3-4 (+2.75 units)

Tournament to date:

18-24 (-2.57 units)

Still a struggle, but hopefully I have turned the corner.
Eventually these players that should not win on grass will lose. Let's just hope the prices are decent.

Time to work on tomorrow's card.

You seem to have much confidence in Blake. I would like to read your reasons to this match because I was thinking to bet Ferrero. In their previous games Ferrero has beaten Blake in his best surface and if he has done it before it would not be a big surprise imo if he would do that again because Blake is pretty onedimensional with his powertennis and if you can take that away from him he has no much weapons. Of course Blake can be great if he is on the right mood but same otherwise.

Good luck for your games

Leviathan,
On grass different game. No big fan of either big American, Blake or Roddick, but against lesser grass foes will lay the number.
Ferrero is chasing behind the baseline against everyone and James can put him away. That is my reasoning, and just my opinion there.

A.Roddick -1500 2.r units
I hate Andy, but will back him here.

Thanks from your opinion GreenDoberman, I appreciate that, it is just these organisers who are making the courts slower and slower that many baseliners can play well too. I would like to see tomorrow Bjorkman and Arthurs playing. That will be some grass match, both should be doing only serve and volley tennis.

 

[GreenDoberman]

:ughhh: Getting pummelled again. So be it, another day.

 

[rhinooooo]

We'll get em tomorrow. Tournament has been very tough. Dogs not covering, and the odds on the faves have been too short.

Good luck on the next plays.

Tipsarevic +122 double pop
Arthurs/Gimelstob -350 1 unit

 

[GreenDoberman]

GD... anyways roddick loses tomorrow?

 

[GreenDoberman]

Don't think he loses. Then again, my opinion has been off this whole tourney.

 

[rhinooooo]

The worst weather I've seen in a long long time here in London. Thunder, lightning, heavy rain, dark clouds. I would not be surprised if there was flooding at Wimbledon. The tournament organizers have really fucked up by not using middle sunday as an opportunity to play.

 

[GreenDoberman]

Updating records:
3-2 (+1.2 units)
&
0-2 (-5.5 units)

Tourn.to date:

21-32 (-16.58 units)

Haven't had a tournament this bad in a long time and the first losing Wimbledon in years.

If you are looking for a silver lining, I'm 1-0 in challengers, lol.

 

[Railbird]

good challanger bet is Kevin Anderson out of Illinois U,especailly in champaign. Also keep an eye on Eisner out of Georgia in coming weeks He is better than Querry.

 

[GreenDoberman]

Good stuff, Rail.
