MUherd any opening round matches that you've bet on? Both Isner and Dolgopolov play tomorrow so I am just sitting here watching today

**Stacocakes** · 06-21-10, 10:38 AM

Cilic loses in straight sets. Exactly why I never ever bet the guy. Shows flashes of greatness and then he has matches like this. You cannot lose a first round match in a major if you want to get to the next level. Just sick of the guy.Glad he is gone. Blows up my SBR contest.Had him getting to the fourth round and losing to Roddick. With the Ljubicic upset as well Roddick's draw is opening up nicely for him. Looks like he might be able to breeze through to the semifinals

**Stacocakes** · 06-21-10, 10:40 AM

Davydenko, aka skeletor from heman, is in tough in the fifth set here

**MUHerd37** · 06-21-10, 10:41 AM

I had like 5 parlays going today. Some easy ones and some harder ones. I'm really pissed that I didn't see some of the matches like Kleybanova as I would have been all over that. I actually did some small write-ups in my bog. Not very in depth tho. 4 out of 5 parlays are still alive. Ljubicic was in 1 parlay wince he has been faltering lately. Cilic was also in that one. Feeling pretty good so far. I put Roddick, Henin, Clijsters, Venus, and 1 or 2 others in a parlay and went big. I also have some other smaller and riskier parlays. The Djokovic match is interesting to me. Rochus has beaten Djokovic 3 out of 4 matches.

**MUHerd37** · 06-21-10, 10:43 AM

Cilic sucks balls at Wimbledon. He only plays well on hard courts. I have been saying forever that he is a mental midget. He has no emotion whatsoever and is just mentally weak. He will never win anything important.

**Stacocakes** · 06-21-10, 10:45 AM

I was actually on Djokovic during one of those Rochus losses. Was a typical Djokovic win one set, lose the second, then struggle in the third and then probably pull it out in the third set but he lost the match. Kept on breaking Rochus in the third and then giving the break right back. Was making me think he was doing it on purpose.
Ljubicic and Cilic are both players that I avoid. Sucks that you had them in a parlay.At least it was only in one of them. Can't see your big parlay losing. Those big favs should in their opening rounds

What do you guys think of Isner and Dolgopolov tomorrow?I'm on both already.

**MUHerd37** · 06-21-10, 10:51 AM

Yeah it sucks that the parlay lost, but not that bad. It was in a risky parlay so I didn't bet much on it. Both of those guys are risky. Ljubicic is coming back to earth. I like the Isner and Dolgopolov plays. I will probably be on both of those as well.

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-21-10, 10:53 AM

I took Cilic at +800 to win that quarter, just a small play. Thought if he got out of the first round, he might be able to go deep. I knew the first round was the most likely to bite him though. I have Hewitt at +450 to win that quarter also. I don't think Djokovic is going to make it and Roddick was +175 with perhaps the toughest matches in the group to make it out. Llodra likely. Kohlschreiber and then Fish likely now with Cilic out. Also bad form for Roddick.

Not sure about Isner, but I do know a lot of people here including myself made a good amount of cash on Mahut in the other grass tourneys when the price was right. Skipping it though because I have no idea what Isner is going to do.

**beefcake** · 06-21-10, 10:53 AM

Everything is breaking my way on the Mardy fish future,cilic gone,lubi see yah,now by some miracle roddick gets knocked out adn the way Novak is aplying I can really have something!

**Stacocakes** · 06-21-10, 11:17 AM

Best of luck on the Fish future Beefcake.Sure that had a great price

That quarter would be the hardest to bet by far. Some very good players in that one. Probably will come down to Djokovic, Hewitt and Roddick. Roddick has the easiest path to get to that quarterfinal point. Djokovic/Hewitt should be a great match in the fourth round. Would probably side with DJokovic in a tight match there but we all know what Djokovic can do when he gets tired. If there is any quarter of the draw to bet you definately picked the right one Eagles. Wide open.

Mahut had a good grass court run coming in but he beat a bunch of nobody's.Still like Isner in that match though at a price any higher then it currently is I probably would pass on the match. I don't mind it as a small favorite though

This Davydenko match might go on forever

Ihan is trying to come back from 2 sets to 0 down against Daniel.It's in the fifth now.

Wawrinka trading sets with Istomin though the second set he lost 6-1 :|

**MUHerd37** · 06-21-10, 11:19 AM

I like Kevin Anderson's chances a lot over Davydenko. Davydenko can't handle the huge serve by Anderson.

**MUHerd37** · 06-21-10, 11:21 AM

Anyone think Berdych might go down today?

**MUHerd37** · 06-21-10, 11:25 AM

Davy wins!!!

**Stacocakes** · 06-21-10, 11:26 AM

amazing return by Davydenko on match point to win the match.

**Stacocakes** · 06-21-10, 11:27 AM

I don't think Berdych will go down. Maybe a year or two ago I might think that it is possible but he is a way better player now physically and mentally. With that being said, I wouldn't back him today at -900 or whatever he is.Not worth it at all

**Stacocakes** · 06-21-10, 03:03 PM

Well the first day is over and some upsets today. Ljubicic, Cilic, Wawrinka, Tipsarevic, Schiavone...

Of the WTA leans for today Groenefeld lost and Peer won so even if I had bet them I would have come up even so I guess it didn't matter that I didn't go through with them.

Call me crazy here but I think Bartoli can get to the quarterfinals and then from there who knows. Was thinking about it before the tournament but didn't pull the trigger on it. Schiavone was in her quarter so her getting knocked out in the first round helps out Bartoli. Will probably still lose to venus in the quarters but anything can happen.

**Stacocakes** · 06-21-10, 03:05 PM

unbelievable Djokovic is losing right now.I didn't even notice it. Down two sets to 1. Djokovic is currently -116 inplay. Surely he wins this match but I can't believe what is happening here. Will be great to have an outright go out in the first round haha

**Stacocakes** · 06-21-10, 03:10 PM

Delay right now to get the lights and roof set up so they can continue the djokovic match

I took the over. Rochus has always played him tough and actually leads the head-2-head 3-1. I expected Djokovic to struggle, but survive. I need 8 games in the 4th set to clear the over and 7 to push.

**Stacocakes** · 06-21-10, 03:13 PM

Nice Eagles.I think you will get that over. I think this goes five sets. I am actually taking Djokovic inplay right now at -110. I think this delay may hurt Rochus.Lets Djokovic rest up and focus

Added play:

Djokovic -110

**Stacocakes** · 06-21-10, 03:20 PM

BP Djo cmon

**Stacocakes** · 06-21-10, 03:22 PM

Rochus holds on geez

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-21-10, 03:25 PM

I wouldn't trust Djokovic at any point. His season has been marred by inconsistency and mostly because his serve blows.

**Stacocakes** · 06-21-10, 03:28 PM

2 bps CMON DJO

**Stacocakes** · 06-21-10, 03:29 PM

+235 for Rochus now.Huge break Djokovic

Think I will let my djokovic bet ride for a bit.Might hedge off at some point

**Stacocakes** · 06-21-10, 03:33 PM

2 bps Rochus. Why did I not hedge out for profit

**Stacocakes** · 06-21-10, 03:34 PM

Nice smash rochus into the bottom of the net

**Stacocakes** · 06-21-10, 03:36 PM

Nice hold. Ok that was all I had to see. Going to hedge out the -110 Djokovic with +255 Rochus

**Stacocakes** · 06-21-10, 03:41 PM

Djokovic teeing off on Rochus's serve

**Stacocakes** · 06-21-10, 04:14 PM

2 bps rochus.Unbelievable

**Stacocakes** · 06-21-10, 04:17 PM

Djokovic cannot keep playing with danger and saving these bps

**Stacocakes** · 06-21-10, 04:20 PM

Going to a fifth set. Would have to favor Djokovic to finish off this match but at the current line of around -300 it is a defiante no play. Already guaranteed some money hedging out Rochus earlier so just hoping Djokovic wins to preserve my outright

**Stacocakes** · 06-21-10, 04:36 PM

This match looks so much like the last Djokovic/Rochus match. It is unbelievable. Same kind of stuff was happening except the match was a best of 3 not 5. Hopefully the outcome won't be the same

**Stacocakes** · 06-21-10, 04:40 PM

haha Djokovic time violation

**Stacocakes** · 06-21-10, 04:44 PM

2 bps Djokovic
