So my guess is that the following will be your final 8 in the men's seed:

Canas vs. Costa
Pavel vs. Corretja

Ferrero vs. Agassi
Grosjean vs. Safin.

IMO, Corretja looks like he has a fairly easy ride into the finals. I'm going to buy a ton of him at WSEX for $8. If he makes it to the finals regardless of who he plays, he should be about $20-25 or so. And to be honest he has the skills to win it all particularly if the Ferrero vs. Agassi match is as gruelling as I expect.

Well....hope somebody follwed me with Corretja to beat Zabaleta at $1.44...................put my max ten units on that bad boy....and came up a winner.........that puts my record at 21-14 overall and I'm 8-3 for all plays rated above a seven

A Corretja beat M Zabaleta at 1.44...................10 units WIN



and great job Anders with the Canas pick!:Yep:

scale 1 to 10 units


Monday's picks
-------------------


J C Ferrero beat G Gaudio at $1.50...............10 units

S Grosjean beat X Malisse at $1.40...............8 units


Fell very confident in these two picks......especially Ferrero..yes I know Gaudio has been playing well........but this is where it stops! Ferrero inside out forehand will pin Gaudio at that baseline....and he'll get worn down....In my opinion Ferrero will just have too much for him........bank on it! As for Grosjean the homecrowd should pull him through.......how badly do the French want a French Champ!...there are three in the Round of 16's..so ya never know.......

I'm up up up for the tourney heading into week two and ya can't make too much money unless you go for it........so go ahead bet 100 bucks on Ferrero and make a sweet 50 dollar profit!


So good luck and enjoy the tennis!

21-14 overall and 8-3 for all plays rated above a seven

:kiss: :spotting: :Yep:

ok here we go with Tuesday picks......

(scale 1 to 10 units)

see above for my past results.........they've been good!


A Costa beat G Canas at $1.66......................8 units

A Corretja beat A Pavel at $1.40.....................10 units

C Fernandez beat P Suarez at $2.20...............5 units



Once again I feel very good about these plays..........especially Corretja........if Clement knew how to put away a volley Corretja would be out of the tourney.......Corretja is on his second life......and he's gonna take advantage of it! Does anybody remember Russell/Kuerten from last year!!!! Kuerten shoulda been out.....but he went on to win........And from when I was playing I can tell ya that when a guy gets a second chance he takes advantage of it...........I'm not sure Alex will go all the way but he will beat Pavel! So bet a hundred and make 40 bucks for yourself! As for Costa..........he's finally gonna breakthrough.....Canas will fall.......Costa looping groundstrokes will wear down Canas.......this is too good a draw for Costa...he'll take advantage and move through.........the Spaniards will advance!

Good luck!:D :D


and remember........all guns blazing on Corretja :bigun: :bigun: :bigun:

Well, well,well :)
At first day of 1/8 all(practically) underdogs won.
Next day, all favourites won :)
And kickserv was able to catch Corretja , Groesjan & Ferrero! Good job!

Now it's time for quaterfinals!
I'm not sure at any bet :shrug: , but...
Why don't try this?

Costa - Canas: 2@2.05
Corretja - Pavel: 1@1.37
Safin - Groesjan: 2@1.92 (Marat won't be able to win this RG. Local crowd will help Groesjan to defeat him :))
Ferrero - Agassi: 1@1.88

I'll go with Canas, Groesjan & Ferrero, and one double (groesjan+Ferrero).

Kickserv, anders do you have other opinions?

actually those picks look pretty good............but I haven't really looked that closely...........if ya want to go for a big payoff (ok not that big but worth a shot) go for the following........

A Costa beat G Canas and
A Corretja beat A Pavel and
C Fernandez beat P Suarez

pays $5.11 at William Hill........not too shappy......I put 50 bucks on it.......worth a shot.........:shrug:


or I suppose you could bet the house on Corretja......but maybe that might be going a bit far!!.........but maybe the car:D


and another thing......where's ANders??? Oh soccer......sure he's all over the soccer!.........or should I say diving.....man...can those guys dive:topic:

No, thanks!
I don't like Corretja, there could be a surprise... Better not, but still, Pavel is looking good this year... I like my house and car too much to bet it on Corretja :D

If you can, go take Canas - Gaudio OVER(38.5) !!!
I'm practically sure that it's at least 4-set match!

I don't have a bike :)

About OVER/UNDER in tennis and handicaps like Agassi - Mattheu(+7.5). That's handicap not for sets, but for games, won by player.

For example:
6-3 6-3 = 1(-5.5) - won, 1(-6.5) - lost.
6-4 1-6 6-4 = inspide of the fact that first player has won, counting sets we've got 13-14... Here , in this example total = 27 (usually they give 21,5, so it was outstanding OVER :))

Some russian bookmakers (trusted).

http://www.fonbet.com - i remember seeing something like "switch to english" on their site, so take a look :)
http://www.marathonbet.com/ - only in Russian, sorry :) but biggest in ex-USSR
http://www.parimatch.com - same trouble, install Cyrillic :)

That's all... Others are really weak and may not pay your winnings back, so don'y play with'em :nono:

Well, it's rainy in Paris :)
Go-go-go Canas (and it's look like that he has a good chances!)
