If You're Thinking Djokovic, Be Warned ...

good info EP

EaglesPhan36 · 10-30-12, 11:29 PM

Certainly possible he's a true Warrior, fights through it and gets stronger during the week - but I've been preaching about angles and motivation this week to find some good spot plays this week and Djokovic's motivation here doesn't look like it will be particularly high especially with London waiting next week. Not to mention his draw isn't exactly easy. Hottest guy on tour in Delpo stuck in his quarter - if Delpo isn't gassed himself.

Wow. My local has Querrey at +800. I'm in. Maybe a good scalp

EaglesPhan36 · 10-31-12, 05:21 AM

This might be one of those opportunities where maybe you think about Querrey 1st set over Querrey for the match too. Again no telling how this virus is really effecting him until you see him on court. Could be an over dramatic sell from Djokovic for all we know in case he flops early this week.

BB_Mariners · 10-31-12, 08:42 AM

His dad is in hospital since Tuesday, doctors are not sure what is going on, but some Serbian tabloids are reporting that his life is threatened. But don't forget that Djokovic played the match on the day that his grandfather passed away. I am not sure what will be the best play but probably to stay away from this match, or maybe over...

EaglesPhan36 · 10-31-12, 08:47 AM

Story I saw said he is past the worst part of a respiratory illness and will be in the hospital maybe another week. Doubtful it impacts him this week. I took a shot @ Querrey to win the 1st set +450.

EaglesPhan36 · 10-31-12, 09:00 AM

Querrey must have vag warts. Over after one game lol.

Hangoverblack · 10-31-12, 09:06 AM

Did he last the whole game? It was tough for him to serve holding a white flag at 0-15.

Winners win. Haters hate. Querreys and Dimitrovs and Sijslings take it in the ass from men.

Happy Halloween!

DAHOTCORNER29 · 10-31-12, 09:17 AM

might lay a big goose egg

I threw a small play on Querrery. It was worth a shot

Cappinpicks · 10-31-12, 09:23 AM

BIG · 10-31-12, 09:23 AM

wtt0315 · 10-31-12, 09:28 AM

EaglesPhan36 · 10-31-12, 09:29 AM

Sick as a fox. Think he was really leaking this to go all in on himself.

DAHOTCORNER29 · 10-31-12, 09:36 AM

Querrery making it intertresting going up a break.

Don't even try and get our hopes up Sam

EaglesPhan36 · 10-31-12, 09:43 AM

gators0708 · 10-31-12, 10:58 AM

Sam Q yessss +600!! $$$$

EaglesPhan36 · 10-31-12, 10:58 AM

Querrey wins. Be it the bug or not, anyone who found this info useful and won some money - I'll gladly take some SBR points, any amount you see fit .. I am dangerously close to the gift card I want at the SBR store and would be much obliged if you benefited from this, that I could benefit from your generosity. Yes, I am point whoring ... and I think this was worth it suckaz because I don't think anyone would have been playing Querrey otherwise [including me fo' sho]. If you don't see fit, carry on.

Cappinpicks · 10-31-12, 11:03 AM

Figures riftraft gives you a whopping 2 pts, Good call on sam the man

Hangoverblack · 10-31-12, 11:19 AM

Ill send you two points a day for the rest of mytime on SBR. Non pro, sorry. I think you are the most valuable poster by far, in any forum. If I can give you all 1500 today, PM me how

Optional · 10-31-12, 11:21 AM

Nice call!

EaglesPhan36 · 10-31-12, 11:22 AM

Thanks guys. Appreciate the points and enjoy that cash!

makman · 10-31-12, 12:23 PM

I dont know how much you guys won by putting small amounts on Querrey hoping a chance of interesting result because of some news?

But i am sure Djoker and those who had the inside information knowing that 100% fixed match won much much more. All these information about a stomach virus, or how it is leaked to news, is part of the show how very naturally Djoker lost. Not to have any suspicion. Come on!!!!
Why he did play??? It could be a walkover for Querrey, but that wouldnt be fun, and wouldnt create this wonderful chance to make some big money at the end of the season... What a virus can change a tennis match which was 6-0 for Djokovic in the first set ????
We all know that in any given day, on any court Djokovic (who has wonderful talent of returning) can beat Querrey (who has nothing else other than his serves) in straight sets. He can do it with a virus in his stomach, he can do it even without having his fukin stomach !!!

Djoking · 10-31-12, 12:28 PM

Yes you are right

Djoko wouldn't have won any money. He could've bet at every book in the world and he still would've lost more by being put under investigation by the ATP of cheating/tanking. Too obvious here. When Fed's name was being linked with betting scandals sponsors were talking of pulling out and Djokovic is no Federer yet obviously. And as BB mentioned above, he played when his grandfather was in the hospital. This time he was dealing with his dad and his own illness and from the first set score line I think he was actually trying...emotion and sickness just got him. There are a few times a year that info leaks out and it works in favour of the bettor. On the other hand EP and I can remember many times I'm sure where we've also got or found info and the bloody player came out like Superman + Federer + Nadal rolled into one so we lost our bets. That's why people were hesitant. This happens a bit more with the women but it's still not all that common. Just one of those great things for those who bet this and finally hit one.

I am also sure he didnt bet even a penny in any book. But is that the only way of making money when you know you will lose to your opponent in an ATP 1000 event? Such info leaks do happen and of course not all come out right. Very easy to guess for all if all turned out right. I also remember some leaks in Italian soccer in the last years, where the odds for draw were dropping to -250 2-3 days before the event had started. Some were ending in draw, some were not.

makman · 10-31-12, 02:19 PM

All these suspicions are making me sick. I would sleep better and be mentally healthy if i could believe that Djokovic really put all his effort professionally in spite of his illness, but he couldnt win against a tree trunk

I can't say that he put in his 100% effort as I didn't watch the match. But I'm very confident that he wasn't dirty as it makes no financial sense. He might not have wanted to let fans down who bought tickets, he might've thought he could play, he might've thought well I'm already here so I may as well try. These guys have nothing to gain at that point. The lower ranked players? Yes for sure. But not the people who are already making that much money and have every single point of every match watched so closely. He said before he was sick. We all knew about his dad. This isn't a total surprise. I hope you don't have a bad view of tennis after this makman as I know you've been following and betting it for a long while.

EaglesPhan36 · 10-31-12, 02:31 PM

Considering the thing with his father and his own possible illness, I don't know why you guys are so skeptical here. End of the season and less than 100%, anything can happen. I've preached this for the past several tournaments. It pays to know the angles going on for these players at this time. Rankings position. Tour Finals spot. What is their motivation? Clearly for Djokovic, there may have been more at stake if Federer played and he was not guaranteed to move back to #1. Maybe that would have driven him harder, maybe not. But certainly with a possible ailment and nothing to gain from this week, there was very little worthwhile risk when next week's Tour Finals are the golden carrot dangling in front of these top guys right now.

With the way his body broke down at the end of last year's dream season, I am sure that was also playing on his mind for next week because he clearly was not anywhere close to 100% for London last year and I am certain that he wants to put forth his best foot there after last year's disappointment.

Exactly. Literally no reason for anyone to be concerned about foul play. Guy wasn't in a good space mentally or physically which is fair enough when they play as often as they do. Not like they have a team of linebackers to back them up. Finals are there... do what you can where you are and gtfo to move on. I'm all for one to be suspicious but seriously it doesn't make financial sense. It was an excellent pick off call on your part - that was lovingly jacked elsewhere - and it's all it was. We've done this how many times before? Try to incorporate angles and often they don't work. That's why I'm so stoked when they do even though I didn't bet this one at all.

EaglesPhan36 · 10-31-12, 03:18 PM

I think the thing that automatically makes people suspicious is the bagel in the 1st set and then for Querrey to come back, but it happens. If it was WTA - no one would even bat an eye lash with as many times as the roller coaster gets ridden in matches over there. No one expects it from the Big Dogs though, I get that - but it has happened to them all and sometimes without any sort of physical problems to go along with it.
