You know what, this'd all be a lot easier if PF went back to playing marbles with his chums in the alley between the canteen and the sports shed. Just no keeps, you hear?

I prefer dominoes.

Getting off track, but it's not just when you've bet on the outsider. It's when the market moves favourably to the position you already had. You could back Federer at $1.15 and lay him off at $1.01 and be greenbooked.

Yeah, it's not how I use it though, don't back big faves TBH. Yet your right of course.

PF is actually also right in a way, I used to object to doing it myself, TBH. Over the years though pragmatism takes over.

Anyway, doubles is on the telly, how shockingly dull, needs more rain this tournament, when the footballs on preferably.

Yeah I quickly backed Federer to win the tournament after the 2nd round (when Nadal became favourite and Fed's odds went out a bit), because I knew eventually Federer would wipe someone off the court and become favourite again.

Nadal became favourite?! You don't mean during a game do you? The highest I've seen Federer get out to was about $2.70, and the lowest I saw Nadal get to was about $3.30 if memory serves.

Good position to be sitting on now though anyway.

 

[Jono]

Yep Nadal was favourite at one stage.

Come on Berdych, you can beat Federer in a best of 5 sets match. Just believe! You have the game!

 

[Jono]

BERDYCH BREAKS IN THE THIRD!

AND NOVAK CRUISING INTO THE SEMIS

Fallen from $48 to $7.6 to win Wimbledon. SOOOO GOOD

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH!

 

[Mr Casson]

This just isn't Fed-like.

 

[Jono]

****'s sake Berdych. Worst time to hit two double faults. At least make Federer earn a break.

 

[Jono]

WHAT A HOLD!

Federer circa 2004-2008 would have broken there. No doubt.

 

[Jono]

BREAK BERDY!

Come on son.

 

[Jono]

COME THE **** ONNNNNNNNNNNN!

Yes. Finish him now.

 

[Jono]

Nadal broken on his first service game by Soderling.

That's got 4 or 5 sets written all over it I reckon.

Hey, British fans, I thought you were supposed to get behind the underdog, d*cks. Carn Berdych!

And Carn Soders, also. 3-0 already, well on his way to the first set.

I was thinking this also. I've never understood why tennis fans are so fascinated with watching the same old bloke win over and over again. How can you furiously applaud and cheer something that happens 100 times a year?

 

[Jono]

I've been saying this for ages. This British fans supports the underdogs is the biggest load of crap. It's an excuse for Brit fans to hate on European soccer teams for mine.

 

[Mr Casson]

Berdych winning this set in a tie-breaker would be an absolute skinner.

 

[Jono]

COME ON BERDMAN!

1 more point.
