The slippery slope to hanging out at the OTB, smoking fags and putting my last $2 on Blue Belle.

Round #4 / Day #7

Goffin - Wawrinka (3.58 / 1.28)
Gasquet - Cilic (1.66 / 2.17)
Berdych - Raonic (2.4 / 1.55)
Nadal - Zverev (1.33 / 3.21)
Monfils - Delbonis (1.19 / 4.5)
Djokovic - Lopez (1.07 / 8.53)
Isner - Nishikori (2.02 / 1.77)
Thiem - Tsonga (1.88 / 1.88)

Interesting facts :
Lopez played Djokovic 8 times and only won once last month in Dubai when Djokovic retired. He lost the 7 previous matches, winning only two sets.
Wawrinka leads 3-0 against Goffin. Goffin never managed to win a set but there were 4 tie-breaks.
Bookmakers give a 50/50 for Thiem - Tsonga. They only played once in 2013, Tsonga won in the third set tie-break. Thiem has won his last 9 matches, 20/24 sonce the start of the season.

I will bet 10 $ on Nishikori, 10$ on Thiem and 5$ on Zverev.

 

[britbox]

$20 Wawrinka, $10 Zverev

 

[Moxie]

I'll bet $10 on Berdy, $5 on Delbonis, $10 on Nadal and $10 on Thiem.

 

[Bert]

I'll bet $10 on Berdy, $5 on Delbonis, $10 on Nadal and $10 on Thiem.

Maybe we will have to think about a rule to cancel bets when nobody understands winner's celebration

 

[Moxie]

What's not to understand? And I'm a nun in my day job.

Today's results :

@britbox = -20 -10 + 133.6 = 103.6 $
@Moxie = -10 - 5 +3.3 - 10 + 101.8 = 80.1 $
@Bert = +7.7 - 10 - 5 + 113.9 = 106.6 $

@Denis = 125.1$

 

[Moxie]

The bummer is, I had a feeling about Goffin, and I didn't go with it. (See? I am hooked.) Anyway, I don't care...Rafa won!

Hope you didn't sweat too much watching Rafa's game. I think Zverev will think about this volley for the few next days... Same as Wawrinka for his miss on an easy smash in the 3rd set tie-break.

Hopefully we don't bet on doubles : Roger-Vasselin / Zimonjic were 9-2 down in the super tie-break and managed to win against Bryan brothers. Crazy !!!

 

[Moxie]

I was totally sweating that match. And I saw Zverev's presser after. He's deeply regretting that shot. He was so down at the mouth, poor kid. But pressure is pressure, and needs to be learned to live with. Stan...what is there to say? Duff of the year.

 

[Bert]

Today's matches :

Cilic - Goffin (1.63 / 2.24)
Raonic - Monfils (1.33 / 3.26)

I will bet 5 $ on Goffin and 5 $ on Monfils.

 

[Moxie]

I hate to copy off of you Bert, but those are the two I'd prefer to see win. So I'll go with them, too. I'll say $5 on Monfils and $10 on Goffin, just to be a little different.

 

[Denis]

20 on Milos 10 on Goffin.

 

[Bert]

Today's results :

@Moxie : +12.4 - 5 + 80.1 = 87.5 $
@Denis : +6.6 + 12.4 + 125.1 = 144.1 $
@Bert : +6.2 - 5 + 106.6 = 107.8 $

@britbox : 103.6 $

 

[britbox]

Denis is smashing it at the moment. I had to take a day out but back in the mix for the rest of the tourney.

 

[Bert]

Men QF / 2 matches today

Nadal - Nishikori (2.07 / 1.74)
Djokovic - Tsonga (1.13 / 5.66)

Interesting facts :
Nadal leads 7-1 against Nishikori but lost the most recent games. On his 7 wins, he won 5 times in straight sets.
Djokovic leads 15-6 against Tsonga. Tsonga won 5 out of the 7 first matches (2008 - 2010) and then only won once on the 15 other matches.

I bet 10 $ on Nishikori.

 

[britbox]

I'll go $5 on Nadal, $20 on Djokovic

 

[Denis]

Have to go with the favorites on this one. 10 on Kei and 20 on Novak.

 

[Moxie]

$20 on Nadal $20 on Novak.
