[stats13]

uh oh

[Pew Pew]

Stories like these makes me want to believe the books/meda are trying to get as many people to bet on Djoker to drive Olderer's price up so they can profit..

[jjgold]

6 figure tennis bets at Betfair are common

A few Aussie boos too also take many six figure wagers on tennis

[belvedere86]

federer won 1st set. cashed my all in play on djoko not to win with 3-0 (odds 1.44)

[donkdown]

if this is real this guy's money is gone!!

[xlilsp1keyx]

how much is this in US dollars? lol, poor guy is about to lose.. there goes his streak, you think this shit is actually legit or just for people to follow his bets?

[Cuse0323]

no house for him.

[beefcake]

This guy must be shitting his pants right now..

[vyomguy]

120k down the drain...federrer wins.

[MichaelWaters]

must be a made up story there are so many other things to bet on besides vs the best tennis player ever who hasnt dropped a set all tournament

pew pew is right this line should have been Chokeovic -180 Federer +140

[Gaskan]

And very little chance of winning...

Or not ...

[bettilimbroke999]

I'm not talking about cutting his limits, but actually increasing them. Those are way above normal - thus he'd have to lose a crapload first to get them increased.

Willhill actually have a really profitable highrollers department that takes care of these guys.

I disagree, though I am from US so I cant play at willhill so I cant say for sure, but since u say Will Hill has a high roller department then perhaps they grade your action, if you're just allin at bad odds most of the time where its inevitable you're going to go broke I dont see it as that hard to believe they would accept your action, if they have any balls at all they would know this would be in their best interests to book your action or you will take your business elsewhere.

Now if you are a sharp gambler (recreational gambler is just a nice way of saying guaranteed money for the bookie, those guys who play video roulette are recreational gamblers) then yes you are right they would never let you bet this high as they think you may win, clearly a guy betting like this (unless hes getting good odds almost all the time) is just giving his money to Will Hill, you can win 26 big favorites in a row all in but then one loss and its over if you bet like this guy you are guaranteed to lose, why would Will Hill not book that action? Federer up 2 sets to 0 right now so if this story is true Will Hill is about to win 120k if not then they just got some free press

[yisman]

As stated, I'm sure they have no problem taking large bets from guys who make bad bets like this character in the story. The limits would be for sharp players. Every book I know of is like this. They're not limiting based purely on who is making money. They're looking at the type of bets being made.

Many books have high rollers who they allow to make big wagers, even if their limits are not great to standard players.

[bettilimbroke999]

Agreed, you've got a guy here who is trying as hard as possible to give WH his money. Their general limits sound very low but in cases like this Im sure WH is more than happy to book this guys bets.

[JW Cash]

should be a good match.....the fed will go down to defeat and his head will be spinning....

[refrain87]

Thanks for the stream link. NBC is like 4 sets behind lol.

[yisman]

also nbcsports.com has a live stream

[timmyboy34243]

some serious butt puckering taking place this afternoon.................

[Sanka]

This guy must really be kicking himself right now

[koscheckbaby]

Seriously, why don't you hear about athletes being killed by gamblers. I'd want Novak dead if I put serious coin on the guy. All year he's played amazing tennis, just to lay an egg when you bet heavy on him. If that gambler has connections, I wouldn't blame them.

[stevek173]

funny shit

[refrain87]

lol federer just had a more improved serve this time aroound. May not be as great as his prime, but theres a vast improvement in it. Fed won due to his Aces

[donkdown]

That dumb ass punter will be living somewhere like this now!!

[ttwarrior1]

nothing wrong with being like sanford and son

[bettilimbroke999]

His wife walks in, so I was looking at mansions today....

Nevermind, Djokovic lost we're broke

Oh, well in that case I'll start looking for divorce attorneys ya degenerate ****

[koscheckbaby]

You have to wonder if the fix is in sometimes. It always seems the heavy bets are losers. Remember that poor fella that bet 1 mil on Nadal over Ferrer at the AO. That result made absolutely no sense.

federer outplayed him today....he did not lay no egg.

[reformed]

federer outplayed him today....he did not lay no egg.

in the fact with the amount of break points federer had this could have been a quick 3 set routine demolition.

[JNic]

real tough one here for this guy. Djokovic didn't lay an egg here in my opinion he obviously wasn't at his best but everything was against him, the crowd, Fed's serve, his nerves to become number 1, not to mention him constantly slipping on the clay

[bettilimbroke999]

Betting 120k pounds against the best player of all-time at -300, wow

If true, wow, that dude will be living in the gutter soon but he has huge cajones

[koscheckbaby]

Slipping, shanked balls, whacking 2nd serves long and into the net. That's ALLLL shit Djokovic hasn't done all year. Maybe he didn't play like a tomato can, but he was definitely at a much lower level than he's been all year. That's pretty obvious. People just love Federer for some reason that they want to give him credit.

[donkdown]

I think the books lost money on this match to be honest!!

djokovic is more than willing to take a dive for a few million (the difference between 1st and 3rd prize money is 900,000 euros). not sure if that was the case when these "large" bets are 100k though.

all it took was 2 points in each tiebreaker and federer would've lost so shaving in tennis would be quite easy if there was enough money in it, which i doubt there would be.
