    I bet $50 on a +1100 guy.

    First set he loses 6-3, then wins the 2nd set 6-2, now in the 3rd hes down 1-0 and 40-0 on this point

    He was dominating the 2nd set, how does it change so much/fast?

    Dunno, maybe momentum?

      It gets tiring to hit a ball that big

        I thought momentum, but he just took the 2nd set 6-2!

              Concentration levels, simple as that. Very easy to let up after winning a set by a wide margin or losing energy after winning a tough set.

                I'm guessing your bet against Djokovic?

                  I'm cheering for you but beating Djokovic these days is a big ask of anyone. Hopefully he gets it done for you!!

                      I honestly dont know anything about tennis, I just saw the moneyline was huge so I decided to throw some $ on it since there wasnt much else going on

                        I don't think theres anything more frustrating than when they have the chance to take the lead on their serve at 40-40 and blow it

                          Well I have Djokovic in a 6 team parlay so I'm rooting against you.

                              If you have balls bet against Federer the odds must be ridiculous.

                                    If Lopez can steal a point here it would be very interesting at 5-5, lol

                                      What on Earth would possess you to stick someone who was paying maybe $1.05 in a parlay? There is seriously no point in doing that money wise, especially in these smaller tournaments. He doesn't bring up your odds enough to make the risk worth it. This match is a perfect example - a close three setter for that much chalk? Not worth the stress.

                                          The point is that won now I just have to wait for Federer to get it done. He'll spank this kid in straight sets and it will cash my 6 team parlay.

                                                  That extra two bucks he gets on this parlay means everything ... at the dollar menu of the drive-thru!

                                                    Actually adding Djokovic and Federer to my 6 team parlay added an extra $24.50.

                                                    Thats enough to treat my self to a gourmet dinner tonight. D3 IS HAVING STEAK TONIGHT BOYS!

                                                          Can't believe no one's mentioned the fact that some guys have a tendency to give up in a set they don't need after getting down a break.

                                                              Don't blame it on me!!

                                                              People are starting tennis related threads in PT and I'm mirroring them in the tennis forum. It's great to see more people take an interest in tennis. Money to be made betting this sport.
