Its out of the question who wins, right? Shari, are you playing Nadal like 10x or more?

Yeah, I think so. I'm just looking at stats right now to see if I want to put money on the under. If I do, then I'll drop my ML bet and put some on that as well. I'm not going to bother trying to predict the correct sets - I got burned on that one yesterday with Serena and am leaving it alone in this one. Skill, experience and mental strength wise Nadal stomps Berdych in all areas but trying to figure out if he'll drop a set is something I'm going to stay away from.

Rafael Nadal -1½ -155 for Match Set Line Risking 4x

Nadal to win first set 7-5 +1200 Risking $5

**Tommy_de1st** · 07-04-10, 05:42 AM

Goat, did you play Nadal to win Wimbledon befor his match vs Murray?

I'm not touching a handicap in this one dan. Nadal can come out and smoke him easily but he can also drop a set or have a tiebreak or two which would screw the handicap up.

Okay thanks

Would love to hear how big your going on Nadal today, I want to pull the trigger put would be mutch more conf if I knew ur big on him too

I will be laying to win either 5x or 10x. Still just making up my mind. Either way, I have decided this will be my only play on this one. I want to cheer for him to win without having to worry about handicaps, the total or the number of sets.

**Tommy_de1st** · 07-04-10, 07:48 AM

To win $1000 you need to bet $3400

Quite big bet I suppose

**danller** · 07-04-10, 07:48 AM

Im laying to win 7x, so looking forward to the match! GL to ur plays

$3200 here actually, but yes. A decent size bet.

My play today

Nadal laying to win 5x

The odds are going up on him here so I'm going to wait until just before the match starts to make my play.

Best of luck everyone and thanks for keeping me company during Wimbledon!!

**Tommy_de1st** · 07-04-10, 08:00 AM

It's been pleasure

**Brian891** · 07-04-10, 08:02 AM

You can really see in this match so far how much Berdych relied on his first serve to get him through. Now that it's not working for him, he just can't keep up with Nadal. When Nadal has more aces than you, you know you're in trouble.

**Rainman12** · 07-04-10, 08:57 AM

good luck today with nadal guys. he is off to a nice start. hope he can cash your tickets

Yeah I loved this first set! Dont wanna jinx our bets, but its looking good

**Tommy_de1st** · 07-04-10, 09:01 AM

I almost hit the 1st set correct score 6-4 ... almost

**Mirar Baseball** · 07-04-10, 09:01 AM

did you press ahead with the under bet? I have U35.5 at +180

rafa needs to stay strong and not give the kid any ideas... let's hope this game is another mental scar to berdych

amazing work on breakpoints so far... if this ends 6-3 6-4 6-3 it still might go well over two hours!!!

as i'm typing this... rafa ... I nearly said GETS OUT OF THE FIRST INNING OF THE SECOND SET... but that's what it felt like!!!!!

I put $100 on the under just kind of for fun at the last minute. I didn't want to deal with worrying about the number of sets - this one can still go 4 and we can hit the under so I feel good about that.

**Mirar Baseball** · 07-04-10, 09:12 AM

well i have to deal with worrying about 3-0 too, by choice!

(not that this bet is any different from U35.5 now that even 7-6 7-6 to rafa stays under)

**Mirar Baseball** · 07-04-10, 09:47 AM

Berdych just played the best set of tennis he's probably ever played... and it was only good enough for 5 games vs rafa

**Tommy_de1st** · 07-04-10, 09:51 AM

If only he got this 4th game in the 1st set I would be dancing right now. Im only happy now

Picking a correct score is beyond difficult. Too much can happen. At least you'll cash on the ML!!

**Tommy_de1st** · 07-04-10, 10:43 AM

Hell yeah

Nadal 3-0

**shari91** · 07-04-10, 10:52 AM

Nice way to end the tournament!!!

Best of luck with the rest of your bets guys!

**Mirar Baseball** · 07-04-10, 02:31 PM

very well done... make a post if you bet any rugby/AFL would you?

**Goat Milk** · 07-04-10, 02:36 PM

should have unloaded even more.

**fixxer** · 07-04-10, 03:32 PM

Well done Nadal....I still can't understand how could Berdych beat Federer&Djokovic....

**Mirar Baseball** · 07-04-10, 03:46 PM

Imagine I had U8.5 for first set. Lost +400 bet by a cointoss!!!! (if nadal serves first and breaks twice it's 6-2, but since berdych had the honors it's 6-3!)

**fisel** · 07-04-10, 03:56 PM

Nadal shows Murray and Djoker hows it's done.

**Tommy_de1st** · 07-05-10, 04:02 AM

Small parlay just for fun:

Marc Gicquel
Olivier Rochus
Kaia Kanepi
Anna Chakvetadze
Nicolas Mahut (2morrow)

**shari91** · 07-05-10, 04:11 AM

My plays (all small)

Santonja +225

Rodionova 2-0 +110

Aman... 2-0 +125

Larsson 2-0 -105

Parlay Arn/Chakvedtadze +100

Will check out the men in a bit.

**G3ck0l0c0** · 07-05-10, 05:41 AM

Many thx Shari !
I just missed the Santonja's "well-going on" win.

**bobbyhazell** · 07-05-10, 05:58 AM

Great start Shari

I'm sorry you missed it but hopefully some of the other women come through for us as well.

Nice dog to start the day!! I thought I had missed something with this one because the odds seemed screwy to me but when I saw EP and Icer on her as well, I knew it was a good play. I love when we're all on the same side.

**shari91** · 07-05-10, 08:49 AM

Larsson and Aman both lost their first sets so those bets are gone.

Rodi's match is 5-4 on serve in the first.
