      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.
      The bad thing is I know what I'm getting into yet continue to do it. And don't worry we'll have those early morning matches in the Olympics that will be hard for us to stay away from.

        Bartoli will either show us that she's gassed, or that she's going to fight to the end....in which case I would give her the edge.

          Why will they not be on west coast anymore?
          Please enlighten me as I have no clue

            McHale is pushing Bartoli back and dictating more points than earlier in the match. McHale backers should be in good shape as long as she doesn't have a mental breakdown.

                This is the last week the WTA will be playing on the West Coast. No more late-night women's matches until they hit Asia after the US Open.

                I believe the men play a tournament in LA really soon, so there will be late-night tennis on their end.

                  she consolidates this break and then we have a shot.

                      My fault. I should've said "this year" at some point in the first post you quoted.

                        Bartoli asked for a trainer ... Would kind of suck to get a push on the over on a late retirement, but the trainer hasn't shown up yet.

                        A retirement would also be a bummer for McHale backers. We'll see if Bartoli just wants a little treatment or is thinking of bailing now that she knows she's lost this match.

                            How has she lost the match? It's about to be 2 all. She's out there trying, I'll give her that.

                              I guess I'm not as worried as you because I don't have money riding on McHale ...

                              For McHale backers' sake, I'm going to stop making negative comments about Bartoli. She's a lock!

                                  Bartoli is an extremely dangerous player with momentum and/or confidence. if she feels like she has it going, she cant obliterate people.

                                    McHale is still on serve, but Bartoli will break her here ... Too dominant to be stopped.

                                    Right, Tevari?

                                      3 straight games for Bartoli. Enough of this....bedtime. I'll check my phone in the morning fully expecting to see the final line score of 7-5, 4-6, 6-4 in favor of you know who.

                                          Last match played on grass petrova made her look like a grade schooler

                                            Cibulkova needs to get her first serve in often ... Petrova's serve has been solid this week, so I don't see Cibulkova generating a lot of break points.

                                            I haven't looked at a lot of numbers or the line, so it's hard to give an opinion on a bet. I'd lean toward Petrova off the top of my head, but it's honestly not sound advice.

                                                  TI buried again. Bartoli breaks to win the third set 6-4. WTF was she asking for a trainer for?

                                                  Sorry tevari ... If you agree with TI, go the opposite way. lol.

                                                      Needed a bathroom break, too ... She pulled a couple veteran tricks out of the bag to toy with McHale's head. McHale even called for her coach after she lost 3 games in a row. First take care of head ...

                                                      In retrospect, I'm glad I played it safe and took the over. I would've took McHale ML if I had bet this on Bookmaker. They didn't have spreads and totals for the women's matches today for some reason.

                                                          Sorry tevari ... If you agree with TI, go the opposite way. lol.
                                                          It's normally only when they roll on consensus dogs though. I would say at least 75% of the time and that is probably low that the favorite will win when TI is on a clear majority on a dog like McHale yesterday.

                                                          Just an absolute jinx like the Madden Curse.

                                                            The Big Tie Break wins another TB.

                                                            As much as you might loathe his simple game, he is quite remarkable in tie breaks. He's right around 67% for his win rate in tie breaks in his career. That's a shade better than Federer who is I think 65-66%. Djokovic is 63%. Nadal is 63%.
