Miami Open - ATP : Predictions and bets

[Bert]

Men draw - Day #3

Didn't decided yet who I will go for, but I will probably stay away from Federer - DelPotro. I think Federer should take it but odds are a bit too optimistic for me.
I think Simon will smash Monaco who was really lucky to defeat Dodig (1 set down, 3-1 down before winning 10 games in a row). Do we know why Dodig retired ?
Fritz Ferrer will be interesting too.

I will come back later with my picks.

The anticipated 2nd round match is Federer-DelPo. I'll stay away from that one, too, though I'll give you a $5 side-bet that BB will lay money on Roger. Fritz-Ferrer will be interesting most likely just to see how the youngster handles him. But I don't expect him to win. I'll put $20 on Ferrer. Djokovic is too boring even to bet on. I'd like to see Zverev move on, so I'll put $10 that he beats Stevie Johnson. And $10 on Verdasco getting a bump after his doubles win to beat Chardy. What the heck?

 

[Bert]

I will go with 10 $ on Goffin and 10$ on Simon.

Missed my bets on Day 2 Didn't like the look of a few of those matchups though ). I was probably going to lay out on Zverev, but good job I didn't.

Didn't look very appealing, especially after Federer's withdraw. Maybe some bigger matches in the next days.

Today's results :

@britbox = 65.2 $ (2/4)
@Moxie = +7.6 -10 + 6 + 77.25 = 80.85 $ (4/8)
@Bert = +4.1 + 4.2 + 95.45 = 103.75 $ (4/5)

 

[Moxie]

May be time to start focusing. BB and I are in the red.

DAy #4 :

Not much inspiration here. Not sure Kyrgios is back 100%. I would love betting on Querrey but Mannarino is able to play great.

I can afford a risky one so I will try 5 $ on Cuevas.

 

[Bert]

I will add 10$ on Dolgopolov.

 

[britbox]

Not too many I like the look of here with regard to value. Will keep a low profile this round and lay $10 on Cuevas and not too convinced with that one either.

 

[Moxie]

I'll bet against Bert and put $5 on Seppi, just to add intrigue. Also, $5 on Kudla, because Raonic is carrying an injury, and $10 on Wawrinka to balance the whole thing out when I'm wrong.

Rough day at the bookies for you @Moxie

Am I too late to join for this?

No, not too late. Any poster can jump in at any point. You have $100 at the start of each tournament... and you can bet as often (or as little) as you like.

There is also one in the WTA section too.

Thanks BB. I'll have more time from now on and I like these friendly wagers.

I haven't seen any women's matches, as if WTA does not exist for Canada. I can just really gamble on them since it is not my money anyway.

Whoever comes last has to mow bert's back lawn as he is putting in all the effort with running it.

I better mention that bert lives on a ranch and his back lawn is 2,000 acres. You'll also need to avoid the huge herd of grazing bison.

 

[Billie]

:lulz2: Oh BB. All the more incentive not to be last (bison scare me)

 

[Moxie]

Do join in, Billie. It's only funny money, and it's more fun with more folks.

Right?! Wawrinka was going to be my off-set. And I wasn't even going to care that he lost, and now Rafa's out! Well, it's good we have this, because my interest in the tournament just went down by about 95%.

 

[Bert]

Today's results :

@britbox = +7.7 + 65.2 = 72.9 $ (3/5)
@Moxie = -5 -5 -10 + 80.85 = 60.85 $ (4/11)
@Bert = +3.35 + 4.4 +103.75 = 111.50 $ (6/7)

Welcome @Billie ! Show us who's the boss
