I've had £2 on Kvitova to win the tournament ... though her record in the US Open is not good
4th round the best she's done so far. I backed 2 horses in the 2.30 (only £2 ) put in lays of £4-30 @ 2.3 on each. both taken finished 2nd 9-1 and 3rd 10-1 .......... btn by a first-timer with a trainer I'd never heard of at 40-1 ! |

1st game on a hard court for Gonzales 23+ aces for Querry who looks knackered Gonzales 2-6,6-4,4-6,6-4 tennis equivalent of banded racing imo |

Andy v Jo-Wilfred, tomorrow, R4.
Don't yet know what time. Not keeping up very well with the USO. Didn't watch Andy's last match, seems he won it well |
|
By:
As the seeds are disappearing fast, 8 of the last 16 in the women's tourney have been backed at 1000, and others at huge odds.
Alcohol and gambling don't mix. A small stakes punter, probably squiffy, was trying to get 20s for Serena Williams when the betting opened, but he layed it instead.  |
|
By:
Have backed 9 players to make the last 16 in an accumulator - 5 already in, 4 with one match to win today.
Need Ferrer v Simon, Berdych v Gabashvili, Federer v Granollers and Dimitrov v Goffin for a big payout. |
|
By:
Unlucky with Ferrer the only loser.
Did you hedge any of it? Lucie Safarova cost me an acca last night  I only had one ante-post bet, on the number 9 seed, Jelena Jankovic, at big odds. I thought she was safe last night so I never looked in, but she got done 2-0 by an unseeded player. I should have traded earlier |

Glad to see my chat thread is being used
Bad luck cmat. Hope things improve for you on the tennis betting front. Good luck Roger with your bet. Well, Andy is playing at 7.30pm UK time this evening. This is excellent news for me as Mr Makybe will be working this evening so I will be able to watch the match undisturbed. I don't know if this time is good for Andy. I'm really hoping Andy will win but if he doesn't it will be some consolation to me that I really like Jo-Wilfred so will be very happy for him. I'm ashamed to say that I'm only a very part-time tennis fan so despite starting this thread I really haven't got much idea what is going on at the USO  I will have a google right now and find out  |

Good luck Roger with your bet.
 See the bottom line of Rogers post, and the top pine of mine. |

Haven't found out much only that Fed is through to the final 16. Very pleased about that.
I found this article about Andy and his cramp .http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/tennis/article-2738041/Andy-Murray-reveals-secret-fitness-weapon-US-Open-raiding-players-canteen-sachets-salt.html The Daily Mail do tend to exaggerate their headlines but I found it interesting as I'm researching salt in the diet at the moment. Salt is important and very misunderstood. Andy taking refined table salt for his cramp. I'm into Himalayan Sea Salt at the moment. Anyway, back to finding out who the rest of the final 16 are. Roll on the Jumps Season, that's easy peasy to keep track of, unlike the tennis |

I find betting even more confusing than tennis, Cmat.

It's all become very much clearer. |
|
By:
No didn't hedge any of it as there were still more players to go after Ferrer so he wasn't the last leg.
8 out of 9 and him losing cost me a 20k return. Not very happy! |

By:
Total games to be OVER 40.5 between Murray and Tsonga
4/5 Bet 365 Good thing. |
|
By:
That is sickening Roger
I didn't notice what time you had made your earlier post. I was high on caffeine pills this morning. And, of course, I meant to say Himalayan *rock salt in my last post. Anyway, looking forward to watching Andy v Jo-Wilfred |
|
By:
Match starting very shortly. Murray and Tsonga on court
|
|
By:
Looking very good for Andy in the early stages
|
|
By:
Slippy, the link you posted is Fandabidozi!
Really enjoying watching this match. |
|
By:
Jayzus! My recorder box has just come on and my TV sprang into life!
Gave me such a fright  Was focusing on the match on here. |
|
By:
Murray has his hands full with Tsonga M_D, haven't had a bet so far. If he loses the first set I might have a punt on him though.
|
|
By:
No problem, happy to help you out
 |
|
By:
Yes, Murray started really well. Thought he was going to take this set easily. |
|
By:
First set to Andy
 |
|
By:
Just had a cheeky punt on Tsonga for a few bucks at the price.
|
|
By:
Worth doing, Slippy
I've never had a bet on the tennis. Haven't had a bet on the horses since Auroras Encore. Thought I'd quit while I was ahead. |
|
By:
I hope Auroras is enjoying his retirement
He fractured a leg in the Skybet Chase at Doncaster but was operated on successfully. |
|
By:
As much as I like him I have to say that Andy Murray is a strange one.
|
|
By:
Tsonga with a break of serve in the second set.
It never gets any easier watching Andy Murray. |
|
By:
Got Tsonga at 4.5, just took my stake back but Murray has problems for sure with this dude.
|
|
By:
Yes, Tsonga looks much lighter these days. He looks in great shape.
Andy looking very fit, too. |
|
By:
Come on Andy break his serve.
|
|
By:
B*gger.
Tsonga holds. Pretending I know what I'm talking about here |
