Miami Open - ATP : Predictions and bets

[Bert]

I hope Kyrgios wins, because I think that he is the only one who can challenge Djoko a bit.

Yeah, I actually want Nick to win even though I bet on Kei.

I think that will be the first time Nole doesn't play in night session against Goffin. Will be interesting to see how he copes with the heat and sun. He struggled a bit in IW.

 

[Moxie]

I'm going to bet $5 on Goffin (just because he's my only chance to get back in the race) and $20 on Nick. I agree, BB (and B,) that it's a tough call. I sort of have to bet the longer odds, and it would be fun to see him play Novak.

 

[Denis]

Ok I know the first match is already underway but no breaks yet so Im going with 50 on Novak and 50 on Kyrgios (yes, going big, but havent played yet). I hope Im wrong with the latter.

 

[Moxie]

So much for my long-shot. LOL! But Goffin did play well.

 

[Bert]

Last round results :

@britbox = +7.1 +123.3 = 130.4 $ (9/13)
@Moxie = -25 + 40.85 = 15.85 $ (4/14)
@Bert = -10 + 119.08 = 109.08 $ (11/16)
@Billie = +1.75 -10 +91.1 = 82.85 $ (8/13)
@Denis = +3.5 - 50 + 100 = 53.5 $ (1/2)

Welcome @Denis ! I will give some alternative bets for the final so everyone would have a chance to win... or lose

 

[Billie]

1 step forward, 2 steps back for me.:hunting:

BB and Bert are killing it. Moxe and I, oh.

 

[Carol]

The question is, will Nish have anything left for the MS and GS finals? the past history says not
So I bet 10$ for Novak :hoops:

Playing it safe @Carol

 

[Denis]

Playing it safe @Carol

I think a day's interest in a bank for 10 dollars will get you a bigger return than the odds Novak will win.

 

[Bert]

Men's final :

Djokovic to win (1.17), in 2 sets (1.60), in 3 sets (4).
Djokovic to win with handicap -3.5 games (1.47), -4.5 games (1.76), -6.5 games (4)

Make your picks !

 

[Carol]

Ok, I change my mind, then Bert please, forget my previous bet

I bet on Nish 10 dollars, if he would win I would get 20, correct?

 

[Moxie]

The only way for me to do well is to bet my pot, $15.85 (how sad) on Nishikori to win in 3 sets. I suppose the world could tilt, but I doubt it. But that's my bet.

 

[britbox]

Djokovic to win the match. $130 at 1.17

 

[Bert]

if you bet 10$ on Nishikori you will win 5.2 x 10 = 52 $. That means +42 $ (52 - your 10 $ stake).

 

[Bert]

30 $ on Djokovic to win in 3 sets (4.0)

 

[britbox]

30 $ on Djokovic to win in 3 sets (4.0)

Crafty... very crafty

 

[Bert]

Crafty... very crafty

I spent time trying to find any valuable bets but this match doesn't tell me anything. I am pretty sure that Djoko will take it but odds are not very appealing. Going with alternate bets is like flipping a coin on this one... finger crossed

 

[Denis]

All in for Djokovic to win in two sets.

What does the handicap thing mean @Bert?
