Stacocakes Wimbledon Thread

[Stacocakes]

Azarenka loses today as a -350 favorite or so. Was wondering when she would bow out.Surprised she got this far. Love how she lost the second set 6-0 today.....

Nadal having some problems again....an upset here would really open up the way for Murray to get to the finals.Would be great

Sharapova is winning which is good. Like watching her on tv haha

Mathieu about to serve out the match over De Bakker

[Stacocakes]

can't believe Nadal may be down 2 sets to 1 here

[MUHerd37]

Nadal lost the 3rd set. He loses today. He flat out can't handle Petzschner. Pet just hits the ball too hard for Nadal to handle. Pet's serve is great.

[Stacocakes]

Grabbed some Nadal -120 down 2 sets to 1 here. Hoping he can come back.It's a good price.I think he does

[Stacocakes]

Nadal inplay has been bet up from -118 to -147 at the end of the third set.Lots of people piling on. WIsh I had got the -118 instead. Thats a big move before the first point is even played

[michalis]

who had the injury break? nadal or petz?

[Stacocakes]

Here's hoping.I've got to take off for a bit here so I am going to keep track of this match on my phone haha. Here's hoping for a Rafa comeback

[JNic]

i think he will pull this out too, no way petz can keep up that serving consistency

[Stacocakes]

Nadal had the trainer out Michalis

[JNic]

nadal had the injury break, his left arm was hurting

[michalis]

I think its a good bet, nadal either wins this or withdraws

petz seems tired so he will lose a competitive match

nadal now has a break for his knee!

[MUHerd37]

Nadal breaks!!!

[MUHerd37]

Nadal breaks again to win the 4th set 6-2!

[smitch124]

I like Nadal 90-88 in the 5th

[Marty Funkhouser]

Nadal's complaining about getting a warning for taking too much time between points and generally just acting like a bitch. Pick your ass and serve, you dope.

[MUHerd37]

Nadal breaks in the 5th. Serving for the match!

[MUHerd37]

Nadal wins!

[JNic]

nadal never really in much trouble in the last 2 sets, good win. everyone wants to see nadal/soda

querrey finally breaks in the 2nd, would love to see him face off with murray

[Stacocakes]

Nadal cashes

Had to bet him today down 2 sets to 1 because I missed out on his last match when he was down against Haase and I was to chicken to bet Rafa then and I was regretting it so had to pull the trigger here. Not a surprise that Petz couldn't keep up his level for all five sets. Congrats to all Rafa backers

[JNic]

haha anybody notice davenport is playing mixed doubles with bob bryan, they 5-5 in 3rd set vs nestor/mattek sands

[Stacocakes]

Hope Davenport comes back on tour so I can fade her. She has cost me lots of money in the past.I hope she doesn't come back.
State of women's tennis is so poor though that she could come back and do very well

[JNic]

i heard shes just coming back to play doubles in american events and wimbledon with hingis

[Stacocakes]

Nice to see Hingis back from her cocaine ways

Just looking over the lines quickly now, Berdych is beatable here. +554 dog for Brands might be a play against Berdych. In the end it will probably lose but it is worth the chance

Djokovic/Hewitt....Hewitt is in great form. Gotta go with Djokovic here especially at that line. Going to think about that one though.Everyone is going to be on Hewitt I just know it.

Soderling has been playing great tennis but Ferrer has some great odds of +662.

Some big dogs today and its just a matter of is it worth taking the chance on them. Chances are both of the big dogs wouldn't hit but you never really know.Going to think about these plays some more and have something official later

Henin/Clijsters should be a good match. Going to have to give that one to Henin because she is more match fit at this point.Clijsters still coming back from her injury

SHarapova +312 over Venus...another juicy dog there.

Going to think about these matches for a couple hours.

[beefcake]

The dogs are due staco...Watch out!

Liking the roddick/Lu over at 35.

[Stacocakes]

no play tomorrow I don't think.The usual sunday off in the first week at wimbledon.

[MBlack24]

Yep I think Henin will do well on monday.

[Stacocakes]

A couple plays for tomorrow guys. Was looking through the odds and they are pretty much dead on for most matches tomorrow. Many of the matches like the Djokovic match and the Jankovic match are basically coin flips and you can take a chance trying to pick the winner but it's anyone's guess who wins those matches. Going to make things a bit more interesting and do some set betting for tomorrow.

Henin to win 2-1 +322

Clijsters won the last two meetings against Henin but Henin is the more fit player at this point with Kim having come back just recently from an injury. The career head to head is 12-10 for Clijsters so you figure Henin is due here. Worth a shot at these odds


Nadal to win 3-1 +277

Nadal is career 9-0 against Mathieu. I know there are some possible injury concerns here with Nadal but I still see him winning this match. I think Mathieu is definately capable of taking one set off Nadal since Rafa has gone to five sets in his last two matches so he isn't exactly in the best form. Can see Mathieu winning the first or second set here and then Rafa cruising the rest of the way. Looks good to me


Best of luck tomorrow guys

[Iwinwithsports]

thanks, what is your record so far??

[Stacocakes]

Believe I have won every play in Wimbledon except for the Verdasco outright so far.The plays are in bold throughout the thread

On a side note, sad to see Capriati having more problems again.I was in love with her back in the day when I was growing up.

[Goat Milk]

Federer got pushed to 5 sets his first two matches before he disposed of Clemente in straight sets.

[Stacocakes]

That is true Goat Milk.Guess we will see how it turns out.At those odds its worth a shot

Not really sure why everyone loves Hewitt. I would be Djokovic here but I already have him as an outright so I figure it would be very bad if he lost here and I lost an outright and a match bet on him.I'll just pass on the match. People are saying that Hewitt is very determined to win here and showing great form but in the end Djokovic is the better player. The career head to head is 3-1 Djokovic but those numbers can be misleading. That was back at a time when Djokovic was playing great and Hewitt was on a downward slide in his career. Probably best to stay away from this match all together.

Another thing to mention is that Jankovic got some heavy taping on her leg during her last match. Not really sure if that is something that is serious or something that she can play around but needless to say it is enough to keep me away from betting on her match.

Best of luck tomorrow guys

[birdmanweezy]

good luck cakers...henin..janko...djokvic ml for me

[Goat Milk]

yeah nice odds on the 3-1. worth a shot i guess.

[EaglesPhan36]

Nice note on Jankovic. She retired mid-match today.

[JNic]

after watching this serena match and the li na match, if li na has like a +4 handicap it will be free money
