5000 is wise. Only in Bogota it is recommended to pound more on Tomic (10K ++)

Does somebody know the odds of possible winners of the tournament? Can't seem to find it. Thanks in advance.

Jesus christ you guys, ease up with the numbers. When I used to do gambling I would go up to a couple of hundred dollars max. and I thought I was being crazy.

Yes because of that, in his last service game he looked exhausted and was struggling to push on his legs. We will see, it is an interesting match because usually Tsonga knows how to beat Gasquet in big matches.

Are you some kind of rich dude who can afford to just blow like 50 grand? I mean I lost 100 bucks on a bet and I feel devastated. I wish I had your kind of bankroll to be able to commit like 20 grand on bets like that.

Not a bad day, which I had your bankroll and cajones to bet that big Hell I'd make one big bet like that and then just retire from gambling forever.

Now you're just waiting to see if Berdych can pull it out over Vesely. They split the first two sets.

Ouch man. Hope you didn't watch the match.

I was going to suggest to try and pull out of that one. I wouldn't trust Halep as far as I could throw her against a top 10 ranked player. She's way too unpredictable, although which WTA player is, right? But she doesn't have much confidence, plus grass is probably her worst surface. Did you hear what she had to say about her chances of ever winning a slam? [Something about there's a lot of good players, but for me, probably not in this lifetime.]

Wimbledon bet of the day. Murray and Berdych to win in straights at 4.25 odds. Could definitely happen. Hard one. I might put $50 on it.

Lol do you really believe his stakes :D

There are some guys who are that foolish with their money, or they have so much of it they can afford to throw it away on silly bets. I wish I had that kind of wealth, but then again if I did, I certainly wouldn't be gambling with it. Probably going to put the kibosh on laying any money on bets for a while. Consider this my retirement from betting for quite a while.

4 Leg Multi on Zeballos, Albot, Gabashvili and Montanes looks to be coming in, everyone has either won or is a set up.

There is a professional bettor from Australia (Steve, his blog daily25) he plays with a 100,000 dollars bankrool, each of his bets are of 600 dollars no more no less.
Yes indeed some people bet 5,000 or 10,000 the way he is posting it is obvious to me he is taking the p-ss... :)

Won the multi and got an extra $33

Provided Martin comes good (currently a set up) I'm up to $80 which considering I started Wimby at $3 makes me pretty chuffed.

Probably going to cash most of it out and start again

Multi on Gabiashvili, Bellusci and Zeballos goes through

Have $20 on Estrella Burgos tonight and thinking of putting something down on Tiafoe but will probably abstain.

My big bets this year were on the following:

1) Djokovic to win the FO (I made this several months ago when I got close to even money odds, but not sure it would be worth it with the much lower odds at this point) and
2) Raonic to win on Wimbledon or the USO

My thinking if that if Djokovic wins the FO, which clearly I think he will, he'll be understandably overjoyed, but this will reduce his motivation for the next few months and probably cause a letdown for him at the Slams not long after. Federer and Nadal will both not be 100% for the next few months and will be very beatable for a player like Raonic, while Murray has never been a particularly hard matchup for Milos and should be beatable at the faster Slams.

Either way, for the above reasons I really see Wimbledon and/or the USO being open for a relative underdog to emerge and claim the title. Whether it will be Milos or whether he can stay healthy enough to do it is something I'm much less sure about, but at the current odds I think he's worth a play.

Anyone have other sleeper picks for the Final 2 Slams of the year?

So far, so good....I still think Milos has a much better chance against Murray than most people give him credit for. He had a very real chance to beat him at both the AO and Queen's, this could be a very close match.

Good selection, but I avoid betting in challengers as much as I can. The amount of fixed matches go beyond my patience limit.

To go with your heart and Fognini to win his DC rubber or go with your head and stay far away from him :(

Haven't gone near anything since the Challengers - still waiting for the right stuff to come along.

Odds on Anderson to beat Wawrinka - 3.00 compared to 1.40 for Wawa. Worth the risk? Here's their history:

wawrinka.jpg

Anderson has really had his number in 2014-2015. He can be excused for losing to Wawrinka so badly after playing an absolutely brilliant match against Murray to take him down in the previous round in a 4 hour match of great attacking tennis.

Anderson is coming back from an injury so his form is shaky but Wawrinka is shaky by default.

I'll just say this: After the Stanimal Delpo debacle at Wimbledon a few weeks ago, I wouldn't put any money on a Stanimal match, even if someone handed me a large sum of money and told me to do it.

Also, Kevin Anderson has had an injury riddled season and has not played many matches. So, whatever you chose to do with your money is your business. But don't say I didn't warn you.
