It's so hard to have a future or even a ML bet on the guy ... You know he's going to make you sweat out at least one tiebreak.

Whoever said Bartoli is injured should fukk himself. She's clearly not, and extremely motivated. Not looking good for my LAA/McHale parlay.

Her upper thigh is wrapped. She has an injury, but I guess it's not as bad as we thought. You could criticize the reporters who cover this stuff for possibly exaggerating things ... I don't know. We'll see how she holds up as the match moves along.

Also on the Angels ... but runline. Not a lot riding on that because I am always afraid of Texas' bats.

Just wait till she starts losing
She always pulls that crap

She's moving and hitting the best I've seen from her, possibly....ever. Derp injury is derp.

The Bet Master · 07-20-12, 11:04 PM

That blows to do all that work then lose before the breaker.

ParlayininHTown · 07-20-12, 11:05 PM

Bartoli breaks to win the first set 7-5. I have to root for McHale in the second set to cash the over.

A great facepalm moment for McHale as she loses the first set on an unforced error.

gaebiskon · 07-20-12, 11:06 PM

Let's hope for a repeat of king match

She can still fook this up

tevari · 07-20-12, 11:08 PM

I'm not watching Isner/Sock. Is Sock actually outplaying Isner with his return game or is Isner just playing like shit? On paper it's a monumental mismatch.

tevari · 07-20-12, 11:12 PM

LoL @ the 4 double faults in one game from Bartoli in that game.

The Bet Master · 07-20-12, 11:12 PM

There's the Bartoli serve that we have seen as of late

From the bits and pieces I've seen, Sock looks like he is serving well. Isner has chipped in with his typical wild unforced errors, but Sock's serve is no joke.

I've seen like 2 Isner service games, and his serve looked fine except for one double fault. I've missed a lot of return games where Sock was more competitive.

The Bet Master · 07-20-12, 11:16 PM

Wow McHale. Bad effort.

tevari · 07-20-12, 11:18 PM

Yea that was pretty pitiful. I think she folds up shop here.

The Bet Master · 07-20-12, 11:19 PM

How many times does she just want to hit it in the middle of the net.

ParlayininHTown · 07-20-12, 11:21 PM

McHale pissing away that break may screw me out of the over. I need 10 games in this set, so McHale better get her s*** together and at least win 4 games.

The Bet Master · 07-20-12, 11:23 PM

Bartoli just looks more solid. I'm not sure she'll get those 4.

The Bet Master · 07-20-12, 11:25 PM

She's just not going for anything

ParlayininHTown · 07-20-12, 11:29 PM

Bartoli had the court wide open and blew it. haha. McHale can't keep waiting for Bartoli to make mistakes, though. She has to let it fly with the forehand more often.

The Bet Master · 07-20-12, 11:31 PM

If McHale gets this set she should win. Hopefully Bartoli just won't find her serve again.

ParlayininHTown · 07-20-12, 11:33 PM

Sock hit one just a tad long at 40-A, and Isner is about to serve for the match.

Just need one more game from McHale, and I'm home ...

The Bet Master · 07-20-12, 11:34 PM

You should get your over. Barring a retirement or McHale totally shitting the bed.

ParlayininHTown · 07-20-12, 11:42 PM

WTA breakfest ... Isner served it out, btw. Roddick is his opponent in the semis, so whoever wins that one likely takes the crown in the ATL.

Luca Fury · 07-20-12, 11:42 PM

The only sure bet in WTA is that the players with lay eggs, flake out and shit the bed. God damn, is there a flakier sport that WTA? Serious question.

tevari · 07-20-12, 11:44 PM

McHale on consolidating breaks: 0/3

The Bet Master · 07-20-12, 11:46 PM

Hopefully she'll go 1/4.

tevari · 07-20-12, 11:47 PM

Grats on the over hitting.

Thank you, tevari.

Bartoli's serve looks awful at the moment, and she might fade if this goes to three. I think McHale can get this one for you guys if she can hold serve here.

tevari · 07-20-12, 11:54 PM

Unreal. Broken back again ....this time and the last time she was up 40-30 and Bartoli proceeds to wi. 3 straight pts and the game. Turning this shit off amd hitting the hay.

The Bet Master · 07-20-12, 11:54 PM

I can't take this any more. Probably only betting WTA live in play from now on. Or huge dogs.

tevari · 07-20-12, 11:55 PM

Spoke too soon. She held. Miracle.

tevari · 07-20-12, 11:57 PM

Call me weird, but I find WTA to be a gold mine. Dogs anywhere between +220ish and below hit, and hit frequently. Live betting is always good too, the women are extremely demonstrative with their emotions.

This is bad for my blood pressure

tevari · 07-21-12, 12:01 AM

Id say there is a good chance McHale gets broken here.

That is very true. You just need to know when to pick your spots. I've had bad luck as of late with that. Hopefully McHale can pull through.

It's good to try to train your brain to expect this when you bet on a WTA match. Just come into it knowing it will be a rollercoaster ride ... I wouldn't be surprised if it's better for our health to not watch these matches, but it'll affect our ability to know the form of certain players.

It's hard to resist betting these late-night matches, but they won't be on the West Coast much longer. That'll definitely help me stay away from WTA.
