fvcking nadal lost the 1st set

**Fischnasty** · 02-11-09, 04:23 PM

yeah, came damn close to losing me 500. i guess thats what i get for betting on something i know barely anything about

I lost yesterday on Berdbych -1500. He won the first set easilly then just tanked on purpose it seems. He must've had someone bet a pile on the other guy and then alot more on live betting after the 1st set where he probably was getting +3000. Tennis is the easiest sport to rig. You only need one person.

these small tourneys are so easy to fix. i think you can only lay heavy chalk on grand slams...even then i would avoid heavy chalk women players.

the nice thing about tennis is that your bet has no action even if your guy retires. Thats saved many of my parlays. (although on the flip side it sucks when your pick wins by default but you dont win $)

**pico** · 02-11-09, 04:45 PM

depends. bet has action only after 2 complete sets. so if your chalk guy retires during the third set, you're still screwed

**Fischnasty** · 02-11-09, 04:55 PM

must depend on your betting site's individual rules. betus voids all bets after a retirement regardless of which set its in

Tennis is so rigged its not even believable, tennis players dont even try to disguise it, Davydenko played some unranked player when he was in the top 10 in the world a couple years ago, he was up a set AND a break in the 2nd set and the odds favored the OTHER PLAYER

.

I think that was the only bets betfair ever cancelled b/c it was so ridiculously rigged but prolly half the matches in tennis are rigged, go up a set and a break and then MAGICALLY forget how to play tennis and lose the next 10 games

wasnt there some scandal a couple years ago with the refs?

Prolly so, hell Ive seen refs tackle players in the SEC, have to be an idiot to not realize that many of the games we bet on are rigged, hell some ghetto ****** from the projects in Atlanta is playin for Georgia and has no chance of makin it to the NBA, you think he wouldnt point shave for a quick 5-10k?

rigged

**jjgold** · 02-12-09, 03:16 PM

Lots of good players lose on purpose for rest and just use it as a tuneup for bigger tourneys and plus some of the big names get appearance fees which give them little incentive to win.

**pico** · 02-12-09, 03:21 PM

jj is right. nadal doesn't seem to care right now against dimitriov

**pico** · 02-12-09, 03:28 PM

nadal got broken. lost the 2nd set. i love to see nadal lose this match

**bettilimbroke999** · 02-12-09, 06:40 PM

JJs got a very good point on why not to bet on tennis, half the matches are rigged and a good percentage of the other matches are between some star and some nobody in a tourney the star is just doing for warmup and appearance fees so he lobs half the shots and hopes to get knocked out so he can head home, if he wins the tourney he gets a 10 cent payday and a trophy for a tourney no one gives a shit about and is now worn down so he ends up getting knocked out of the Grand Slam tourney that is the only thing they really care about. Think about how many times Fed and Nadal get knocked out of normal tourneys, then look at the finals of Grand Slam tourneys, one or both are ALWAYS in the finals of those, does that not tell you they try a lil harder in those

If a star ever stubs his toe in a non Masters or Grand Slam event they just withdrawal its fukin unreal

**chikenkiwi2** · 02-12-09, 06:45 PM

true. They need to fine some of these fukks. Will never happen though. They don't care if us degenerate gamblers lose our money.
