My Large "Must Play" for French Open Round 1

[kenz]

Gulbizio all the way. But me losing $75 versus your $1000, I would not feel bad if Gulbis loses But dont see Radek winning this.

Cheers mate. You're an exception though kenz.. Most would take their own winnings in a heartbeat.

Gulbis off to quick start here @ 4-1. Seems to be untroubled on serve too. But it's early days.

I was very close to pulling the trigger on the 1st set market instead. So funnily enough even if Stepanek loses the first I won't be too disappointed. Knowing my bet could already have lost.

Well it's over.

Gulbis better than expected. Huge serving and good consistently. Particular coolness under pressure.

Stepanek poorer than expected.

The gulf in class between the two is hugely noticeable. I see why you saw value in such short odds Kenz.

Anyway this loss is easy to take. It's just a poor bet. Full stop.

And the best part is that I was going to play Stepanek no matter what. And the other two options were a similar stake on the +7.0 cap or +2.5 in sets. Both look like losers.

Moving on.

And then two hours later I've made 80% back. Which is a great feeling after dropping nearly a 1K!



That's me done for the night haha.

Unlucky. They were going toe-to-toe until Tursunov shit the bricks when serving to take it into the TB.
