Tennis In-Game-Thread (Thurs. July 17th)

[SBR Lou]

Trying something a little different here..

I know of two posters whom have wagered on the match in 30 minutes (Bartoli vs Keothavong), and there's a few matches on later this evening. So will try to put any significant updates in this thread.

If you're sweating the upcoming tennis match, or an ongoing one right now, use this thread to vent, comment, or just have a good time!

Please don't tell me you bet Bartoli

[SBR Lou]

Please don't tell me you bet Bartoli

I didn't get a bet down on that one actually.. but I did pass along my comments to a few posters who inquired, that she was the better play..

I take it you're on Keothavong or just don't trust Bartoli?

Bartoli 75, 64 IMO..

[SBR Lou]

Patty Schnyder (SUI) is serving for match vs Alisa Kleybanova (RUS).

Schnyder now has 3 match points.

[SBR Lou]

WTA Bank of the West Classic R16

Patty Schnyder (SUI) defeats Alisa Kleybanova (RUS) 76, 64. Straight set victory for the aging Swede.

Bartoli vs Keothavong should be underway within 15 minutes..

[Stacocakes]

Bartoli will probably win but she isn't a good player to bet on. Unless the line is really low. I am guessing she is a heavy favorite in this match though.....haven't checked the line

Not too big, -343 but you could have got her at -300 earlier. I think it's a little bit of bargain given this surface and the advantages she should maintain over her opponent.

Would you consider live betting it?

[Stacocakes]

Possibly ya.Not doing much else right now so I will probably follow the match and maybe put some money down
Isn't blake playing tonight as well?

[Stacocakes]

Blake is in one hour
Did you see any of the karlovic match early?That was a big upset geez

I saw the box score but didn't follow that match, I wasn't even gonna consider betting him so I didn't have too much interest.

His head may be in Toronto for next weeks tournament which he's scheduled to play in. That's something I read two days ago.

[SBR Lou]

I have a pretty heavy play on Szavay tomorrow at -800.

I wouldn't touch Blake straight up, I'd even put a small play on the dog then live bet my way out of it if I could...

Bartoli to start any second..

[Stacocakes]

The tourney karlovic played today was in his home country so its surprising that he bows out to maximo gonzalez of all people.No idea how he lost that. Luckily I slept in and didn't bet on it.
I wouldnt bet blake at over -1000 either.He is a loser
Good thing that toronto tournament is next week.Means i'll be able to watch lots of tennis on tv for once

Here is bartoli I think

[SBR Lou]

Bartoli breaks Anne's 1st service game. 2-0 Bartoli.

[SBR Lou]

Keothavong holds, 3-1 Bartoli still up a break.

[SBR Lou]

Bartoli up 4-1 still up a break..

[Stacocakes]

bartoli already at -1000

[RIPmyson]

bartoli up 4-1. wohoo. lets hold the lead and win this set.

[SBR Lou]

bartoli already at -1000

It's still early but that -300 to -350 seemed to be a bargain indeed, Bartoli on this surface is too much for Keothavong to handle..

[SBR Lou]

Bartoli just let a breakpoint slip away.

4-2

[SBR Lou]

Keothvaong with 1 breakpoint on Bartolis serve....

30-40, 3-5

[RIPmyson]

Bartoli wins set 2 in Tiebreaker, don't worry either way..

She'll pull it out even if it goes 3.
