Round #1

O. Rochus -155 (5 units) [I don't care how well Guccione is playing at home. This is a 5 set match tournament. Rochus is the better player. When it comes to crunch time I will take Rochus anyday in this matchup. Rochus should be a -200 favorite. I think Guccione is getting too much respect in this one!]

Nieminen -300 (4 units) [Complete mismatch against the always frustrating and always underachieving American.]

Srichaphan -210 (4 units) [I am surprised Paradorn is only a -210 fav. He is a grinder and a very hard worker. He should wear Sela out.]

J. Johansson -300 (3 units) [Strong service will overpower Lopez. He is a sleeper in this tournament.]

Wawrinka -275 (3 units) [Always like Wawrinka. He gets a favorable matchup against Kim.]

Karlovic +100 (3 units) [Karlovic can either dominate or not show up. There won't be a middle ground. I think he will dominate.]

Ginepri -190 (2 units)
Greul -130 (2 units)
Monaco -130 (2 units)
Vliegen -125 (2 units)
Dlouhy -105 (2 units)
Kunitsyn +125 (2 units)
Chiudinelli +175 (2 units)
Clement +185 (2 units)
Arguello +220 (2 units)


Delic +150 (1 unit)
Patience +190 (1 unit)
Jones +220 (1 unit)
Hanescu +225 (1 unit)
Massu +320 (1 unit)
Becker +475 (1/2 unit)

Re: MadCapper's Aussie Open PICKS Thread!

There are still some matches that the linesmakers havent posted lines for.

I am also waiting for 5dimes to put out there spreads.

Re: MadCapper's Aussie Open PICKS Thread!

The Karlovic line is moving against me. Its a 3 unit play for me at +100. It has already moved to +109. Not a great sign. Right now I consider this a small line movement. But if it becomes a big line movement, I would suggest that you don't play him. Big line moves in tennis usually indicate something is going on with the player and/or match.

These lines are bad. Hopefully people that dont live in the US will still use Pinny. I will be hitting 5dimes hard when the lines come out. I wish they were out already. Plays posted above were lines from Pinnacle.
 
Re: MadCapper's Aussie Open PICKS Thread!

I`ll probably parlay some favs in the first round till it gets serious..5 Dimes, Cris and Diamond Sportsbook allow them..Sports InterAction allows only one tennis play per parlay

Jo,

Parlaying favorites, nig favorites, in Tennis is usally safe in early rounds. But the payoff is never too good unless you make alike a 7-10 big favorite parlay.

I mean the obvious 10 man big favorite parlay is:

Federer to Roddick to Blake to Hewitt to Murray to Davydenko to Gasquet to Haas to Nadal to Ancic
 
Re: MadCapper's Aussie Open PICKS Thread!

Yeah..I know man..Greek has decent tennis lines too..I just moved over to WSEX from Pinn and looks like they have it all too..@ least Pinn paid up..Looks GREAT for them if they ever return

Also..Sometimes I parlay tennis plays (Favs) with other sports to beef up the payout..Got a 7 teamer alive still with 5 guys from the Heineken tourney+Colts and Pats ML..Would pay handsomely..I can already ML SD tomorrow and guarantee a payout..but I wont..Gonna go for the throat:cool:

Re: MadCapper's Aussie Open PICKS Thread!

One really big line movement against us overnight....

Srichaphan went from -210 to -155

He was a 4 unit plat at -210. I am not that scared with the line movement. But if it moves anymore I would get off it and concede the juice loss.

Koubek -225 (3 units)

I wish I would have taken him at -195 (the opening line).

Is Schrichapan match off? Cant find the bet on 5Dimes...wanted to unload on Sela, as Paradorn is injured and is playing like crap. Last week some unkown Czech player (1-22 record on the 2006 atp - or very similar) ws killing his ass, before he eventually retired. And with 5dimes...bets stand from the first serve on...any info?

Re: MadCapper's Aussie Open PICKS Thread!

Not sure. It is definitely a NO PLAY for anyone now. He's hurt and will probably be forced to retire. I bought back double on Sela just to break even on the match.

Damn MC you're betting all these games?

That's over 5k on the line good luck!
 
Re: MadCapper's Aussie Open PICKS Thread!

This is overwhelming (because of NFL) and only played a few..

I got lucky on Arthurs over Koubek..Koubek took first two sets and ran out of gas..

Parador must be hurt..Good thing you hedged..

I am with you on Dlouhly..

Arguello crapped out on ya after showing some promise last year.....

NICE call on Delic:cheers

I lost my ass -330 on Calleri right off the bat:(
 
Re: MadCapper's Aussie Open PICKS Thread!

Hey MC -

I'm thinking of parlaying Marat Safin -680 & Novak Djokovic -420 for a large amount. Are they both guranteed winners?
