Well your avatar does resemble Mel Gibson.

**eddycash** · 08-26-14, 12:21 AM

is andujar a typo? i see the line at +2.5 sets (-155)

**McCarthyFam** · 08-26-14, 12:56 AM

Yeah it was prob a typo. I got +2.5 at -145 through betdsi.

**eddycash** · 08-26-14, 12:59 AM

is betdsi for u.s. players too?

**McCarthyFam** · 08-26-14, 04:18 AM

Yes, US accepted

Either to win one unit or risking one unit
Either to win 0.5 unit or risking one unit

All lines for the tournament I am getting from BetDSI

EP, just running this by you for a possible typo...

It's obvious that the colored plays are full strength (dogs to risk 1u/ faves to win 1u)
and you intend the black plays to be weaker plays...

in the past these weaker plays were just as u'd expect (dogs to risk 0.5u/ faves to win 0.5u)

which leads me to suspect that you actually intended:

Either to win one unit or risking one unit
Either to win 0.5 unit or risking 0.5 unit
_________

regardless of whether a correction is due ...adding the words "dog/fave" would help us degen cretins to follow along

**McCarthyFam** · 08-26-14, 12:04 PM

Great start!

**McCarthyFam** · 08-26-14, 02:02 PM

Why is it that if the opponent retires from the match, it's considered a No Bet

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-26-14, 02:04 PM

Sets bets, matches must be completed in full, just like if you bet the total # of games of game spread etc.

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-26-14, 02:07 PM

Yeah sorry for the typo. Any in gold are risking one unit on dogs or to win one unit on faves.

Black are the same set-up, but for 0.5 unit

**McCarthyFam** · 08-26-14, 02:50 PM

Sucks when the outcome wouldn't have changed regardless if it was completed or not.

**Dollars2Donuts** · 08-26-14, 04:55 PM

Yep, Sock screwed me today. Andujar +6 was my largest bet of the day (well aside from Kei, but that was easy money).

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-26-14, 05:03 PM

Add...
WTA: Gajdosova +1.5 sets @ +105
*1.0 unit play

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-26-14, 05:27 PM

Had three wench + sets plays. I skipped the others, so this one looks doomed.

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-26-14, 07:34 PM

My take on Day 2. Blogged for anyone who cares. Decent day overall with a mini profit thanks to my angry final pick.

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-27-14, 12:07 AM

2014 Season Overall Profit: +6.22
US Open: +2.60

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-27-14, 12:24 AM

8.27.14 US OPEN
WTA: Hantuchova +1.5 sets @ -105
WTA: Puig +1.5 sets @ -140
ATP: De Schepper +2.5 sets @ -129
ATP: Donskoy +125
ATP: Gabashvili +232
ATP: Baghdatis +349

**Dollars2Donuts** · 08-27-14, 10:36 AM

Ouch....have Hanchukova at +4.5 games....you are much better off with her +1.5 sets....my wager is done.

I like Cuevas in his match versus Anderson....down 4-1 right now I think he is starting to find his stroke and his mobility is looking better. If I was on a site with live betting, I would take a flier on Cuevas here.

**Dollars2Donuts** · 08-27-14, 11:32 AM

Looks like a rough morning for me....Hantuchova blew two break points at 2-2 in 2nd set, Dodig just blew his service game in the 2nd set deciding game....ugh.

**Dollars2Donuts** · 08-27-14, 11:36 AM

And now Cuevas just lets 3 break points pass him by. What the heck is going on today.

Bet on bums you get bum results

**Bumdeal** · 08-27-14, 12:24 PM

did someone say my name?

oh, nevermind.

That is possibly the stupidest thing I have ever read on this forum (well the tennis forum anyway). Cuevas is far from a bum....physical issues for three years, sure. He plays Anderson tough.

I commented earlier on Cuevas and he was a great play here down a set and a break. I am not sure what the live odds were but I bet you could have had him at +1200 or better. He is not in control of this match....

I have him at +7 games, which before this started looked fantastic to me...i just wish wish I had access to live betting....bet365 here I come.

**McCarthyFam** · 08-27-14, 12:43 PM

Baghdatis is struggling to even play with that ankle. Just needs to give this one up

**McCarthyFam** · 08-27-14, 12:58 PM

Thank God he retired

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-27-14, 01:08 PM

Ditto to the above.

**Dollars2Donuts** · 08-27-14, 01:11 PM

Agreed. I had him ML and + games.

Dodig retiring from his match though....that's another story. Ouch.

damn know it all.

**Dollars2Donuts** · 08-27-14, 01:21 PM

It's funny. This season I am 0-8-13 on matches that have been retired. Seems a little funny to me....why I am always on the wrong side is funny to me.

**McCarthyFam** · 08-27-14, 01:22 PM

Great win on Gabashvili!

**riffraff24** · 08-27-14, 01:29 PM

EP does 5d grade that Bagh match as a loss? They did for me...

edit: guess so according to customer service. lame

**eddycash** · 08-27-14, 01:49 PM

bovada gives no action on retired matches, so all tennis bets are staying there for me

**McCarthyFam** · 08-27-14, 01:51 PM

Books must all have different rules for a match that is retired. Betdsi grades it as a no bet regardless of which side you were on
