All in on Nadal -10000

BIGDAY · 06-22-11, 09:56 AM

Is that even Poundable?

pavyracer · 06-22-11, 09:57 AM

How much does your book allow you to bet on -10000 for tennis?

Boscoe · 06-22-11, 09:59 AM

what if he accidentally hits himself in the nuts with one of those through the legs shots and has to retire?

you would probably have to do it across multiple books to play that much, but yes. That is really really dumb

Nothing over -1000 is worth the risk IMO. Too many stupid things can happen. You can lose your money without him being outplayed, so it's not worth it.

reformed · 06-22-11, 10:15 AM

you better be doing it in a book that cancels bets for a retirement. If you have the money in your account, I think book have a maximum "to win" so you wont have trouble getting down 50k to win 500 or something like that.

Better than all in Federer

Lincoln73 · 06-22-11, 10:16 AM

hope it hits but we aren't playing on clay, no lock here.

Pippertime · 06-22-11, 10:21 AM

good luck, but risky

gators0708 · 06-22-11, 10:24 AM

Sweeting will win

MUHerd37 · 06-22-11, 10:24 AM

Just hope he doesn't get injured and have to retire.

This is the closest to a lock that you can get, but it is not worth it at all.

Good luck cashing your $25 play.

nosniboR11 · 06-22-11, 10:33 AM

no such thing as free money

Justin7 · 06-22-11, 10:37 AM

I would double-check the rules, and make sure your bet is no action if Nadal retires.

DennisGreen · 06-22-11, 10:40 AM

So $100 to win $1 or $1000 to win $10. Definitely worth the risk eh?

face · 06-22-11, 10:42 AM

i did this last year and he lost to ferrer because he got injured, i had to re-deposit.

dovlon · 06-22-11, 10:50 AM

never worth the risk, even if its minimal

PickApprentice · 06-22-11, 11:44 AM

Looks good so far, good luck!

jjgold · 06-22-11, 11:46 AM

unreal

Otter sending it in big

A win is a win

todd73nj · 06-22-11, 11:53 AM

In this whole thread.. I didnt even see who he is up against

Has to be a no one at -10000

Id never make this bet personally.

And the original posted didnt mention what the all in was - SBR points?

Otters27 · 06-22-11, 12:06 PM

No action if either player retires.

Philavanh · 06-22-11, 12:10 PM

Looking really good there on your play

reformed · 06-22-11, 12:15 PM

so how much did you bet on this match total?

yisman · 06-22-11, 12:18 PM

Classic otter play, as jj would say.

saintjames · 06-22-11, 12:23 PM

i hope otter has better luck with stocks than with wagers

itchypickle · 06-22-11, 12:24 PM

Is he really down 2 sets and trailing in the 3rd??

yisman · 06-22-11, 12:27 PM

^ Nadal is about to finish off Sweeting. He did get broken in the third, though.

Damn...was gonna say......SBR Live odds has Nadal DOWN

yisman · 06-22-11, 12:37 PM

SBR odds sometimes flips the teams/players. It's a bug, I guess.

Ok...I use it for bases and football but rarely track tennis so didn't know that. Was shocked when I saw those numbers.

jjgold · 06-22-11, 12:57 PM

Good Call Otter

even if he is nadal, they all hit the ball through a racket and everything can happen in court.

Jordan23 · 06-22-11, 02:34 PM

Some people are crazy. I'd never take a bet like this. Too many things can go wrong. Way too much risk. But hey if you win more power to you.
