Gulbis sucks, but he's got heavy money on him apparently. Line dropped from -450 Almagro at my book to -280. Very fishy because Gulbis hasn't done dick all year and Almagro is really good on dirt & has success in Rome.

**j0hnnyv** · 04-27-09, 09:14 AM

is he worth a play at +240? thats what hes at @ 5dimes. i already nailed cilic and wawrinka in a parlay overnight.... i thought gulbis blows???? is the fix in?

Honestly, I'd want at least +250 here, so I'd pass at +240. Keep your eye on the line though.

I'm gonna watch this line for the next hour and see if it moves any more. I may go for Gulbis simply because the crazy movement usually indicates something is up - be it a late injury to Almagro or the dreaded tennis fix-ola. But looking at LT's price & seeing the current price, that's a pretty hefty drop for a 1st round match where most of the smart money would go on Almagro (at least that's my opinion).

**j0hnnyv** · 04-27-09, 09:55 AM

up to +244 now

**j0hnnyv** · 04-27-09, 10:16 AM

i put a couple bux on him at +247. we'll see what he does.

**j0hnnyv** · 04-27-09, 10:17 AM

aw shit its raining. matches are suspended right now

**j0hnnyv** · 04-27-09, 12:03 PM

6.30 pm: It’s stopped raining! The covers should be off pretty soon… I would go and take a look around the players’ gym to see who’s nervously eating pasta and who’s listening to iPods/playing video games, but I’m busy putting up interviews on the homepage (Murray’s up already, Nadal will be up in two shakes of a lamb’s tail…)

that was about a half hour ago. gulbis should be ready to play ball shortly.

good luck gulbis backers

**j0hnnyv** · 04-27-09, 12:18 PM

7.17 pm: Absolutely torrential all of a sudden. I’m expecting an ark to hove into view any moment, particularly since the Vatican is just up the road. If the rain turns to locusts or frogs, I’ll be sure to let you know.

7.15 pm: More rain and darkness falling… As soon as I hear if and how the order of play is being rejigged, I’ll let you know…

6.59 pm: Covers being mopped in readiness for removal…

**EaglesPhan36** · 04-27-09, 12:21 PM

Fish & Andreev is the match on their court and they were 3-3 in the 1st.

**j0hnnyv** · 04-27-09, 12:48 PM

ya the news feed on the tournaments site said they could move gulbis to another court with no problem. its raining really hard now and both doubles matches were cancelled.

**LT Profits** · 04-27-09, 01:54 PM

Looks like they completed all the other matches. I assume Gulbis now goes tommow though? Seems too late Rome time to start a match now.

**daggerkobe** · 04-27-09, 02:24 PM

Napoleon Dynamite is a good value at +300.

**EaglesPhan36** · 04-27-09, 10:48 PM

Doesn't look like they're gonna play much tennis until maybe Thursday. 80% chance of rain on Tuesday. 60% Wednesday into Thursday. They may have to cram a lot of matches into a couple of days.

**j0hnnyv** · 04-27-09, 10:50 PM

damn my $$ is being held up on this clown until they get it in. I do not even like the play anymore after the way. who knows maybe he will still win.

**EaglesPhan36** · 04-27-09, 11:49 PM

I dunno. That match still is fishy as hell. I looked at the price at my book and Almagro is back up to -300, but the Gulbis price only went from +205 to +200. Weird movement like that says steer clear for me.

**j0hnnyv** · 04-27-09, 11:55 PM

-275/+235 at 5 dimes right now. im in @ +247 from earlier. we'll see what happens.

**EaglesPhan36** · 04-28-09, 01:18 AM

Forecast actually might clear a little Wednesday. Looked at another weather site. One has 60% rain, other has 30%. Tomorrow though both have 60-80. Be lucky to squeeze in a couple matches ... maybe.

**LT Profits** · 04-28-09, 09:24 AM

Youzny match got completed, three others started but are in rain delay. Gulbis did not start yet despte being scehduled for 7:45 AM ET today.

**j0hnnyv** · 04-28-09, 10:19 AM

ya sux and his odds are down to +225. hes getting hammered still lol. im glad I got +247 it seems like its worth the price. hope this bum wins.

**daggerkobe** · 04-28-09, 10:34 AM

This rain delay reminds me of a bet I made at Wimbledon few years ago.

Had a lot of money tied up on Canas. Finally they complete the match 73 hours after I bet. The douchebag lost but I still got my money refunded cause Bodog had a 72 hour rule back then.

**j0hnnyv** · 04-28-09, 10:37 AM

there is 4 matches going right now!!! maybe this bum will get a chance today.

**LT Profits** · 04-28-09, 03:37 PM

Gulbis match started!

Unbelievable considering it is after 9:30 at night

**LT Profits** · 04-28-09, 04:35 PM

I guess they have lights on Court 3.

**LT Profits** · 04-28-09, 04:37 PM

Match could be over if Gulbis gets broken here.

**LT Profits** · 04-28-09, 04:50 PM

Tiebreaker in second set.

**LT Profits** · 04-28-09, 04:56 PM

Gulbis wins tiebreak to force third set!

We are getting a run for our money at this fat price.

**LT Profits** · 04-28-09, 05:01 PM

Gulbis breaks first game of third set.

**SBR Lou** · 04-28-09, 05:02 PM

The Latavian landmine is looking poised right now.

**LT Profits** · 04-28-09, 05:10 PM

2 breaks, Gulbis serving up 3-0 in third.

**LT Profits** · 04-28-09, 05:31 PM

It was worth the 2-day wait to cash a +300!
