Think Tsonga is safest bet he looks on a mission and focused

[Brian891]

[beermankirk]

taking the 2 dogs in atp

[Dillonious Monk]

I am in total agreement. Tsonga -150.

BTW, Frankie totally won that rematch with Bendo, but I don't care because Nate Diaz is my favorite LW and he's taking the belt him come December.

[Demonata]

Going to be nice to watch Tsonga and Berdych win.

If Tsonga gives 2 shits about this match he'll win. But damn Isners serve is tough to beat.

[gators0708]

Surprised nobody mentioned Isner is playing in his home town...

Isner has not had a good return game all tournament so its going to come down to Tsonga just having to break him once each set, which is very possibly considering how he is playing this tournament. I dont see Isner breaking Tsonga at all.

not a huge play for me. just normal.

[Demonata]

Tsonga should win because isner horrible at returning serves.also bad at rallys. Tsonga has a fast serve too.

[tevari]

I'm on Isner today to win 2-0 @ +270

Isner has not had a good return game all tournament

This is a 24-7 statement. It's not like Isner relies on a return game in any match. Talking about Tsonga just having to break him once. Through their match-ups, that's been a tough task for Tsonga and if Tsonga is broken - that set is pretty much done. Isner had the one blip early against Klizan and since that match hasn't even offered a break point. Doesn't mean it won't happen today, but if you don't even get a break point - you're going to have to beat Isner in a tie break, which is right up his alley. 4-0 vs. Tsonga in tie breaks.

Not sure I see where Tsonga is really playing great tennis this tournament. He did the bare minimum as usual against lesser opponents in Bellucci & Stakhovsky and let Staks stick around way too long. Granollers was ready to pack his shit up yesterday and looked the part. Anyone who played him yesterday would have gotten a similar scoreline. Not saying he doesn't have a chance or anything like that, but any notion that this is much more than a toss-up seems misguided to me.

Motivation for me is with Isner who is defending his title points this week. Tsonga still a question mark as to if he wants to keep pushing through the weekend or get ready for the US Open.

Said it to begin this tournament, if he wanted to contend this week - he definitely could, but this is the match to me where you find out what Tsonga wants. Up to this point, he didn't have to do much more than show up with a decent serve.

[w@lt]

Could someone explain what you're essentially betting on if you take a +1.5 game spread? (Isner @ 5Dimes right now)

[tevari]

Isner +1.5 games won. IE: If he loses 6-7, 6-7, your bet would lose. If he lost 6-7, 7-6, 6-7, your bet would win.

as i have explained numerous times over the past few days here i am far far far from a tennis expert. total noob just going by what i see. I dont believe this is a match Tsonga is just going to blow Isner away in which is why i am playing him very small. just for some action really to be honest.

[zoo youk]

actually you may have just swayed me to play Isner

[zoo youk]

where can I get Isner +1.5 sets? not seeing at 5dimes in the prop sections or regular ATP section.

[tevari]

heritage has it..

[zoo youk]

I actually just played this as I feel its the much better bet. probably a bad price...but think the price also tells a lot how this match will play out as well.

I understand what it means, but I guess I'm asking what the point in taking it would be? You would need 3 tiebreak sets to win? That seems unlikely to happen.

[gators0708]

Isner is $$$ today, dont be dumb!!

[EaglesPhan36]

I don't usually like spreads less than 2 games, but over the course of a match if it goes 3 sets ... you never know how it will end. Take their meeting last November in Paris - Tsonga won the match 3-6, 7-6, 7-6. +1.5 covers.

[tevari]

On rare occasions, a favorite -games will hit even though he/she loses the match. Say....6-0, 6-7, 6-7.

[tb1984]

You never know in tennis, you could win with Isner +1.5 games for like Isner loses 4-6, 6-2, 4-6

[zoo youk]

o boy. i think i mucked up big time with that tsonga -210 bet. i was factoring in that if Isner wins that, that bet would cash but after second thought, one would believe that is def not the case and if isner wins its voided and only cashes if Tsonga wins 2-1 correct?

You cash it as long as Tsonga does not win 2-0. You win in any other scenarios.

[zoo youk]

idk for the fkn price of -210 you would think Isner winning would cash. this has me ****** up. waiting on 5dimes live chat now

[zoo youk]

You cash it as long as Tsonga does not win 2-0. You win in any other scenarios.

you positive? the wording messes it up a little bit as it says Tsonga NOT to win 2-0 vs Tsonga wins 2-0...so it could be just a prop with Tsonga alone

[zoo youk]

yeah got it cleared up. was right after all. dur.

[tb1984]

you positive? the wording messes it up a little bit as it says Tsonga NOT to win 2-0 vs Tsonga wins 2-0...so it could be just a prop with Tsonga alone

Yes, I'm sure. I usually play these bets.

You lose: Tsonga wins 2-0
You win: Tsonga wins 2-1, Isner wins 2-0, Isner wins 2-1
Push: a player retires

[iMxth3xbossx5000]

I regret not taking Isner myself. I laid on Tsonga yesterday.

Took isner feel like I shoulda taken the over though
