You must be very uninitiated then. It was good, but still far more thrilling than it was good.

Tie break yes. Technical tennis in this match was garbage though.

I'll tail you on the Devvarman play

got it done!

Tsonga - Gulbis thoughts? I'm thinking of putting some on Gulbis

ATP 23rd Feb:

Gulbis ML 2.05 x10 units*large Wager*

*gulbis in 2-0 sets, but I'm not that gutsy

tipsadontlikehim · 02-23-14, 07:05 AM

would never put 10U on this Gulbis (golden rule) but GL he may win

matt1216 · 02-23-14, 07:11 AM

he's a cut above them at the moment. Gulbis will be fine, people worry too much. Tsonga chokes on more dicks in the same situation

Hardcoar · 02-23-14, 07:46 AM

The only thing that worries me is your notoriously shitty odds.

Like I said, keep this up and you'll ensure certain loss. You need to come out on top of closing market lines to be successful.

JC1186 · 02-23-14, 07:57 AM

I'm not so sure I'd take Gulbis @ 2.50. So surprised people are all over him. Gulbis has beaten one good player this year. Del Potro. Who's sub par.

It's no secret Tsonga's been well below his best. But that means he can only go up, and imo, he' will lift for the final and expose Gulbis in similar fashion to Berdych did in last weeks final.

7-5 6-3 to Jo.

Or he can stay the same which is not enough to beat Gulbis at the moment.

Good call on Gulbis. The better player right throughout. Haven't watched Jo all week.

I shoulda been that gutsy @4:1 odds. Oh well

MartyFR · 02-23-14, 10:07 AM

Thoughts on other plays today?

I'm thinking about Zako & Cilic.

Hardcoar · 02-23-14, 10:09 AM

Are you saying you could've taken @ 5 on 2-0???

Yes, of course.

Cilic is a no brainer right now. Just do it

Yes, of course.

Those were some ridiculous odds, if that's true (4:1 and @ 5 means +400, just so you know).

matt1216 · 02-23-14, 10:17 AM

I just looked again, it was 3.50 on 2-0 gulbis. Not 4:1. My bad

Ernests Gulbis (-1.5 Sets) vs Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (+1.5 Sets) for Match.

3.670

Yeah that sounds more like the shitty odds I would've expected. Not even market odds were that high so it would've been surprising. Congrat's on the hit though. I gave Gulbis a great chance but closing odds were fair to me.

poet · 02-23-14, 10:35 AM

Matt, I have not had a chance to watch Cilic yet, is his form that superior to Anderson's right now or is Anderson not on top of his game?

Cappinpicks · 02-23-14, 10:43 AM

tsonga is the worst player ever to make top 10, gulbis was a no brainer good call wish i didn't fall asleep shoulda went all in

DownTheLine · 02-23-14, 10:45 AM

Gulbis always seems to straight set his higher ranked scalps, it's hilarious. I was too chicken shit to bet on Gulbis to win set 1, and even thought about set 2 @ 2.05. Still didn't seem amazing value so I missed out.

It's a medium stake play but yes Cilic has been great for about a month now. I'm sure he may take some time off after this tournament as well. Energy levels will be fine. Anderson will be up for the challenge but I still think he's out classed. 3 sets Maybe. Cilic ML for real tho

freshguy222 · 02-23-14, 01:01 PM

Any thoughts on Nadal? He hardly ever plays two bad matches in a row and will be up for it. His reaction yesterday showed that this tournament means a lot for him and Dolgopolov will feel the pressure of having to play a tight match since since yesterday verything else would be a disappointment.

BigPage25 · 02-23-14, 01:07 PM

thanks for gulbis play matt!!

Nadal doesn't look 100% dolgo can probably cover the spread here
