To repeat the epic results of last year when I tipped up Berdych to trade @ 65.0 (he made the final and was 3.2) and Berdych v Nadal final @ 80s (winner :)) seems impossible at this stage. I was just saying to Linux that theres a possibility that I won't have a big outright bet for the first slam in years. I've got this on Del Potro: Juan Martin Del Potro 34.98 £50.93 £1,730.51 But then I laid off at: Juan Martin Del Potro 29.8 £50.00 £1,440.07 for a £300 freeroll as after watching him in the preparatory grass tournaments I'm just not convinced he can adapt well to the surface and has no sort of record at Wimbledon in the past. He might win the US Open but will be short enough. Anyway, as I was saying, at this stage its really waiting for the draw, I'm really not sure who is going to win. Nadal wasn't good at Queens but you can forgive that as he was tired and has disappointed there in the past and gone on to win Wimbledon but all season really upto the French Open he hasn't looked like the Nadal of 2010. Losing to Davydenko and Ferrer then all those losses to Djokovic then going 2-1 down to Isner at the French then struggling against Andujar. Federer has been in steady decline for 2 years now and hasn't won a slam in that period. He looked a lot better at the French and is great on grass and I'd love him to do it but 5/2 when he lost to Berdych and Hewitt on grass last year and hasn't looked like winning a slam for a couple of years, really? Djokovic has never looked like making a Wimbledon final. Obviously hes been a different player this season but is his net play really up there at the top top with the other principles which is so important at Wimbledon, I'm not sure. If I absolutely had to have a bet it would probably be him at the prices but doesn't exactly make mass appeal at 4.7. And Murray will no doubt bottle it in a grand slam semi final vs Nadal, Federer or Djokovic. I nearly backed him a few weeks ago @ 11.0 but didn't bother and now hes 7.6 after winning queens and only really beat a constantly crippled Roddick and an inconsistent Tsonga. So its wait for the draw time. You might think what I've said about the big 4 means there might be some value in outsiders. But who? Berdych and Soderling have been nowhere near their 2009-10 form this year, Roddick has gone at the game, Raonic and Isner could go a long way but are all serve and its not 1998, Tsonga and Gasquet will entertain and threaten but ultimately not deliver.

Used to play as a kid and was alright. Not really played much since I was 13 (10 yrs ago) but fancy getting back into it. Was looking for a racket and the grips come in different sizes. Is it mad that I watched some video on youtube and think an L2 grip is for me? Always had a Prince racket so was going to pay some mad amount for one then thought it could easily only last one Summer so is it worth it. Any of these cheaper options look any good?

Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Nakor on June 16, 2011, 01:03:32 PM I assume STOSUR [10] and BARTOLI [9] have slogged round the world countless weeks trying to achieve a decent ranking and they get bumped from the top 8 for a woman that has played once in year - I would be well impressed.

Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Snowball on June 19, 2011, 12:41:50 AM 4/1 the big 4 to make the semis looks a bit big
Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Josedinho on June 19, 2011, 01:03:43 AM 4/1 the big 4 to make the semis looks a bit big Where's 4/1. I've only seen 9/4Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Horneris on June 19, 2011, 02:35:10 AM I've spent some time studying the draw and had some very small bets on a variety of things.
This year tho my focus will be very much on trading individual matches. Mens Outright I've decided that the most likely winner is Novak Djokovic. This is the one title he has always said he dreams about winning and I think he has a great chance this year. He has had an amazing year beating Nadal 4 times in a row and winning 40 odd matches in a row but just ran out of steam in the French and the burden of his run started to get to him. Hes had some time off and has been over here on the practice courts and relaxing in his rented house with his girlfriend for weeks. I think he is ready. His draw is a walk in the park to the semis. Sadly his current price doesn't appeal hugely @ 7/2 with his Wimbledon and overall grass court record in comparison to the other 3 members of the big 4. I think he can do it but think only 9/2 would represent value. If he drifts further out to this price on betfair (currently 5.1) I will have to get involved. The 2 I am going to try and get deepish & trade are Tomas Berdych (again!) & Richard Gasquet. Berdych has not had a good year to say the least but I'm hoping a return to the scene of his greatest triumph 12 months ago can re-vitalise him and his draw is really good to the quarters. 90s is too big. He is likely to face Volandri - Benneteau - Chela - Verdasco/Kohlschreiber. Nadal to prove a stumbling block of epic proportions in the quarters but he himself won't find it too easy with likely encounters against Raonic and Del Potro and I've said in this thread already that the great Spaniard doesn't convince me 100% atm. Gasquet will find it a whole lot harder to make it to the quarters. He has to face Wawrinka in a likely 3rd round tie but Wawrinka had a shocker at Queens losing in straights to James Ward. More worrying though is a 4th round encounter against none other than Andy Murray. This is the game i'm expecting my trade to boil down to. And obviously Murray will be a big favourite. Gasquet is good on grass though and has always had so much talent and began to show his best at the Monte Carlo Masters this year and both times he has faced Murray on grass it has gone to 5 sets. Its unlikely but if he is to creep past Murray the quarter final of someone like Lopez/Roddick/Karlovic looks easy enough. 233s is a touch of value. Bets Tomas Berdych 90 £40.11 £3,569.79 Richard Gasquet 233.89 £20.00 £4,657.70 Womens Outright My knowledge of the womens game is not upto the standard of my knowledge of the mens game. I do know a bit tho and along with a friend we fancy Andrea Petkovic to go a long way with the draw she has. 60s is far too big to trade with a nice path through to the semis. She is mentally tough unlike so many on the WTA tour and has a few wins on grass. The new favourite Maria Sharapova ( 5.8 ) has an absolute dream run through to the final! She faces likely match ups against Wozniacki in the quarters and Lisicki/Li/S.Williams/Bartoli in the semis. It really is a great draw and the only person who can stop her is herself. Sadly she often does and she can't really be trusted. Because of this lack of trust I refuse to lump on @ 5.8 and instead will double her up with Djokovic @ 25s ish and include her in a name the finalists bet. Another player I want to talk about is Serena Williams. I think its so tough to come back from a year off where she had major issues like a possible life threatening illness and make a big impact. She didn't look convincing at Eastbourne and you could forgive her that but I think she could suffer an early defeat and 12/1 is a massive price for a 2nd round defeat in the stage of elimination betting were a likely match up with the promising youngster Bojana Jovanovski awaits. I would make Jovanovski 5/1 here at worst and I would probably back her at that so to get 12s is great. Worst comes to the worst and she loses in the 1st round to Simona Halep, I still wouldn't make Halep 12/1 v this Serena, more like 7/1, 8/1. There is no downside to this punt as surely Serena can't lose in the 1st round to Aravane Rezai who herself lost 6-2 6-1 to Britain's Elena Baltacha last week on grass. I don't think Ironside would lose 6-2 6-1 to Elena Baltacha. Bets Andrea Petkovic 59.53 £40.00 £2,341.20 Sharapova/Petkovic Name The Finalists £20 @ 45/1 (Bet365) Sharapova/Djokovic Wimbledon Winners DBL £40 @ 24/1 (Betfred) Serena Williams Stage of Elimination 2nd Round £30 @ 12/1 (Bet365) Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Snowball on June 19, 2011, 12:41:48 PM 4/1 the big 4 to make the semis looks a bit big Where's 4/1.

Was going to edit them at the end of the day and post the final day's profit/loss along with tomorrow's bets in a new post. I'll post them now instead if it's an issue. I also will look to trade IR and don't want to be accused of after-timing etc, but I'll post my picks anyway as I'm happy to stand by them. Quote Unfortunately due to the shit weather that's expected, the card for monday is unlikely to be completed. That said, I will be betting on the following: I will use 20 quid bets as my base unit so if I put (2) next to it I'm making it 40 quid etc. Stepanek @ 2.5 v Verdasco Ljubicic @2.28 v Cilic Riba @7.6 v Haase Kavcic @ 2.52 v Kamke Bemelmans @ 2.81 v Benneteau - LOST -20 Istomin @ 4.5 v Kohlscreiber - WON +70 Kubot @ 2.04 v Clement MJMS @ 3.5 v Jankovic Kanepi @ 1.8 (2) v Errani - LOST -40 Zahlavova @ 3.1 v Benesova Martic @ 1.92 v King Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: craigbetts on June 20, 2011, 08:05:09 PM Just lol at Andy Murray's 1st round match, a game he should win with his eyes closed and hes having to give it the tiger roars! His temperament is tez, I expect him to fall at the 4th hurdle!
The grass always looks nice on day 1, a little slippy though. Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Horneris on June 20, 2011, 10:56:49 PM Made a decent start. Got involved on Istomin to beat Kohlschreiber @ 4.8 and then followed up with Chela to beat Matosevic @ 2.28. I couldn't believe the price on Chela. Okay, so he hates grass and has won on it like three times life time but he has more talent in his little finger than Matosevic has in his whole body.
Only got up at 11.50 but will try and post some thoughts on matches 2moro if I get up earlier. Surprised Murray lost a set to Gimeno Traver, hes awful, but its not the end of the world. Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: crip17 on June 21, 2011, 01:11:38 AM Djorkovic has always been a fan of mine but i feel federer will be ready to doing everything it takes to make his 6th title. Na Li @10.5 is a steal as long as shes not too tired from her win in france on a surface that she considered her weakest.

Happy with getting Istomin, very disappointed with Kanepi and Bemelmans threatened an awesome comeback from 2 sets down but run out of gas in the fifth. Kavcic is two sets down but 5-1 up in the third so the rain delay couldn't have come at a much worse time for me there. Kubot is 5-4 up serving for the set, Ljubo is 1 set all in a super tight match with Cilic; Zahlavova is a break up but it's only 2-1 and it's the WTA so it means feck all whilst Riba is a 5-4 down with Haase serving for the set. Could turn out to have been a good day, whilst at the same time it could be pretty poor. We'll see. Today's action: Berlocq @ 3.3 v K Beck Tipsarevic @ 2.3 v Karlovic - hope the extra day's rest will have helped here Gabashvili @ 2.8 v Andreev Montanes @ 3.3 v Seppi Nishikori @ 2.26 v Hewitt Doi @ 6 v Mattek Sands If I see anything else I like will edit the post later.

Stepanek lost having been 2 sets up 9-7 in the fifth, Zahlavova lost 8-6 in the third, Berlocq lost in the fifth having been 2-1 up. Bleh. Edit: Gabashvili loses in 5. Almost a whitewash second day, very frustrating, but if both Gabashvili and Berlocq win in 5 rather than lose in 5 I'm in profit.

After his blow up in the Eastbourne last weekend, it would have been difficult for him to get himself into the right state of mind, extra day rest or not. He deserved a first round exit after his pathetic hissy fit and eventual withdrawal when Seppi was 15-0 up and serving for the title.

Just felt with the extra days rest that he might be able to take the time to clear his head. I agree what he did was pretty disgusting and a shame for Seppi given it was to be his first ATP title, but Tipsarevic has a good grass court game and I felt if he was right mentally that he was overpriced. Would seem that wasn't to be the case but you live and learn.

No problem, you tend to find with Wimbledon that far too often players are massively overpriced for no obvious reason. Mattek Sands for example had zero preparation on grass whilst Doi had played 3 qualies - I think stuff like that makes a huge difference. It certainly meant I thought she was far too overpriced at 1.16 or whatever it was. I think for tomorrow if I was to offer one decent value bet I'd take Lu to beat Troicki. He's massive value at around 4.1 or so. Good luck. Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: ACE2M on June 22, 2011, 10:11:37 PM i followed your pick on Doi, thanks for that.

But she does that against Sharapova and she won't get the chances she got today to get back into the match. Still think she's going to be challenging for the title two or three years down the line.

I just break even every day, two small steps forward then one big step back. Today I won on Lu, Lisicki and am poised to take down my biggest bet on Andreev. I had a lot of losers aswell though, Tanasugarn, Zahlavova Styrcoza and failed trading attempts on the side of Seppi a set and a break down against Baggy and Garcia Lopez 2 sets down against Beck. Tomorrow its a bit lower key. I think Petrova is too short against Bondarenko and will certainly be looking at laying the 2-0 Petrova at around the 4/5 mark and possibly the match odds too. Not sure Murray should be odds on to win 3-0 against Ljubo although might instead look at 3-1 @ 3/1. And gotta continue to go after Roddick who I still think is gone at the game. His serve is still very good but not quite as good as it used to be and his groundstrokes have lot a lot of power. Lopez has played really well first couple of rounds but obvious concern is Roddick's defeat of him at Queens and the 7-0 H2H record. Might have to stick with my opinion and take 4.2+ on betfair tho. Other 2 of interest are Pironkova and Simon both at around the 7/2 mark but the strength of Delpo and Zvonny makes me very reluctant and not sure i'll get involved.

Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Horneris on June 25, 2011, 12:02:15 AM No worries mate, I took care of business with 2 winners/3 @ 4.2 and 3/1.
Maybe we can join forces tomorrow. Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Solaris on June 25, 2011, 12:27:37 AM No worries mate, I took care of business with 2 winners/3 @ 4.2 and 3/1. Maybe we can join forces tomorrow. Good work. Had Lopez myself. Like you didn't like the 7-0 h2h but Roddick is dog shit atm and should retire soon before he slips even further down the rankings. Tomorrow: Kubot @ 4 v Monfils (match already started, 1-1 in sets 3 all in games) Lu @ 3.1 v Llodra Haase @ 3.8 v Fish Almagro @ 2.26 v Youzhny Czink @ 3.5 v Peng Will post more tomorrow potentially. Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Horneris on June 25, 2011, 02:14:11 AM I can't have Kubot at all. Monfils has so much talent. If he wants it even a little bit he should be able to wrap it up in 4.
Lu every chance if Llodra drops his 1st serve % a bit, Haase very good price but I have Fish for Top American @ 6/1 and if he went out this round I would be involved in a 5 way dead heat (if he goes through I win) so I have to stick with him. I would make Haase about a 2/1 shot tho so 3.8 big value. My best bets for tomorrow are Simon @ 4.0 against Del Potro (currently locked at 0-1 4-2). Simon was largely giving him the run around but not taking chances today and having read Del Potro's interview transcripts this week it seems he is using this tournament for grass court practice for the future years and says he is "slowly" getting back to fitness. Price is too big. Fancy Soderling to murder Tomic. Tomic is over-rated, he just plops the ball back. Hopefully Soderlings not in one of his funny moods and he can dispatch of the young Aussie fairly easily. I would rather go the game handicap than the set betting of 3-0 as he could throw a wobbly one set then come back and piss the next. -7.5 Alternative Handicap is 7/4 with Paddy Power, seems a good price. I have to agree with Solaris that Almagro is a bet @ 2.26 vs Youzhny. I know his grass court record is woeful but its a new Almagro this last year, year and a half and hes been very impressive in his opening rounds. Youzhny always likes to exit Wimbledon at about this round, i'd actually make Almagro very marginal fav, he strikes the ball so cleanly from both sides. Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Solaris on June 25, 2011, 08:29:13 AM I can't have Kubot at all. Monfils has so much talent. If he wants it even a little bit he should be able to wrap it up in 4. But for how long have we been saying that? He's never once looked like taking out a top, top player in a 5 set match (unless you think beating Ferrer counts?) and his inconsistent nature is his downfall. For me with Kubot already having won a set added to the fact he is a big server, he represents real value at 4. It would only take him knicking the third set with Monfils starting slowly or taking it on the tb and his odds will plummet. If nothing else that makes him a potentially very good trading bet. For me with Lu having beaten Troicki so comfortably and when you consider he has some decent past results (knocked out Roddick last year etc) I make him very good value at his current price. I think Llodra will have to be on top serving form in order to progress. It's worth noting that Llodra has never been beyond the second round at Wimbledon. Haase is more of a value play. Fish was very clinical at the end of each set vs Istomin and is rightly the favourite here but having watched Haase I feel he's overpriced. I wouldn't be surprised to see Fish win in 3, but that's not the point, I'm seeking value and Haase is definitely it at 3.8. I agree with everything you said about Almagro. That match will be the best of the day imo. Two real fighters and one super classy technician in Almagro. Can't wait to watch that.

Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Horneris on June 25, 2011, 05:46:00 PM He keeps indicating he can't see properly, we now hear hes been on the toilet all morning with diarrhoea and hes just had treatment for cramping and aching legs.
Please just fkin retire so I get my money back. Its a shame Tomic is so bad or i'm sure he would. Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Horneris on June 25, 2011, 07:22:06 PM Hands up, I got that one pretty wrong. I think even if Soderling was fully fit with the performance Tomic put on it would've been a close affair.
Had a really bad day, after yesterday and Fish completing the job It was beginning to look like a decent tournament but back to evenish and the drawing board again now.

Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Solaris on June 26, 2011, 12:21:17 AM Got my trousers taken down today unfortunately...
Kubot saved me really and as a result I was only 1 betting unit down. Llodra took Lu to the cleaners in a very impressive manner. I thought it'd be a tight affair but he blew him away so I have to hold my hands up to getting that very wrong. Unfortunately Almagro lost the crucial 4th set TB and never really recovered. Fair play to Youzhny though, he's had an awful year thus far so beating Almagro who is in good form was a good result for him and Haase retired for reasons I'm still unaware of, though I've yet to research it properly. No play tomorrow, because the organisers at Wimbledon are snooty wankers. See you all Monday. 8) Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Solaris on June 26, 2011, 10:37:02 PM Monday's action:
Malisse - 3.5 games @ 1.96 v Tomic Tie-break in Malisse-Tomic match - NO @ 2.52 Gasquet most aces @2.78 Gasquet + 4.5 games @ 2.24 v Murray Berdych - 4.5 games @ 2 v Fish Berdych 3-0 @ 3.5 Pironkova @ 3.1 v V Williams Pironkova 2-0 @ 5.7 Pervak - Paszek - Over 22.5 Games @ 2.14 Had a decent first week. Been about 12 months since I bet on tennis properly, so I was glad things went well. Today's bets are a variety of set betting, handicaps and a couple of outright match wins. As a result I wouldn't particularly suggest following any of them, I'm just experimenting to see how accurate my handicapping is. The day could end up being a whitewash I'm really not sure. I'll add more later on depending on when I get my lazy arse up. Good luck. Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: redarmi on June 27, 2011, 11:55:18 AM Gasquet seems fair value at 3/1 to win today to me.

Of the four games only Federer has an outstanding record against his opponent. Del Potro has beaten Nadal a fair bit recently and Murray is 2-2 versus Gasquet and was 2 sets down in both his victories whilst Djokovic had a tough game to beat Bagdhatis. Obv probably will win but I am not sure I would take 11/10 nevermind 10/11.

Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Dubai on June 27, 2011, 01:16:51 PM No real opinion but generally in markets that look like everyone will want to buy its probably a sell automatically- the line will be slightly artificially high as companies know the punters will be buyers.

Yes, definitely generally true. I just can't see Murray demolishing Gasquet and the upside seems well worth it.

Tempted to sell @ 255. Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Solaris on June 27, 2011, 02:46:37 PM What the fuck is Gasquet doing? Unbelievable. He truly is an absolute coward.

Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: sweet potata! on June 27, 2011, 03:09:51 PM What the fuck is Gasquet doing? Unbelievable. He truly is an absolute coward. I think Murray is just better than him, no? Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: MereNovice on June 27, 2011, 03:11:01 PM Murray watch - Current Status = British. Becoming more British every minute. Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: MereNovice on June 27, 2011, 03:11:32 PM Serena Williams just lost to Marion Bartoli - that will shake the women's tournament winner market up.
Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Solaris on June 27, 2011, 03:19:09 PM What the fuck is Gasquet doing? Unbelievable. He truly is an absolute coward. I think Murray is just better than him, no? He is, but it doesn't help when your letting your volleys sit up to someone who is one of the best passers in the game on the run. He's making more and more unforced errors and he's hitting the ball shorter and shorter. I'm glad Murray's won, but I'd have like to have seen Richard Gasquet at his absolute best as this would have been a cracking match. Well done to Murray though, very impressive stuff and it looks like he'll be facing the Pole, Kubot, in the next round. Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: MereNovice on June 27, 2011, 03:19:39 PM Murray v Gasquet.
177 points played. Shucks, I should have sold. I'm going to stick to watching the women. Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Solaris on June 27, 2011, 03:55:32 PM Wozniacki in huge trouble on court two. A break down in the final set (3-2 down) having been 2-0 up...
Might be yet another grand slam in which she departs early despite being the world number one. Shows just how poor the woman's game is right now. Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: kinboshi on June 27, 2011, 04:24:02 PM Before now, neither Williams sister has ever gone out in the 4th round (20 matches total I think they said).
Looks like they're going to demolish that record this year. Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Solaris on June 27, 2011, 04:29:20 PM Before now, neither Williams sister has ever gone out in the 4th round (20 matches total I think they said). Looks like they're going to demolish that record this year. I fooking hope so, got Pironkova to win and to win 2-0 in sets. Still this is the WTA so anything can happen... Wozniacki is out. Means my 3 outright picks have all gone out before the quarters. Epic fail. Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Nico29 on June 27, 2011, 04:43:08 PM I must say I really haven't given Tomic too much credit up until now, but this is extremely impressive.

Somehow the match bet on her you were advising seems to have disappeared. You can't just edit out the losers! :) Edit- Just realised how bitchy this sounded, wasn't meant to be, was just surprised you took down yr bet, presume u changed yr mind on it. Been very impressed with both yours and horneris knowledge of the game this comp, and i've made a few quid backing some of yr selections. Keep up the good work, great result with the bet against venus.

Edit: Just saw your edit. No worries, I didn't take the comment badly, if anything I'm glad you brought it up, I wouldn't want anyone to think I was deceiving them. I've had good and bad days so far during the Championships but would never intentionally leave out a loser as losing days happen, you have to get over it. Has to be said as well that the Pervak match was fooking annoying. She blew a bunch of bps in the last set. Standard WTA I'm afraid. Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: redarmi on June 27, 2011, 09:07:57 PM il have a small bet at 5-6 with u if u want to lay it, nothing big just for fun, whatever you are comfortable with Sure - 60 to win 50 is fine. yeah cool, bet on Stars Okay Dave? Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Dubai on June 27, 2011, 09:40:17 PM yeah nps, bit ul with Nadal, Del Potro had his chances
Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: redarmi on June 27, 2011, 09:48:33 PM Yeah - thought nadal was a massive price in running on BF. Markets always seem to overreact to injuries to me.

Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Dubai on June 27, 2011, 10:08:23 PM cheers, what price he go? Was out when game was on
Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: redarmi on June 27, 2011, 10:09:26 PM When he hurt his foot he was as big as evens and even after winning the tiebreak you could bet him at 2/5 when he was a set up.
Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Dubai on June 27, 2011, 10:11:23 PM what price at 1-1, i said 2-5/2-1 then to my brother
Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Josedinho on June 27, 2011, 10:16:37 PM Worried he can't play the rest of the tourny now? Looked okay at the end of the match to me.
Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Dubai on June 27, 2011, 10:21:05 PM I thought Murray was amazing in 3rd set and is surely way overpriced at 13-2- its the opposite of the old fashioned English affect, now days everyone thinks the "English are underpriced" and lay them, plus everyone hates him- probably automatically makes him a bet

Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: redarmi on June 27, 2011, 10:40:08 PM what price at 1-1, i said 2-5/2-1 then to my brother Not 100% certain but I think he was as big as 1.88 but settled at 1.63ish. Certainly bigger than 1.50 Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Waz1892 on June 28, 2011, 12:08:47 AM backed Azarenka in the womans @ 6.5-1
Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Horneris on June 28, 2011, 01:06:12 AM Outrights all pretty much down at this stage. Berdych and Gasquet fading away tamely after promising opening rounds (neither losing a set) saw their odds chopped in half.
Tomorrow I fancy Bartoli to beat Lisicki @ EVS with Stan James. And I had a sneaky wager last week on Cibulkova to win her quarter @ 20s so am praying for her to beat Maria. Shes a real pocket rocket, I wouldn't say i'm confident but i'm certainly hopeful. She fkin smacks it and if shes on a day where they go in like she was today then you never know. Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: MereNovice on June 28, 2011, 08:16:45 AM what price at 1-1, i said 2-5/2-1 then to my brother Not 100% certain but I think he was as big as 1.88 but settled at 1.63ish. Certainly bigger than 1.50 Nadal was at least 2.4 (i.e. 7/5) on Betfair when he tweaked his ankle. Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Solaris on June 28, 2011, 10:19:43 AM No bets for me at Wimbledon today. I have an OK knowledge of the women's game, but it's not enough to give me a reason to have a bet today. I'm not one for betting simply because there's an event to bet on. Think I'll just enjoy perving on Sharapova and Lisicki.
Good luck to all having a bet. Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: George2Loose on June 28, 2011, 10:56:05 AM Im on the chick who's playing Sharapova. One time B Ho

What a touch in waiting for the winning player! True class, I doubt the Scot would have done the same. Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: mondatoo on June 29, 2011, 04:32:49 PM Fed never adapted to the bang of Tsonga, where was the change of game plan?

Great performance from Tsonga. Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: TightEnd on June 29, 2011, 04:45:50 PM £8m went on Federer at between 1.01 and 1.1 after 2 sets, I think I just read.

Talk about fine margins...could never see Federer losing having been 2-0 up. He was also ahead on aces count after 2 sets, but lost 18-17. Feels like the only bet I truly lost is the NO TB break as I'd have expected Federer to close that match out 3-0 all day long mean the handicap, 3-0 set bet and the aces count were all likely to have come through. Bit stunned by that I must admit! Rafa turning the screw atm and I expect he will close the set out meaning I lost the Fish handicap bet by 1 game. Still, had to expect a day in which I lost a decent amount, just frustrating given how close it all was. Profit + 155 I need to subtract a few quid as I've made a few bets on Betfair over the course of the championship. I will do all that at the end. Think off the top of my head profit's still around +147 atm. Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: mondatoo on June 30, 2011, 12:40:27 PM I'm surprised Nadal's as big as 8/15 to win tmoro, due to his niggling injury I assume but seems a bit big to me, valuuuooooooooo ??

Yeah I looked at that also, might have to get on. Tsonga has a 5-2 record vs Djokovic. Djokovic's weakest surface is grass. Nadal's whinging about a so-called injury whilst Murray is playing excellently. Couldn't think of a worse bet to make personally. Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Josedinho on June 30, 2011, 10:53:57 PM I've got a "no lose" £10 bet with betfair so stuck it on Tsonga 3-0

The Maria/Novak dbl is still alive! Going to be tough 2mo though, depends if Tsonga can play like he did for the last 3 sets vs Fed obviously. Wouldnt like to pick a winner out of Nadal and Murray, if i had to it would be Nadal because, well cos its Nadal. Murray is playing class atm though and wouldnt be a surprise to see him win though. COME ON NOVAK!! Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Horneris on June 30, 2011, 11:16:14 PM Expect to see the final being Nadal v Tsonga and the winner being Nadal.

Helluva tie break.
Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: kinboshi on July 01, 2011, 03:50:51 PM Great set of tennis. Tsonga needs to reduce the unforced errors, but I guess Djokovic is relentless and that's why the errors come.

GTFI!
Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: mondatoo on July 02, 2011, 12:25:02 AM Everyone talks about Henman choking but I think that's horlicks. Henman achieved the most of what he was capable of, and made a decent career of it, he was never going to be at the top level and wp him for doing his best.
Murray though is frustrating as fk, people wll say the same old shit, he choked, he's not good enough etc etc. Imo this is bs, the whole "choking" concept pisses me off. No doubt for me Murray has the skills to win a slam, he's proven in the slams he's good enough to beat anyone. Mentally though he is an amateur, and there's a difference between not being mentally tough and choking, you can't choke if the winning line wasn't even in site and today at no point was there a case of Murray being in site of winning the match. He did however have a chance to get a strangle hold on the match, he didn't choke when he missed the simple forehand to get 2 break points when it was 2-1 in the second, at that point he was flying, confidence and self belief where sky high, but he simply messed up the shot, as every single player on the tour will do many many times at any stage of a match. As soon as he did miss it though and Nadal held his serve I thought he'd lose his next service game and if he did the match was over. But if that had've been any of the other top players, and I don't just mean the top 3, I would've expected them to forget about the missed opportunity and focus on the rest of a set they where very much still in. Murray needs to do a lot of work on the mental side of his game, and if he doesn't, then those who constantly say he'll never win a slam will disappointingly probably be correct. He basically missed one small opportunity and went on massive tilt and spewed off the very good chance that he had, such a waste. I still believe he will win at least one slam, but my belief in that has wained a lot and the problem is I believe it has for him too. Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Horneris on July 02, 2011, 12:43:09 AM I hope he does it one day, he deserves it for all his hard work and talent.
Hes playing good tournaments, hes just unfortuante atm that Rafa and Nole are just beyond sick. Come on Maria and Nole! Give me one winner at least. Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: mondatoo on July 02, 2011, 12:52:01 AM I hope he does it one day, he deserves it for all his hard work and talent. Hes playing good tournaments, hes just unfortuante atm that Rafa and Nole are just beyond sick. Come on Maria and Nole! Give me one winner at least. He could've won today if he didn't lose his head, Rafa didn't play that great for the first set and a half and if Murray had've kept going in the 2nd set he could've kept forcing Nadal into mistakes like he had been doing. Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: craigbetts on July 02, 2011, 01:00:31 AM I really thought Tiger Tim made the most of his game, once a year the masses would roll out the fist pump and they would happily cheer him until the semi finals or before his early exit. No idea why, though I was a Rusedeski fan!
As for Murray, yes hes a much better all round player, who can compete with the best on his day. The ability to string a championship together eludes and will always be a step away as long as there are the three better players out there. Temperament is huge whilst on court and as things stand Murray is moons behind...Add into the mix that Murray has the ability to fall at any hurdle, the opportunity for him to win a slam is slim. Tour events prove more fruitful as he often only has to beat one of the three superior players and the surface suits his game in addition to the lack of pressure. As long as there is Rafa, Novak, a competiting Roger and whoever is upcoming I just can not see it, although the media will sell the 'theres always next year' bandwagon. Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: ChipRich on July 02, 2011, 05:33:54 AM COME ON MARIA!!

Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Solaris on July 02, 2011, 03:37:45 PM Brilliant from Kvitova. Utterly dominated Sharapova.
Says a lot about the poor quality in women's tennis that she even made the final tbh. Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Josedinho on July 03, 2011, 10:49:01 AM Anyone care to take a guess what odds Novak would be if he goes a set down today?
Thinking of laying of my Nadal to win bet but thinking of betting on Novak to win the first set instead of outright. It's shorter odds but means I would then freeroll the Nadal win if Novak won the first set. If he lost it then can back Novalk outright but wanted to know what odds to expect. Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: craigbetts on July 03, 2011, 02:11:05 PM I fancy a five set classic! This is the main event of the weekend, though I have not caught up with Faber v Cruz so may be wrong!
Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Graham C on July 03, 2011, 02:14:38 PM Rory's got a nice life. Was at Wimbledon for a Murray match earlier in the week. Front row at the boxing last night and back at Wimbledon today for the final.
Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: craigbetts on July 03, 2011, 03:17:53 PM Andrew Castle GTFO! Every pundit barring Tiger Tim, in the beebs tennis team went for Rafa before the match and most had Novak winnning about 4 games. Now the voice of charismaticless tennis chirps up, those in the tennis world knew this would not be one sided to Rafa. Get your story sorted and piss off back to the morning sofa! Now muting and putting the wireless on!
Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: sovietsong on July 03, 2011, 04:19:19 PM Took a bit of 9/2 on nadal! Come on you handsome man!!
Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Horneris on July 03, 2011, 04:58:34 PM Hope you got on and got paid Stu.
About the only thing I got right this tournament, class Nole, just the best atm. Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Solaris on July 03, 2011, 07:02:04 PM Outrights: Djokovic @ 4 £100 - WON +300 Wozniacki @ 11s £50 - LOST Zvonareva @ 20s £50 - LOST Pavlyuchenkova @ 50s £50 - LOST -150 Good luck all. Weeeeee, good binkage imo. Total profit/loss for Wimbledon: +294.6 (after commission etc) Been about 18 months since I started to bet again on tennis regularly, so very, very happy with the end result. Making nearly 15 betting units is a decent achievement. Were I to make 150 quid every week we'd be looking at 7.8k total profit in a year, which with bets of 20 quid at a time would be pretty awesome - but at the same time I realise I'll have my downturns! Wish I'd have made a big bet on Kvitova in the final, but there's no point having regrets. I was considering making a separate betting thread in order to carry on with my tennis bets, but I'm not sure it'd interest many so I'm undecided on that. Well done to all of you who made profit this week. Title: Re: Wimbledon with Horneris Post by: Josedinho on July 04, 2011, 12:23:58 AM WP Mr Horner and Solaris
Bit gutting after I managed to get my desired sweat on Nadal winning after the joker won the first set.
