Aussie Open Round 4

[kegray1]

Ok it has been a solid tournament for me if I would have steered clear fo prop plays:
Current status:
2010 Aussie Plays
6-5 men's mostly dogs for a +357.50
0-3 Prop play -308
0-1 women's play -100
1-0 parlay +101
Total +50.50

Future Pending:
FED TO MAKE SEMI'S(-140) for 140 wins 100.
NADAL TO MAKE SEMI's(-111) for 111 wins 100.

Got a few tonight as the time has come for Dr. Ivo to call it a tournament.

PARLAY:
Nadal over Karlovic
Murray over Isner
del Potro over Cilic
Federer over Hewitt(Sun)
100 wins 122

Only one that scares me is the obvious one of del Potro as he has been very shaky which is why these odds are this low. He should be able to get this one though.

Straight Play:
Fernando Gonzalez(+250) over A-Rod. for 50 wins 125. Roddick just doesn't do it for me.

Nadal(-5 games)(-110) over Karlovic for 110 wins 100.

Murray takes the 1st set in a absolute war.

For those that are not watching, here it is:

[kegray1]

Is somebody gonna break in this thing??
15 games and no break.

 

[kickserv]

Should I take Isner at 40-1 live betting??.....Should be easy for him to win 3 straight setskurby

 

[kegray1]

This has been a war as Isner has been very game but he got broke and it cost him the 2nd set.
Murray is on his game today.

 

[kickserv]

So I take it that's a no:142smilie

Well he can't break no matter what Murray spots him. :shrug:

Isner not tired but he looking frustrated.

 

[kegray1]

Well I think the writing is on the wall now as Isner just got broke.
Those live odds should be about a 1000-1 now.

Someone talk me out of taking Cilic over DelPotro.


My mathematical numbers have this one at Cilic +132 and anything over that is +BE (and Ive got a slow book paying out over 160!)

 

[kegray1]

Well del Potro has been getting by is the best way to put it.
I thought Wawrinka was gonna beat Cilic last round and would have had he not had blisters out the wazzu on his feet.
It is a del Potro with a questionable body vs Cilic with a questionable ability this deep in a tourney.

I still like del Potro, but might have to sweat it out.

 

[kegray1]

Maybe it is just me but I think Gonzalez is a better dog and even better odds than Cilic.
I just don't trust Roddick and that one trick pony of a big serve.
If he is not getting that 1st serve in then he is toast. He is no lock even if he is getting it in.

Shane Carwin and Andy Roddick playing doubles together would be a nightmare for kegray.

Two guys that are top 10 in the world yet kegray thinks they suck:mj07:

Remind me what major Roddick has won in the last 6 years.

 

[kegray1]

And Roddick and Carwin are very much one in the same in that they are both one trick ponies.
Put your money where your mouth is if you want to drop 300 to win 100 on Roddick here.

 

[kickserv]

Oh so you have to win a major or you suck.....

Ok gotcha....man tough room:142smilie

Point is Roddick finds a way to lose all the time and not just against Fed or Nadal.

 

[kegray1]

That said Roddick is 7-2 lifetime vs Gonzalez with 5 in a row so Gonzalez may be in trouble so went light.
Banking on a choke job out of Roddick.
If Roddick serves well then this is probably a 3 setter.

And some A-hole is talking trash about GSP's acting in the General Forum. :142smilie

 

[kegray1]

ESPN coverage sucks. Sit around and talk for 15 minutes while Nadal is playing.
What the hell?????

I mean can see online so no big deal but this lame.

 

[kickserv]

That is USA sports coverage.......any other country would just show the fucking matches. But we will show the Williams sisters in doubles. Same old shit.

Even worse in the Olympics.....all for pumping up your own athletes, but show the fucking events. USA Olympic coverage they talk about Americans and then show shit on tape delay, fucking pathetic.

Also, love when pathetic chicks are getting destroyed and ya got a men's match battling at 4-4 in the fifth and they don't even show it.

If you just stuck to ESPN coverage you wouldn't even know who Davydenko was:142smilie

 

[kegray1]

Dr. Ivo :scared

Dare I say back in it.
Question is does he gas?
