Cool, how was the cawfee?

I'm trying to find a bet for tomorrow...

 

[uvelocity]

well it was 3/4 of a cup that was free really, and it was fine thanks

 

[NUFAN]

Should have bet your life savings on Jerzy, then you'd be able to afford a full coffee or two.

I quite like Istomin to defeat Seppi, paying $2.25, they met at Wimbledon last year and Istomin won in 5 sets. It should be a good, close match. I haven't actually put a bet on for this match though.


Stosur vs. Zheng has been a decent match so far.

[NUFAN]

Assuming you bet the same each match, you are doing well. I was surprised at how high the odds for Stepanek are, I picked Lopez thinking he'd be an upset, not the fav.

I have bet on:
Maria Sharapova @ 1.012
Na Li @ 1.04
Agnieszka Radwanska @ 1.012
Kei Nishikori @ 1.083
Ryan Harrison @ 1.61
Ekaterina Makarova @ 1.18
Stanislas Wawrinka @ 1.11
Dominika Cibulkova @ 1.18
paying $10 @ $2.91 WON $19.10


David Ferrer @ 1.02
Madison Keys @ 1.18
Mona Barthel @ 1.40
Fabio Fognini @ 1.72
Sam Querrey @ 1.071
Kevin Anderson @ 1.071
$10 @ 3.30 or so LOST $10

Jerzy Janowicz $25 @ 1.28 WON $7


PROFIT = $16

Some of those bets in my multi were a bit ****. Just wanted to add a few short priced favourites to increase the value of some of the bets.

sportsbet couldn't cover that bet

I stopped multi betting on tennis tournaments (at least in the first week) a while ago. Too many times a $1.25 lock loses in the early rounds which ****s up your multi.

Generally I just bet on individual matches, and try and arbitrage or bet in-play to get value.

 

[NUFAN]

Typical sportsbet.

Yeah I rarely bet on large multi's but figured what the hell, not betting big money or anything. In the first bet, I really just wanted to bet on Harrison and Cibulkova but included a few gimme's to jack up the odds slightly.

The second bet, I just wanted to bet on Fognini (who lost) but added a few others, I was surprised Barthel lost.

Tonight I'm betting on Tipsarevic and Anderson @ 1.32.

 

[Simon]

Im expecting Malisse to beat Verdasco tonight, looks like free money if you ask me.

Paying $2.36

Don't jinx it though.

Meanwhile, old man Stepanek dominates the first set vs. Lopez. ****ing love Radek. Ugly as ****, annoys people in the lockeroom, does the worm dance, bangs hot chicks. What a man.

 

[morgieb]

Wow, way to choke Stosur.

 

[Jono]

Was watching the finish. That is ridiculous, how the **** did she lose that?

 

[Burgey]

That is a disgrace from Stosur. Weak as piss. Less weights, more time on the sports psych's couch.

Wake up to yourself.

 

[morgieb]

Sharapova induced her second double bagel of the tournament, ouch.

 

[benchmark00]

Inflicted the more appropriate term IMO.

 

[benchmark00]

Holy ****, this chicks nostrils.

 

[Simon]

Wow, way to choke Stosur.

Some people just can't handle the pressure, amazing to think she actually won a grand slam.

 

[benchmark00]

I think when it got tight, Sam's serve volley game deserted her, and that was the key.

 

[Johnners]

Geez Novak looks in ominous form. That shot to finish the 2nd set was crazy good.

 

[benchmark00]

One of the great chokes from Stosur, but what a class act she is. Her press conference is just another reminder of how she's the most likeable Australian tennis player since a young Peter Luczac took to the practice court.
