**shari91** · 08-21-10, 12:38 AM

Were you watching on some sort of delay? The match finished 3 1/2 hours ago.

**dizzy_7** · 08-21-10, 01:24 AM

HAAHAH, baggy can pull shit out when he wants to, just not consistent enough.

**dbnmln** · 08-21-10, 01:31 AM

must of been a lot of money lost on that match...

**Sunde91** · 08-21-10, 01:43 AM

If you bet Tennis, bet dogs, like always. Favs seem to lose at a rate nowhere close to the technical % they're supposed to win at.

I don't know anything about it, but once put 500 points on a random -450 fav (like wins 80%+ of the time) and he lost in straight sets..

Fuk Tennis.

That's more in woman tennis, faves lose left and right. Men's, majority of faves wins, especially grand slams.

But yeah, betting big favs in most sports usually leads to the poor house.

Most seasoned tennis bettors wouldn't have taken Nadal at that price in this match. Especially after his performance against Benneteau. They would've picked Baggy or stayed away from taking a side.

I'm sure there would've been people as there is always is though who just wanted action and dumped money on a 'sure thing'.

Nadal definitely is not winning us open

He just simply cannot beat good players on the hard courts

**saintjames** · 08-21-10, 07:18 AM

has any pitcher been such a big favorite?

Agreed.

**SRBI** · 08-21-10, 07:29 AM

Baghdaddy, guy looks like a terrorist. I thought he was from Iraq?

I watched the game live guy played a beautiful game though, I'm impressed

Nadal is still the king though, don't you silly kids forget that.

**Dank_Fire** · 08-21-10, 07:35 AM

Rafa is saving his stuff for the US Open

**SRBI** · 08-21-10, 07:44 AM

Rafa is not as good on the hard-court no matter what tourney it may be. He likes his clay and grass AFAIK.

**coloradobuff** · 08-21-10, 07:55 AM

not a shock

**Cheme82** · 08-21-10, 07:56 AM

His knees can't take the beating of the hard courts. He wants to win the U.S. Open bad though. He might be willing to sacrifice whatever is left of his knees in order to win that tourney even if he has to take a year off after that lol. Seriously though, I like the kid. I like to try to play like him but that reverse forehand is too weird, I don't want to **** up my wrist. I still chase everything down though :-)

**blackbeSSt** · 08-21-10, 08:11 AM

here's there thing with rafa and fed- no major=no care.

It was on ESPN2. I was out in the evening and watched it when I came home. Credit to ESPN2 they never said it was on tape delay else I would have looked for the score.

**portnoy65** · 08-21-10, 11:02 AM

Nadal , Murray, and Djokovic out. What a surprises

. Go Marty Fish!!!

**jon13009** · 08-21-10, 11:05 AM

Warm up tourneys provide lots of upsets. Hard to bet on them.

**secret007** · 08-21-10, 11:08 AM

yes, they treat this kind of cup like a friendly... not a major - friendlies for them

**Unicorn7** · 08-21-10, 11:12 AM

what a shame I loved bagdaddy but took davydenko istead dammit

**Matu_est** · 08-21-10, 12:37 PM

Nadal just made too much unforced errors 41 total bagda only 28 and that too much and bagda hit more winners then nadal 35 winners , nadal 28 so statistic sayes win went to better player.

2004+, pinnacle lines, -1000 to -333 won 3503/4233, yielding -0.6%. That's actually slightly better than their juice, so the lines are underrating these heavy favs.

it was a SUPER game....

Too bad Baggy couldnt do the deal in his game with the Fed....

..pity..

**Fthenorm** · 08-22-10, 12:29 AM

Nadal was not interested in going any further in this tournament...He needs rest far more than padding his master's series record by winning on a super fast court.

**sanchez985** · 08-23-10, 09:16 AM

I think he is just thinking us open

**CapNWatch** · 08-23-10, 09:23 AM

He is going to have to improve his form if he is going to be a threat at the US Open.

**ringemup** · 08-23-10, 09:27 AM

wut a run by fish he looks like hell do damage in the open as well

**szk1983** · 08-23-10, 09:28 AM

Bagdhatis vs. Nadal is a bad matchup for Nadal, as you can see.
