Stacocakes French Open thread

Federer up 2 sets to 0. Figured this match would be pretty easy for him. Wanted to bet it but Federer was -600 something so I just figured I would ride out my outright.Not worth it at that price

Bartoli serving out the match.Wins in straight sets as a +180 dog I believe

Can't believe Troicki was serving for the match in the fifth set and choked away another chance to win the match. He didn't deserve to be in the quarterfinals anyways. Guy is not good at all.

The Soderling/Nadal match is going to be really good tomorrow. I'm a bit worried for my outright but I still think Rafa will win in the end. Hopefully the match isn't a five setter. Need Rafa fresh for the rest of the tournament

Hopefully you guys made some money today

[Stacocakes]

Federer wins nice. Can't wait for the DJO/Fed match.Feel an upset coming and the tennis headlines all over saying "he's back"

Na Li or Li Na...however you want to say it....+250 vs Azarenka.......is she injured or something? Why is her line so high?I am going to have to dig deeper with this but if anyone knows feel free to tell me in the meantime. Azarenka has tanked matches in the past, always loses at slams........... +250 looks mighty mighty juicey

Did you pick Fed-Nadal final in the contest? I did too. I knew pretty much that the major differences in the contest would be the semifinals and finals. Most would have Rafa-Djokovic and a lot would go with Djokovic. So I went Rafa-Fed and Rafa winning.

[Stacocakes]

My finals for the contest were different then my actual bets haha. My contest final I believe is Nadal/Djokovic with Nadal winning but my actual outrights are Nadal and Federer. Was much more value in taking Federer outrights then Djokovic.

[EaglesPhan36]

I looked back over the entries, one or two other Nadal vs. Federers. Almost universal Nadal vs. Djokovic. One guy had BENOIT PAIRE vs. Nadal.

[Stacocakes]

haha the guy who picked Benoit Paire must be Benoit Paire or someone in his family.Only way to explain that.

Djokovic beats Federer and he is number one in the world. Even if he loses in the final.

[EaglesPhan36]

I will be rooting for Federer. This is a moment I highlighted before the tournament. Djokovic is going for the all-time unbeaten mark & #1 spot. Federer stands no chance. I think Roger might relish this spot more than most any of his career outside of when he won the title @ RG. I really hope the match is as good as I am expecting. I don't think its a steamroll job at all or at least I hope not. I'd like to think it'll be classic one way or the other.

Im with ya. What else does he have to play for. Agassi did this several years ago to hewitt at Wimbledon. Over matched washed up hall of famer that musters up the magic in a big spot.

Play for Wednesday

Na Li +239

Wow what great odds here. Given Azarenka's past I am not really sure why this line is so high. She always seems to bow out as a big favorite in a slam and we all know about her past issues with "injuries". Na Li has a 3-1 career record vs Azarenka to boot. Definately worth a play at these odds.

Going to just watch the other matches tomorrow. Sharapova should win her match but I am not confident enough in it to put money on it. On the mens side I am just going to ride out the rafa future and hope he advances over Soderling. We all know that Rafa and Robin don't like eachother so this should be a great match.

Best of luck tomorrow guy's.Let's make some money

[EaglesPhan36]

Nice pick on Li homey. Once again she makes a QF and gets smoked.

[Stacocakes]

na li +239

Thanks Eagles. That price was way to good to pass up, especially with Azarenka's dodgy past.

Nice to see Rafa up a set and a break. Need to keep this up and finish him in three

Murray up a set and a break as well. Sharapova won easily over Petkovic. Things going pretty much as planned so far today

[beefcake]

Rooting for bartoli myself..Got her at +8000 here for SBR. points.If she wins I basically win 5 pizzas..

[EaglesPhan36]

Fukk ya! Pizzas for a month.

I'm thinking all dogs in both semis except for Murray. Based on what I have seen from Andy the past two matches, anyone with a skill set worth a shit will put him away aka Rafael Nadal. Thinking 2 of the 3 could hit between Federer, Bartoli & Li.

[Stacocakes]

Rafa wins

[Stacocakes]

Agree you guys. Not really feeling the Bartoli match but hope she hits for you Beefcake. Li over Sharapova at +183 does look good. Something to consider for sure. Agree that Rafa should beat Murray

[beefcake]

Extra cheese or bust...

[MUHerd37]

Great pick on Na Li Staco. Azarenka chokes again. Can't see her ever winning a major. I like Schiavone over Bartoli. Bitch is a bulldog and looks like one too. 2 ugly ass bitches in this match.

[MUHerd37]

Li was serving for the 1st set and Sharapova breaks her. If you don't put Sharapova away when you can, you gonna have some problems.

[MUHerd37]

Sharapova broken yet again to lose the set. Serving like she was on the hard courts earlier this year.

[MUHerd37]

Na Li wins on a Sharapova double fault. I think Na Li wins it all now. She is so damn consistent.

[beefcake]

Come on Fatty. I need a double pepperoni pizza!

[MUHerd37]

Fatty is done. Schiavone is just wearing her down.

[Stacocakes]

So pissed off to see Na li win this morning. Was going to ride the Na Li train till it ended but I didn't think her match was today for some reason. Oh well. Hope you guys made some money on her because I am sure her odds were pretty decent

Schiavone takes the first set over Bartoli. Still a long way to go but not looking good. Cheering for Bartoli for you beefcake haha

[Stacocakes]

Schiavone beats Bartoli. Sorry Beefcake. No pizza for you

If you do want some pizza, how about betting on Federer? Imagine how big of a story it would be if Federer ends Djokovic's streak? Here's hoping. Have a feeling Federer wins tomorrow but watch him go out there and lose in straight sets haha.

Matches are going to be really good tomorrow. Can't wait

[EaglesPhan36]

I think it will be interesting to see how the lack of match-play hurts or doesn't hurt Djokovic tomorrow. Propbably won't mean anything because the guy has been locked in all year, but tennis players are creatures of habit. You're used to playing every other day and then don't play for several days, could throw off his game early ... might make Federer to Win the 1st Set the best shot? Still thinking.

[beefcake]

I read an article yesterday where Novak actually admitted to have been thrown off a bit by all the time in between matches..I fed wins we can think Fabio Fognini..

[Stacocakes]

Looks like we could have some weather issues for the final. Supposed to be lots of rain on saturday and sunday by the looks of it. The weather should be fine for the semi final matches tomorrow though. Going to try to wake up for the nadal match. Will be hard since I am lazy haha. Best of luck tomorrow/today guys. Let's make some money

[isles71]

Does anyone really think Fed has any chance to take three sets? My god, this match will be interesting tmw.

[Stacocakes]

Good start for Rafa. early break

All of the pressure is going to be on Djokovic as a heavy fav.I think Federer has a decent chance to win.Whether or not he does....who knows. At +250 or whatever Federer is at though,it is definately worth a shot. Betting DJO as a -300 fav here is not a good play

[Stacocakes]

Nadal is extremely aggressive so far.He is pounding murray

[Stacocakes]

Rafa up 2 breaks in the first set

[MUHerd37]

If Murray quits, it better not be until after the 1st set is complete!!!

[Stacocakes]

Rafa already -2000 live

[Stacocakes]

MUherd you have rafa?

[Stacocakes]

MUherd you have rafa today?
