Today's action :

 

[Moxie]

@Bert: You, Billie and I are the peloton! That made me laugh. And Carol with the yellow shirt.

Not many good ones to bet on that I can see. If I keep going for my longer-shots, I could be in trouble. Oh, but why not? I'll put $5 on Granollers, $5 on Cuevas and $5 on Kohlscreiber.

Do you think that Grannolers has a chance against Zverev ? In my mind that was a sure bet to take Zverev, I probably missed something.

Granollers is the lucky loser. His odds are by definition lower than anyone's. I think his chance is that he's good on clay, fairly tall, and more experienced. Zverev's going to stumble at some point. And what's the worst that happens? I lose $5. Pfft.

 

[Billie]

I think I am 4/8 my usual 50%, not that it matters that much as long as my money is properly added.

I'll bet $10 on Zverev and $5 each on Raonic, Wawrinka and Goffin.

Great start Carol!!!!

 

[Bert]

Ok. Thanks for the clarifications @Moxie

I'm pretty sure with those bets you'll be passing the 40 cent advantage I had over you last round. LOL. I just don't find betting favorites to be interesting. I guess this is why I'm no gambler.

 

[Billie]

^^ I picked 4 matches again to see if my theory holds.

Honestly who would bet on 1.01 odds?

 

[Carol]

It's not how we start but how we finish, tomorrow probably I will be one more in the peloton

 

[Bert]

10$ on Raonic and 10$ on Zverev

 

[britbox]

$10 Wawrinka
$30 Monfils

But...exactly! I can't even recoup my long-shots with some safer ones because they're so safe. Uh, oh...I suspect you have a system, Billie.

This season Djokovic is 28w for 1l. If you had bet 10$ on each of his matches, you would have bet 290 $ and won 10.1 $... approx. 3% benefits. Better to leave the money at the bank If he only had one more loss, you would have lost money.

Then I'm going to bet to his opponents (not too much just in case) and if he loss I get more money
