On Isner.

Let's get it.

Snowball · 08-11-12, 11:44 AM

can't tell for sure, but it could be live on ESPN2 starting 4:30
they have coverage, although the match only has a "not before 3:00"
mark.

Yea yesterday it looked as if the matches were on ESPN 2...I was wondering if I should take off from work and be home by 2 to watch if it were on espn or just stay at work if I had to watch online anyways.

Personally, I think Gasquet takes a set and can even pull an upset if everything goes right. He was a little shaky in the 1st against Fish, but he actually smelled blood when Fish's level dipped and he did not let him back up. His serve has been pretty stout and he shouldn't be challenged a whole helluva lot on his serve by Isner. I was really surprised that Raonic didn't finish him in the 1st yesterday after getting a break. Normally, that is the kiss of death for Isner in any set. I'd also be a little hesitant with both having played two matches yesterday as to where their fitness/mental strength will be at. Both spent about the same time on court, but I'm always a little weary of Isner's bounce back ability from day to day ... not that Gascan is superbly fit or anything in his own right. I just think this is a tricky match.

well, my post shows if Isner wins 2-1, it's a Push for me.
concerning Gasquet winning, at least you're not willing to put money on that.

MUHerd37 · 08-11-12, 12:27 PM

The thing about Gasquet is you never know how hard he is gonna play. I always question his motivation.

tb1984 · 08-11-12, 02:00 PM

it looks like it's raining in Toronto? does anyone know?

Semper Fidelis · 08-11-12, 02:09 PM

Let's get this snowball. Isner is by far my favorite player, though I am a bit biased of course considering we went to the same school lol.

EaglesPhan36 · 08-11-12, 02:49 PM

What was the ML on Isner?

I got it at -135. Think it dropped to -130 right before it started though.

EaglesPhan36 · 08-11-12, 03:00 PM

Seems like it would have made more sense to just take him ML if you expected a win and don't sweat the set outcome. I realize it's a nice bonus to hit the plus money - but if the ML is accurate, then you could have spent that $130 to win $100 and not worried about it. Just my two cents.

Semper Fidelis · 08-11-12, 03:06 PM

That's what I did actually-wasn't able to get the prop bet in, it was taken down on 5Dimes right before it started. I was barely able to get the ml in time before it started.

MagicDiceFlow · 08-11-12, 03:08 PM

Gasquet will take a set, either this one or the next. Isner is struggling to hold serve while Gasquet holds quickly and easily. Isner will start tiring out pretty soon and start hitting loads of unforced errors.

Snowball · 08-11-12, 03:15 PM

ah well isner loses tiebreaker
still can push

Semper Fidelis · 08-11-12, 03:16 PM

What's up with isners tie breaks lately??? I thought he is supposed to be one of the highest percentage at winning them???

he may just lose the match now.
i went for the boom

Womens Modern Pentathlon Gold
Victoria Tereshuk +430

Beijing 2008, Tereshuk won Bronze, but beat the gold medalist, who is also the favorite today,
Schoneborn, in 4 of 5 events ! The only event she did not beat Schoneborn in was fencing.
Thus, if Tereshuk has brushed up on her fencing skills, she could win Gold.
Beijing's Silver medalist, Fell, is not competing as Britain has a younger, less established
representative.

Can also cover the wager with two others, this is how I am playing it,
basically as a Schoneborn Fade with the emphasis on Tereshuk.

Also I have France mens handball futures, and may even add for the match tomorrow
and btw in my MLB thread I have a 97% win rate, and I honestly don't care that virtually
nobody bothers to look at the thread, heck, maybe that's saving me from some kind of jinx,
but i feel like I found the mlb betting holy grail.

damn the big boy is tired!

Semper Fidelis · 08-11-12, 03:43 PM

You know I've been tailing your MLB thread for a while now snow! Made some real good money following you-keep up the good work buddy!

Snowball · 08-11-12, 03:51 PM

that's cool semper. i plan on applying the same strategy to NHL this year.
it wouldn't be a perfect fit with NFL or NBA as much as it will for NHL.
I could make it an ATS chase-fade with NBA and NFL, but that's more
dangerous because teams go on long ATS fail runs. But it's going to be
a very smooth crossover to NHL.

Isner.. fail.
