If Federer drops ONE set today, I'll give away all of my 250+ points

[SBR Lou]

Plays today at 4PM for the championship.

If he drops one set, I will give away my points toward an SBR Picks contest.

[mathdotcom]

If he drops 3 I hope you leave the forum

[Enogsiwon]

will you give them to me?

[daggerkobe]

If he drops 2 sets, will you David Carradine yourself on Youtube?

[flyingillini]

I hope he wins

[konck]

Wow your that sure Im hammering then even though its a huge price

I wouldn't steer anybody wrong intentionally, Federer's beaten Del Potro in straight sets on 5/6 occasions, and double bageled him (63 60 60) in the Aussie Open semi final last year. He's going to win with an exclamation point stamped on the performance.

Pinnacle
Fed 3-0, +173
Fed 3-1, +233
Fed 3-2, +608

[yisman]

their last matchup was the French Open, though, and that's telling.

I think there's a good chance Federer drops a set.

[EaglesPhan36]

Del Potro wins 1st set (+190)
Del Potro wins 2nd set (+190)

If he's going to win a set, it has to be the first or second, If you bet both and he wins one, you walk away with a tidy profit. Not recommending anything, choice is yours - just throwing out some prices.

[Hybris]

I guess thats why you are called Crazy

My argentinean roots make me want Juan Martin to win , but its gonna be hard very hard

It'll be hard for him to win a set over the Swiss maestro, let alone the match. Don't bet with your heart man.

[jjgold]

Del Potro is much much better than last year

I am betting him moderately

[EaglesPhan36]

Hey Lou, how about this one - how about an AVATAR WAGER on this one? STEP UP if you're so sure.

If DelPo gets a set, this is yours until October 1st.


If Federer wins in straights, this is mine until October 1st.


I think it would make us both uneasy to sport one of these. Whaddya say bucko?

[daggerkobe]

I hope whoever loses that bet doesn't post until Oct 2nd.

Because I will have to turn off the avatar option.

[yisman]

don't punish the whole forum by making us see men without clothes.

[EaglesPhan36]

LoL. My bet is Lou will site some obscure rule about avatar betting or wanting a "gentleman's bet" because the only time we wagered on an avatar, I won and he had to sport a very homoerotic avatar for awhile.

[SBR Lou]

Unfortunately I will decline the avatar bet, I require nothing else other than acknowledgment of making the right call here once I'm proven to be correct, and some complimentary comments on my tennis handicapping prowess of course.

[yisman]

complimentary comments? Lou, look at your record!

[Immortality]

Are you playing this line then Lou?

R.Federer Wins 3-0 +172

[aznjeff07]

i hope he wins in straight sets to make me easier about my wager

[Shark79]

I hope DelPotro wins ... dont see it possible ... but he did outplay Nadal very well.

[EaglesPhan36]

Guess I'll just have to settle for taking some of your points in a contest then.

[Shark79]

Lou ... Ill put up 25 of my pts vs 40 of yours that Del Potro does take a set ... u on ?

[SBR Lou]

complimentary comments? Lou, look at your record!

Are you playing this line then Lou? R.Federer Wins 3-0 +172

Better to just take him for a few units on the ML, and then maybe one unit on the straight sets as well.

[THEGREAT30]

Plays today at 4PM for the championship.

If he drops one set, I will give away my points toward an SBR Picks contest.

You will be giving away the points. If he loses do I get to choose the format of contest?

[Shark79]

Lou ... Ill put up 25 of my pts vs 40 of yours that Del Potro does take a set ... u on ?

Guess thats a no.

[SBR Lou]

You will be giving away the points. If he loses do I get to choose the format of contest?

No, if he drops a set I will host an SBR Picks contest with a quick 254 point prize pool. Winner takes all maybe.

[EaglesPhan36]

Lou has said he is not allowed to bet SBR points, I guess because he is a MOD. Total # of games up to 39, Over getting some play. Guess public at least think it might be a good match.

[Shark79]

Sorry, didnt read in this thread he couldnt.

Looking for 4 sets on this match.

GL to all !!

[Immortality]

Lou ... Ill put up 25 of my pts vs 40 of yours that Del Potro does take a set ... u on ?

Sharky I will make a bet with you but not the way you offered it. Will be my first SBR points bet. But you have the points backwards in your offer to Lou. You are taking the -195 side but you wanted him to risk more points.

Here is the current line.

Mon 9/14 127 R.Federer Wins 3-0 +168
4:00PM 128 Not R.Federer In 3 Sets -195

[ji03]

I think Del Potro will take a set off of Roger.

[THEGREAT30]

No, if he drops a set I will host an SBR Picks contest with a quick 254 point prize pool. Winner takes all maybe.

I'm in. Quick meaning it needs to last 3 days or less.

[MartinBlank]

Federer or Tiger?

Federer has accomplished more, and it isn't really that close.

Federer has been in 17 of the last 18 Grand Slam finals.

He has set the record for career Grand Slams won.

And he has done it before his 28th birthday.

I think if you lay out, Tiger is clearly a distant second to what Federer has accomplished. We may not see another Federer in our lifetimes.

I think Fed can/will win another 4-6 majors. Putting him over 20.

Anyone think Tiger is more impressive?
