His meltdown was expected as he's been having issues all season. The real trash on tour: Monfils and Dimitrov - both up 2-0 & tank. Wish had put even $5 against them

cincinnatikid513 · 07-01-19, 02:57 PM

u suck gael monfils don't know why i keep picking u to win few matches always a let down

Slipknot26 · 07-01-19, 03:17 PM

cincinnatikid513 · 07-01-19, 09:41 PM

I believe they do it after each round is over...round 1 ends after completion of tomorrow's matches.

pavyracer · 07-01-19, 10:23 PM

It's going to be the same crap again like French Open. Djokovic, Nadal and Federer in the semis. All others suck.

shadymcgrady · 07-01-19, 11:12 PM

Zverev couldn't break an egg with a hammer

They normally have a running total I think... that's why I usually can post scores each day if I'm around. Their site is so bloody glitchy half the time though so chances are they'll get it sorted soon!

pavyracer · 07-02-19, 11:50 AM

Does anyone's bracket have Struff facing Baghdatis in the first round?

Shari can you take a look at my bracket?

Something is messed up.

SamsNCharge99 · 07-02-19, 04:18 PM

Yuck. Bad start for me here

Its messed up for everyone, it seems. Due to Coric withdrawal they (organizers) switched players.
Putting Berretini in for Coric slot.
Then Struff into Berretini's original spot.

so this changes 3 pairs, and not sure how will this be calculated. Noone will get point for Berretini and Struff I suspect

JAKEPEAVY21 · 07-03-19, 08:37 AM

Wawrinka just went down in 5 sets

killed a really nice parlay that I had brewing

PharaohUB · 07-03-19, 10:08 AM

Oops i forgot to enter my picks

Ugh. Parlays when you get close but miss by one pick, makes you want to pull your hair out.

Betting parlays is probably helping me go bald now for that reason, but finding a way to stop at least made the process somewhat slow and helped me maintain my sanity!

ArunSh · 07-03-19, 01:29 PM

So many of the higher seeds in men's tourney ousted in Round 1. Makes one wonder if they are switching with the women as to which major does that to ensure us folks trying to properly make brackets/bets never have a real chance!

This is bullshit. My bracket is messed up because they set up the draw incorrectly in the website.

Has happened in past, just gotta adjust your bracket accordingly before the final deadline. Is annoying, but that's just way that site is.

Tomic’s been fined his entire 45,000 pound match payment for the first round essentially for tanking. No consolation to anyone who picked him or worse out real $ on the match but at least the flog has been called out for being an arsehole again!

JAKEPEAVY21 · 07-04-19, 10:28 AM

Isner can go piss up a rope

MrSink · 07-04-19, 11:52 AM

Arunsh I have to admit. You are very good in those contests. World cup you were in top , all those american ones you are in top and now tennis. good job bud !

Cookie Monster · 07-04-19, 12:51 PM

In this same thread, I posted on Saturday about the draw changes and how it would be accounted. No excuses.

Thanks MrSink! I think you may be overestimating a bit though. Last French Open was first time I finished Top 10 in one of these in awhile! And yes I won the World Cup one last summer but that was kind of an isolated example!

Simple fact is I enter pretty much all of these contests so I'm bound to do well in a few of them here and there. You probably just don't notice all the times where I don't finish anywhere near the top (perhaps near the bottom!) which might give an exaggerated sense of how good at these I might actually be. But appreciate the thought!
