Honorable Handicapper first post and pick

[HonorableHandicapper]

Gilles Simon vs Kevin Anderson -155 5dimes

Simon got by Raonic in 3 sets in his last match which is fantastic but Raonic is coming off surgery and didn't play for an entire month leading up to this tournament. Raonic's movement wasn't crisp to start the tournament (taken to 3 by Ward) and it certainly wasn't any better by the time he got to Simon. Anderson will be crisp because he has the whole package including serve that can take advantage of the grass courts which will eventually drain Simon here. -155 isn't too bad of juice to pay in this spot, some argue it should be higher.

Like I say with the juice, it's just business but if pick your spots and you're not reckless, you'll always be in business.

Working on 3rd round. Might have a 2 unit play for later.

US OPEN 3rd round Patrick Reed -123 vs Branden Grace bookmaker *** 2 units ***

 

[HonorableHandicapper]

Andreas Seppi +4 games won (-130) vs Kei Nishikori 5dimes

Nishikori has looked awful on serve in this tournament. Even though he doesn't prefer grass, Seppi has looked quite opposite and should have fresher legs considering his opponent (Monfils) in his last match retired early (after 1 game) in the 2nd set. This match will be close.

I don't even see crane. I only see vs grace?

 

[HonorableHandicapper]

Yeah, I put Crane instead at first. I edited it out quickly. LOL. No clue why I did that. Similiar to Grace? I don't know. My mind went blank there. It's been such a busy morning with tennis and working on golf. It's at -135 at bookmaker now. They were slow. I would still play it at -135 but that's just me.

Federer wins two tiebreakers against Karlovic, match goes over. Anderson defeats Simon in 3 sets. Nishikori (of course) retires while Seppi was up 4-1 in the 1st set, which results in NO ACTION.

US OPEN 3rd round Rory Mcilroy -150 vs Jim Furyk bookmaker *** 2 units ***

 

[HonorableHandicapper]

This is so wrong on so many levels but anybody see any Jason Day props?

W WORLD CUP Sweden vs Germany over 2.5 goals (+101) 5dimes

You can plan and plot all you want on how to stop Germany (play defensive minded for 90 minutes) prior to kickoff but once that lock is officially broken (and it will be because Germany is too damn good), things dramatically change especially in a round of 16 knockout game. This one goes over late.

 

[HonorableHandicapper]

McIlroy shoots 70 (E) defeating Furyk 73 (+3) in round 3. Germany 4 Sweden 1, match goes over.

Lets go PATRICK REED!

Giants at Dodgers over 8 (-115) 5dimes Tim Hudson vs Carlos Frias

 

[StevieRay]

Reed gone brain dead a few holes

 

[trixxonu]

reed straight up imploding right now

 

[HonorableHandicapper]

Brutal golf going on and of course I bet on the guy who is doing the worst. One can't help to wonder if Spieth's start to the round forced Reed's hand a bit. Nerves probably played a role as well but Jason Day though, unbelievable. Imagine if this guy goes on to win it? I'll try to redeem myself for all those who just bet on Reed today. Apologize.

 

[HonorableHandicapper]

Reed implodes in round 3 shooting a 76 (+6) vs Grace 70 (E). Giants 6 Dodgers 2 Push on total of 8.

21-11-2 +25.26 units on the year at the rx

All these guys at the top are just worn out. You can tell. Final round is going to be a circus. A complete circus. Should make for great entertainment.

Karolina Pliskova +2 games won (-120) vs Angelique Kerber 5dimes

 

[HonorableHandicapper]

US OPEN to win Dustin Johnson +305 bookmaker

Rarely play these type of bets but considering how well he's been driving the ball, we have no other choice than to take a shot here.

 

[HonorableHandicapper]

Kerber defeats Pliskova in 3 sets, fails to cover the 2 games.

21-12-2 +24.06 units on the year at the rx

I'm always curious how things go from the books perspective. Now Dustin Johnson is +300 at bookmaker, I mean really? Gamblers are scared now. It moved too much. LOL and if my $100 bet moved it, well, that would be a joke. I just love the battle, that's why I enjoy what I do. I picked up on something in the women's world cup that will put us in prime position to cash today. I just need to dot my i's and cross my t's first before I put it up. It's a big play.

Actually back to +305, LOL.
