Wow. Superb time to suck on serve Rafa. Just blew the under.

**MUHerd37** · 06-04-10, 12:05 PM

Rafa just falling apart some here. He should still win in 4

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-04-10, 12:30 PM

I didn't doubt he'd win in 3 even after blowing it, but damn dude that was a perfect set-up. Money must have been on the over, including Rafa's.

**MUHerd37** · 06-04-10, 12:31 PM

Rafa -440 right now over Soderling.

**MUHerd37** · 06-04-10, 12:32 PM

That will get bet up pretty good. Stosur up to -465

**beefcake** · 06-04-10, 01:58 PM

Wonder how many people are going for broke on the stosur/nadal parlay...

**Stacocakes** · 06-04-10, 02:06 PM

Eagles sorry about that under.I can't believe that didn't hit. I stopped watching when he had the break in the third. I am surprised that Melzer broke back geez

Beefcake, that parlay has to be the play by most. No one wants to take Stosur as a huge favorite so they are going to look to reduce the odds by parlaying with Nadal. I think that parlay will win though I am not going to play it personally

**MUHerd37** · 06-04-10, 02:42 PM

Nadal down to -405

**JNic** · 06-04-10, 03:54 PM

do you guys think soderling really won't get a set in this final, i cant see that happening.
nadal not to win 3-0 -150? thoughts?

**Stacocakes** · 06-04-10, 05:37 PM

I think if I had to pick I think Nadal 3-1 in sets would be the play to make.Nadal has had lots of tiebreaks recently that he always seems to win but an errant point here or there and he could lose a set. I really hope that it is not like the French Open last year where Soderling got destroyed in three sets in the final. Seems he likes to throw in those straight set loss matches every once in awhile and it's hard to predict when they will occur. Coming into this French Open Soderling had lost three in a row remember and 2 of those matches were straight set losses.

I don't think Soderling will win but if I had to bet on whether or not he would win at least one set I would rather take my chances that he would.

Still a couple days to think about it JNic. Hearing grumblings of lots of rain on sunday as well which could delay or even postpone the match till monday. Will see what happens.

**Totolover1409** · 06-04-10, 06:12 PM

I really like the 3-1 sets for Nadal. Fair juice at +225. Just afraid Nadal might dominate in straight sets.

**pat venditto** · 06-04-10, 09:06 PM

Nadal 3-1 looks right. Soderling will pull one set out of his ass. Nadal might be nervous since he lost to this dude at the french last time.

**Stacocakes** · 06-05-10, 10:12 AM

Wow Stosur loses in straight sets in the final.Big -400 favorite goes down. Figured it was here tournament to win here

**beefcake** · 06-05-10, 10:37 AM

Was thinking of putting .5 unit on francesca,but laid off...9 am start time ,i sleep in late on saturdays..LOL>>

**beefcake** · 06-05-10, 10:40 AM

Staco,soderling scares the bejesus out of me,the future on nadal we got at such good $$ might be in danger,you gonna hedge?

**Stacocakes** · 06-05-10, 10:43 AM

Nah no hedging for me Beefcake. I am pretty confident in Nadal winning here. Just see to many signs pointing at Nadal right now. Had I got the outright at around -300 or if I was betting Nadal tomorrow at -400 or whatever he is then I might be a bit worried but we have a good price on Nadal so we should be more relaxed. I think it pretty much comes down to how many sets Nadal will win in. The consensus would probably be 3-1 Nadal and I think that is a good play. I would probably bet that if I didn't already have money on the outright in this match. The odds on the 3-1 are very good at +235 so I think that would be worth a play. Best of luck tomorrow guys. Let's hope the weather stays good so they can get the match in.

**MUHerd37** · 06-05-10, 12:13 PM

I'm kind of kicking myself in the ass for not making a small play on Schiavone. I had an epiphany with her a week or 2 before the French started. I only bet her a few times during the French. There she is in the final and I didn't bet her like I was supposed to. I'm extremely superstitious and that epiphany told me Schiavone.

**Stacocakes** · 06-05-10, 08:00 PM

Damn MUherd. Wonder what her outright was at the start of the tournament? Must have been around +5500 or something I am guessing...maybe even higher

**MUHerd37** · 06-05-10, 09:28 PM

I doubt any books for us even had that prop for her. I just should have bet her in the final. Stupid.

**Stacocakes** · 06-06-10, 02:28 AM

Should be an interesting final today guys. Let's just hope that the rain stays away long enough to get this match in. Going to ride my Nadal outrights through this match and hope that he wins. The best bet for this match is probably a set bet of 3 sets to 1 for Nadal. I can see Soderling get a set probably in the first two sets and then Rafa closes the door after that. Should be a great final.

Hope everyone has a great day today to cap the French Open. Has been a very profitable tournament so far.

**JNic** · 06-06-10, 07:24 AM

let's just pray the rain doesnt postpone till monday, thatd be awful...

**Stacocakes** · 06-06-10, 08:56 AM

Rafa up a break in the first set and is facing a bp

**Stacocakes** · 06-06-10, 09:00 AM

**Stacocakes** · 06-06-10, 11:23 AM

Nadal wins the french open

Wasn't really rocket science taking Nadal to win this tournament but a win is a win. Hopefully some of you guys got on Nadal either as an outright or just for the match today and finished up the week on a high note. It was good talking tennis with you guys the last two weeks. Wimbledon is going to be upon us in just a few weeks so we will all have another good oppurotunity to make some money.

**raydog** · 06-06-10, 11:12 PM
