Miami Open - WTA : Predictions and Bets

[Bert]

Final round : Azarenka vs. Kuznetsova

Azarenka to win (1.19), Azarenka to win in 2 sets (1.63), in 3 sets (4.1)
Azarenka to win with handicap of -3.5 games (1.38), -5.5 games (2.02), -7.5 games (4.5)
E.g : if you pick Azarenka to win with handicap of -3.5 games, if the score is 6/4 6/4, she is +4 games so the bet is won, if the score was 7/6 6/4 it would be lost

Kuznetsova to win (4.9), in 2 sets (9.0), in 3 sets (10.5)
Kuznetsova to win with an handicap of +3.5 games (3.1), +5.5 games (1.81), +7.5 games (1.22)

OMG Bert, I have to read that a few more times. You have covered everything. Can we bet on more than 1 thing?

 

[Bert]

Yes, you can make as many bets as you want... just have to pick the winning ones

 

[Billie]

^^ Well that is my biggest problem. All right, I'll give I some thought and will come up with winning combo.

Looking forward to seeing your picks. I don't have much inspiration for this one.

 

[Bert]

I go with 50$ on Azarenka in 2 sets (1.63) and 50 $ with Kuznetsova + 7.5 games (1.22).

 

[britbox]

Straight $140 on Azarenka to win @1.19

 

[Billie]

Vika to win in 2 sets $30; Svetlana to win in 3 sets $30.

Match to go 3 sets $25.

So if Svetlana wins in 2 I'll be left with $2 and change.

 

[Moxie]

$119.51 for Vika to win in straights. Why not?

 

[Bert]

...and the winner is....

Moxie !

@britbox = +26.6 + 140.25 = 166.85 $ (13/17=76% good predictions)
@Moxie = +75.29 + 119.51 = 194.80 $ (9/13=69% good predictions)
@Bert = +31.5 + 11 + 100 = 142.5 $ (14/19=74% good predictions)
@Billie = +18.9 - 30 -25 +87.4 = 51.3 $ (6/12=50% good predictions)

Well done Moxie. Good inspiration on the last one ! Good results, everyone made money... oups... not everyone no...

@Moxie smashes it with a late bet... I thought I had @Bert covered - didn't expect you to fly in with that winner takes all punt.

As I'm learning this odds business, I could see that my only chance to pass BB was to go for Vika in 2. Hilarious, as I will probably end the men's betting challenge with $0. @Bert this is good fun, and thanks for doing it. And at least I won't be coming to Australia to groom your yard.

 

[Billie]

Wow Moxie, well done.

This was fun, thanks to Bert for doing it and calculating all. Yep, I am ready for work.

I wish I had the house that Britbox described You will be the first hired for gardening if this happens Billie

Ha ha,, Bert, just like we had this money to bet, why can't you have the house our dear BB described? He has some imagination and is known to tease.

I am good with weeding, I can tell you that.

 

[britbox]

Don't believe a word of it Billie... when they built flood defences in New Orleans after the last cyclone... they used 8,000 tonnes of stone. You know where they sourced it? It was gravel from Bert's driveway.

Bert doesn't like to boast... but I have it on good authority that the last man who mowed his back lawn (in a combine harvester) ran out of petrol... after leaving the servant's quarters with a full tank. He was carving out a maze in Bert's back yard.

 

[Billie]

BB!!

Great, a maze, bison, acres of land. I might revise my opinion of this being a friendly betting game.::sw1::
