Sloane Stephens vs Serena Williams - Who says Serena is going to win?!

[Untied]

haha I know... seriously I'm in shock. Worst part is I didn't see one second of this match. Over at TI they're talking about her being injured... was she or no?

Unlikely. Monfils-esque. Serena just wanted an excuse, she was 100% in that last game, credit to Stevens at the end.

[Trigger7672]

Great call!

[dontknowhowtobet]

Congrats on your win. But you most definitely got a break with Serena's injury. Be humble FFS!
Shit happens sometimes. I've got a future bet on the Palestinians bending over your sister.

No, I don't understand what is it you're asking.

I did mention some facts, check my original post.
I did mention Serena had a long Doubles match.

I said it clearly, what was in Brisbane where Serena won in 2 sets is not going to repeat itself, I took into consideration these facts.
You are just refusing to appreciate my bet, so I'm not going to argue with you anymore.
As I said enjoy yourself and keep on betting in BetIslands.

Serena got back spasms in the 2nd set. Physically was poor until some time in the 3rd set and then it was really all mental. She was up a break and blew it.

Ah ok, that makes sense. Couldn't figure out the timing of what happened reading over there and didn't know she was up a break. If her brain let her down in the 3rd and not just her body then too bad for her.

Congrats to those who took Sloane on the ML!

[dontknowhowtobet]

a little guy from Israel buried the entire board with this bet ...well done!

lol thanks !

[Optional]

Same as Shari. Walked in and sat down just as Stephens won.

What a shocking start to the day!

Nice work dog backers

I'm a logical person. Obviously you are not. The ankle injury you referred to, was completely separate from the injury that affected Serena. I don't deny there was value in taking Stevens today, but don't act like it was never in doubt. And your NBA under: you can't seriously bet on patterns, like you claim. And expect to win long term. It's foolish. It's almost like you have no knowledge of these sports whatsoever.

I've made more than £6,000 out of these NBA bets. (net profit, after losses and yes, there were a few)
I'm done arguing with you.

Keep on being logical and bet in BetIslands.

Thanks Trigger7672.

Youre full of shit. All your posted wins are after the fact. I wish you well, but you are truly an idiot.

Sir,

This is what you guys always say, you guys like to remain idiots so be my guests ... it's just proving to me why I won't have an official topic with all the bets I've placed because you never appreciate what people do here, never.

I guess the NBA under 190.5 was also "got lucky", right?

Seriously, this is why I was fed up arguing with people here .... keep on betting in BetIslands .... I'm sure you would make money this way.

bro first of all listen congrats on winning. but you based your whole bet on a link about serena tweaking her ankle in doubles! she lost the match because of a back injury....it is ok to say you got lucky..

[dontknowhowtobet]

No, you guys underestimated Stephens as a player, I didn't, that's what my bet was based on.
The injuries were only a bonus, I wouldn't bet on Kirilenko to beat Serena if she had to play instead of Stephens in that match because Serena would have buried her.

Young players are the best ones to bet on, because the bookies dont "know" them yet, this is why I liked these odds very much.
I'm sorry but you're trying to take away the credit for me on this bet, this is nasty.

Here from the 1st page:

I disagree!
You guys understimate this girl so much, I have no idea why.

Stephens doesn't quit, she keeps on trying all the way. Yes, Serena is a big fav, no dispute of that, but I would never ever bet £10,000 on Serena to get £300 against Stephens ....

[dontknowhowtobet]

And here's shari's tip for me ...

Personally just from being the staff member who sees most of your posts, I'd think you'd be better off wagering to win $10 on Serena than wasting anything on Sloane. But you're right... shit happens. But it's not going to happen in this one particular match barring a massive injury = retirement or some fluke event. Not yet for Sloane. GL though!

Sorry but you were underestimating wrong.
And when I do come with a 1.05 bet you guys are laughing at me....

Either way the purpose is to make money, be it 1.05 odds or 11.00 odds.

[Untied]

So I assume you will be taking Sloane Stephens against Azarenka?

"However, Williams came into the match carrying an ankle injury picked up in round one, and appeared to turn it once again in the second set."

[dontknowhowtobet]

No, I won't touch this match because it doesn't worth the bet now the bookies will factor Sloane's performance, the odds won't worth it...
Seriously you are annoying person.




The odds on either player don't worth it, these were the odds I was actually expecting to see for Stephens-Williams.
I hope you got an answer now, argghhh... so annoying.

Why are you bringing me up? That was totally my tip. And I still stand by it. Seems the event Sloane needed to happen, happened. I didn't see you or anyone else predicting Serena would have back spasms so you might want to simmer down on that one.

[Duff85]

I wonder how much money the books made off blown Serena futures and ML parlays... Good day for them.

And a GREAT day for Sharapova future ticket holders.

And those that laid Serena on Betfair!

I have no idea why you guys have problems if I like to bet on 1.05 odds ... betting on high odds like today are very rare, which is why I usually like small odds.

Regarding back problems - it's coming all together, you play lots of matches so don't expect to be 100% fit, although I still think she WAS fit, she just missed points and she had a break and missed it as well, and that wasn't the back, that was Stephens playing so well if you haven't noticed ...

This is the 2nd half of Shari's post. And this is exactly what happened, and Shari was correct. Serena's back injury in this match was barely enough to cost her the match. "fluke event"

Great hit. I had a future parlay on Serena and Djokovic just for fun. Purpose was not to bet a lot of money on a future, so did not take two singles. I made $2200 on the first 4 days now it is harder to make profit and actually I began losing.

Your record speaks for itself. You just waste too much energy for justifying yourself. It will also bring negativity to your perspective and picks. Just ignore comments and enjoy your bets and money, you dont need negativity in gambling. This much attention seeking will be detrimental in the long run.

Anyway great call, keep killin' it

I have no problem with you betting on small odds - in fact I've never made a comment to you about that. Some people feel really comfortable doing it and others don't. Typically I don't because the risk vs payoff isn't worth it to me but I definitely have, especially when live betting. I've been lucky enough to win and then also had massive chunks of my cash wiped out too, all trying to make a "guaranteed" $20. Do whatever works...I don't think anyone really cares what a stranger on the Internet is doing with their money to be honest.

[Cuse0323]

It was all because of her back. Those unforced errors were on the back but those overhead slams were just grit and determination.

[Cuse0323]

And that back was sure hurting when she destroyed her racket.

Couldve been an excuse, and she sabotaged herself. Maybe she got a cortisone injection, and it kicked in after a few games. Whatever the case, I lost some respect for Serena there. Not very professional IMO.

Nothing new from her, she's a sore loser and if she's gonna lose it's because of an injury.

[kenz]

When her legs are not working and her mind is not 100% into it, she is very beatable.

On a given day, if some mediocre-to-promising player wants the game 100% when Serena is 50-60% into it she may lose.

Makarova, Razzano, Kerber, Stephens... She was close to losing the Wimbledon Final to Agnieszka Radwanska when Radwanska was having serious respiratory problems... These players are not even remotely close to what Serena is capable of

Azarenka and Sharapova show more heart in similar circumstances.

Congrats! I also had some losses, you just need to set your own limits, and self-discipline is the key to make more money in the long term. I lost money on some NBA plays, so I told myself that tomorrow there will be a better day, and it was, this is how I managed to make more profit than losses.

It's sports and sports has surprises.
I took UNDER in one of the NBA plays with Portland ... and it did go under only there was OVERTIME and it screwed my bet.

So same day halftime with the Lakers line was 212, way more than original line and most games ended OVER and lakers had a pattern of ending it UNDER so I took UNDER 212 and recovered it easily, match ended with less than 190 pts if I remember correctly, I don't remember the dates and teams .... just saying sports has surprises, so when you bet you gotta factor in all the conditions ...

It doesn't work 100% but if it works for you 70% that's enough to make lots of profit long term.
