    I felt sorry for you yesterday and am glad Murray saved your coin.

    Sympathy is much less today - many of us have futures on li, me included, and this bet (win or lose) was not a good one...

    Wow

    i almost put my last kibbles and bits on clijsters but i decided to play the live lines
    womens tennis is just too volatile sometimes
    seems like the good players can beat the great ones on any given day
    while on the mens side, its a lot more consistant at the very top

    I'm glad she came back to win. I put a live wager on Kim at +163 for 2 units when she was down a set.

    I risked 20 units to win 20 units in 1 month. You've risked 100's.

    Nevertheless congrats hopefully now you take this win and retire I don't see your strategy to be profitable in the long run. Take this advice before you go bankrupt, GL.

    Take it easy. Taking Clijsters vs Li was like taking Agassi vs Schoettler in the Australian Open final several years ago, in other words pretty much a done deal. The guy did his math and it paid off for him, don't rain on his parade.

    Thanks Nard Dog. I studied this play and it worked. I don't see how you can say it was a BAD play when it WON. Makes no sense to me but thanks.

    Good job Weaver.... I was on Clijsters as well. Li doesn't have the experience and it showed in the second set.

    Terribly lol play and just a loan from the books when you want to go this big. You'll be broke and have reloaded multiple times before Clijsters retires.

    Great job weaver!! You had your play and went for it. My trying to hedge out of my Li future went busto because I took Clijsters 2-0 but I almost made what I would've from the future on betting those silly girls to go to deuce and break. Still not the best result for me but considering how much you had on the line here, I'm happy it worked out for both of us somewhat although I'd be much happier with your haul!! Congrats again!
