@yoyoyo1 the betting Gawd, what were the odds of Stan winning the French at the start of the tourney ?
Yes.
around 15/1, I am a firm Stan believer but I didn't have enough money in the account to be adventurous.
The draw was a thing of beauty, you got all the grinders in one half and power players on the other. All value was on Stan/Monf/Jo
@yoyoyo1
You dropped the ball. Should've made that french open final betting thread, I wanted to bet it all on stan
I was thinking about it too, a whole whole lot and decided to feel it out.
1. Specifically woke up at 9 to see who was serving first
If it was Djokovic I'd do Under 9.5, if it was Stan I'd do Over 9.5 - Saw Stan was serving first, I figured he had a whole hour of top play and decided to do the Over 9.5 (cause he'd have to get broken twice to have it go under, and I had the confidence Joker wouldn't be broken. Went exactly how I thought.
2. 2nd set I also read it perfectly, about +170 midway through the set when everyone was realizing that indeed Stan was for real.
3. Missed the 3rd set opportunity, I wanted to wait a bit until 3-3/4-3 to go with Stan, then he played the spectacular love break and I was mildly pissed I missed the chance. Had a chance at 0-15 but at 0-30 odds swung too much to do it.
4. 4th set I went for Djokovic right off, then was vindicated as he raced to 3-0. Then I got greedy and did Under 8.5 4th set thinking Stan was fading or if he wasn't fading, he'd at least tank the set. But Djokovic didn't cooperate, and I got double screwed. So lucky that Djokovic held at 15-40 the first time cause the set odds when back to before-set odds and I threw some on Wawrinka to at least not lose that much.
Ended up 3-2, that greed in the 4th set cause I waited a split second too long on the 3rd
- reminded me of everything going right in the Kei/Joker match at USO, I hit like a +600 live bet twice during that match.
I am searching this right now... shyt not even sampras did it
