Semifinal Saturday Matches
Match 1: Cross v. Eaglesphan36

Format
There are four matches in all on Saturday, two ATP & two WTA. Moneylines, Handicaps & Totals will be listed for each match. Each participant must pick ONE moneyline, ONE handicap & ONE total for the ATP matches & WTA matches. Out of those six total picks, ONE must be designated as your "best bet" with BB. That will again count for double the risk. Entry deadline will be posted along with lines whenever the lines are all completely up. Hopefully in an hour or two. The winner of each match-up will meet on Sunday for the Final of the competition. Prize payout is 70 SBR points. 50 again to the winner. 20 to the runner-up.

Didnt even know I was in the semis till now..Busy as hell last night and just woke up..Good luck Yisman!! You get the walkover due to sleeping in!!

[Cross]

we really killed those women's matches, didn't we eagles?

[EaglesPhan36]

Yep. I'm gonna be 0-4. Cannot believe Federer won't cover 5 after getting +2 in the 1st set. Thought I could at least get a push.

FORMAT
For Sunday, each participant must choose a total of four picks from the combination of moneylines, handicaps & totals listed for the ATP & WTA matches. Two of the four picks must be designated BB for "best bets" and will assume double the risk. The four picks can be any combination from ATP-WTA, but must include at least one pick from each match. Tie break #1 will be most best bet units won. Tie break #2 if needed will be the player who wins the biggest plus money line on one of their picks. If that does not settle it, the 70 point prize pot will be split equally between the two players.

Will update Nadal-Djokovic handicap/total when available via 5Dimes.

[Cross]

I'm just glad I didn't put any real money on those picks today, well played Eagles! Still can't believe Belucci had a set and a break on Djoko, but I am excited to watch the singles final tomorrow! Anyone wanna place a side bet with me on the match tomorrow with some SBR points? My money is on Nadal.

[EaglesPhan36]

Got the handicaps & totals on Nadal-Djokovic from Pinnacle. Will wait for the prices to come out on 5Dimes to stay consistent, but wanted to be able to show what they would be in case picks need to be made early.

[reformed]

you think joker gets his 1st loss finally? federer took a set off nadal today while playing average tennis/

[EaglesPhan36]

I think you can forgive Rafa for dropping the 1st set. He was obviously very emotional to start the match because they had the moment of silence for Seve Ballesteros. Did not see it, but he reportedly teared up during this time. Think it took him a set to get his head straight. After that, he won easily. I think Rafa wins tomorrow.

[Cross]

I'll give 15 SBR points if Djoko wins, but you give me 10 if Nadal wins. Any takers? Reformed?

[yisman]

guess it turned out ok

I was actually wondering yesterday what the ruling would've been if one person missed and the other finished in the negative

Cross, that doesn't seem like fair odds to me.

As for my picks, I can wait until later. It's only Fridays when I'm in a rush. thanks EP

[Cross]

yisman, what's not fair, Djokovic hasn't lost a match all year to anyone. I can't give any better odds than that.

[yisman]

And Nadal is roughly unbeatable on clay.

Djokovic is second best in the world on clay, probably, but it's a pretty large gap between 1 and 2.

Djokovic hasn't lost a match yet this year because the vast majority of his matches have come on hard courts. Clay season is barely underway.

congrats EP!

I did well on each day until today. Tried to pick what was best available, but had to pick 2/3 of lines and picked the wrong ones.

unless I can change my ATP pick to Djokovic?
