Event started started V. Dushevina - A. Cornet (A. Cornet to win) 2.32 Pinnacle
Another pick I can't help but picking. Alize Cornet plays Vera Dushevina. Vera is top mediocre player. Her rank is 49. and when I say mediocre I mean, she is too good for 50+ players but she can't manage to win 5 games against girls from top 20 for most of the time. Her form is tricky, but she should play ok on grass. On the other hand, Alize is ranked 24th and she is dropping for a few months now. Her form is not so good, and last year she managed to lose in first leg of Wimbledon. So I belive she pooled herself together, and she will give a stunning performance if she gets a lucky draw. Last time these girls played was last year in Rome on clay, and Alize won easily 6:1 6:3!

Nothing private but I really wonder what first sentence ("Another pick I can't help but picking") means? Thought lots but can't get...

That's when you know you shouldn't be doing something and you end up doing it just the same (I shouldn't be picking this pick, but I did it anyway, knowing that I'll probably loose).
Its a figure of speach, and a common thing in english language.

stanmar, the bet should be canceled

Won F. Fognini - D. Istomin (F. Fognini +5.50) 2.20 Pinnacle
Another tricky pick. As I said before Fabio Fognini, young Italian hope, is playing not his best but enough to chip away some sets from time to time. He is #63 in the world and Denis Istomin is #79. Looking their form, I can't help but wondering why are the odds so low. I might say Denis has 60% chance of wining due to his better serve and hight, but Fabio is a good runner, and there is no lost ball for him.
Lets just look at last tournament, Fabio took 1 set from Dimitry Tursunov while Istomin lost in straight sets. Another thing is that Istomin often plays tiebreaks, and that suits me good. 1 or 2 tiebreaks, one lost set and thats it.

Good luck!

GeniusBets, what first half means in fifth-set match? If 1 set, the bet is lost, Crivoi lost 1 set but won the match.

Won V. Crivoi - B. Phau (1st Half) (V. Crivoi to win) 2.70 Pinnacle
Victor Crivoi have very nice serve, this romanian play very well on the backhand and very well play on the fourhand.But Phau Bjorn he is too old i think for win romanian star.His serve is not so good as in past.Victor Crivoi must win because he have very strong serve and very strong shot.And I think that a young tennismen have more chances to win a old tennismen, so that why i take Crivoi to win.

1st Half obviously means 1st Set

I just checked: in the feed I have this for Bacsinszky-Bartoli match:

<periods>
<period>
<periodnumber>1</periodnumber>
<period_description>1st Half</period_description>
<periodcutoff_datetimeGMT>2009-06-24 17:30</periodcutoff_datetimeGMT>
<period_status>I</period_status>
<moneyline>
<moneyline_visiting>410</moneyline_visiting>
<moneyline_home>-550</moneyline_home>
</moneyline>

While in the Pinnacle lines page that match is in 1st Set section.

[sm80]

I am afraid GeniusBets didn't see he made bet on 1st half, because i see he has made bet again, and again on 1st half, but in the text of explanation there is nothing about number of set.

Are there moderators here? The results of two bets i mentioned above should be corrected.

[Sharp]

I think he bet on 1 half because the odds are higher than odds on the match

tennis

If a tennis player abandons the match (at any reason) after it starts, the opponent is considered to be the winner. All remaining games and sets are counting as win by winner. For example if during 5-sets game player A lead by player B with score 6:0 6:0 and player A retire, the final score will be 2:3 (6:0 6:0 0:6 0:6 0:6). The bets in individual statistics (aces, double faults, etc.) consider according the result at the moment of match interruption. The bets on individual game should be void in case no points are finished.
