Nadal dropped to -276 after weak performance vs. Djoko

MilfDriller · 05-16-09, 11:22 PM

It might dip lower after Fed beats Nadal on Sunday.

All these tournaments back to back to back... and Nadal has looked sluggish. I'm expecting the kind of performance where he got beat by JCF and Fed 6-0 in the 3rd a few years back.

I think Fed takes this one.

I hope to hell he (Fed) doesn't gone done did suck a dick on Sunday vs. Rafa.

Sure hope people backed the "no prop" on Nadal winning French Open, and the Federer at the prices I posted in the tennis subforum.

This is starting to remind me of when everyone thought Big Brown was a sure thing, just easy if you know the guy isn't going to win.

I'll be tuned in and not that I like either more than the other personally, but I want to see Roger win for competition sake.

Good luck guys

such arrogance from the official worst tennis capper on sbr, mr. crazy lou

Federer has a great chance of winning tomorrow. Has anyone actually paid attention to the surface on this tourney though? It's as much hardcourt as clay pretty much. Nadal played for 4 hours over 3 sets today while Federer had an easy match that last about an hour and 15 minutes against Del Potro. Regardless of if Federer wins Sunday he won't win the French Open.

MilfDriller · 05-17-09, 01:46 AM

Crazy things can always happen.

Fed is the greatest of all time. If he plays really well and beat Rafa convincingly tomorrow.... his momentum may carry over into RG. One never knows. And the guy has been in the last 4 slam finals as well as something like 24 straight slam semis....

If he somehow gets it to click again and becomes God once again, Fed can do anything. He has the potential to be God.

It may be a long shot for RG, but it's very likely he'll be there... and if he becomes God again.... he could do it.

Anyways, I sure as fvck hope he does. Big Roger fan.

valdosta · 05-17-09, 01:55 AM

I don't think he was the GOAT but you are entitled to your opinion. Regardless, those days are over. Hell even when he was playing his best he never took more than a set from Nadal at the FO. Hell if Djokovic is on his side he won't even make the finals. His draw in this tourney was insanely easy. Regardless, I still think he is good value tomorrow.

MilfDriller · 05-17-09, 02:14 AM

Who do you like as GOAT over Fed?

Nadal may be the best clay guy ever... hence the FO domination of Fed... but GOAT most likely goes to Fed.

There's some old timers like Laver,Borg and a couple others that have a case. Not to mention Federer hasn't passed Sampras's current GS record. He may do it but I'll wait until he actually does. Not to mention Federer played in a pretty weak era IMO. That stuff is all opinion though. If Nadal's body don't break down (I think it will), he could have a case someday if he keeps winning like he has but I doubt it. Don't carre about all of that, if Federer can't beat Nadal tomorrow he should pack it in he won't beat him again.

MilfDriller · 05-17-09, 02:34 AM

You're right. Doesn't really matter. Anyways, can't wait for these 2 fvckers to battle tomorrow.

10:00AM (EST) 9802 Nadal/Federer Ends In 3 Sets +151

that may be safe

jjgold · 05-17-09, 08:40 AM

nadal wins easy today

I think 2-0

j0hnnyv · 05-17-09, 08:42 AM

I can get +103 on that coach

j0hnnyv · 05-17-09, 08:54 AM

i took nadal 2-0 +103 and put a little on nadal 2-1 +280 just incase

should be guaranteed profit.

Federer won in straight sets.

Crazy

Promise you will re-post in these threads when Federer chokes early in RG.

Nadal I admit does look kind of tired/sickly. I like my bet. I'd rather lay -300 on Nadal winning this than laying it on the Cubs...

SBR Lou · 05-17-09, 11:09 AM

I will so long as you bump the one I linked with praise.

mathdotcom · 05-17-09, 11:11 AM

Here, let me predict what you say before you say it

"Okay, yes, that didn't work out. Nadal won handily and Federer was eliminated in the 3rd round, but it was clearly a good bet."

SBR Lou · 05-17-09, 11:17 AM

Win or lose, and I'm confident I'm winning both bets, the numbers were the best available and will surely nosedive after Fed backhanded Nadal in the mouth this morning.

The General · 05-17-09, 12:02 PM

Nice for federer today

valdosta · 05-17-09, 01:14 PM

Like I said Federer had a great chance of winning today. If it affects the FO odds to much I will bet Nadal to win it. The surface today was nothing like Roland Garros.

Lou, Nadal in the first round....even at that price...you like the play?

MartinBlank · 05-17-09, 02:20 PM

I see value in Fed now.

I hate wagering against Nadal...especially on clay, but Federer usually guarantees one thing. He will get to the Semi's. As Milf said, isn't it something like 20+ GS Semis in a row?

He gets that far and then anything can happen.
