Wimbledon starts tomorrow.

One question - is Djokovic way overpriced at 50's on Betfair??

Wonder if Blatch will be giving any opinions on this one?

just lol sir

I'm on. Small value bets this year rather than a chunk on one particular player. Its the most wide open Wimbledon for 6 years and the betting reflects this.

This time last year i had £1k on Federer to win it @ EVS and hes 2.4 this time round. But hes not the same player. Hes recently lost to Berdych, Gulbis and Hewitt and also to Soderling in a Grand Slam. Its almost a lay.

I like Berdych for this. Hes in Federers quarter, clashing with him in the Quarter Finals if they both make it and his serve has been much improved recently and that is obviously crucial in regards to Grass court tennis. At 65s im certainly going to have a go.

Hewitt won Halle for me last week @ 14s and is 48.0 on Betfair to win Wimbledon, 33s with most bookies but Sporting Bet are offering 66s? wtf. He is in the easiest Quarter and has recently said that the reason hes still playing tennis is that he thinks he can get back to the top of the game. He is going about this the right way beating Federer in the Halle final on grass last week. I don't "think" he will win Wimbledon but 66s is definitely value.

15ew Hewitt @ 66s (Sporting)
30w Berdych @ 65.0 (Bfair)
5w Youzhny @ 700s (Bfair)
10w 4th Quarter Winner - Youzhny 33s (Stan)
10w 1st Quarter Winner - Melzer 50s (365)
10w Berdych/Nadal - Name The Finalists @ 80s (365)
5w Berdych/Murray Name The Finalists @ 100s (Sky)

Invested = £100

gr8 a month of dodgy weather





 and loads of grunting and huffing and short skirts and boobs bouncing all over the place  ;kev; ;kev; ;kev; ;kev; ;kev; ;kev;

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

I haven't looked at this at all but they are very generous odds, best have a look. cracking opportunity to trade out with a decent profit with those odds

Fed still cant be over looked in the winners market, even tho he isnt the same player as he was last year. 76-2 record on grass in the last 4-5 years shouldn't be over looked

Laura Robson makes her centre court debut, straight after some bloke called Federer has finished his 1st round match.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/7416645.stm

I'll be on centre court all day thursday. Something to look forward to!

You should have gone today!

Enjoy yourself fella. 

Applied for tickets in the ballot and this is what we got.

Federers just lost the 1st set of his first round match to Alejandro Falla.

Fed was 1.01 to win the match and 1.2 to win 3-0.

Bad isn't good until it gets worse for Federer.

Now down a break in the second.

This is incred, plz get this second set Alejandro.

Two sets down.  Good time to back Federer for the win?

2/5 is awfully skinny.

I couldn't touch that with a bargepole.

not at 1.37 surely?  

oh no, Falla might be injured.

Come on Falla!


Got on Berdych at 65s and Hewitt at 50s late last night, lets doooooooo this.

Just had a look and saw that.  The odds on a Falla win look pretty good though (3.6), assuming the injury isn't too bad...?

Leave alone imo

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8alzkshR_mE

28 seconds in.....

Followed your advice.

Backed Falla at 4.4  :D

WOW,Federer 1.4 tempted to get on

You not watching the match?

;)

Incred point.

ffs, 3 break points Falla, fked it up.

Federer dug it out well.

yeah, sigh.

FMP

ffs

SIGH :( I'm at work,debated for a bit then thought why not may as well put full roll on it since it's not much,go to do it price goes to 2.2,seen he was 40-0 down obv i bottled it at that point,I'm prob now gunna put it on England instead so gg our World Cup hopes.

What's going on with Federer down a break in the 4th,when was the last time if ever he lost a 1st round match in a slam or any tournament for that matter ?

22/2003 ATP French Open  (FRA)   Clay   Luis Horna   Roger Federer   7-6(6) 6-2 7-6(3)   First

17/2010 ATP Rome (ITA)   Clay   Ernests Gulbis   Roger Federer   2-6 6-1 7-5   Second   4.84   -   1.17   $$$

I've laid off my bet so it's all greened up.  Not huge dimez, but far more than I got from any of blatch's betfair antics.

one time don't be mental midget.

Serving FOR the match, come on Falla!!

zzzzzzzzzzzzz.

oh no

:D

Wish I could've grew a pair when he was 3.8,Are you all on the other guy or just want Federer to lose ?

Just want Federer to lose for our torny bets, Berdy and Hewitt.

In game betting is crazy with tennis,you can't have a second to decide whether to go in or not and then your tilted because you don't want to take a worse price than you could've had a second ago,or at least that's how I think about it anyway.

Haha - I'm the same.  I guess when you're playing around at it like we are, we need the matches to swing one way and then the other in order for it to work.

I win slightly more if Falla wins, but glad I laid it off when Federer was over 3.2.

Backed Falla at 7.4, crazy price.

I'm afraid I lack Blatch's ninja tennis trading skills.

But he lacks your morals and the fact that people are wiling to lend you a tenner (if you asked).

I had the bet amount wrote in and if I probably had 5secs longer I would've took the 3.8 but meh no biggie I'll just knock it in on Eng on Weds instead knowing me.Still debating that, the price is terrible really at 1.44.

sigh, gg Falla.

Come on Laura Robson vs Jankovic!

How old is Robson? Is she eligible for my fittest birds thread?

She's 16 now.

She will win Wimbledon before she's 20 imo. 

She'll need to serve better than that though :D

I mean will i get jailed for posting pics of minors?

16. Yes.

Robson could be top 5 material in a few years time.

Gutsy performance.

Give her a year or two.

norrrrr, gr8 effort Laura.

In answer to my question based on yesterday's performance - NO!!!!

Got my life on Isner.... This match is a joke! 2 players who can Ace all day long get them into a rally and its poor form. Isner's volleys are lovely though.

Come on Isner!!!!!!!!!!!

Constant shit one after another... How can I keep running into the fucking upset of the day everytime..

Isner just f*** off and die!

COMME ONNNN GET YOUR HEAD ON FOR TOMORROW AND FINISH THAT FRENCH TWAT!

Aside from the footy, abs epic match going on here.

Isner vs Mahut, 20-20 in the 5th!

I watch an Isner match at the Aussie Open.

He mut be the least talented tennis player ever to make the top 30 in the world.

However his serve is just fing amazing.

GL Mahut breaking him.

so comedy. 6 hours and 10 minutes.

3.5 hour final set. 30 minutes away from longest anywhere ever!

so so ridic, 30-29.

It's a comedy match!

whats teh record?

This is longest match in history according to Wikipedia.

It is now by 1 minute.

this is fuckin crazy!

Two match points!!

1 match point

Deuce - and so it goes on.....and on.....and on....

It's like a Flushy v Sammy HU match!

Did you know Sammy has done a Blatch for about 10 times as much?

So sick that stribling is still sweating this game!

which sammy?

assuming farha.

Elaborate pls Keith!!

2-2 and 36/37 wtf???????????? madness

I am assuming not.

Have the police been called?

2-2 & 42-42 after nearly 8 hours on court 18

haha this is incred

The Guardian update on this game is awesome - http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2010/jun/23/wimbledon-2010-tennis-live

lol at the score!!

my money would be on the big fella Isner

LOL at 46 each now lol

Is this a record length match?

Way a record - previously no game had gone beyond about 6 and a half hours, this one is 8 and a half.

I'm shattered watching it

Umpire is probably bursting for a piss.

What happens if they don't finish this match until next Monday?

they'll miss englands next game :)

Has anyone called the police?

Amazing scenes - 49-49 all now!

................some people must be making and losing millions on sporting index :D

This match has gone on for 152 games - Serena Williams only played 146 in total in winning the entire championship last year.

9hrs and 20mins + ;gobsmacked; ;gobsmacked; ;gobsmacked;

Publicity stunt obv.

Unbelievable!!!

When I saw how far this match was going I had to flick over and watch it.

Managed 3 points then switched back to two and a half men.

Tennis is so boring. I'd even prefer to watch an England game.

The wimps are taking a break.  Pah!

This is fkin stupid. 58 all? wtf?

lol @ the lobsters in the crowd

100 aces each ??

Nice random selection of spectators for the interview Phil.

more rigged than the WWE IMO.

Could be a slight understatement from me earlier i think, lol.

Match point to Isner on Mahut's serve.

Ace.

I know - it's brilliant isn't it?

Definitely epic!!

French guy needs a drugs test....looks so fresh!!

:D

Isner was 6' 9" when the game started.  He's about 5' 11" now...

Jesus, 59 all!!

LOL - midnight stops play @ 59-59!

Booooooooooooooooooooooo - what a baby.

Get them on Centre imo

Isner was just about warmed up as well.

LOL - wimps

Now they're being interviewed!  Never seen an interview during a match before!

Mahut's hair isn't even sweaty

right decision imo

someone get them a coin to flip

where did they get the security from ?

bouncers at mothercare????

Wonder if they'll get sponsorship deals from Duracell after this match?

Maybe Neil would have got that 120k back trading the Isner Mahut match....!

I'm just numb now!!!!

Although I now feel i'm personally involved in the longest match ever! If he loses I will write him a letter mentioning my displeasure that he didn't try hard enough!

To be fair i'll just be happy if he gets back on the court!

I'm a ton+ deep on Isner at 1.83 (agreed Keith, I regret it now, get him in a rally and he is truly awful)

COMMMEEE ONNN ISSNNEEERRR!!!! DO IT FOR ENGLAND!!!

Sick sweat lol

They must have a massive last-longer bet.

He said he would never trade in running and only football.....................................

What happens if one of them dies before the match ends?  Are all bets voided?

Injuries = match lost

shssss.... I am definately confident Isner came off the pitch in a better shape.

That 57 56 Isner Match point ive never dreamt of a double fault more in my life

[   ] Thank god he didn't smash an ace down the middle to ruin my life!

that is one of the most incred thnigs I have ever read about in sport.

Anyone think it could be a setup?

Two players colluding to increase their profiles.

more likely they both have bet against themselves to win so keep   missing the returns of serves

Wiii gonna be on centre tomorrow!

Maybe they spread bet the number of games played at a very lucrative rate..!!

nice, enjoy.

There resuming on the same court 'not before 3.30', is that right?

That's what they said on the radio just now

Early days I know but Murray looks to be in better form this week.  ;applause;

The towel thing tilts me to fck! Why do they need to dab the sweat off after every point?? That's what sweatbands are for init??

[  ]  A sweatband would be sufficient.

They wear two!

fat blokes like girgy and me have to deal with sweat. We could teach these professional athletes a thing or two.

Mahut/Isner starting again on Court 18 right now.

61-61

Going with serve :D

It would be great if Mahut broke serve and Isner broke straight back..

100 aces for Isner.

Would be funny if there was a break and instant break-back.  Imagine how deflated Mahut would be though!

[ ] Kinboshi reads my posts

Watching this now.

Would be really com if one of them broke serve then the other dude just broke right back.

Sorry, it was actually in response to your post!  I was agreeing with you..

:D

This is so ridiculous that it's brilliant!

I didn't know who I wanted to win american or frenchie, but im now amazed it actually finished!!!!!

70-68 to Isner!  EASY EASY EASY!!!

(http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc43/kinboshi/isner.png)

felt sorry for Mahut afterwards having to do all the parading around stuff

Haase 2-1 up in sets vs Nadal, come on Robin!

oh no, Haase 5-0 down in the 4th.

Lock for a WC next year at least.

My greatest sporting achievement ever!

Haase Nadal game was excellent to watch. Rly weird tho

John Isner just lost the first set of his second-round match 6-0 in 16 minutes.

Think he's a little fatigued.

rotflmfao

Justine Henin and Kim Clijsters meet in the next round.  Should be a corker.

FYP

Nadal under pressure losing 1-2 in sets

great match

yup, 2-1 down again. Petzschner playing great, hope he doesnt bottle it.

2-2 Cracking game going to the wire

sighh, Nadal wins in 5.

Nadal taken to 5 twice and Federer 4 and 5. Can't get them out!

Excelllant start from Murray,gogogogogo

That game to leave Murray serving for the match was some of the best tennis I've ever seen him play.  Keeps that up, and he'll have a good shout this year.

Standard set up, to actually think he has a chance before he loses in the semis obv.

Yen Hsun Lu knocks out Andy Roddick ina fifth set decider.

Guess what odds I got on Yen to win the match on match point!!!!!!!

1.82 seriously WTF

Managed to get £200 on

WWWEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeee

Wow - that is unbelievable.  Roddick didn't look like he was going to get back into the match and Lu wasn't over-awed at all on the big points.

Nice bet sir!

thats pretty sick Chris. Nice life.

The winner of the Federer v Berdych match (come on Berdy!!!) to beat Murray in the final for me.

Glad i took the 50's on Djokovic at the start now.
Been a long time since i have had a book looking as nice as this!!!

N Djokovic + £1,368.44
T Berdych + £243.40
R Soderling + £101.38
Any other + £10.00

Come on Novak!!!!

Nice book sir, very nice

mev, Hingis and Kournikova on court 2 soon in the Invitational Doubles thingy.

From what I've seen of Berdych so far, you're very shrewd here BH.

lets gogogogoo Berdy!


Oh and Nice BOK, ty.

Fed the man

Come on Fed

COME ON BIRDMAN!

Awesome set from the Berdy.

Lets go Berdy, lets go!

This is by far the hardest Tennis match I have tried to trade at Wimbledon this year.

Great to watch though!!

Novak through to the semi's  ;D

Now lets hope Berdy joins him

Just unreal Tennis in this match

so much heart both players

COME ON THE BERD!

Better for Murray if Berdych wins?  :dontask:

Berdy is going to bottle this

HE IS THE BERDDDDDDDDDDDDDDY, BOOM BOOM.

Over £20mil traded on that game alone

No wonder with these reads....



Federer missed that easy return when he played 2 great points to get to advantage.

Gr8 game.

hows this effected murrays price

Now trading as fave on Betfair @4ish, but Nadal has dropped the 1st set to Soderling as well.

OHNO @ The Fed Express derailing.

Not good news for tennis...though Soderling could now win this.

How so?

As much as I like Federer, never hurts to see a new face winning Wimbledon.

get in there murray you just saved and made me some money

in my challenge to turn my change on betfair to a seat in spanish apat event

i lost a couple of quid backing roddick to win but got on murray when he was 1 set down

now i got the roddick money back and green up no matter who wins i am not over 35% of my way to spain

norrrrrrr.

To trade or not to trade, the perennial question.

i am convinced that murray will beat nadal.

Murray watch.

Current Status = British.

:D

Too good BH,let it ride obv  ;kneelsucker;

Fed/Nadal is the only final that attracts viewers IMO...it's the main event and the one game everyone looks out for.

In the same way that noone wants to see a Ghana/Uruguay final or something like that in the footie

Yeah but a Ghana vs Brazil or Argentina type final would be good for football.

I doubt that will be the final.

The only chance of me watching the WC final is if there is a serious underdog in it like you have mentioned. I think it would be great for getting the non regular watchers of the game like me to watch.......I'd obv be supporting Ghana too.

Meh I think I'd be more pumped for like Brazil vs Argentina because of the history and how close I can see it being etc. However, having an underdog in it is great too.

Best final I've ever seen was Liverpool v West ham so I supposed Best v Underdog can make great finals but two teams at the top of there game can also make a great final.Basically I don't care who's in the final and just hope it's a good one.

Preferred Istanbul in 2005 myself ;)

Greece vs. Portugal Euro 2004. IN PORTUGAL!

100/1 outsiders.

It's close for me,I enjoyed both but it was just I expected that to be such a boring Cup final,I don't no why but I was jumping round the bar when Gerrard scored that screamer with cramp,it just epitomised everthing good about football or I maybe a secret Liverpool fan because I was dead nervous during extra time of Istanbul as I reallly wanted your lot to win,both epic finals.

Nadal 3-1 all day long

this...Nadal will beat him one handed.

Are you getting that from there record of 2-2 in grand slam matches ?

Murray will win the lot

$100?

$201?

No thanks,paiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii me you couple of grimming clowns

What time is Murray match looking to start?

Travelling up to Aberdeen from Larbert. Very tempted to just stop in Dunblane and watch it in the pub there.

You do realise there's a footie match on, no?

Tappit Hen ftw.

Might be 4pm at this rate.

I'm guessing the pubs in Dunblane will be showing the tennis Boldie.

cheers Somerled

lol...fair point, you could just ask them to change the channel no?

They'd better be! Tappit Hen serves the best ale and is just beside the Cathedral so easy to find.

Tappit Hen it is. Going to wait till he's set point down before shouting 'Come on Timmy' as loud as I can.

...unless there are bigger boys in the pub.

rotflmfao

Useless Brit

FYP.

Kidding, Nadal is just too good. Murray played well but not enough.

Dunblane are so fekkin results orientated it tilts me.

They gave up on their boy in that third set. No recognition that he did the job in the second, (apart from the doing the job part)

it got so bad Reporting Scotland wanted to talk to me at half six. i told them I wasn't from Dunblane and was unlikely to give a good interview even if I was sober never mind with a half dozen pints of ale (chz btw soberlad)
still got asked twicE coz NO ONE ELSE IN THE PUB GAVE A FUPP, EVEN AFTER MURRAY INSTABROKE; inda third

GG mURRAY
SHAME dUNBlANE

That is a shame - they can't have been REAL Dunblaners.  :)

I thought he played really well, just not as good as Nadal who was brilliant. Glad you enjoyed the ale.  :cheers:

Murray watch.

Current status = Scottish

Thing is, I'm happy that he got to the semis, I'm happy at the performance he gave. I'm proud that he can stand up with the best in the world when they're playing their best and still compete, and compete strongly. A points either way on a couple of key service games and it would be a different result.

So if he is Scottish today, we're happy to have him.  

Murray will win a slam,of that I have no doubt.He had two really good chances to win the second set but once he was two behind he was never going to comeback.

∧∧∧
Good luck to the tenacious Scotsman

Laid 2-0 and backed Zvon +5.5 games, they met 6 times before and of the 5 Serena won only 2 were straight sets and I thought Serena made some simple unforced errors in her semi to gift games

Nice, Come on Vera!

Not on, but shes won us a bit in a few matches in the torn so want her to win it all.

Plus McEnroe said he will stand on his head if Serena dosent win. I'd like to see that.

Ul with that, i take it you layed off some of it?

Wp Nadal, laid off pre final as couldnt see any way Berdy could beat the great 1.

BH laid too yeah.

shrewd moves
