Gonzo serves out of it- on serve.

SBR Lou · 07-21-08, 02:25 PM

Benneatu triple break points.

Shark79 · 07-21-08, 02:34 PM

Seems like an interesting game

You bet anyone? Can always just watch the live scores on atptennis.com, that is going faster than the TV feed here. I think because the HD feed takes a few extra seconds to convert maybe, a bunch of matches ongoing.

I have Gulbis at 4:30PM.

Shark79 · 07-21-08, 04:13 PM

I had:

Wawrinka and Gonzales (both wins) small plays though

2 pending:

Seppi and Stepanek

Good stuff.

Shark79 · 07-21-08, 04:38 PM

Thanks bud!!

Didnt post Wawrinka and Gonzales cause I wasnt feeling pretty sure they would win ... but they did

SBR Lou · 07-21-08, 05:12 PM

Wonder where Stacco went, he's usually got some bets pending. Right now Ginepri and Paul-Henri Matheiu are in a third set, and Tipsaveric and Mahut are in a 2nd set with Mahut up a set.

It looks like it's getting dark there but I guess it's my imagination, as the other matches keep being delayed till 7, 8 etc while these finish up.

SBR Lou · 07-21-08, 05:15 PM

Ginepri just broke, looks like Matheiu is ripe for another collapse yet again.

woodg8 · 07-21-08, 05:26 PM

Tipsarevic ain't making this easy

No he most certainly isn't, in 2nd set TB.

You have him with Gulbis in a multi correct? If darkness doesn't become an issue that figures to start within a half hour.

Stacocakes · 07-21-08, 05:30 PM

Whats up?Guys ready for the night matches? Ancic vs Dancevic
Good win by gonzo today. I was doing game betting earlier and I actually bet the 4th game of the match or whatever it was when gonzo went down 0-40 on his serve. Almost had a heart attack.Luckily he saved the bps and won that service game for me.

SBR Lou · 07-21-08, 05:30 PM

Ginepri defeats Mathieu 63 46 64.

Stacocakes · 07-21-08, 05:31 PM

By the way I love ancic for the late match but haven't checked the odds yet.I am sure the odds for ancic are huge

I'm ready and nice cash..

I backed Gulbis at -500...

Stacocakes · 07-21-08, 05:31 PM

damn -300 ish for Ancic. Love that

Stacocakes · 07-21-08, 05:32 PM

You should win that crazy.I like Gulbis's game. Only thing you ever have to worry about that guy is if he will dedicate himself to become better.Hes super rich I hear so it would be easy for a kid like that to not give a **** about playing tennis
Acasuso is mainly a clay player so he will probably lose this match but -500 for Gulbis yikes

Shark79 · 07-21-08, 05:34 PM

Just realized Roddick and Fish are playing the doubles tourney ... any news if they've done this in the past.

BTW ... Mahut has a lot of books happy

Stacocakes · 07-21-08, 05:34 PM

Thinking of betting tipsarevic here if the odds are good.Should win this tiebreak and force a third set.He's pretty good.Mahut is a peice of shit

I'm sure they have, they're good friends.

Yeah I would imagine books would be pulling for him.

Depends the odds I'd say, let us know what you get..

Stacocakes · 07-21-08, 05:37 PM

Roddick has played doubles with Fish before. Only about 4 or 5 times though. Roddick has played doubles with alot of players. I don't think he has ever done much though in doubles. He is a player that can serve and thats about it.His net game is shit and groundstrokes are average so he is not a very good doubles player

Stacocakes · 07-21-08, 05:38 PM

Tips is -180 or so to win now. Odds aren't that great.May pass for now

Stacocakes · 07-21-08, 05:39 PM

fed and wawrinka playing doubles to

I wouldn't be surprised if he played as more a favor to his buddy and fellow American, think it's obvious Fish is not primed for many deep runs anymore and could use the cash. He could play dubs with someone else, but Roddick is a great player when he's got it together.

Shark79 · 07-21-08, 05:45 PM

When hes got it together hes great ... but as Staco mentioned ... great serve .. nothing else to show for

Stacocakes · 07-21-08, 05:47 PM

agree crazy

Tonight boys, bang Ancic like you would bareback a two cent whore. He's playing Dancevic, who is canadian so he will have the crowd behind him, but ancic is one of those players that you can depend on.He was in the top 10 3 years ago before he got mono which ****ed him up for a year or so and he is just getting back into the form that he had pre-mono. Hoping to get him at around -290 ish. The match is at 8 eastern.Will be watching it on tv here as well if you guys need some play by plays.

Stacocakes · 07-21-08, 05:55 PM

Glad I figured those odds were to high for Tips. Gets broken early in the third set.

SBR Lou · 07-21-08, 05:56 PM

Good move laying off that one, pretty pathetic performance going on here.

Why are they spacing out the matches so much now, I guess it must've just been a bunch of qualifiers earlier, Gulbis was delayed several times. What time does sun go down in Canada?

I like Frank but can't bring myself to back him here..

Stacocakes · 07-21-08, 06:00 PM

Geez guys.Betting players above -200 in tennis, that are not the big 3, is like walking through a mine field. You just hope that you don't step on any shit.So hard to cap this shit which is why I was mentioning before that in-play betting is the best for this sport.
Tips looks so good against players that are very good but when he plays an average player his level dips.plays down to competition.
Glad the gonzalez pick came through earlier because he has a tendancy to play down to competition to. Lets hope Ancic plays a great game tonight

Stacocakes · 07-21-08, 06:01 PM

Still have lots of time to play crazy.Its 7pm there right now and the last match of the night ancic will be on at 8 PM there.Should be able to play until 10 or so
Don't quote me on this but I "think" they have lights on the main courts.
