Wimbledon 2006

[CJ Mars]

Well, personally I feel sorry for anyone who may have acted on your advice!

I hope I'm not picking this up wrong and thats not a dig by you mate as all my advice is offered in good faith. Everyone's big enough to take or reject anyones advice. I made nearly 25% yield and 10 points on 40 odd staked on the French Open. My set bettings system is 11% yield up after nearly 150 bets. I had a bad Wimbeldon but I don't need you to remind me of that.

I hope you're right there CJ, and that it wasn't intended as a dig by Asto. As you say, it's about giving advice and opinions, we're not talking about a subscription service or anything like that, people are more than capable of making their own minds up on whether they like the look of your advice.

Hard luck for Wimbledon, and as an occasional punter on tennis, I look forward to reading your thoughts in the upcoming tournaments

[mrmuzeman]

No place for those kind of comments here Asto im afraid.

Baghs a bit of value against Nadal IMO

You see that Asto? BIT of value and IMO also was said. Wasnt like CJ said it was a banker or anything now was it so no need for that crap.

[GaNgStA kEeKs]

Yeah hope that wasn't a dig at all.

He doesn't force any bets upon anyone, he gives HIS OWN thoughts and whether you choose to follow or not is another matter.

One bad tournament. Look atEDTKH, he along with CJ, is a member i have respected in regards to tennis betting since the PL days and he even struggled in this tournament.

Very harsh and unwarranted comment Asto and these guys deserve praise for what they do here.

What do people think to this? Federer to make the first service break at 4/9 at StanJames?

He totally blitzed Nadal in the 1st set (6-0 or 6-1 wasnt it?) in the French before Nadal pwned him in subsequent sets didnt he and hes much more likely to do that on grass. Also on the same line of thinking but way more risky is 1st set to be 8 games or less, 9/2 paddypower - so thinking 6-0, 6-1, 6-2 Federer there obviously.

Like your first punt in the above, muzeman. I hope Asdo personally feels sorry for me if it doesn't work out.

Thanks for the - hopefully not misplaced - confidence, Kiko!

Truth be told, as I remarked midway through Wimbledon, this year's tourny was very much one which involved the changing of the guards(now, I must stress that in itself is no excuse for my poor performance, although the WC diverting my attention must be blamed too! ). On hindsight, I wish I had been proven wrong and it was simply a case of me making foolish bets that didn't come off(at least, had that been the case, it augurs well for the future), but I remain convinced some of the results we've seen this year would indeed signify the power shift in the years ahead.

I mean, let's be honest : who would have put their money on either Baghdatis, Nadal or Bjorkman(all of whom are either past it or whose grasscourt pedigree is unproven) making the semis? And who could have anticipated Roddick and Hewitt crashing out to opponents who, in years gone by, they'd have thrashed?

While my interest in this year's tourny has ended, it certainly hasn't stopped me from living the dream - and yes, Federer winning Wimbledon and France winning the World Cup would be nice.

I'm gonna stick a fiver on Fed to have more double faults at 2.38 and sit back and enjoy.

Hope you went with that in the end, MrM

Absolutely perfect 1st set - I think he missed 1 maybe 2 service returns and is serving at about 90%...nice one Muze.

Nadal looking like coming back a little now and if he can serve well enough to sustain the break and take this set, it'll be a bit of a mental test for Federer given whats happened in their previous H2Hs.

[mrmuzeman]

Hehe nah i wasnt on them dudes, was just putting up thoughts you know? Cos of it paralleled the French then those were great bets.

I really like Nadal, got balls of steel that dude. Could he be a good bet for the US Open, I mean he beat federer on hard this year should be a good leveller that surface cos its neithers home turf.
