Nadal at plus money underdog? In a grand final? That right there seems to be a trap for the casual bettor who knows nothing about tennis.

Yeah told 2dB last night the value is immense, but is it really value if you think he won't win?

i really have no idea. this feels like a situation where if you bet on Nadal and he loses you say "ah fuck, i shouldve known since he was an underdog"...and then if you bet against Nadal and he wins you say "ah fuck, I shouldve known Nadal is still Nadal". lol, that being said. i have no idea...but i'll be watching for sure since i'm killing time here in Oregon

 

[teejay]

LFG

 

[KJ]

Man this is awesome, no need for stimulus, this should do the trick

And the bloody is very good, might have turned a corner in life

 

[KJ]

Entertaining first game, solid rallies

 

[teejay]

Nadal is hitting a lot of low slice to Meds backhand - seems intentional as a gameplan

 

[KJ]

Match is gonna take forever at this pace. Incredible so far.

 

[Big daddy naught]

Don’t like this start for rafa

 

[teejay]

yeah not good

 

[KJ]

Don’t like this start for rafa

Did you bet it?

Obv I'm in deep on Med but once I wager I don't see it differently than the market. Want an epic match, win or lose.

Nah but I really want him to win

 

[teejay]

need to break right back please

 

[Big daddy naught]

I’m taking live under 3.5 sets. Don’t like how this looks

 

[Big daddy naught]

If med gonna make all his 1st serves and rafa under 60% no shot

 

[KJ]

Yeah Med 1st service is insane right now

 

[Big daddy naught]

Yeah rafa can’t do shit w it and he’s hitting too many 2nd serves

 

[teejay]

Rafa isn't even doing anything on his own serve and Med isn't bothered by anything really- he is gonna probably get two breaks this set

 

[teejay]

this may be over -- 6-2 sucks

 

[Big daddy naught]

Yeah and he doesn’t lose when he’s ahead

 

[teejay]

even if we go 4 sets- my over 38.5 would be in danger because of the 2 breaks this first set -- sucks

 

[KJ]

Yeah you're gonna need a breaker

 

[Big daddy naught]

Rafa expending way more energy

 

[Big daddy naught]

Well we’ll well

 

[HUNT]

Rafa choking this second away

 

[KJ]

Rafa choking this second away

Regardless the result this has been some high level tennis

 

[KJ]

Bunch of line painting and both are trying to test the patience of the other

Fun little chess match

 

[HUNT]

Regardless the result this has been some high level tennis

For the most part. Lot of ue by Rafa.

 

[teejay]

i need a Rafa win in the breaker for my over

 

[HUNT]

Took med +100 second set just now.

 

[KJ]

For the most part. Lot of ue by Rafa.

True

Some have to be chalked up to those heavy forehands from Med though as well

 

[HUNT]

i need a Rafa win in the breaker for my over

Yeah if he loses this set the next one will be like 6-3.

 

[HUNT]

Rafa has the crowd into it.

 

[KJ]

Some of Med's returns look like water logged baseballs

 

[KJ]

Still on that first bloody and I actually like it, definitely not something slam worthy

 

[HUNT]

Some of Med's returns look like water logged baseballs

Lot of power.

 

[HUNT]

Oooh gonna be an epic finish of rafa takes this

 

[HUNT]

Defense is winning this match. Service games are not good right now.

 

[HUNT]

Wow

 

[Big daddy naught]

Med so passive

 

[HUNT]

Omg lol

 

[teejay]

FML

 

[KJ]

LMFAO

 

[Big daddy naught]

Wow.

 

[HUNT]

Dude is cold blooded

 

[KJ]

First time all tournament I've seen this close call thing

 

[teejay]

now i HAVE to have Nadal win this set or i am toast
