I'm going with Roddick +240

[big joe 1212]

Anyone going against Fed or Nadal?

[j0hnnyv]

nope im taking djokovic to take care of the choker.

-260 ftw

[WestsidePete]

WTF happened to Bartoli ?? up 3-1 in the first and has lost 6-3 6-0...dumb biatch

[meganie]

Zvonareva was simply too good, even if she played like against Jankovic, she still would've lost. 3-1 was mostly because Zvonareva had a shaky start, netted almost every forehand.

[jhause13]

I'm gonna go against Federer. Just a hunch.. odds were too good to pass up after almost losing in the previous round.

[EaglesPhan36]

Lou you should send Novak a gift basket for retiring.

[WestsidePete]

This had been a weird tourny....foot problems...toe surgery...barfing....quitting all over the place

[JColli32]

i had novak ML and -4.5 games and got both my bets refunded

zvonareva wasn't just too good ,
bartoli got injured during the match , she just isn't the type of player who retires as long as she is still able to walk.
Every top 100 woman player would have beat her in that condition

Ok, didn't notice that. She didn't look injured. Still think, a healthy Bartoli in the form she played Jankovic would've lost yesterday.

I watched that match. Did not see any sign of an injury or mention. Maybe heat - but Zvonareva just owns the girl. She even said it in her post-match. Heat might have played a little, but Vera is just better. And Bartoli is the only women's player that I've ever noticed a gut on.

Yowza. Good luck my man, I don't think that's the right play with the roof closed - but who knows.

Didnt u risk more units on Mr Ivanovic?

[SBR Lou]

Didnt u risk more units on Mr Ivanovic?

I started a thread saying putting 2 more units on Verdasco, but I never posted it here.

For instance, when I added units on Zheng I quoted the pick and said *adding*..

[daggerkobe]

[SBR Lou]

For example,

When I had a pick of J. Zheng at -326, I added more units on her. My way of tracking that in this thread was quoting the pick and saying the following...

Before I forget, I've added more units on Zheng which I posted in the In-Game day 2 thread.

So adding here too.

Adding more on *Zheng at -310
Risking 6.2 to win 2 units, this is separate from the posted stake already on her..

I never did this with Verdasco in this thread, so it'd be wrong for me to count it win or lose.

[daggerkobe]

OK....... I guess this is the Enron accounting I've been hearing so much about.

[SBR Lou]

OK....... I guess this is the Enron accounting I've been hearing so much about.

Seems pretty simple to me. I've graded all plays posted in this thread.

This thread is where I record picks posted. I wouldn't try to count a winner on something posted outside of this thread, but you're expecting me to grade something outside of this thread as a loser? Imagine if Verd. won and I tried to grade it as such in this thread, despite never having made the very clear note saying *add more units* as I did with J. Zheng.

[daggerkobe]

So if i created a thread proclaiming that im taking Verdasco for 5 units, i can still count it as a W cause I had Nadal in my "official" thread?

Cool.

[LT Profits]

Actually, since this is the official thread, plays should only be graded on what is posted in here. Period.

It's like when I give my opinions on other threads, but my grading is only based on what I post in my own thread. Seems pretty cut and dried to me.

[AgainstAllOdds]

Crazyl...did you just make a statement in a random thread about taking verd or did you start a whole new thread?

[LT Profits]

Crazyl...did you just make a statement in a random thread about taking verd or did you start a whole new thread?

Actually it shouldn't matter, because he didn't add any units here.

[daggerkobe]

He created a new thread in the tennis forum saying he was *adding* two more units on Verdasco.

But since it lost he says its not official.
