Match coming up in the tie break for Isner. He gets this, we got life.

**goblue24** · 01-19-12, 11:59 PM

Let's go Isner!

**EaglesPhan36** · 01-20-12, 12:03 AM

Super tie breaks for Mugs & The Big Tie Break himself! Isner hit some great passing shots in that tie break.

**Reener77** · 01-20-12, 12:03 AM

Helluva tiebreak Isner! Let's keep the momentum going you fukko!!

**EaglesPhan36** · 01-20-12, 12:03 AM

That Falla total is toast. He has nothing today.

**EaglesPhan36** · 01-20-12, 12:06 AM

Parlay was an easy casher BTB. One of the few things that is easy.

**southpaw74** · 01-20-12, 12:11 AM

Any consensus on The tomic match in a few hours? Does he pull it off or get upset?

**EaglesPhan36** · 01-20-12, 12:18 AM

Isner still not able to get it together. Broken again. I'm playing the under in the Dolgopolov-Tomic match now at 40. Side is just too tough to figure out. Shari's read earlier, Tomic has lots of trouble with Dolgo's game ... but who the F is confident that Dolgo can hold up at this stage? I just think there will be some lopsided sets and if it goes less than five, the under should hit.

**southpaw74** · 01-20-12, 12:34 AM

Thanks EP

**EaglesPhan36** · 01-20-12, 12:42 AM

Mugro looking good to go up 2-0. Not counting shit on that yet because he's blown some 2-0 leads in Slams before.

Isner down 2-1.

**goblue24** · 01-20-12, 12:43 AM

There is talk that Wawrinka might retire from the match

**Reener77** · 01-20-12, 12:44 AM

Lopez is trying to give Isner this game with 4 double faults! Come on Isner you fukko!

**EaglesPhan36** · 01-20-12, 12:59 AM

Adding ...

Tomic-Dolgopolov Under 40 [-115]
Dolgo has owned this brief series and Tomic's camp has already pretty much admitted that Dolgo's game gives Tomic trouble. Even if that isn't the case, there have been a lot of lopsided sets played with Dolgpolov traditionally. Would also be EXTREMELY rare to see someone play three straight five set matches [Dolgopolov] - so my gut says this one is over before this number hits.

**EaglesPhan36** · 01-20-12, 01:13 AM

Mugs will make this shit interesting I guarantee that. I'd almost bet every cent I have that this one goes 5.

**Tsonga** · 01-20-12, 01:22 AM

i see your logic for tomic/dolgo....we are on opposite sides for isner/lopez...i've got lopez here.

**goblue24** · 01-20-12, 01:32 AM

Wow, what a tie break there. Can he do it in 5 again?

**Boxing Champ** · 01-20-12, 01:34 AM

Out of 10 NHL games...8 went Under...2 pushed...
If you would have had a $100.... 10 team parlay...all Unders..you would get paid.

**EaglesPhan36** · 01-20-12, 01:38 AM

Almagro in straights. **** yeah.

**Boxing Champ** · 01-20-12, 01:58 AM

Isner is finished...

**Reener77** · 01-20-12, 02:01 AM

Yep. Isner's done.

**illAdelph** · 01-20-12, 02:01 AM

Whats up guys. I know this isn't the right place to be asking this, but im not sure where the right place is and u guys seem cool ..

Im new to the world of tennis betting. Have always focused on NBA/ NHL.. but im a bit intrigued with how it works and would like to become more knowledgeable about it..

Briefly, could you just explain how the different wager options work..

Obviously ..
A -115
B +130

You bet A or B to win the match straight up.

But how does the over under work?

What are total points?

Any help would be appreciated.

**DR225** · 01-20-12, 02:04 AM

I know this is a strange question, but how good are you guys at identifying when balls are out, or when there's faults? It may be my eyes or my tv, but during this isner match there's been like 10 times where I could've sworn balls were in/out or were faults instead of aces.

and bad beat with Isner, the guy has heart and battled back a couple times.

A = betting $115 to win $100.
B = betting $100 to win $130.

The $100 in this example is arbitrary.

over/under are on the total games. like in this isner match, he won 3 games in the first set + 7 games in the second, ect, add all those up and with the other guys games and you have unders/overs.

say the total for the isner lopez match was 35. count up all the games in the match and you get 52 games, so if you bet over, you would've won.

if you see Isner -6, that means he has to win by more than 6 games.

spread tennis bets are different than moneyline bets because they focus on games instead of sets.

The Over/Under is for the total games played per match. The "games" are the numbers you see for each "set." A player needs to get to 6 games to win the set. Men's matches are best of 5 and Women's are best of 3. You need to win a set by 2 games or in a tiebreak which is why you will see 7-6 from time to time (that set would have gone to a tie break).

Another betting option is the handicap which is like a point spread where one player will need to win by a certain number of games.

Hope this helps and welcome to the tennis world. It can be fun and frustrating to bet on this sport, haha. I've learned that the past few days for sure.

I have bloody acute eyes (maybe a chick thing) and I still get them wrong at times. Hawkeye is reviewed by people before it's displayed...for it to be wrong would be a shocker although it has happened

**shari91** · 01-20-12, 02:15 AM

And EP, I like that total bet on Tomic/Dolgo for the very reasons I like betting over 3.5. Dolgo is the main culprit of bagels, whether giving or receiving... 5 sets is a lot to cover for 2 guys who aren't really conditioned well enough to push it that far again tonight. And if they do, there's no way they don't throw a stinker in there.

Thanks man I appreciate it. It definitely seems interesting and challenging and im looking for a secondary sport to get in to.

Gonna tail the previously posted play Dolpogolav/tomic under 40 for a half unit.. ill see what I can learn from it.

Again, I appreciate the input from everyone and wish you all a profitable year.

**southpaw74** · 01-20-12, 02:30 AM

So would you say the value play is more with dolgo or tomic? I only have the moneyline option right now. I'm going back to 5dimes soon but still at bet islands as of now.

**hawley** · 01-20-12, 02:34 AM

Nice hit on Amalgro

I put $100 on Dolgo, $200 on the under. I may get smucked by both but I don't think so. Tomic's biggest weapon is his magician shot placement and changing up the rhythm. Dolgo also does both of those and is better at it. I'm not sure what will happen here... maybe it'll be an epic 5 setter, 3 tb's etc, but I can't see how. One is going to school the other...*I THINK*. Just a matter of guessing who it will be

**southpaw74** · 01-20-12, 02:46 AM

Thanks for the input and good luck! I just won Hawaii game so I'll through 50 on dolgo as a dog.

**boondoggle** · 01-20-12, 03:40 AM

I just love watching Dolgo. He is like a tennis wizard!

**EaglesPhan36** · 01-20-12, 05:34 AM

Figure I get in on the match where all the sets are close. Oh well, another loss, another day. Maybe my super long shot Garrigues can hit ...
