Huh?

 

[champcruthik]

Some likening the curve or career path of Grigor against Rafa and Genie against Li Na. Glimpses into the future.

Huh?

That's just what my friend said. I'm looking up sports betting now and it's not what my friend is saying at all.

I'm not aware of how betting is in Tennis. Quick crash course?

Edit:

Nm friend just clarified it was odds of winning the tourney.

R Nadal
10/11

R Federer
9/4

S Wawrinka
3/1

 

[champcruthik]

Yes, I'm counting down. 6 more hours. Should take my own advice and power nap quickly.

Like I said, could always avoid spoilers and results during the day and record the live broadcast or ESPN re-air midday.

Bet $200 on Roger. Not staying up to watch though. My work day might start off horrible tomorrow

Don't love it, Rusty. Career record working against Fed. New raquet and "Fedberg." Not enough incentive for "only" 40 extra cents on the dollar.

Domi might be the play if you want to gamble. 2 on the dollar. Li Na has endured mental lapses and confidence breakdowns in the past. Pressure of a nation. Cibulkova has nothing to lose and will come out gunning. She packs a punch for her size as aepps has adequately covered.

 

[richiemcfly]

whats the anticipated start time of the Fed/Nadal Match?

3:30 AM EST on ESPN. Give or take a few minutes.

I don't bet WTA since I'm only a casual fan of the womens game. Even if someone gives me a heads up, I feel comfortable betting money without the decision being based on my on knowledge.

And to keep it #1HUNNA I don't follow women's sports in general. Tennis is only one I even really watch

Warwinka and Roger got me up over $600 for the tourney anyway.

Good stuff, man.

I got Fed wrong. Picked Muzz to win that quarter in five.

NP. I'll be cognizant not to post spoilers or results in here.

 

[richiemcfly]

No worries. I check ESPN when i get up anyways so it'll be spoiled

So tired I would smash Chris McKendry right now.

She's older now but she wasn't bad in her prime

Don't judge me. I'm sleepy and cranky.
