Dear Mr. Pinnacle: We know that those dirty Republicans snuck the internet gambling law onto an anti-terrorism bill in the dead of the night and dared anybody to vote against it because they would be pro-terrorist if they did, but they're gone now. It's OK, they can't hurt you anymore. The Democrats won't come after you, I promise. As long as we're not hurting anybody else, they'll let us spend our own money however we like (what a crazy concept).
OK, after that plea, all of us filthy Americans should be able to get back on Pinnacle soon. You're welcome. I really wanted to get in a tennis pick last night for Sunday night, but Pinnacle was the only game in town. Even this morning, there aren't many places with lines up yet (Pinnacle probably had them up 24 hours ago), so it looks like we're going to Bookmaker:
G. Simon -110 (Bookmaker) over G. Monfils, 1.1 units to win 1 unit
Two young Frenchman facing off in the 4th round, but Simon appears definitively better on the hardcourt than Monfils. Last year, Simon won the title at Indianapolis, made the semi-finals at the Rogers Masters, and the finals at the Mutua Masters in Madrid (which was indoors). Monfils upset Nadal a couple of weeks ago, which is what may be keeping this line low. Line steadily creeping up, so I'm getting it in now.
Ironically, the only reason I even have a Bookmaker account is because CRIS did the same thing as Pinnacle (banned Americans) after the Senate's dirty tricks, and transferred all of their American accounts to Bookmaker. This is usually the point in a tournament where you're looking for Blake to lose a match that he should have won, but as a decent-sized underdog tonight, I'm actually considering backing him. Maybe I'll talk myself off the ledge before tonight.
