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.
    Bad view?...of course not. I love this game, and it is a game that i like to bet These kind of strange results always happen and will continue to happen. Long time ago i learned (painfully of course) not to go big in any game. In this particular one (where a strange virus decided to change some things after Djoker won the first set 6-0 ) i had no bet. Didnt seem like worth betting on even by adding in a parlay. On the other hand i also dont bet on dogs with big surprise expectations like it was in this match.(BTW i dont believe this kind of betting on 'lucky' dogs, will make any profit in the long run anyway) So these kind of results never did any favor to me. I go for the dogs whom i think having an edge not with the help of any stomach virus but with their good form or the opponents bad form. After all, it is not that much difficult to make profit in the long run from tennis betting knowing the players' forms, their way of playing and their motivation for match. So i see no reason for having bad views.

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.
      Actually what made suspicious was the involvement of Djokovic in the event
      He is one of the best player of all times. Especially last year he was the terminator(especially in the two ATP 1000 finals he won against Nadal in US). But then i noticed all of a sudden he start to get involved in acting ( i am not talking about Nadal - Sharapova imitations ) . All those epic games against Nadal and Murray...etc... Some of them were much risky like the one he had against Tsonga on clay...And i think he noticed crowd love tennis players who are good in acting and crowd love epic games. And this year i see crowds who love Djokovic more than the last year. His game is definitely worse(than last year), but his fans are increasing faster than the times he was gaining fans by his terminator play.

            to win the first set 6-0 then lose, being who he is. Obviously fixed it for his runners to place a Querrey 2-1 sets betting win, huge value.

                Eh, I don't think I have any great insight - just really thorough at digging through and researching for injury info, angles on stuff. Some times as Shari said it works out great like this, a lot of other times it doesn't pan out for shit. End of the year though this sort of info seems to be more useful than most of the season when motivation isn't always a question.
