271 and 72. And every Grand Slam has a guy who plays out of his head, I think Marach may be the guy......Same holds true for Ogorodov, he had an impressive win vs. Siemerink in qualies and may catch Hipfil napping. The price of 3.00 is worth a shot!....The two best bets are Boutter and Pioline, both French and both will win. Boutter has been playing well and Pioline always steps it up in Grand Slams!....and finally I like Koubek, he just loves the dirt! And this Grand Slam is his fav.....he knows he's got Ferrero in the 64's and he'd love to play him. He's not going down in the first round, his draw is too good for that to happen, yes Coutelot is French, but that won't matter. Koubek will take care of business!


Good luck to all.........





and come on Leafs......you can do it!

 

[Trampled Underfoot]

kickserv,
I think you are up a little more than 5.88 units

Lets get them again today.

 

[kickserv]

I received some e-mails asking how I came up with me only being up 5.88 units when I went 7 wins 2 losses.......well I was dealing with profit margin.........see below and this should clear things up!

(remember I use a 1 to 10 scale on my picks)

S Testud beat P Suarez at 1.53....................5 units Loss (-5)

A Corretja at 1.36.....................6 unit Win (+8.16=2.16 profit)

T Johansson at 1.66.............4 unit Win (+6.64=2.64 profit)

D Sanguinetti at 1.44.............9 unit Win (+12.96=3.36 profit)

M Zabaleta at 1.20...................6 unit Win (+7.20=1.20 profit)

D Hrbaty beat M Kratochvil at 1.72................4 Loss (-4)

S Schalken at 1.28.................6 unit Win (+7.68=1.68 profit)

A Pavel at 1.06.............................10 unit Win (+10.60=.60 profit)

A Gaudenzi at 2.62.................2 unit Win (+5.24=3.24 profit)


Total profit margin is 5.88


or like most cappers do it............I'm up 45.55 units after Day 1!!


(Note I think Anders made a little less then me on Day 1.....but I'm not sure if he included the Gaudenzi win over Sampras!)

This should clear up the confusion....or at least I hope so...maybe somebody else can explain it better then me!
:shade: :shade:

but no matter how ya cut it I did well ..........all I know is I just took SportsInteraction for over 900 bucks on Day 1......but yes I know......not every day is a winning day!!

Later.....and keep the e-mails coming! And don't worry for now on I won't do profit margin.....I will stick with winning units....that way the number is higher and it looks like I'm smarter then I actually am!


Once again sorry for making things so confusing!!

 

[Anders]

Nope, hadn't included Pistol's departure

Day 2:

Youzhny $3.25 o Novak (2 units)
Lee $2 o Knippschild (6)
Sanchez $2 o Acasuso (4)
Russell $2.25 o Di Pasquale (4)
Multi: Hipfl/Coria/Sluiter/Malisse/Mirnyi $4.16 (2)

Playing all of kickserv's bar the $1.28 plays - hey, I have a chalk limit

I played/play all units to win ( ) unit, so yes, day one profit was rather monstrous

GL all

 

[kickserv]

sorry quick correction..........

Koubek pays 1.50 to beat Coutelot not 1.36

:Yep:

there that's better!

I am usually good with numbers but you got me lost here how did you get those -0.25 units

These rain delays are killing me :shrug: O.Rochus and Blake haven't even started yet, so still waiting for parlays to come in

so far, 1-2, -0.63

 

[kickserv]

oh maybe I did mess up......I've been known to do that! What did you figure out!?? I always deal with profit margin (that's the way I gamble).........tell me where I messed up!

......and yes.......lots of rain delays!........just move em indoors!!!!

good pick with Koubek.....NOT!......guy didn't even win a set! What was I thinking!
