wolves27 Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Re: Wimbledon 23rd June - 6th July think im set to lose my 1st tip of the tourney:cry shuettler about to go 5-3 up in the 2nd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Intensity Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 Re: Wimbledon 23rd June - 6th July Yeah, not going to plan. Still a decent chance that Nadal steps up and/or Schuettler bottles serving for it:hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbo22 Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Re: Wimbledon 23rd June - 6th July RAFAEL NADAL 2.2@BODOGIt's his time. Nadal is in Federers head and has finally put it all together on grass. Don't judge his performance today against Schuettler after the first set blitzing he began to look ahead to the final. Federer is reluctant to come to net against Nadal even on grass and there is just no way he can hang with Nadal anymore from the baseline. Nadal's serve and grasscourt tactics have improved exponentially from last year. Nadal in 4. 7-6 4-6 6-4 6-4 FULL STAKES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Intensity Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 Re: Wimbledon 23rd June - 6th July Not touching the ladies final as I just haven't got a clue, but I'm going to play a couple of the doubles finals..... RAYMOND/STOSUR @ 5.00 Pinnacle. I know the Williams sisters are great but this price seems a bit silly. It's not ideal for them to come out having contested the singles final against each other ealier in the day and after seeing them earlier the crowd will probably favour Raymond/Stosur. R/S struggled earlier on in this tournament but got a couple of excellent wins over Peschke/Stubbs and top seeds Black/Huber in the semi final. They are a proper doubles team and are very good and I expect them to give the Williams sisters a lot of problems. BJORKMAN/ULLYETT @ 2.62 Sportingbet. Another doubles match which seems strangely priced. U/L beat the Bryans in the semi final and put in an excellent display. N/Z have played very well and came through a really tough match in the semis 8-6 in the fifth against Dlouhy/Paes. Both teams have played well and it should be a good final, but I think the prices should be a lot closer than this - Pinnacle agree and go 2.45 on B/L.

bet_man Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Re: Wimbledon 23rd June - 6th July For now Venus is playing better than than serena in my opinion.Both players have good service.But i think Venus will take her service games more comfortable than serena because venus is moving better than serena on court.If this match is on hard or clay court than serena may be favorite.But on Grass i think Venus is better now.Especially on grass Venus has better backhand than serena.Both player did not lose a set in wimbledon this year.But Venus will be the champion.

billy the punter Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Re: Wimbledon 23rd June - 6th July When the women's final is seen as close, the match is usually played out that way. Looking at the past 20 finals, and we discount the mis-match years of 1990 (Navratilova/Garrison), 1992 (Graf/Seles), 1998 (Novotna/Tauziat) and 2007 (Venus/Bartoli) - the other 17 finals have all looked tight affairs on paper and they went this way: 88 - 3 sets, 27 games 89 - 3 sets, 28 games 91 - 3 sets, 33 games 93 - 3 sets, 34 games 94 - 3 sets, 28 games 95 - 3 sets, 33 games 96 - 2 sets, 21 games 97 - 3 sets, 26 games 99 - 2 sets, 22 games 00 - 2 sets, 22 games 01 - 3 sets, 22 games 02 - 2 sets, 22 games (all Williams final) 03 - 3 sets, 28 games (all Williams final) 04 - 2 sets, 17 games 05 - 3 sets, 39 games 06 - 3 sets, 27 games 12/17 went to 3 sets 11/17 went to 27 games+ Over 25 games on average. This is obviously a close match on paper so I'm going with it being a close match on court. The two bets I'm looking at are: 3 sets - 11/10 Hills +23.5 games - 5/6 gen "3 Sets" should not be bigger than two on evidence and "23.5 games" is too low. If I go for the latter I get the bonus of collecting if the result is 7-5, 7-5 or thereabouts - which is a distinct possibilty. But on the other hand there is a very slight possibilty that it would go to three sets but not make 24 games. Although of course 7-5, 7-5 (or 7-6) is much more likely than a three set match taking less than 24 games. I decided on... Over 23.5 games at 5/6 which is available with various firms.

Teabag Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Re: Wimbledon 23rd June - 6th July Nadal vs Federer According to a report on the BBC, the bookies have reported late betting on Fed for the match. People are coming in late for the 'tried and tested' rather than the 'young pretender'. This match seems to have a a bit of a 'Borg v McEnroe' feel to it and it took John Mac a couple of goes to finally unseat Borg. Fed is at the height of his powers still on grass but there is evidence of a curve developing in Fed's recent performances. Nadal is coming up on the rail, playing harder, faster and more importantly, gaining more experience. Nadal is no Lendl...Lendl had a great antipathy toward playing on grass and Wimledon, when the penny finally dropped, age was against him. Ante post betting was heavily in favour of Nadal. It seems the bookies are now rooting for a Fed win - the bookies lose big time with a Nadal win. Early betting on Nadal? Would you class this as the 'smart money', as our American cousins would say? Poor old Nad, not only has he Fed on grass to contend with but he also has the the entire betting industry rooting for his opponent. Having lost with Serena today, I have to declare my incompetence straight off the bat BUT ...... ......I am going to go with Nadal...'time for a change', as they say in politics but you never know - the 'old' war horse might get a another title. Fed will need to make it to the net occasionally to put Nadal under pressure - if Fed stays back and tries to slug it out from the baseline then I think Nadal will take him. Nadal is in Fed's brain from that point of view. This may go 4/5 sets. If Nadal fails again this year then perhaps both Fed and Nadal can just come back (without the earlier rounds) for the final next year, as past champions did in the past? What a great contest in store...enjoy:ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Intensity Posted July 5, 2008 Author Share Posted July 5, 2008 Re: Wimbledon 23rd June - 6th July Grr doubles didn't go well:spank NADAL @ 2.19 Pinnacle. I'm not too sure what to say here. We've seen these two play so many times and we've seen the last two Wimbledon finals. Nadal has been very impressive but Fed has come through quietly and still hasn't looked tested. How will Fed cope if he goes behind after the battering he took at the French? Forecast of rain could help if it comes at the right time. Really don't know how this is going to go, but want to make a play and taking Nadal. My concern is the condition of the court, he was slipping quite a bit in the semis, maybe that was a problem with the court or his shoes. Anyway, hope for a great final and I'm sure it's not great value, but I'm siding with Nadal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Wong Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Re: Wimbledon 23rd June - 6th July really not sure here, completely undecided, Fedster was really impressive the way he brushed aside Marat Safin in straight sets, The big Russian has had a really good competition but was totally spanked by Fed, Nadal on the other hand, played a guy who spent 5hrs+ on court the day before their semi-final, i want Nadal to win but my head says Federer here. Federer WIN @ 1.84 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackJarvis Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Re: Wimbledon 23rd June - 6th July Got a feeling Federer will just edge it again but it ought to be a classic. Im having a small interest on 3-2 in sets both ways. 9/2 for both outcomes and I think that is the best value as I can see it going all the way.

Starcrossed Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Re: Wimbledon 23rd June - 6th July Federer v Nadal Don't post often but have seen some possible good value with over 4 double faults in the match. Neither player double faults often but weighing up the likelihood of: i) a long 4/5 set match ii) strong winds (gusting to 40mph+?) and the difficulty this wind gave the Williams sisters with their serve Saturday leads me to go with over 4 double faults in the match at 2.62 with Bet365 but if you fancy it shop around, there may be better offers out there.

billy the punter Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Re: Wimbledon 23rd June - 6th July Federer vs Nadal From the 9 best of five set games they have played, they have contested 11 tie-breaks. If I ignore the clay games then it breaks down to 6 tie-breaks in 3 games. From the two Wimbledon finals, four sets went the maximum distance. Stats mean little I know, but it just shows how evenly these two are matched. I think its a safe bet that a tie-break will be played. Ladbrokes go 1/2 a tie-break which would be a the correct price if this were on a random surface, however on this surface it should be much shorter than 1/2. Tie-break to be played 1/2 Ladbrokes.

koloino Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Re: Wimbledon 23rd June - 6th July Roger Federer - Rafael Nadal Roger won already here in Wimbledon 5 times from the line and in my opinion today has the larger chances for 6 victory than band. Federer began season averagely, but see that is untwisted. Has good 1st serves, about 70%. Has also quite a lot aces on the game, averagely 15-20. However band known that plays better clay and is not specialist from the game in Wimbledon. Commits a great deal unforced errors. pick 1 odds 1.70 stake 5/10 Jetbull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palaceman Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Re: Wimbledon 23rd June - 6th July leads me to go with over 4 double faults in the match at 2.62 with Bet365 but if you fancy it shop around, there may be better offers out there. Interesting bet, Starcrossed Re your quoted sentence, from a quick check Bet365 appear to be the only ones to base the bet on over 4. The others who quote do so on over 3.5 (a little safer maybe) for which Stan James at 2.1 appears to be best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
