Great picks. What’s next?

@PayMeHardRock

 Appreciate it.  Hopefully more wins.

@kaianna

 Yeah Fonseca has won 6 straight. On the other hand, Khachanov has lost 4 out of 5 matches.

Only factor is that Khachanov might be a little more rested but taking Fonseca has value.

6-2 

Close, but no cigar

@kaianna

 Have you looked at Pohankova?

6-2

ATP PARIS

Fritz @-135

@kaianna

 Just saw this and took him at +250 small

Hopefully he can make a comeback.

@kaianna

I take a risk on live bet at +2000 with small amount of money (just $100). Good luck to all!

@teslaxyz

 Yeah mine just hit +2000

I wish I had waited lol

@bringit

 Odds are pretty even vs a ranked Parry.

@dayknight

 Very impressive first set. Nervous start down 0-3 and double break and then she wins 6 straight games. She's definitely talented. Barely any pro matches but she won girls Wimbledon this year.

@bringit

 Yeah I believe she has a bright future

I posted this to you bringit about 1 hour before the match started, however my thread would not post, it kept saying "spam".

anyway, what was I missing. I lost very small money just out of curiosity as I knew that that short line of -133 for Parry gave me pause, the book makers 95% of the time has the lines on point or so close that its almost insignificant.

D. Parry -133      over       Pohankova

Hey bringit, what am I missing here. You liked 17 year old Pohankova yesterday.

Why is the line Parry -133 over a 17-yr old ranked #659. I clearly know that rankings don't mean a lot in capping however I bring  up her ranking because I think its relevant here because at age 17 she is making her way onto the main tour, and she clearly does not have the experience yet and has not played the caliber of players that 23 yr old Parry has played so that’s why her ranking is at #659, she has not played enough matches at the wt6a level to get the [points quick enough to be ranked higher..

Parry is still young at 23 with a lot of hopes, dreams and aspirations and is not just going to roll over or lay down for a 17-yr old. She does not want to be embarrassed. So, she will be fighting

She is not injured to my knowledge and is trying to get back into the top 100.

She has more power than Pohankova, most 17 yr old girls are still physically not able to out hit a 23-yr old, seasoned pro.

So bringit or to any other board member ………….why is this line -133 so short? What am I missing.

I bet Parry small just out of curiosity as to what I am missing and don’t know. Thanks

@glenjean

 I try to pay attention to what's happening in juniors and there's been a lot of hype around her. Watched her for the first time against Hibino and was really impressed.

Parry is typically a much better player than Hibino but I watched her a couple weeks ago against Putinseva and last week against Cocci and she was in poor form with practically zero confidence.

These late season tournaments always seem to be random coming out parties for players too, even if you don't hear from them again for months or even years.
