Joker +103 or the Field -120 to Win Australian Open Tennis Tourny?

[Big Bear]

Thanks tennis fans/bettors

[biggie12]

Joker

[Big Bear]

Joker

He must be really good. I dont watch much tennis but if i remember correctly Nadal is pretty tough on clay courts right? maybe he has a nagging injury or something...

last i checked 5Dimes was only offering these 2 choices

[jjgold]

of course he can lose..horrific bet

FIELD IS THE PLAY

[Big Bear]

of course he can lose..horrific bet

FIELD IS THE PLAY

i didnt ask if he could lose.

i said which is the better bet... Joker or the field?

And it like aint like Joker is -500

but you answered my question... i was leaning Field but i was just like damn this kid must be good to get these kind of odds... it makes me wonder whats wrong with Nadal and Federer and all the other good tennis players???

[jjgold]

Joker is good but he does not win a ton of majors based on all his entries

Bear..FIELD

CALL ME

[Big Bear]

haha thanks JJ

[juanquintero]

Field. I am going to put some $ on nishi to win

[jtoler]

You'll never see a -500 on a player before a major in any sport but yeah smart to just take field no matter what at -120 or is it. Nole loves this tourney and just may win it.

[biggie12]

most books offering joker at -110 to win.


Smart bet is joker +103.


But like these goofs say, -120 the field is a good bet. Bear you know what to do. Good luck

pinny offering joker to win at +105 no -115. choose wisely.

Australian open is on hard courts

[Snowball]

you have to choose because while Field gives you more opportunities
to win (anyone beats Joker)
the Joker bet gives you better opportunities to hedge because it is even odds
with no juice and every player will be the dog vs Joker.

Australian open is on hard courts

is it really?

shows what i know about tennis... thanks for pointing that out.

Djokovic won the Australian open in 2011-2012 and 2013.

Nadal is indeed very good but (big but) he was injured and looked like crap in his 1st tournament this year.
I am a big Nadal fan and i seriously doubt he would beat Djokovic if they face each other.

Federer? In a best of 5 sets match I am almost sure Djokovic beats him.

Djokovic beat Federer in 2008 and 2011 at the Australian open, each time 3 sets to 0.

Federer is 33 years old I don't see why he would beat Djokovic in 2015 when he failed 4 and 7 years ago.

Then you got some dangerous players like Wawrinka and Nishikori...

Wawrinka did beat Djokovic last year at the Australian open and also nearly beat him in 2013. However Wawrinka doesn't like the pressure and loves being the underdog, but this year he's coming back as the defending champion, and i think he will hate that extra pressure. I can't imagine Wawrinka beating Djokovic a second time here.

Nishikori, I love this player, I think he could beat Djokovic (but hey it would be a big surprise, even if he beat him at the US open.)


My pick is Djokovic to win a 5th title in Melbourne.

[beefcake]

Dr Ivo is my pick..Was 750..now down to 350

Dr Ivo is my pick..Was 750..now down to 350

Ivo in 5 setters is an auto fade against almost anyone. Although in 3 setter he is worth backing against anyone.

[DrunkHorseplayer]

Give me the field.

[jjgold]

Anything can go wrong in 100° heat every day

Bet the field tremendous value

[biggie12]

JJ u are square as fukk

[JohnnyRudeboy]

Got Joker +125 a few weeks ago

[ACoochy]

Field is almost too easy a play here.

Good luck

[RubberKettle]

Draw comes out tonight?

[sneakerhead]

Bear how about you do some research before posting a thread for once

[SirtySree]

Draw just out. Novak has an easy draw while Federer as a tough one in my opinion. Also like the draw for Berdych while Nish gets Almagro 1st round.

[jjgold]

Draws are overrated because you just do not know who is going to get hot during a tournament

[MiddleMan]

Federer's odds have come in a fair bit overnight on Betfair. $7.80 to $7.20. Novak out from $2.02 to $2.08.

Sounds reasonable and probably influenced by Fed saying, "I don't know if this is the best form of my career," in his press conference.

[ACoochy]

Very favourable draw for joker here.

Meanwhile fed's side of the draw looks plain nasty...

Guy will have to back up the form talk if he's to have a realistic chance deep into the 2nd week...

[jjgold]

Is the weather going to be 100° every day??

I think part Last year they had a cool spell

He has a lot to do with tennis players performance... Of course not all but many

Joker

good call Biggie

[jjgold]

Stan the man is playing tremendous be careful

[jtoler]

[Big Bear]

of course he can lose..horrific bet

FIELD IS THE PLAY

horrific bet?

this shift JJ must work for a sportsbook trying to discourage bettors off the winners.

Tennis is a very watered down sport... not many elite tennis players in the world.

[jjgold]

I just missed Bear

Good call..how much did you have on it??
