A chalky tennis play for Tuesday morning

[SBR Lou]

Bare with me- this is a big price to lay, but in tennis I think for every value packed dog, whether big or little, there are other instances or plays which a bigger price is warranted. Never risk what you can't afford to lose.

Fernando Gonzalez -610
vs Richard Bloomfield

Tennis Record (The Artois Championship R1)
0-0 (0.00)

*results for French Open were fairly decent, but I am starting from scratch as to not get complacent, will likely track results tournament to tournament to keep myself fresh. I will keep a log of all results and update the most recent in my sig*

Thats a lot more than I'd lay Crazyl, but good luck

[gordon gekko]

GL crazy.

[fearless]

BOL! Why not include this play in our competition?

[gordon gekko]

Hey crazy just curious where in Brooklyn do you live? I was born there and most of my family is in NY.

[SlickFazzer]

I wish you well.

[SBR Lou]

Thanks fellas, I won't edit my original post, but this play is to win 1.5 units. Somehow in typing I forgot that part.

Fearless, because with our 1 unit risk cap it wouldn't do me much good IMO, I will update my selections tomorrow with likely some bases.

I first read that as "1 unit risk crap". I'm rooting for you!

You know where Dahill Rd is?
I used to live there....near Ocean Pkwy.

Thanks bud, IMO I feel this will be a straight set victory, Gonzo gave Federer a run for his $$ and his opponent is simply overmatched here. Bloomfield is not in the same league experience wise, rankings, talent, simply no edge here for him. If Gonzo is to falter, I feel it will be a fairly big choke job.

Not far away at all. Are you out of Brooklyn now?

First off, will Gonzo win this match?I would say about a 90% chance.He is the better player of course. Problem is that there is alot of chalk on this bet and the tournament is not a big tournament so a player will not give it 110% all of the time. To risky for me.
Plus, isn't this tournament a grass court tournament??If it is, Gonzo is not a grass court player.I follow tennis though alot and I haven't even heard of the guy he is playing though so you SHOULD be safe with this bet but there are probably better bets to make out there then this.
Just playing the devil's advocate here...

Devils advocate is more than welcome, I like to hear the other side too. You're right it is a grass court tournament, and yeah the motivation doesn't figure to be the same as if you're playing Roger Federer at RG. Those things already factor into this line though IMO.

I still don't think this will be all that close. There's really no advantage Bloomfield has, he doesn't have the talent, experience, really no accomplishments at all to even be mentioned in the same sentence. Crazier things have happened but I'm not banking on that here.

Gonzo 2-0.

[AgainstAllOdds]

Crazy...I would tail you but Im saving my money for the couple -900 soccer bets Im gonna play tomrrow.

[fingas]

bloomfield has home support since he's english -

But he is weak indeed.
As for all of you that never heard about him, make a search about bloomfield suspicious tennis match betfair and you'll get that he had a fixed match at wimbledon some years ago

Gonzo sure is a muppet.I don't trust him at any price
Looks like you will win this bet but he sure isn't handling this match like he is a -600 favorite

[Francis Sollozzo]

Gonzalez just broke serve 5-3 , Bloomfield is dead

[Francis Sollozzo]

Congrats , Crazyl

[SBR Lou]

Gonzo 2-0.

The first set was closer than anticipated, but Gonzo does win 2-0. His opponent had 9 double faults compared to 2, much worse on his 1st serve points won too. Think Gonzo could've made this a little easier on himself, but that is the nature of this kind of tournament.

Tennis Record (The Artois Championship R1)
1-0 (1.50)

[SBR Lou]

Congrats , Crazyl

Thanks bud.

[BROOKLYN BOY]

yeah congrats....i had 2 units on this so it was tense in the first set.

[Francis Sollozzo]

yeah congrats....i had 2 units on this so it was tense in the first set.

you two are gunslingers

[SBR Lou]

yeah congrats....i had 2 units on this so it was tense in the first set.

Glad you made $ bud.

Yeah the 1st set was closer, but all in all a 7-6, 6-3 victory is one I'll take, usually I'll let a few minutes pass before I start checking the score or else it's too nervy.

I think the nature of the first set kind of sent a shockwave into Gonzo, he knew he was the better player, and pulled away more decisively.
