    Never betting on Fognini again.

    Oh how I wish I never watched those two clay tournaments a couple years ago that Fog played amazing in and swept in back to back weeks. That amazing level he played at convinced me that if Fog gave a shit, he could beat all but a few of the top 10 players on clay. The problem is, Fog caring or the planets aligning or whatever it takes just doesn't happen enough to stop me from losing thousands on his bullshit. I wish the guy who destroyed Nadal last year on clay multiple times showed up more frequently but I guess the motivation just isn't there for him. Anyway, I'm officially done and if from this point on I ever bet on him again, I deserve to and hope I lose.

    Anyone want to join me in this pledge? Or you can add your own player that is causing you to hemorrhage cash.

    I can't pledge it.
    Will try to be more careful (if there is such a thing with him)
    but he's a riot. He laughs and gets mad at the same time.
    Did you see him throw the racquet ? It stuck in the wall like a dagger.
    Ramos looked awesome, he is upticking.
    We can't be too careful with Fabio. Pennetta is very wealthy, so
    he doesn't have the monetary incentive.

    I understand man but be very, very careful. You just can't predict when he will care. Even today, as well as Ramos played, the effort just wasn't there for Fog. The way he tanked the last service game of the 1st set was simply shameful. Maybe that was strategy to start the 2nd set strong (which he did) but it just rubbed me the wrong way. And what about last weeks abysmal loss to Robredo (his first match of the year)? Then when you think Robredo might be in form and ready to take this tourney after his long layoff, he swiftly gets sent packing by Monteiro. This week though, Fog went through Robredo easily, I guess even Fog felt embarrassed for last weeks tank job. And yeah, the most impressive thing he did today was pierce that wall with his racket.

    Fognini, Dolgopolov, Kyrgios, Tomic,
    These 4 "superstars", never put any money on them, or just fade them if you spot a chance.

    I agree with that list, although sometimes they still manage to reel you in. Dolgo was pretty impressive in his last tourney win. And Kyrgios will probably end up #1 in the world at some point, so here's hoping he matures quickly.

    I had a bet on Ramos-Vinolas @ 2.40 I just couldnt believe the odds for this former french open quarter-finalist.
    Fognini is overrated.

    I would bet you real money at least two of these guys bet on their own games. Too bad we'll likely never find out.

    No doubt about it, or they were just given with a lump sum of money to throw the match instead of betting on himself.
    But it's just like the good players are never to be inspected/published. It's always only the low ranking players being published.

    I will say, Fognini and similar guys are often good for unders. When they don't give a shit, they just get thrashed. When they do, they typically win easy.

    Amazingly, Fog and Pennetta have won more than $20M in prize money. Not bad

    in a three-setter.

    This is the maddening aspect to Fognini, when he is up to it, he can beat most guys in conditions that suit his game. If you take him to win every match though, you'll be in the red real quick as he loses matches he should win far more often than winning matches he should lose.
