Let's go. Another season has arrived. Best sport in the world!

Going all in this season $ wise. By the end of the year I want to be known as one of the best tennis cappers on the planet

I will try my best to post every play, just tough at times due to mainly posting everything from my phone

All plays on Bookmaker, yeah I know I know, nothing like 5dimes but I have a great relationship w the guys over there and an awful one with 5dimes. It is what it is. Bookmaker will be offering a lot more props on tennis this year so that is a plus

Ok anyways, onto today. Finally dipped my toes yesterday at small stakes, doing the same today - besides two plays to start

Kohli -107 over Isner - Risking $107 to win $100

Isner as always is being overvalued and Kohli is being undervalued per usual. I will play him at these odds any day, both will be motivated I'm sure so no angle on that. Just take Kohli in this matchup nearly every time

Jack Sock +110 - Risking $50 to win $55

Sock is my boy. Love the kids mental makeup and love for the game. Talked to him a few times last summer in Newport and couldn't have been more impressed. He has been severly undervalued to start the year and think he is again today. Not going larger cause its not like hes reached the point to warrant one, but I love getting him at plus odds here against a very mediocre player like Agut. Had same play on him in the quali, and vs Haas last night.

Will have a ML parlay, DelPo being undervalued a bit. Will post that later.

Enjoy the season fellas, next week is going to be incredible
 
CTG mobile on my phone is all I ever use, love it.

Will be following you with these and keeping my eyes peeled for more plays. BOL, hope you kill it, slap! :cheers:

Good luck
 
I only got 100 down on him 88/1...I am throwing another 300 on 43/1 soon, he keeps going up. Withdrew today thank god. Needs to get it right before the AO
 
Tough loss on Kohli, goes to 3 tie breaks and only wins 1 of them lol. Oh well, that's why I didn't go large...so last 3 matches vs Isner he's won two (in 5 setters lets remember) and lost the recent one in 3 (all going to tb's).

I hope they match up again in the AO :)

Tomic absolutely mopped Dolgo. Crazy to see him undervalued in Oz.

Finished the day 1-2, -$43.00

Anyways, be back with some plays later for today. Currently like Tursunov +320, Stakhovsky +205 and interestingly enough Isner -235 (seems short by a bit though)
 
Isner had 7 break points he didn't convert, whereas kohli had 1 until the final game(of isner's), just pointing it out, good luck this aussie!
 
Is Serena at Even money to win the Aussie a good play Slap? I think she runs through the field and might put a max wager on it
 
No, its not. I gave a few thoughts in Dwoww thread titled "Serena".

I can give further thoughts later, but not now as I am driving and only came here to say I am not playing anything tonight. I tied John Isner into a few ML cross sport parlays, and do like Tursunov but line movement scared me away
 
I'd need 2/1 on Serena to go max. Womens tennis as a whole will see a rise this year and the forthcoming years. I'd rather have Wozniacki as wacky as it sounds 125/1 @ 1/100th of the wager youd put on Serena you know?

Like Kvitova as well. Vika a little, I could see her in finals for sure. Kerber OK value too

Wawa went up to 49/1 on Bookmaker today. I just added $200. Now have a total of 300 to win 18,000 on him
 
Just Isner if you're looking to add him to something. I did Isner ML + Oregon Ducks ML 200 to win just a shade under 200

Tursunov is a live dog. Rest of the lines suck though
 
I SHOULD have said Oregon LOL!

Anyways, draws are out...holy moly @ the top of the draw

Looks like an easy path for Nole, Wawa should make it to the Final 8 to face him for what will be another epic match. Pospisil poses a problem for Wawa in the round of 16, if he can make it there.

Berdych has a clear path to the Final 4 IMO. May have to put a little on him 27/1
 
Berdych will set up great for a hedge, I just don't see him winning it though. I think I have to fade Murray on the bigger spreads just lost a bit of a step.
Ferrer will be a tough cookie to crack as always and if you want to play 5 sets with him in the heat, you will lose.

As for the women's, I follow that more then the mens, be prepared to see a good run by the lower seeds in this tourney. Serena will only lose if she gets cocky but from what i've seen the last few months she's on a mission but again the price as we both agree on is not worth it for an entire tourney. Pironkova finally gets what she deserves, last year outside of Bouchard thought she was one of the best young bloods. She will be dangerous to play against.
 
Yeah Toronto, funny you say that about Pironkova, I should've been on her all tourny - I threw in a semi-buzzed late night bet on her after the Oregon fiasco to recoup some of my lost $. Didn't expect her to win, but knew she had the game for it. Took it 2-0 which I believe I saw @ 11/1...crazy.

She was in the Final 4 here a couple years ago correct? Love her
 
Two small plays tonight, think one dog will cash

Lu +185 - Risking $50 to win $92.50

Bernie Tomic +290 - Risking $100 to win $295 (does Del Po want to play another round after seeing his draw? Me thinks not)
 
Also playing Tomic 2-0 +600 - $50 to win $300. If Del Po doesnt want to be here this should cash
