Baghdatis v Hewitt...big mismatch!

[alb]

This one has brought me out of retirement. I have been watching about 10hours of this tournament every day and this just hit me hard. Bags should easily dispose of Hewitt. A better player who thrives in the Aussie Open against a fading player who does not do well here.

True odds Bags is about -250. You can get him at -133 (vcbet)....WOW!!! If he loses, back to retirement I go.....but it is really Hewitt who is comtemplating retirement.

A little bite on 3-0 at +450


For future bettors;

Who's gonna beat Justin Henin? She is a lot more rock solid to win the The Fed. There is still +150 out there on exchanges....amazing. When did she last lose.....Wimbledon?

alb outta retirement...........:mj07:


good luck to ya......although it is a tough play to go against the home fav........maybe this is Hewitt's year :shrug: or maybe not:SIB

The line keeps moving up on this one, granted that bags in the better player this could be a good spot for a Hewitt bet. Homecourt late at night so fans will be behind Leyton and Bags off a 5 setter. We have awhile before match starts so will keep an eye on line and may place a Hewitt bet right before first ball is served if line continues to grow.

Hey Kick....been awhile. How goes?

Bags keeps shortening up....deservedly so. Glad I got on early.

Hewitt is so long past his game. The Aussie version of Tiny Tim Henman. He's a big go against any time he's a short favourite these days. Only meeting of these the 2 was Wimbledon 2006. Bags beat him, the last Wimbledon champ before The Fed. Hewitt has little success here except for 1 final appearance (2005) out of 11 tries. Bags has 3 tries....1 finalist appearance (2006) where you can recall he was a 1-man giant killer before bowing down to The Fed.
This years event and Bags has notched wins against Safin (last Aussie open winner before The Fed) and a respectable Johansson.....both would beat Hewitt.

Hewitt beat no-namers Darcis and Istomin and really hasn't look nearly as good as Bags. Bags has much better stamina too.

But.....as I think you mentioned before....in Men's tennis anyone can beat anyone.....on hardcourt at least.

If Bags loses today, I quit betting tennis for life!!!!
Okay for a month.



I'm watching this Tipsarevic guy giving The Fed a scare....good stuff.

Good luck in your retirement. I followed your advise and lost $700 LOL.

Oh well. Easy come, easy go.

This is my first and last bet on tennis.

Geez....I'm sorry about that WP. It was a very exspensive pill for me to swallow also.

Are you an adult?

Did someone hold a gun to your head and tell you to bet Hewitt?

Alb puts work into his plays writes down his thoughts you hop on his play and when it goes down you come in here crying about it?

First of all if you are just following people without putting any of your own work into it you cannnot whine if the play loses.

Thanks for the write up alb, look forward to some more from you.

Also i think bags would have had him if he didnt roll his ankle in the third either way was a crazy match.

Did you notice the LOL. I am a big boy and take any losses with a pinch of salt.

I was not trying to slam Alb so why don't you stop acting like a knob.

The reason I love this site is BECAUSE nobody starts talking shit to fellow posters.
I hope you are not going to change that. A few posters here can attest that what I lost today is just a piss in the ocean compared to other losses.

Tennis is not my thing but I contribute quite a bit to boxing and MMA.

Alb Brother, I hope you did not take offense. If so I apologise.

 

[shawn555]

I am not trying to talk shit.

I apologize if i misunderstood you but when someone comes in saying they followed a capper and telling how much $$ you lost on it seems to me you are complaining about it.

I am sure alb feels bad enough for losing his bet he doesnt need other people piling on.

Fair enough bud.

I have lost on the UFC today as well and have the potential to lose far more on tonights fights but I take it in stride. We all have good weeks and bad weeks. As long as we all make money in the long run, who cares. I didn't mean to sound like a complainer or to make Alb feel bad.

I have looked at Albs picks. He is a good capper and I am sure he will rebound.

Good Luck.
