(ledger: -16,985)

Pick: Kanepi wins in 2 sets (Zvonareva) +587, risking 500 to win 2935 :sadwave:

why: probably zvona is a little better and wins herself, but if not, then i don't see a three-setter but kanepi simply winning from the start straight through, and 587 is about 2x the straight dog price. also can hedge with live betting if kanepi isn't winning. am biased in favor of kanepi because she's won me a bunch of money, and only been blown out once, by clijsters. i expect at the least she is competitive here, but it seems that every time i take the dog + games it doesn't work out so i'll take this flat.

Pick: Kanepi-Zvonareva 20' under -110, risking 550 to win 500 :sadwave:

why: a pseudo-hedge in case zonva waxes kanepi. even if kanepi wins it could easily go under the number

POST-analysis: Kanepi not quite regular enough, not quite experienced enough to defeat Zvonareva. Within two years I think she will be defeating the likes of Zvonareva easily. Note that the dog (Kanepi) +4 loses by one game, and the total goes over by half-game.

Pick: Monfils wins 3-1 (Djokovic) +800, risking 500 to win 4000 :sadwave:

Pick: Djokovic wins 3-1 (Monfils) +239, risking 500 to win 1195 :sadwave:

PRE-analysis: lots of support for Monfils. I think Djok wins, but the price is too high given his weak mentality. Of course Monfils is also weak mentally. I'd rather be on the side of the mentally weak getting 3x than giving 4x. Either way I think they both get at least a set.

Pick: Djokovic-Monfils 38' under +158, risking 500 to win 790 :0074

why: price, no other reason. well, now that think about it after first set, also good if djok wins 3-0.

Pick: Youzhny -2 (Wawrinka) +110, risking 500 to win 550 :sadwave:

why: Querrey should have beaten Wawrinka but was too weak minded. Youzhny is stronger minded, and I think a little fresher and a little better. A lot of darps are on Wawrinka today. I think because he beat Murray more than any other reason. Imo, people are not realizing that Murray is Roddick Lite. Beating him is not all that great an achievement.

Pick: Wozniacki-Zvonareva 21 games over -110, risking 550 to win 500 :sadwave:

why: all these bets are versions of the same thing, so chances are they mostly win or all lose. i think this match turns out to be a real battle. cibulkova put up more of a struggle than i expected, and i think zvonareva will do even better, might win outright. wozniacki has been focused and effective the last few months, but she fairly often drops sets in matches she wins, and that's what i foresee here. either slow start, simply beat in a set, but somewhere today some real hard-core competition in at least one of these sets, producing either a tiebreak in the opening set, a lost set, or an outright loss in three sets. i give zvona a good 33-40% chance of winning here, altho i expect woz to pull through in the end

Pick: Nadal -285 (Djokovic), risking 1425 to win 500 :0074

why: there is a greater chance of nadal retiring from injury than losing to djokovic

Pick: Nadal -5 (Djokovic) -105, risking 525 to win 500 :0074

why: Nadal has his chance to complete the slams; he won't be dumping any 1-6s like Federer yesterday. these games bets do have a nasty habit of going sour but i think the incentive here is strong enough that nadal gives away absolutely nothing but an 0-40 point here and there, should there by any of those

Could be. Couple mediocre players, I like the price.
