                We finally got one this week Blacky!!!

                This is when I wish we were all in the same place watching this together. My mouth feels like it's going to crack from smiling so hard! I so wanted our big bets to come through after a shithouse few days (for me anyway).

                    I didn't bet that one.

                    And please let's not get technical - I feel like the gambling gods are starting to pay us back for the strife we've been through this week.

                          Roddick's serve last night was on fire! If he can do that again today and play with the same intensity he will win today. Lots of Ace's are going to be the key for Andy today.

                                I think everybody got real lucky on the match because when Murray was up 4-2 on the tiebreak the review showed that durin the point that gave Fish thepoint and made it 4-3 he hit a ball out but Murray played through it so it wasnt called. That would have gave Murray a commanding 5-2 lead on the tiebreak. The commentators even showed the ball out and said it was a huge miss by the officials. Glad for everybody who cashed in though. I doubled up on Roddick to make back what I lost on Murray.

                                  As I said in your thread, the Ump robbed Fish of a decisive point late in the 1st set. It evened out after all, just as it should.

                                            Why does this make me uneasy?! Must be the past few days messing around with me.

                                                I know, I need to go back to being normal. I'm telling you, the past couple of days played with my head. For the first time in almost 20 years of betting I actually felt cursed. Winning both my bets in the Fish match has helped though.

                                                    It's weird isn't it - I guess almost all of us gamblers are superstitious folk (I know I am!) - like I was saying, it feels great to be on the right side of this close one, it so easily could have gone the other way. And when Fish was down in the final tiebreak you get that sinking feeling, like "not again...." but somehow, everything worked out ok

                                                      Could it be this easy? After the Fish match I think I deserve a nice easy match. I still haven't settled back in and this match could be over in the next 10 minutes lol

                                                            I put a lot of thought and work into Fish and Roddick. I didn't even bother to look at WTA odds. I don't need to put any work into Federer-Davydenko. I like Federer a lot. It's a high juice though and even 2-0 sets is not plus money. I can't see Federer losing to Davydenko. Davydenko has gotten the better of him late last year and in early January when Fed wasn't in top form and Davy was playing lights out, but Fed destroyed him in the Aus. Open after dropping the first set. In the end if you can stomach the ML price I think it's a safe bet.

                                                            As for Baggy-Nadal I don't know what to think. Nadal and Fed are the same price. I'd feel much more comfortable with Fed than Nadal though. In the end I think both will win, but if I had to make a play I'd go Federer and Baghdatis.

                                                              I may have a lot of years of betting behind me, but I still learn something new every day. I'll never believe anyone who says they have this whole thing figured out and as shown by my past few days, experience in years doesn't always equal money in the bank.

And when Fish was down in the final tiebreak you get that sinking feeling, like "not again...." but somehow, everything worked out ok
                                                              The best thing for me was seeing that stat about Fish and Murray in tiebreaks that I posted in Wil's in-match thread. I'm not usually a huge stat person at that point in a match but for some reason it kept me calm for whatever reason. Normally at that point I think I would've jumped on Murray to win the tiebreak as it would be fitting - tank the 2nd just to come back and burn us in the end. But that stat saw me through and saved me cash!!

                                                              Yes!!!! We deserve a win like this. Too many 3rd set tiebreak losses and missed opportunities by our players this week. It's payback time!

                                                              I really wish each of you could come here for the Aus Open. Middle of summer (winter for you guys), able to sit so close to the players you could smell their sweat in the first couple of rounds for CHEAP, and a really knowledgeable and enthusiastic tennis crowd. It's awesome! Drinking beer and wine in the sun makes you a bit goofy but it helps to heal the pain if you lose a bet!
