Shari's tennis plays

[Mikail]

Honey, I didn't check on here until I posted as i was driving to a friend's house to watch the rest of the match. 3 people were on Fed and 2 on Djok but we all jumped off and are cheering Djoko on. I made a mistake today but at least it was a small one financially and i promise you'll never see me bet on Fed again. He's turned into a pusher like Woz and that's just sad. I don't care who he's playing.

I am also shocked at his performance here. Also Woz had her match all but sown up and couldn't close. I have had a good run this tourney. Thought it would be Li Na who would screw me but behold it's the #2 in the world The great Roger Federer. Congrats to those who took Djoko.

I need a definition of 'pusher'

thanks

3 games in you should still of been able to get good odds on Joker, well in the +?

Even after the first set my live odds were close to PK

Unfortunately I just all but emptied my 5dimes account after a huge winning week. Only have less than a hundred dollars so I didn't bother. Besides I only lost a points bet here. In any case this serves as a reminder that we should use our live bet when possible.

Think it is just someone who returns balls and keeps rallies alive, more or less waiting for the other player to make the error???

after about 40 minutes of play I made this bet....100/138 Djokovic ML (at 5-4* first set)

after winning the tiebreak, he was -125ish compared to +138 I got

Tough break, i dont think the odds changed much from opening that early into the game

Novak was still paying very generous money well into the second set

He was. I was watching the lines on Bet365 as I was watching the match. He was still at + even.

If that's the case, I've just seen 'the old Roger' at 3-4* at 0-15*. Roger attacked. Looked for his shot and advanced as soon as he could. Probably a sign of desperation for 'Roger the Pusher', trying to keep the rallies short... as if he were playing Nadal

Guess he has nothing to lose now by freeing the arms and having a crack

Yes. The way things have been going for the past two hours, that ^^^ is his best chance to reach the 03983th grand slam final and get back shari's affection

[davus4]

I have a keen sense about tennis players when watching live. I understand where your coming from but based on Federer's attittude and demeanor as compared to Djokovic I new Djoko would win. I tried to live bet Djoko but when I finally got connected the odds was horrible. I lost about 240 pts on Fed. Kind of pissed myself.

heh. sorry for tonight's loss. hope you actually got some rest though i doubt it.

yeah, that was a good read of yours. i actually tried to talk myself into taking +160 Djo twice earlier and -400 Djo once later but just couldn't do it. and then +250 or +300 Fed... couldn't pull the trigger. *sigh* guess i just decided to cut my losses and not make decisions while anxious&sleepy. i actually had the over 3.5 (aghhhh... Fed, why couldn't you just win 1 set!!??) and only a tiny bit on federer. but djokovic's performance really screwed up my parl w/ Li & Clijsters. darrrrrrrnnn...

[blackbeSSt]

ugh. fell asleep before i put in my play for djoker last night and a future to win it. now he's -156 to win it

[bennyt]

Once again screw you channel 7 Queensland for your delayed night matches

and WA. Hope channel 7 loses the rights when its up in 2014 i think

[brettels]

and WA. Hope channel 7 loses the rights when its up in 2014 i think

i am hoping so, i once upon a time loved 7's cover of sport. down hill they are going. 2014 is a long wait

it seems there main focus is the soapies. without packed to the rafters they almost have nothing left.

Dear Li, Na


I admire your talent and your tenacity, the ability to come back from being 1 set down and facing match point was exhilarating! I will forever remember this day, because on this day, you won me alot of money with your fighting spirit. I have bet you all tourney, on all your games and My account is looking quite healthy. Also I booked me some futures, where nobody gave you a hope in the world, I certainly did and when I saw the price you were at, I was completely shocked and excited! I quickly bet $100 on you at the odds of $41!

My dear, I hope and pray you win this tournament!
I know how much it would mean to you and your home country and I'm actually excited for you as this is a breakthrough moment, Imagine the endorsements if you win this tourney!

All the best for Saturday, I hope you play with the same enthusiasm you've been playing all year!



Love you always, your No 1 fan.

Kingsr

[EaglesPhan36]

Anyone else noticed that every match that's supposed to have been "the match of the tournament" according to the analysts has wound up very one sided? Last night, Fed-Djokovic was supposed to be a 5 set classic. Djokovic-Berdych was billed as a big time match too. Fed-Wawrinka was going to be Wawrinka maybe taking Fed out. Lots of hype, very little punch. I think the men's final is going to be competitive at least - not sure about "godd" - hoping Murray wins tonight because I think both he and Djokovic deserve to get one Slam.

She a big chance.... but still a huge underdog to get past clijsters. you going to hedge out to take at least a G?

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

Whats the play for the women's final? Heard the underdog has a good shot at upsetting Clijsters.

I admire your courage too, Kingsr. I booked her future when I think it was like, her 2nd game in Sydney. The odd was even higher than yours but I was being a coward so the stack was much smaller than yours. I hope she wins and brings you money.
I like Li a lot, she's a very interesting person. I follow her report a lot. I think she's improved a lot mentally, become a fighter.
But I'll be a coward one more time, and be realistic. I've jumped off her train and hedged my bet. I think Clijsters' Grand Slam Final experience will be fatal. Also she's a more complete, and smarter player than Li. The Sydney final will not count that much.
But who know? Anything can happen. Maybe their last meeting brings Li lots confidence? If Clijsters wins, brings me a little money. If Li wins, I will be very happy for her.
Deep down, I hope Li wins. It means a lot to her.

[Bbr]

No more love for Li Na on my end. Kim takes this for sure. History and experience heavily supporting kim's corner. First chinese player to be in a grand slam. Thats alot of pressure. When it comes down to those gritty and important points where composure will be critical, Li Na will slip. Playing a grand slam final is nothing like playing a first round match, many must agree! I aint trippin and my moneys on Kim to wrap it up. First set will be tight then its sayonara Li na.
Adding further, apparently it's chinese new year soonish? correct me if I am wrong; apparently this date is quite important to the asian culture. More that Li Na has to worry about. so much pressure on her little shoulders. Overall she is a lovely player, great fighter but kim's class will definitely show.

[kingsr]

Gee and Labrador, Yes for sure I am going to hedge! I have no choice, this is a GrandSlam and anything can happen (as we saw with Federer/Nadal).

I hope she takes it out, I believe she deserves it

[brettels]

sexiest day of tennis i have seen. doubles final right now.

[brettels]

Im on early for clijsters to beat the cap -4.5 against na li in the final. Li na started way too slow against wozni and that wont work this time against kim. Kim also should hold her nerve better and the extra incentive of revenge always pushes a player to there best. thats my opinion.

[Mirar Baseball]

Pretty sure Murray wins this in three. Might bet that, and definitely betting against the tiebreak at even money. Hard court H2H: 5-0 to Murray, 12-0 sets to Murray, and guess how manytiebreaks.

How funny - my only bet on this match is NO tiebreak too. +100

[davus4]

AGHH.. wish i saw this post half an hour ago. most of everything os off the board.

also, having the most frustrating time trying to make a play for Clijsters or Li...
Li definitely has the potential to win a set right? so maybe it's safe to go Na Li +1.5 sets -120??

which should cover her making an upset, or just winning a set.. but in my mind there is Kim and she isn't gonna NOT win a set either... so i am trying to decide between that and Over 2.5 +175 <---which i think is pretty good value. because i can see both of these women winning a set. (but then it doesn't cover the Li upset.)

what to do???

[Mirar Baseball]

I apologize. I screwed this up, and subsequently bought out of this wager.

The stats above (5-0 in matches, 12-0 in sets) are Djokovic vs Ferrer on hard. I was doing research on possible final matchups and got carried away.

Now... I'm actually pulling for David. The reason is that the current future prices suggest he will be about a +350 underdog vs Djokovic. And I might well put half of my betting money on Djok at -400 then. Numbers don't lie. Essentially I would be betting at -400 against the chance that Novak pulls a hamstring or that his contacts screw up his vision bad enough for him to not see the ball. 12-0 sets on hard... that's something else. Plus you all saw what he did to the previously incredible Federer last night.

[brettels]

just hack that you were wrong

this is the last time a pay any dues to your erroneous tips mirrar baseball...

[shari91]

Murray.

Tiebreak bet gone. Thank goodess for live betting and these clowns not managing to hold serve. Crappy semi to watch though - almost like women's tennis.

[ApricotSinner32]

Crappy match? Really? This is a much better match than the federer/joker match come on shari get your head outta your ass. They haven't played a tie break in 12 matches and you think the bookies put the line at +100 for no reason? Shari you fall right in to the traps you sucker

Patty, I've made 6 times from live betting deuces and players to get broken what I spent on the tiebreak bet. I find this a crappy match. Shitty serving and too many UEs. Sorry if you don't agree. It's called having an opinion.

If you're going to come in to try to start immature shit and laugh at my bets please go elsewhere. Plenty of other threads on here and there are awesome people in my thread that don't partake in your nonsense. Thanks.

[ApricotSinner32]

Shari this is a competitive match last nights match was no where near competitive i'm sorry I don't kiss your ass like everyone else here i'm sure you're not used to someone telling you you're a nutter as you would say.
