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

This is the single best short-read to wise you up to differences in retirement rules.

Are you penetrating kidding me. Had a bet on Dancevic winning the set, he gets 6-1 ahead in the tiebreak and fuckin loses it 6-8. Done with this goddamn US Open.

me too
I look and he's up 6-1 next thing I see he's down 7-6

He hadn't lost a service game all set and was looking good.

then he comes back in the first service game of the 2nd Set serving up a storm again

Its the first good thing to happen to me all day. On Sousa ML and -4 games for my biggest play of the day.

**Dollars2Donuts** · 08-27-14, 04:16 PM

And As I write that Donskoy gets broken in the 5th set.

What a horrid day. I believe I am also going to air out the rest of the US Open.

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-27-14, 04:22 PM

Booked Dr Schepper at +2.5 Sets @ +105 instead.

too many unpredictable things happen. there is no consistency.

in the 2nd Set Dancevic looks like a world beater. He can do no wrong. but he couldn't get one service point in 3 chances to win the 1st Set. ok

**burtonrider726** · 08-27-14, 05:25 PM

Stevie Johnson killed me today with retiring. Up 2 sets to 1 and retires in the 4th.

Unfortunately, that is not that unpredictable. Dancevic sucks. I finally stopped trying to back him earlier in the year.

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-27-14, 07:05 PM

Well finishing right around even today seems fair.

edit: guess so according to customer service. lame

Yeah that are a one set for action book. I've found over the years that I prefer on books that require a complete match. Might cause you to miss a win here and there, but it seems that the bailouts help out more at least psychologically for me. This week for example. I guess I'm 1-1 on that. Burned by the Sock retirement cancelled the Andujar bet and then grateful today for Baghdatis going down early.

More Fine Swing on the blog today. Twitter me if you're kind enough. Just tennis thoughts again, not picks.

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-27-14, 08:14 PM

Feeling saucy tonight. Under the Lights b-yatch.

Add..
ATP: Wawrinka-Bellucci Over 33 @ -107

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-27-14, 09:37 PM

Saucy = drink more to absorb the impending loss. Loochi stinks. Wawa on cruise control.

**mrlif1** · 08-27-14, 10:16 PM

Gin & tonics?

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-27-14, 10:42 PM

Wine is a friend o' mine and so is Stani-sloth. Thanks for tanking the set shitdikk. As long as they finish now, it's a casher.

**poet** · 08-27-14, 11:03 PM

EP, you bet on the right t w at tonight.

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-27-14, 11:07 PM

Wawrinka didn't play well in his opener, so really if Bellucci served decent tonight he should have been able to stick in. Was not sure if he would win a set, so took that total - I'm always looking to fade WaWa.

ep were u sober when u chose the picks for tomo?

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-28-14, 12:38 AM

Yup. I don't make drunk picks. I'm a functional drunk, but am not even close to buzzed at the moment.

**eddycash** · 08-28-14, 12:44 AM

Nice, you have my respect. lets get some wins tomo!

**eddycash** · 08-28-14, 12:54 AM

Vanderwedge just moved to +155, get her done

I noticed that both you and I saw that monster line movement on Seppi. Good luck tomorrow. I think the public is in for a stressful match tomorrow.

Mentioned it before but it doesn't matter who Kygrios verses, the odds will always drop. Public loves him.

that's gotta be Busta (as in Pablo Carreno-), right?

one i already locked in...

ballpark similarly-ranked opponents + one French + one Spanish + important match = no-brainer on a pick'em pool...

as a bet it gets even easier to know who to stab at...as the big +sign on the Spanish player here + the importance of the match is enough to offset any H2H issues based on earlier/non-GS encounters

it's victor estrella burgos but many sites just hav his name as victor estrella

**fitguy67** · 08-28-14, 07:22 AM

thanks SS,

BTW...whadya sharp guyz think of CBusta +267 vs. Paire (as straightforward an auto-play as they come, imo)

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-28-14, 07:51 AM

I've pretty much quit betting Paire matches this season. He's on the same plane of existence as Dolgopolov to me. You truly never know what you are going to get. You can get a guy who can knock off top five players one match and a guy who couldn't beat a WTA player the next. Rather not worry about which one will show up in a given match personally!

**Dollars2Donuts** · 08-28-14, 11:26 AM

All of the Spanish guys in this USO are falling apart. They work too hard during the summer....nothing left.

And of course the Querrey match will go the distance and the Nishikori match gets retired....would have been nice if GL retired for us over backers.

Should have known better to go with an 60%+ TI consensus at this price + dirt ass Llodra who will probably retire during his next match.

Bingo.

**Dollars2Donuts** · 08-28-14, 12:06 PM

Hahahahahahaha.....so I grab Wang at +4 games...wins the first set 6-4, loses the second set 4-6. Should be an easy cover here, right?

Gives up 11 consecutive points (7 of those on HER serve) to lose 6-2 and I get a PUSH. That is this year's USO in a nutshell for me.
