Friendly virtual betting competition - Roma

[Bert]

Hi guys,
Who is keen for a betting challenge on Roma tournament ?

Too late for today's matches but I post some odds for tomorrow matches... It is a bit tricky to post everything at the right time from Australia, but I will try to post odds for missing matches later if I can.

As usual, we all start we 100 $ and we can bet as much as we want on as many matches as we want... Make your picks !

I go : 10$ on Berdych to start.

 

[britbox]

Ditto. I'll take $10 on Berd also.

Monaco has better odds than Anderson. That is somewhat surprising to me, so I will put 20 on Anderson. I know Monaco is on his way back, and Anderson is not great on clay, but I'll take my chances.

I think that is because this is only the second match of Anderson after surgery : shoulder and ankle. He came back in Madrid and lost 6/4 6/1 on the first round.

Bert says I have $10 extra on this challenge, so I'm going to be cavalier. $10 on Paire to beat Wawrinka. $5 on Lorenzi to beat Bautista Agut. $5 on Dzhmur to beat Chardy and $5 on Iñigo Cervantes to beat Kohly. Could be fivolous, but I've got a bit of house money to play with.

I was trying to find that link that Bert posted once, where we can look up the odds before he posts them here. I should have added the site to my favorites, alas I didn't.

OMG, I had to edit my post as I just saw that Bert did include them.

 

[Billie]

$10 on Robert and $10 on Chardy.

Yes, I squandered my bonus $10. Oh, well...easy come, easy go.

 

[Moxie]

Some possibly tricky ones tomorrow. Roger's re-entry not so easy. I'll take $5 on Zverev. $1 on Robert, just for the odds. $10 on GG Lopez, as I'm not sure Ferrer is all the way back. $5 on Seppi and $5 on Kyrgios to return well and hold his head together. I guess I shouldn't just bet underdogs. $20 on Nadal and $20 on Thiem.

 

[Billie]

Yay, got them both. Lady luck, stay with me.

I'll bet $10 on Bellucci and $5 on Raonic.

 

[masterclass]

Sadly, I'll bet 20$ Roger withdraws..

 

[Carol]

$20 to Kyrgios

I've read something about Federer is going to withdraw, if that's true I don't see him playing this year

Not certain, but here's the Guardian's take on it.

 

[Denis]

10 on Zverev and 10 on belucci

 

[masterclass]

Sadly, I'll bet 20$ Roger withdraws..

A bet I was happy to lose.

Respectfully,
