Stacocakes Wimbledon Thread

**Stacocakes** · 07-02-10, 12:42 AM

Another day of no plays for me with the mens semifinals. I'm going to bet Nadal and Berdych to both win Wimbledon as a way to hedge my Djokovic and Murray futures as I mentioned a couple posts up. For the matches tomorrow I have a strong feeling that Nadal will win his match over Murray but I am really unsure about the Djokovic/Berdych match. Really a complete toss up to me. I figure at this point it's better to have all four possible outcomes bet for this tournament instead of taking my chances and letting the Djokovic and Murray outrights ride. Hope you guys win some money tomorrow. Seems like it has been a fairly successfull tournament betting wise for lots of the regular posters on SBR here and that is always great to see. Let the money continue to flow in. Best of luck tomorrow guys

I think Berdych is going to win. Too many of us at SBR seem to be on Djokovic today.

**aceking** · 07-02-10, 08:11 AM

Berdych has never beaten top 3 in back to back matches .

going to be 1 set each , Djokovic wins in 5 sets .

**EaglesPhan36** · 07-02-10, 08:27 AM

Djokovic is going to go out in straights. Why oh why did I take him. I knew better, but still did it.

**aceking** · 07-02-10, 08:31 AM

I take that back , Djokovic is a piece of shite .

Berdych wins in straight sets .

**EaglesPhan36** · 07-02-10, 08:36 AM

One chance right here gents. Tie break somehow. How will Djokobitch blow it?

Quickly ... mini break.

**Stacocakes** · 07-02-10, 09:13 AM

Geez can't see Djokovic coming back from 2 sets down here

**Stacocakes** · 07-02-10, 09:26 AM

break Berdych.This is done

**MUHerd37** · 07-02-10, 09:30 AM

Berdych won in straight sets. Thats damn impressive. He took out Federer in 4 and then Joker in 3. Nice stuff. I got him and Nadal in a parlay.

Lovely play Beef. Spot on.

Well good hedging Staco otherwise if was a total screwjob today. I got Nadal pending now for two units and Berdych I see at +243. Thinking I am going to just let Nadal ride. Not to say Berdych doesn't have a chance, but he's finally going to go up against someone playing at a high level who has a BRAIN. Will think on it this weekend, but right now I'm thinking of letting it ride on Rafa unless the Berdych price gets outlandish like +280 or better.

**Goat Milk** · 07-02-10, 12:40 PM

let it ride EP. Berdych is happy to just be in this position. He will be honored to lose to Rafa. With Fed out of the way, there is no doubt in my mind Rafa will be biting that trophy on Sunday.

**Stacocakes** · 07-02-10, 01:01 PM

Ya i'm glad I hedged out.Both futures went out today. Rafa is just too good right now. I would let the Nadal bet ride as well Eagles and if you have live betting just monitor the match and if Rafa ever gets in trouble you can hedge out. I can't see him losing to Berdych in the final though. First grand slam final for Berdych and Rafa is just on a different level mentally and will be better to handle the pressure of the match.

Nice call on the under Beefcake.Match went just as you had predicted. I personaly thought that the djokovic match would go at least four sets and maybe a fifth set but after Berdych went up 2-0 in sets you knew that Djokovic was already cashed out of the match. Nice hit on the under.

-575 for Serena over Zvonareva. Should be an easy win for Serena here. I really don't know how Zvonareva got here. I have picked her many times as an outright before and she has always dissapointed so very surprised to see her in the final here.I think Serena beats here in straight sets.Not worth the -575 price tag though.

Nadal -261 in the final. Would have been better for people to get him at a lower price as an outright before this final match. Price is a bit to high for him here but I still think he wins.

Might make a set bet for each final match. Not to sure though. Best of luck with your plays in the finals guys

**fisel** · 07-02-10, 01:21 PM

I'm not confident about Rafa. No doubt he's on another leven to Djoker but Berdych absolutely smashed him. No matter what point he's playing for it looks like he's felt no pressure at all. The over is the best bet for me.

**EaglesPhan36** · 07-02-10, 02:38 PM

Berdych didn't feel any pressure because none was ever applied. Closest was the tie break and he tightened up there, but Djokovic choked it away to him. Rafa won't afford him the luxury of not feeling pressure on Sunday, I believe.

**Stacocakes** · 07-03-10, 12:43 PM

Biggest fear became a reality with the women's finals being a complete disaster. Figured it would be a straight sets beatdown. Wasn't worth the price that she was for the match though.
I'm thinking Nadal wins tomorrow over Berdych. I have made it so I get more profit if Nadal wins so he will definately be the one I am cheering for.

**noober** · 07-03-10, 02:25 PM

Rafa will most likely win, but there is no value at 76% implied probability.

**MUHerd37** · 07-03-10, 11:34 PM

Hope Nadal cashes for all of us!

**EaglesPhan36** · 07-03-10, 11:36 PM

Just riding my Nadal future. Berdych didn't get high enough for me to consider. If I'm awake, might take Berdych if he loses the opening set and it's close for half of what I put down on Nadal at a big "live" price. Otherwise, just hoping Nadal rolls.

**Stacocakes** · 07-04-10, 11:10 AM

Nadal wins in straight sets. It's good to see that most were on Rafa. It was a good way to cap a profitable tournament. Seems that most of us dodged the major upsets in the last two weeks and thats the main thing you have to concern yourself with doing. Was great talking tennis with all you guys for another major championship and I look forward to doing it all again for the US Open.

**JNic** · 07-04-10, 11:15 AM

yea great way to end this tourny

now we got this funny tournament up next, defending champ rajeev ram

**smitch124** · 07-04-10, 11:39 AM

1 major closer to the Aussie open!!

**MUHerd37** · 07-04-10, 01:26 PM

Staco why do you always leave us after the majors? You never stick around and bet the other tourneys with us. Why is that?

**EaglesPhan36** · 07-04-10, 05:02 PM

I don't think he bets 250 tournaments. Lots of people don't like the smaller ones because they think too many weird things happen, which sometimes can be true. Motivation for players in these tournaments is sometimes difficult to figure. Staco from what I remember does come around for the Masters 1000s and maybe a few of the 500s sometimes.
