I do not understand the trust on Hewitt side

I have watched Hewitt leading up to this tournament, I feel he will do suprisingly well today

I'm adding one more play, I didn't see this earlier this but I really like it.

Radek Stepanek -7 $50

Beer money...

My case of crown lager is almost secured...

Bigglefairy · 01-18-11, 01:59 AM

Oh man I love this play tomorrow.. Federer -7.5!!! Simon will be way to fatigued to keep up. I expected a line of at least -9.5.

Bigglefairy · 01-18-11, 02:03 AM

Lets lock it in now.

Australian Open Day 3

Roger Federer -7.5 $150

Bigglefairy · 01-18-11, 02:06 AM

Seriously, Federer is in the best form of his life. Yes Simon is in good form but he's played too many games in the past week. A walk in the park for Federer here. Get in early guys, this line won't last forever.

Bigglefairy · 01-18-11, 02:07 AM

Soderling is on fire!!!

Mr.Kitty · 01-18-11, 12:49 PM

Love what you´re doing here, keep up the good work. Now a question, my book offer Federer -8.5, would you still take that or is Under 30.5 games a better choice?
Lets say Federer wins in three sets, to cover -7.5 he must win something like 6-4, 6-3, 6-3 then the under would also hit.

It might pay to wait as I can see at my book more money has come in on Simon, Federer was paying $1.87 against the spread and is now paying $1.95. I personally feel Federer will win in straight sets, hence the under is still a good bet but there is the possibility he might be broken and then make a strong comeback which would result in four sets and the over. I would still lean the under though but wait for a better line if possible

Well that was a waste of money.

Next up, the Fed Express...

Mr.Kitty · 01-19-11, 09:59 AM

Dang! Fed-ex was lookin good for two sets, bitter loss especially on such a big play. I couldent get -7.5 so I took U30.5 for a smaller play. Still, losing stinks, good luck today

erkanua · 01-19-11, 10:51 AM

After 5 consecutive and dominant winning sets in the tournement, Fedex suddenly lost his game and dropped 2 awful sets. I am completely upset about that performance..

Bigglefairy · 01-19-11, 07:46 PM

Yeh i'm so annoyed about Federer's "mental breakdown". Ohwell, thats the game.

All good, they paid

It happened a few days ago aswell. Too many matches to keep up with lol

nathan.thomasson · 01-21-11, 12:03 AM

Good to see you're keeping up the winnings Bigglefairy.

The best mistake that my book has made is still having a soccer game up when it was already halftime. I made a bet on the haltime correct score and they paid out. An very easy win with nice odds.
