Aussie Open Round 2 In-Game-Thread

**EaglesPhan36** · 01-20-09, 01:17 AM

It's hard winning period. Taking big favorites as we've had the conversation back & forth - to me, it is not worth it for reasons like Youzhny losing in straights and Andreev being on the ropes. One bad investment like that wipes out 4-5 nice winners. I'd just rather win or lose with dogs or up to about -200 favorites at most and take my beatings that way.

Story of my gambling life

I have gonzo right now and he got the break so I want to get out of my bet and offset it and make some money. I look for the live line...nope, live betting only during changeovers. Have to wait for the gonzo service game to finish. What happens?He gets broken.**** you gonzo you asshole

**EaglesPhan36** · 01-20-09, 01:21 AM

You're solid dude. He just broke Hewitt back. 4-2.

**Stacocakes** · 01-20-09, 01:24 AM

Hope he serves out this shit

Live betting right now gonzo -1000

Still not showing it on espn.They are showing the end of the moore/mchale match since everyone wants to see that

Explain Lou, I think Blake loses tonight, what do you think?

**EaglesPhan36** · 01-20-09, 01:25 AM

Lou must be talking with the Russian mob and getting Andreev bailed out. Up a break in the 4th trying to tie it at 2 sets.

**EaglesPhan36** · 01-20-09, 01:29 AM

God. F-ing ESPN trying to make the McHale girl cry or what?

**jgbgsox** · 01-20-09, 01:30 AM

is tsonga a good play, thoughts please

**EaglesPhan36** · 01-20-09, 01:33 AM

Tsonga withdrew from the last tourney with back concerns. Obviously he is feeling better or he would have withdrew here too, but keep in mind that the guy reportedly was bed ridden last week because he couldn't hardly move. He should win easily, but I'd rather skip it and make sure he's fit before riding him any.

**jgbgsox** · 01-20-09, 01:36 AM

i will stay away, who do u think would be a good play

**Stacocakes** · 01-20-09, 01:43 AM

Haas is the play guys. He is getting pounded right now. Was -130 yesterday and is now -220. Should easily beat the clay courter schwank

**EaglesPhan36** · 01-20-09, 01:44 AM

If you can stomach paying a big price -340 or more, Stosur on the ladies side might be solid. She's an Aussie and she beat the same girl in the 1st round last year. She also nearly beat Serena Williams last week in Sydney, although Serena didn't play well last week.

Only thing I don't like is you have no idea what kinda shape he is in. Nor do you know about Schwank since neither has played a match. Schwank isn't useless on hard courts. He played Tursonov real tough at the US Open and nearly beat Roddick last year. Haas should win, but I would have felt alot better taking him yesterday. Over paying today - meh.

**jgbgsox** · 01-20-09, 01:49 AM

will her match be on tv?

**EaglesPhan36** · 01-20-09, 01:50 AM

Tsonga is down a break in the 1st. Uncle Lou can't believe Andreev got to a 5th set.

Doubt it. Don't recall for sure, but I think ESPN was talking alot about Nadal & Blake. Not likely they'll show an Aussie in a match that probably no one cares about.

**jgbgsox** · 01-20-09, 01:54 AM

nadal is -10000 damn

**jgbgsox** · 01-20-09, 01:57 AM

they probally wont show haas either i guess

**EaglesPhan36** · 01-20-09, 02:02 AM

ESPN for sure just advertised Nadal & Blake as the matches they'll show when they resume coverage at 3:30 am ET. Only way they show Haas is if it gets close. Not sure about the tennis channel though if you get that. They are showing some stuff too.

**EaglesPhan36** · 01-20-09, 02:06 AM

Congrats to Lou. You dodged the -770 bullet somehow. Andreev up a break in the 5th. You better get to church tomorrow or something son.

Agreed.

Plus Schwank's mental toughness is not the best.

**Stacocakes** · 01-20-09, 03:06 AM
