[HOT WINGS]

What a boring ass finals

[secret007]

Feel sad for Lisicki, at least I won money

[Demonata]

Its over already? Lisicki only put up a small fight down 2 breaks.

[Mase of Base]

I want to feel bad for Lisicki but I don't, who breaks down in tears midway through a final that you're not close to losing yet. Good stuff Marion held your nerve and didn't buckle when called upon unlike your opponent, the moneys the only thing I care about though to be honest as that match was dreadful.

Bartoli winning is so wrong.

Amazing stat:

She had 2 aces and 6 double faults (more doubles than Listicky!) and won.

Ummmm she won easily, it shouldn't of been as close as it was. A couple of service stats don't change a thing.

I put a bit of the Bartoli cash on Ash Barty/Casey Dellacqua to win the WD. Feels weird for tennis to be over at 12:45am considering last night so I may as well keep going now

haha we're awful!

Ummm, you missed my point. I was saying it was remarkable that she out-double faulted Lisicki, considering Lisicki had an on court meltdown.

Had very few pre-match bets. Three props and Lisicki 2-1 sets. Just amazing Bartoli wins by 7 games and out double faults her opponent.

Bartoli obviously outplayed Lisicki because the mental midget had a meltdown. Clear sign of the apocalypse that Bartoli is a major winner.

I predict she never wins another.

[Demonata]

Yea just figure too heavily favored for a final especially with how bryans played last match. Figure why not.

Oh sorry I got impression you thought she was an undeserved winner, apologies.

To be honest she got better after the break down (apart from the last game), that's when I finally had to sweat the bet out!

I also don't think Bartoli will win anything major again but I do think Sabine will be in more than a few major finals and will win at least one. She's a quality player that got overwhelmed which is not how I thought she would lose but I'll take it.

[allin1]

yisman what are you on about the apocalypse?

it's just bartoli not godzilla, a comet or planet X

[face]

that's how i felt when djoker let murray win one. pissed me off for weeks. have mellowed now and realize murray is pretty good. i think bartoli is pretty good now too and this is her second time in a final.

[yisman]

I disagree with the comparison. I always said Murray would win one because he was too talented not to.

Bartoli to me doesn't come close to Murray's quality. She did have a very easy draw. She didn't face a single player ranked higher than her (highest was Lisicki, ranked 24th). That's amazing.

Still impressive not to lose a set.

[face]

ok good point, don't disagree. bartoli got a little lucky. disagree about the apocalypse though

[Gus Fring]

Under cashed for me. I figured it would be over in 2 sets, but thought it would be by Lisicki lol

[shari91]

WTF??? You asked if Bartoli could take a set and I told you I was hoping she could take two and not only didn't you take her but you thought Lisicki would win? Poor form Fringer.

Im kind of a man whore, and my crush on Lisicki swayed me away from betting against her lol. Nice hit on Bartoli. Did posters really have +7000 on her? That would be the fukkkken nuts!!!

[Gus Fring]

Did anyone take the prop of Lasicki crying during the match? Shit was a lock

[shari91]

Total man whore! So typical!

Yeah EP posted it awhile back in his thread when Sharapova got knocked out. $5 to win $350. I'm pretty sure quite a few others tailed because they were talking about it in there and have popped up in other threads during Bartoli matches. I'm assuming EP is either working or dead with shock at this point since I haven't seen him yet

[Hardcoar]

Lisicki crying in the bathroom?

You bet!

guess not a lot of SBR watching. We usually get some "this is over" comments from people who don't follow tennis

I would have called it myself but I wasn't in at the time, unfortunately. : (

Fartoli has some legs on her.

For a fat French fukk she truly does. I guess there must be some muscle under all that lard...

I'm hoping no one in here is on Lisicki. I figure those people would be in MDF's thread? Don't want to be rude cheering if so. Can't believe no one else is on Bartoli with me though!

This thread is very tolerant. Everyone is welcome!

Lisicki is so mentally fragile. Look at her, she doesn't believe in herself anymore

Which is incredible in its own right versus Bartoli in the finals, having beaten 2013 Serena and A-Rad to get there!

Second best server on tour wins 1 service game of 6. Phuck me

Welcome to the world of WTA.

WTA – WTF

maybe she's gay

Maybe she has crooked teeth!

This week's sign of the apocalypse

Marion Bartoli winning a grand slam

This is pathetic why did I bet and watch this crap, whoever chokes the most loses and they're both trying hard to do it.

Were you a WTA virgin being raped at the time of writing?

[Hardcoar]

Okay, sorry Rafa Nadal at Roland Garros would never not be favored my mistake nor would most human females against Serena on any surface. I should say top seed against a lower seed on a surface that does not necessarily prefer one over the other.

Point being here that there is no way Murray would be favored over Djokovic ... not on any surface right now IMO.

You're obviously more or less right, but I think there is some value in Murray @ 2.5 (+150 crazy American odds). He has better confidence than ever, as high a motivation as he could possibly have, beat Djokobo comfortably the only time they played on this surface (olympics last year), and holds no risk of being fatigued. He's also been in incredible form in his last few matches.

+7000 bartoli here

'Grat's!

[face]

How the fukk would he be the slight favorite? LoL. Top seed is never going to be an underdog if he is in the final and he shouldn't be here either. Appropriate line considering the pedigrees of both.

was thinking because of murray's form and the home crowd and the fact that djoker played the longest semi-final ever. give me a break man, i'm not a professional tennis bettor, just a hack who loves the action.

I don't think there was anything wrong with your assumption. EP was just being cranky.

Murray will always be the underdog in these situations because his brain fades and emotional issues before still linger. Djoko is indisputably the best player in the world so until he starts losing a few of these finals, he's going to be favoured other than against Rafa on clay. My two cents: Just like how I thought people were wayyyyyyy overvaluing the quality of competition Lisicki faced coming into the final, I think we shouldn't give too much credence to the length of Djoko's last match. He's extremely fit and while the DelPo match might eventually weigh on his legs, he wins more with shot selection and his brain, often no legs required. If you like Murray to win (as I do) ignore that factor because I've tried to bank on it before and have been burned.

[yisman]

I wouldn't say ignore it because his legs aren't as important, I'd say ignore it because Djokovic many times has come off a long match and had no problem winning anyway. He's in incredible shape.

[shari91]

I didn't say his legs aren't important. My point was he doesn't need them even if they were. I said after the Murray match that I worried people would assume DJoko was tired and drive Murray's price down and for whatever reason it's fallen from the +150 I got it at to +138 now. I think people are jumping to the wrong conclusion re Djoko just like they did re Bartoli. If Murray's going to win it'll have nothing to do with the length of that last match as I said at the time it won't affect him. Need to focus on other positives for him and weigh up if those are enough for him to win. (Obviously I think they are! )

[Hardcoar]

I'd rather say we don't know whether the marathon against Po'Mo will affect him physically. I'm sure it won't affect him decisively, but at this extreme level of the game slight margins can have colossal consequences.

[Hardcoar]

Highest muscle/weight ratio on the planet?

[yisman]

I didn't say his legs aren't important.

I didn't say you said that. I said "aren't as important..."

But in any case we have a history with grand slams and Djokovic has come back from extended 5 setters before and displayed great recovery ability.

[shari91]

Definitely and that's my whole point. If someone's betting against Djoko because they think he won't be able to move/will be tired/etc they're mistaken. Like I said to face earlier, that factor needs to be removed and weigh up the other factors. I was worried that price on Murray was going to fall and I even said it in here that I saw it happening but I'm still pissed it did because I have more money to pile on but now I don't like that price. Should've just hammered the +150 instead of putting some on and hoping for a better price. My mistake yet again.

[yisman]

I always do it that way. I bet some at the original and then see if it goes up. If not, at least I have some at the original price.

[shari91]

I do too but I knew this time it was going to drop. That's what pisses me off. Same as Murray vs DelPo when I told everyone to bet Murray. It's like what's the point of finally getting something right for once if you're not going to act on it?! So frustrating.

[Demonata]

I really think I'm gonna take Murray... Anybody else taking him?
