isner v. raonic

[mrlif1]

loving isner at -160. anyone agree? should be back and forth, obviously both good servers. raonic is a bit more erratic from what I've seen last couple weeks, and isner should be a touch fresher, is actually breaking folks, and has crowd support....thoughts?

[therealdealau]

I agree, love Isner and -2

[mrlif1]

-2 at + money as well. what's not to like

The serving statue? Are you guys kidding? I really hate Raonic but anyone can see he is the value here. Plus, Isner has sucked in Cinci for most of his career. Those kinds of stats don't just go away.

Taking -2 when either one like this is the favorite is wasteful as it could be two TBs to decide an a push at best. Really no edge or perceived value in this one. It's a coin toss. One guy is going to have an A serve day. One guy is probably B+ and loses 7-6, 7-6 or 7-6, 7-5 or something very close.

Thanks for some reinforcement for my +2.5 games pick on Raonic! Breaking Gasquet is one thing, but Isner just doesn't break other big servers and -2 games would mean Isner would have to break Raonic at least once.

Actually very well said, Isner's edge is holding serve to the TB then continuing to serve strongly then steal a point on the opponents TB serve. The -2 handicap is tough but with the crowd behind him and some confidence growing I think he can win in a 7-6 6-4 type fashion

2.50 for Raonic is pretty decent. Then again, I'm being shit on these couple weeks in tennis so fading might be a better choice

[Sam_Hawkins]

3.75 for there not to be a tiebreak is quite tempting. I know there will be...but it only needs one break of serve with those guys each set and the bet is won...kinda think isner could pull that off

[aufordboy]

Leaning towards Isner myself but have yet to pull the trigger.

Close match

Maybe over in total games

Raonic all around better player

[matt1216]

Raonic wins this. His form is coming around and isner has played a ton of tennis lately. Raonic will be looking to pay Isner back, the same way Isner beat Raonic at the Rogers cup last year.

[lucasdawg]

Raonic has played a bit but that final appearence in montreal has him high with confidence

[mrlif1]

lets go 'merica!

[leetreaper]

Raonic up 4-1, loses 5 in a row, :hang:

[mrlif1]

isner = America. fukkin right doggie! oh say can you see....props to isner backers, terrible match for tennis. still take the money though.

[joco]

this is why they say go with ur first instinct...planned on playing isner...went with raonic value play...lose

[Cornelius]

What a trash of a player raonic is. Overrated player. Lesson learnt don't bet on him again. A big server to lose 5 games like he did is so silly lol.

[joco]

forreal tho...up 4-1...almost as bad a pospisil losing 5 str8 points (3 of which were match points) in the break to go on to lose

[Hardcoar]

Betting on Raonic playing Djokovic @ 5 isn't a value play...
