Fognini was struggling to beat him even then!

I'd never want to have my Money on Mugnini, though both want to be ranked very high in the mug ranking

aaronh is summed wrong in the table, but I didn't check if the numbers for rds 1 and 2 are correct

why can't I trade out here?

mouse trap will have to go all out and pick the complete opposite in the quarters.

Keep the faith mouse, the cat is there for the taking.

Blah! Have been having interviews for next contract so missed the last 2 days! Good luck to the winner - I'll be in Dubai from Sunday (got the job ) Don't think I can use betfair from there? Couldn't in USA

Unlikely you could use a gambling site in a muslim country tweedy, although might still be able to use the forum, what job have you got ?

Contract with an Oil and Gas supplier. I've worked for BP in the past, so have the background knowledge!

gl out there, don't sunburnt, been there once and i almost melted in the shade

why do you Need a Job as a successful bettor?

Professional bettor = lonely, stressful life imo, probably for all but a very few high rollers who can afford to dump a million on a horse once or twice a year whilst having inside knowledge that it is effectively nailed on.


Anyway, congrats on the new contract tweedy. Enjoy the sun, the dawaj mafia will miss you!

we can't have the top 8 ranked (not seeded) players of the tournament in the QFs, come on Jerzy

Would make a mockery of the 'Tankers' Masters' title if it was probably the strongest QF field all year

Stupid question bb66! If you could get circa £700 per day for doing a job you love ..... why wouldn't you?
smb360 is exactly right - I do this for pin money when I'm not working!

awww, just saw last bit of your post smb360 - thanks, I'll miss some of you guys too xxx Back for Christmas with a tan

Well done to yyyy on being the only player to score a full house - only the third time this season a Round 3 full house has been achieved after mine and mouse trap's all in score in Cincinnati, 3 from 113 round 3 entries.

And unlucky to Sir_bond who also was on the verge on joining the club after 7/7 correct picks, unfortunately, he forgot to pick a winner in the Raonic - Berdych match

Friday's Quarter Final Matches - 6 pts per correct pick

all 4 Underdogs to make through?
1 or 2 maybe, but 4? You play those in Multiples and win huge.

I don't really chase after every winner in this comp, I chase value, a refelction of real betting, I haven't bothered to play this game properly, I would like to know who would be in most profit if we actually backed every play over the last 9 tournaments,the table would look very different

Although sometimes I back rank outsiders on this just for the laugh

never in my life I would back all my picks, key to success is knowing when not to bet, but rules here are to pick a winner on every match, it's completely different!

tbf to Sir_Bond, this match wasn't on the BF coupon of rd 3

I'm really surprised about the variety of picks for the QF, so I'm not done yet for this tournament

mouse trap

why have you chosen the same selections ? you might as well pick Federer, hope he wins to close the gap to 8 points overall and then chose the opposite to smb in the final? no point in letting the comp fizzle out, take it to the wire! Federer has a chance too, Djokovic is not playing some challenger mug.

tip: pick Fed

what a BOTTLE job

*sigh*

Really should set reminders for stuff like this.

Tie-Breaks
Single Events - A Tie-Break will be used in the final of each Masters 1000 tourney to determine a clear winner of each event, prior to each final; entrants must predict the total number of games played in the final match. In the event of a second Tie-Break being needed, the player with the most amount of correct picks will be deemed to be the winner.

The Final - 12pts per correct pick

Mixed emotions for our final Masters 1000 winner of the season mouse trap, whose last gasp tie-breaking victory over long standing nemesis smb360, provides some consolation after falling just short in the overall standings. Despite AyersRocks gallant attempt to force a final day shootout between the top pair at the top of the Circuit Leaderboard, the shrewd 2 time winner stuck to his guns and carved his own path to Paris victory instead! The mouse picks up his second title of year following on from Madrid and signs of the season in some style. Congrats on winning the 9TH and final 1000 event of 2013.

In the Runners-Up spot this week is smb360, who now knows how milla445 felt in Montreal after losing out in his 2nd tie-break finish scenario of the year, yet again Mr 360 finishes another tournament with the highest amount of corrects picks, however, the Quarter Final pick of Del Potro eventually proved to be his undoing in Paris as the old GOAT pulled of his first top 5 win of the year, thus allowing the mouse to sneak back into contention and take the title from within his grasp. smb can console himself during the off-season with his hat-trick of titles and 2013 1000 Masters crown, well done

A solid 3rd place effort form relative newbie, wisewords, who in his fourth attempt breaks into the top 3 for the first time after debuting in back in Montreal. Again, despite the ever mischievous Ayers predicting a wooden spoon award for the podium finisher, Mr words made the Rock eat his own words.  It could have been an even better week for WW if he had picked favourite WaWa over Almagro in R3 to finish 2 points ahead rather than 2 behind, hindsight is a man’s best friend, well done on your highest finish to date.

wisewords got lucky

thanks for running

Enjoyable tournament, cheers Darren ... Ayers
