me too

clement is playing great right now, other than his weak serve

Troicki I agree has turned to total shit. his partner is playing solid

fucking choker

The French have to be favored at this point to win the match.

at 2 sets all now

-110 each in live betting

they are a bit more optimistic than me

at least the Serbians serve first

France is fired up though and Clement is playing like a man on fire

I would have bet some of that +600 too simply to protect my Serbia wager, you got a steal there

gonna be painful to lose this -1000 if it happens

what an awesome match overall though

no shock to me at all that Troicki fucked up, now down a break and why even look at live betting

this one is over barring an epic collapse by the French

I now hope Troicki does not get the nod in singles, he is a born choker. I wanted him to get the nod when I saw how he started this match, thought perhaps nerves were not going to affect him but they came to the fore later on... Tipsveravic might be nervous as well.

France is now the favorite to win the entire final IMO. I noticed Tipsveravic is -140 to beat Simon, to me that depends on his nerves whether that line is accurate.

I am going to pound Djokovic and then hedge one unit on Simon but mainly let it ride. Things are now more stressful than they would have been. ah well, this was a fun match and who knows, maybe the Frenchies choke their balls off and hand the break back.

No need to rub it in after the fact with the very reasons I just listed for regretting the pick, especially when the reason you listed was completely different.

after what fact happened?

at the moment of my post, the two favorites won, so really nothing out of the ordinary happened. and also, look at troicki and the other guy and clement and llodra, you still think that the french are as heartless as the serbs?

i did not rub in anything, i am often busy and can't post so i went just a little bit more in detail in my second post, although i only stated what matches were going to be played, if you didn't do those rather simple calculations, well, that is your problem.

having 25000 posts doesn't allow you to be a douche mate

Llodra is a fantastic doubles player, he's teaming up with Zimonjic for the 2011 season. Definitely a team to watch out for.

at least now Llodra will be tired and the coach less likely to plug him into the fifth rubber, leaving it most likely to Simon or Gasquet. Would love to see them put Gasquet in there.

well thanks for the extra detail but dont mention my name in your second post when I had just written the same exact details my friend, because you told me not one thing I did not already know at that point. thjat is why it seemed like an asshole post to me.

and nothing is more douche-y than talking shit about how horrible one side is when you did not even play the other, IMO.

also as far as more is more heartless, with eithe rGasquet or Simon playing for it in the fifth rubber (if Djoker wins) we will see just how much heart the French have, because both of them are sorely lacking in that department, especially Gasquet. Either of them are probably more heartless than any of the Serbians, though Troicki can give them a run for their money.

I am betting 6 units on Djokovic to win 1.5 or a bit less, and hedging one unit on Simon or whoever plays the fifth rubber to cut some of the potential loss down. But obviously this means I am still letting the majority of it ride. I still think Serbia wins this final, I just wish I had thought things through and realized waiting for the fifth day would present the best value by far. This is my first time betting a Davis Cup final so live and learn.

proving my point even more, if you think guy forget is remotely thinking about playing gasquet in the final match tomorrow over simon and llodra, you are even more clueless than i thought.

I keep trying to bring this thread back on topic and I will try once again...

any Serbian backers worried at this point? Thinking of hedging or letting it ride?

Yes Djokovic should win.... I am not sure Forget will put in Llodra as he should be tired from almost five hours on court and there are questions about his fitness. That leaves Simon or Gasquet, with Simon being the probable choice since Gasquet has not played in awhile.

So it might really be Simon vs Tips for it all. I think Tips could win that certainly. Or will the Serbian coach choose to put in Troicki based on his form the first two sets of the doubles match?

But if they put in Llodra for France then Tsipveravic has a 1-0 atp and 2-0 challenger record, even though they were 3-4 years ago, so there is at least a shred of hope. And honestly Llodra did not impress me much yesterday, especially his returning. He did volley well.
