Safin probably won't win no. IF and its a big IF, Safin keeps himself together then he is capable of beating Federer but the chance of Safin coming out and playing his best and keeping his composure for a whole best of five set match is slim. Fed will win though the odds are pretty shitty

Through two sets Roddick is up 2-0 on Santoro. Roddick looking alot better so far as compared to the way he played in the Malisse match. He's even getting some net points as well.Pretty impressive. Playing alot more aggressive as well with his ground game. Looks good so far.Still some time left in the match so anything is possible

[Stacocakes]

roddick with an easy 3-0 sets win.First part of the parlay has come in. Roddick looked really good today. I think he felt that since he was playing santoro he could afford to take some chances and become more aggressive with his groundstrokes and it worked out pretty well. Do I think he can beat someone like DJO with his current form, probably not. Djo hasn't been playing well so he is there for the taking but Roddick would need another match like he played today to have a chance of beating djo.If roddick plays like he did against Malisse when he plays DJO,he will lose

Fvk Roddick.

I will fade him ... every single time.

Just dont like his upper class belief. This c0cksvker thinks hes the best sh!t out there ... and I will fade him everytime.

Sorry to get all cranky .... Glad your cashing ur plays.

He won't lose vs. Robredo.

@Stacocakes
I thought he did really well in the third set, when he started to play more aggressively, if he continues that, I see a chance vs. Djokovic (who has to win against Baghdatis first, which is not the easiest thing to do).

JCF is 4-1 in his career vs santoro.Santoro is old and over the hill.

Wait 'till I show this to Nicky!

You gotta take emotion out of your picks. Fade him if it makes sense, but not just because you don't like him. I hate Djokovic, but would take him if it makes sense & wasn't about to try Delic last night.

Well nailed two of the three picks in my late night degenerate parlay.To bad with the Ana pick. I knew I shouldn't have included her in that parlay. The odds moved from -615 to -380 for a reason.Can't believe I went against the line movement on the play.Thankfully I parlayed the play and didn't play it straight up.Would have hurt alot.Would have been nice to cash the easy roddick and Federer plays though.Oh well.

As far as ivanovic's game, she should have lost in the second set last night. She was being broke left and right but Klay was just choking when trying to hold her serve and finish the match.Klay was more powerful and pushing Ana all around the court. It looked like Klay was the girl that was ranked in the top 5 not Ana.

Adding a parlay to get the money back from the lost parlay last night.
Pretty easy and self explanatory

Parlay Nadal and Murray to both win. Should both have no problems.

Best of luck tonight guys

[jgbgsox]

no money playing nadal and murray both -1500 would like to see haas win

[Stacocakes]

This Gonzalez-Gasquet match has been unbelievable. 6 AM where I am and I am still watching this. Unbelievable fifth set back and forth. You would have to think after a grueling match like this that the winner will be easy pickings for there next round opponent

Just waiting for nadal to finish off haas here so I can cash the parlay

[Stacocakes]

Amazing finish to the gonzo match.He ends up beating Gasquet 12-10. Then someone ****ing lights the stands on fire or something.Smoke everywhere.Who knows what the **** happened. Great match though

[Stacocakes]

Nadal finally finishes off Haas.Time to go to bed

Parlay cash - Nadal/Murray WINNA

[Stacocakes]

Couple things to look at for tonights match:

Nadal won't lose this match.Nadal hasn't even lost a set yet in this tournament and he has played some pretty decent players along the way (Gonzo, Simon,Haas). I got Nadal at -585 so I am going to make a play on that

Another prop that I found interesting was who will get the first break in the match.Nadal -300 and Verdasco +250. Thought this would be alot higher then this.Verdasco's serve is pretty shakey and really is more effective when he is playing a right handed player so I think Nadal will probably break Verdasco first.I know Nadal's serve isn't the greatest on tour but he knows how to fight and hold his serve.

Nadal -585
Nadal -300 first break

Best of luck tonight guys.Should be a good match

[Stacocakes]

Crazy match with Nadal and verdasco.Stayed up till 7 AM my time to watch this.Thank god it didn`t end up to bad. Had Nadal prematch but got the jitters and hedged out the bet for a loss during the match. Shitty thing is though that I picked up some Nadal around the time when verdasco was `cramping`. Got a shitty price on it but I Thought Nadal would roll from that point which he obviously didn`t. When its all said and done, finished even after all that shit for the match odds bet of Nadal. Cashed the first break bet though thankfully so that made things a bit better.
A couple matches left for this tournament.Will have the final plays in the next couple of days. Should be a good weekend of tennis.

[Stacocakes]

Boys over 3.5 sets -219. Not sure who is going to win but this will go at least four.I`ll take it

Best of luck

[Stacocakes]

Over 3.5 sets cashes after the second set. Good work for Fed getting the break back in the second and winning the set. Looks to be a great match so far.Always good to cash a bet right off the bat
