3. 15 units on Roddick at +450.
4. 15 units on Federer at +440.

all my US Open bets were made before the draws came out.
Kick, do you know if these draws are completely random?
Toughest 1/4 is the bottom 1/4 w/ Federer,Blake,Scud,
Nalbandian,Novak and Moya.
Top 1/4 is pretty easy for Agassi. Mirnyi,Gonzalez might
put up a test but Agassi should get to the semis.
2nd 1/4 is looking real nice for Hewitt. 10/1 is a gift imo.
Lopez,Srichaphan, and Ferrero should be beatable for the out of form Aussie.
3rd 1/4 should be easy for A-rod. His toughest match will be in the first round against Henman.
Bottom 1/4 will be tough. I'll be rooting for Federer of course.
I'm predicting Hewitt to beat Agassi
and Roddick to beat Federer
w/ Roddick beating Hewitt in the finals.

as for the women
i like clijsters over davenport in one semi
and henin over capriati in the other
w/ clijsters finally putting it all together and beating henin
in the final.
Another Belgian final.

yes nick......draw is completely random......it's done in public and for all ITF events there has to be at least two players there to witness the draw......I remeber once in Germany where I was the player rep.....and I drew myself against the 1st seed in singles and the 1st seeds in doubles...........man I was so pissed at myself

and speaking of the draw:


Roddick versus Henman 1st round

the depth in the men's game is a joke......all the top chicks will win their first round in like 10 seconds...and then there's the guys fighting their asses off............and oh yeah...equal prize money.......what a joke And oh yeah....guys play best out of 5 sets......females play best of 3.......

 

[kickserv]

as for my future plays.........I'll post em by Sunday..want to see who drops out (always a couple Luck Losers) and how the qualifying shapes up


will make a decision on some of these........some of these look mighty good:

Sjeng Schalken $81.00
Andre Agassi $7.00
Jiri Novak $81.00
Younes El Aynaoui $101.00
Max Mirnyi $161.00
Wayne Ferreira $151.00
Todd Martin $141.00
Paul-Henri Mathieu $326.00
Wayne Arthurs $451.00



Justine Henin-Hardenne $3.50
Chanda Rubin $67.00

 

[kickserv]

and dam nick.........you went hard on the future bets.....wow

good luck


think your safe with the chick picks


but as for the men...........ya never know (depth depth depth) that's why I always take huge dogs..........but then again.......you knew that

 

[nickcage100]

yeah i did. This the most by far I've bet on futures for any event.
I have a good feeling that it will be an all Belgian women final
and 2 of my 4 should reach the men's final.

 

[nickcage100]

7. 2.5 units on Capriati at 17/1.

Why not? Great value imo. Capster might have to play Venus in the quarters. Of course, who knows what physical condition Venus is in?

 

[walleyek]

I still like Coria's chances.

 

[nickcage100]

8. 3 units on Davenport at 14/1.

 

[kickserv]

sheesh Nick...is there anyone you haven't put money on

 

[nickcage100]

not betting on venus

 

[nickcage100]

the payoff won't be as great as it was w/ wimbledon and french open futures as i'm making more selections but i have a good feeling that both finals will be stress free for me.

 

[THE ONLY ONE]

I still like Coria's chances.

Coria has NO chance period.

 

[kickserv]

well this is men's tennis remember....everybody has a chance....but even know Coria has a great draw.....I'll be shocked if he makes the QF's.......see him losing early inspite of his great draw

 

[THE ONLY ONE]

Venus Williams withdraws from the US open

The Belguin woffle's are so lucky....

 

[kickserv]

ya think women's tennis lacks depth........now no Williams sisters..........OH MY GOD

 

[nickcage100]

Venus Williams withdraws from the US open

The Belguin woffle's are so lucky....

Lucky? How so. Venus has been hurt since Wimbledon
and not played since. She had no chance to win unless
she was healthy which she obviously wasn't
yet the books had her up there w/ Kim and Henin.
I'd like to see what Capster and Davenport are now going to be
6/1?
