Like I said, USO final all over again, haha. Still semi optimistic about Madison's potential but whether or not she gets it together from a competitive standpoint is very questionable at this point for me

I spread my bets around Bet365, Pinnacle, Will Hill, and the Greek. Would recommend all four of those books.  Bet365 is my favorite book for tennis and live betting. They have so many live streams it's a fantastic site.  The only stories I've heard about them limiting people is the extreme situations with high rollers betting tens of thousands per game and winning. But at same time they always always paid out even if you beat them for large money, sure they might limit your account but you get your money.  Most books would react similarly if you beat them for large amounts. They won't bother Joe Schmo betting a few hundred bucks like most of us are.

How did you go about funding the 365 account from the US.  They don't except any crypto, it seems like all payent methods would reveal our location.  I set up a netteller account because I read that was a way to use btc to fund 365 but it turns out they don't except netteller either.

Stocktrader, I'm in Canada.  Gambling on sports is legal here. Sports betting Americans get screwed royally. All the best online books don't allow American users anymore. So you probably won't be able to fund your Bet365 account as far as I know.

Locked in:

Edmund ML +240 (half unit)
Edmund to win 1st set +175 (half unit)
Edmund +4.5 games (-110)
Over 38.5 games (-120)

I obviously feel Edmund here is the play...may not be the most popular side, however what I saw in him this event, he's not going to choke it away in the end, the other guy will have to beat him...and I like to back the player with the biggest weapon on the court, and that's clearly Edmund's massive forehand...should be a great match.

I'm leaning toward Edmund for the value.  Very tough match to predict, as Cilic mentals can swing widely.  I expect it to be an absolute slugfest.  Haven't made a play on it yet, but leaning similar to you.  BOL

Edmund is good choice I think! Good luck packers. I will be most likely on Edmund as well.

Sage advice. Hopefully, CTSwisha123 took what you said to heart and didn't tail you this particular session on the Edmund-Cilic match. Brutal. Edmund was completely outclassed by Cilic and the Brit plastered the bed with his fecal matter.

I was also invested with the OVER 38.5 games bet myself, but I knew early on that totals play was doomed. This Pommy got completely steamrolled. Piss poor performance. His vaunted forehand was a no show. He mentally collapsed like a cheap suit.

Oh well. Onto the next semi-final between Chung and Federer. Good luck on your bets in it!

Terrible preformance..  His shots speeds where way below his average and he didn'tseem to have the heart to win like he did with Dimi, no gas  similiar to the tooth..

This is the one variable which is almost impossible to handicap on a consistent basis. Heart to win. After the Brit lost the 2nd Set in a tie-breaker, you could see he was mentally cooked. His decline in the 3rd Set was rapid. He folded pathetically like a cheap suit.

While I only lost money on the totals play in this match, I did learn something about Edmund for future tennis bets. There's no way I can back him in a true pressure situation. He revealed to me he's really not ready to tangle consistently with the "big boys" yet, and he's unable to overcome adversity in big spots. True champions can do that IMO.
