Andy Roddick:now we know why you've only won major...

**will2survive** · 08-21-10, 06:29 PM

I meant to say 1 major--he should've won at least 4 or 5--at least!!!

**Mirar Baseball** · 08-21-10, 09:35 PM

just don't bet against TennisBabe and you'll be okay

**Dr.Gonzo** · 08-21-10, 09:48 PM

TennisBabe's record is an over inflated joke.

She bet over 30 units on Nadal once.

Totally meaningless.

**Dr.Gonzo** · 08-21-10, 09:49 PM

As for Roddick he has always had a pea heart. He can someone managed to grasp defeat from the jaws of victory.

haha wtf tb has been dominating, why the trashing? just a dude posting shit on here for free

that was wimbledon final though, berdych was good enough to win that but nobody in their right minds thought he was mentally ready to take the slam from nadal there

**Dr.Gonzo** · 08-21-10, 11:01 PM

You can't consistently post .5 and 1 unit plays then suddenly bet 30 units and have you record mean something other than variance.

I would not have brought it up if not for Mirar's ball licking post in a thread other than Tennis Babe's.

**k13** · 08-22-10, 04:13 AM

That was great. Turned off the game after Roddick won the first set, thought I was on the wrong side with Fish then check my balance. I was like wtf happened... Roddick will never be a winner. He can't compete with the best of the best. Not getting any better.

**HeeeHAWWWW** · 08-22-10, 05:52 AM

Roddick clearly isn't fit, never seen anything like that from him.

Puts Djokovic's performance in perspective though....

**Tsonga** · 08-22-10, 07:18 AM

Roddick just had mono...and he has only played a few matches since then and wasn't even expecting to do well at cincy...you need to keep that in mind...its amazing what a loss does to people's memory...it erases all of his wins. he will probably have a good rest of the year and do some damage in the indoor season...that's my prediction.

and i don't think you will feel so annoyed about his performance if you didn't lose $ on him...

**Hybris** · 08-22-10, 07:27 AM

So much rage, chokes happens..

**necro** · 08-22-10, 07:47 AM

Shit happens, he lost, move one to next tourney

**StraitShooter** · 08-22-10, 08:15 AM

fish is playing spectacular tennis.He had a phase like this before once..He took down federer last time he was playing like this

**Boner_18** · 08-22-10, 08:27 AM

There is something to be said for the fact that he is great friends with Mardy and is looking for some rest before the Open.

**jjgold** · 08-22-10, 09:01 AM

Tennis Babe is a major fraud

It's like me going from 100 a game to 3000 a game

Unrealistic BS

Roddick has chocked his whole career.

He does not have strong will to win.

Didn't you do that a week or two ago in a thread? He doesn't post those plays all the time - he posts different units regularly and normally not that big. I'm not taking sides on this issue but don't be hypocritical when you just did the same thing yourself.

**ringemup** · 08-22-10, 09:46 AM

wut a comebak by fish its 1 to remember for sure

The people I feel sorry for are those who jumped on Roddick during the 2nd rain delay thinking they'd grab 'easy money' when he was up 5-2 in the 2nd. Exactly why I always say delays can be the work of the devil. A player can leave the court looking one way and come back looking like they've been possessed. For either good or bad.

**raydog** · 08-22-10, 09:57 AM

hes got a nice piece of ass to go home to and a fat bank account...its obvious at times that he cares more about those things right now

**k13** · 08-22-10, 10:35 AM

He's not "hungry" and probably never will be again.

**jjgold** · 08-22-10, 10:38 AM

Roddick was never hungry
Definately a shot he is a closet Bi too

He sure looks Bi

Why playahating? Not everyone can be equally good/lucky or have a mindboggling posted record. I tried keeping a record. It sucked.

I don't discriminate. I tailed you too. I would have thanked you, but unfortunately the Eels got knocked off. I'm sure you will get it back - and hopefully you'll post the winning picks too. And I'm sure if you posted half the winners TB does, you would get your share of 'ball licking'. Envious thoughts = ulcers.

Have a good day.

**smitch124** · 08-22-10, 11:01 AM

Common the guy is busy, tennis is just an avocation for Roddy...

You want to know what I think it is.It's cerebral.All of the times where he just came short have caught up with him at the ripe old age of 27.Now he's out of the elite.

I swear,I would take Fish over Roddick at this point--especially in the heart deaprtment--what a disgrace!

I like how uve wrote this as if he's going to actually read it!

This reminds me....A guy on a different forum actually emailed Mark Cuban. It happened after his Mavericks either lost or - for the 10th time in a row - failed to cover the spread at home. Funny thing is, Cuban replied. Something like 'you shouldn't gamble' - we had a good laugh of it.

What would Roddick say if he chose to reply this thread?...

I also tipped a +160 dog winner with the Raiders in the same post.

you apparently don't wager tennis then, because majors are only 4 times a year. obviously bets are going to be A LOT bigger during the majors than they are in these petty tournaments. get your facts right. I've bet tennis for years and my bets during the majors are always substantially bigger.

EDIT- By the Way Dr. Gonzo, if TennisBabe wanted to lie about his wagers, why would he post .5x and 1x wagers? Why not just make them 2x and 5x if he wanted to lie?

There is lots of value to be found in smaller tournaments, not to mention frequent upsets of overpriced higher ranked players that aren't as motivated. My bet size always has to do with how confident I am in the play, not whether it's a major or not.

Of course you can find value here and there. But guys motivations during non majors are questionable. There are a good amount of fixed matches as well. My bets are bigger during the majors for these reasons.

I've bet a fair amount of tennis in my days son. I guess I have a lot to learn though. Please give me a rational explanation as to how one can bet 60 times bigger without scalping? I can't work this one out

If you can justify betting 30 per cent of your bankroll I'm all ears.

When did I say he has lied about his wagers? I said his record is not a fair description of his ability. If you are going to make Godzilla sized plays like that than they should be recorded separately.

As for match fixing. If you bet enough games it evens itself out like any other variable. If you really are sharp you should be able to predict when players may not give one hundred per cent and incorporate it into your model.
