Love the Ferrero bets.. I wish I got mine in sooner the lines are dropping fast..

**Pride** · 04-16-10, 05:32 AM

if my book offered the o/u for tennis i would have played it in a heartbeat.

unfortunately i have to take the risky approach.

+3 units on the first tennis match is pretty satisfying

yeah because no one is crazy enough to take nadal at the original -1200 against a player that's had his number in the past, so people are pounding Ferrero cause the odds are great, but if you'd ask me, throwing your money away.

+6 is a much better bet if you want action on Ferrero, and of course, the over. Who knows though maybe he can pull off an upset.

Thanks (re Nadal to win Fr Open) TB, bol today ... now, go over go!

**RJ89** · 04-16-10, 05:41 AM

Yeah, I have more on the +6 and the over.. I think people are overreacting to the last two matches, but I think it's pretty clear he's still not the same as he was 2 years ago.

Why not wait until the finals to bet that match (if nadal gets there). If Nadal and Fed both get to the finals, Nadal will be -200 or less. Same if Djok gets there. Just in case Nadal withdraws at some point, gets injured, etc. If he makes it to the finals, and Fed will probably make it (what has he made like 22 straight Major semis? crazy), then the line will almost be the same as betting Nadal now at -150.

**TennisBabe** · 04-16-10, 05:45 AM

Is Nadal healthy? Yes. Is he back in form? Yes. But this price against a good clay court player is crazy.

**Iwinwithsports** · 04-16-10, 05:50 AM

Missed it by 15 seconds oh well, hope it all pans out for u guys

GOOD LUCK

**brko** · 04-16-10, 05:52 AM

having in mind what Nadal did in this in tournament so far, i took in parlay Ferrero +7.5 @ -220 (my local bookie has variety of handicaps) hoping Ferrero holds in first set

**Iwinwithsports** · 04-16-10, 05:52 AM

Does bookmaker offer transfers to the Greek? Cuz I'm betting at BetJM which sucks for tennis,

**Goat Milk** · 04-16-10, 06:08 AM

complete focus for Nadal. Ferrero supporters should keep their fingers crossed

**Westsidee** · 04-16-10, 06:16 AM

yes! He breaks back!

**elcho** · 04-16-10, 06:16 AM

Ferrero !!!

**Puda** · 04-16-10, 06:17 AM

Nadal will win a tough 1st set and then steam roll through the 2nd.

**Westsidee** · 04-16-10, 06:18 AM

hope wether is shitty all the way

**Westsidee** · 04-16-10, 06:21 AM

stop whining Nadal

**brko** · 04-16-10, 06:28 AM

crap!

**Ansermil** · 04-16-10, 06:33 AM

Go Ferrero! :P

**brko** · 04-16-10, 06:38 AM

suspended - it's raining there and strong wind blows, but continue cheering

The best way to bet a player to win a tourney is to play the ML each game. If you bet $100 on him to win the tourney at -1.50 you make $50. Bet his ML all the way through and you'll get a bigger return.

Same as the NHL/NBA playoffs. If you think a team will win the championship then bet the individual series and any game 7's (if you have additional funds) or bet them in the conference championship and then in the finals.

**rwsmith** · 04-16-10, 07:12 AM

Is there any good place online to watch these matches?

exactly. why bet nadal -150 for the french when an injury could arise/he loses. Fed 22 straight semis or like 19 or some shit like that in majors, and if its fed in the finals/djok most likely will be this year at the french, nadal won't be more than -200. theres no point to bet him -150 when you can just bet him in the quarters, semis, then finals and get a much better return with a much less risk.

**Goat Milk** · 04-16-10, 07:39 AM

cmon ferrero...0 confidence for him right now, lost 5 straight games.

**TennisBabe** · 04-16-10, 07:57 AM

Need Ferrero to win this game to push the +6 :-(

**Goat Milk** · 04-16-10, 07:59 AM

come on you couldn't even get 3 games in the 2nd second ferrero? fckin a Over 18.5 is done

**Goat Milk** · 04-16-10, 08:10 AM

Lost the over by 1 game

**TennisBabe** · 04-16-10, 08:10 AM

Over losses by 1/2 a game...+6 pushes

From this point on Nadal will not lose a match right through the French Open. Take it to the bank. Remember that spanking he gave Federer in the French Open finals two years ago? Expect it to happen again (although he probably won't be facing Federer in the finals)

**himeshforex** · 04-16-10, 08:14 AM

nadal is back in business fellas ..i agree tennisbabe... watching him steamroll his last 2 opponents is powerful

**TennisBabe** · 04-16-10, 08:28 AM

WTA CHARLESTON
Nadia Petrova +240
Risking 1.00 to win 2.40

Daniela Hantuchova +310
Risking 1.00 to win 3.10

**himeshforex** · 04-16-10, 08:31 AM

best of luck TB

That confirms it. I am NEVER betting on something with the hook again.

For some reason my dinky Australian book had it at 18 so I pushed but that 0.5 crap for you is enough to do my head in.

NO MORE HOOK for me.

(please remind me of this in the future. Thanks)

**Iwinwithsports** · 04-16-10, 08:45 AM

I'm on it good luck

**nulldah** · 04-16-10, 08:46 AM

4-0 so far for favs (ferrer, vinci, nadal, schiavone) hope family circle QF dogs will bark.. otherwise wont be interesting tennis day to watch
