$300 on Simon to beat Isner (+100 Odds)

[yisman]

Everyone knows US tennis is down but it doesn't mean all the US players will lose.

Want to bet me? I say at least one American male wins their next match (either Roddick, Young, or Isner).

100 points says neither of them make it through.

[yisman]

There's three of them, and I will bet you 20 points.

Since you are a non-pro, you can only send 2 a day, which is why I limit it to that.

[jdrb]

Alright deal. The only one that has a chance is Isner. Ferrer's return gane will be too much for roddick, young has no chance of taking three from Murray.

Roddick has a chance. His serve will have to be at an "A" level though for the match, but Ferrer is not unbeatable. As good as Ferrer is as a defender, his serve is not immune to being a liability on occasion. If Ferrer works Roddick's backhand though, I think he'll force him into enough errors to win.

1 out of 3 though, very do-able and I think likely that one wins and two would not be shocking.

[yisman]

yes agreed

Man you are my hero. About time some people starting to show support for USA at the US open.

[EaglesPhan36]

Time for someone to eat some crow. Americans win!

[yisman]

lol well you sure proved me wrong.

[yisman]

pay the line

Yiser, -4010 on Nadal??? Nutter.

Sorry to see you lose this one Goatie. I posted in another thread about how I liked Simon until the line moved in his favour 30+ cents and I saw so many people various places backing him. One of those factors is usually bad enough for me but both tends to spell certain doom so I stayed away. Nice to see some Yanks get through though. Makes it more exciting to have homeboys go far in tournaments.

[yisman]

heh, I was supposed to bet Nadal at -500 or so in play but I guess I forgot.

Are you Barry Greenstein? You know, the millionaire poker player who matches 100% of his gambling losses by charity donations.

Amazing. Simply amazing. What's your loss streak at?
