August 28, 201412 yr Just picked up W2 on a tennis player I've never heard of. Making another tennis play next.
August 28, 201412 yr Asked one of the soccer nerds in the office to give me some advice on this next one.
August 28, 201412 yr Author Asked one of the soccer nerds in the office to give me some advice on this next one. I skipped that one, 3+ goals is a LOT, so I went with the Djokovic match score through 4 games. Plus, I'm in the huge minority on that one -- need Mathieu to hold serve twice.

I thought about skipping it but he seemed pretty confident. :idunno: Like I said Deuce, take the Reds. :lol2:

I went with "none win by 3+ goals." It's a stab in the dark, but I'm assuming the big clubs will take their feet off the gas.

The Djokovic one was tempting but tennis can be to unpredicatable in short props like this. That is why I skipped. I took the "Yes" to 3+ goals across three games. Surely one of them has to hit the mark. There are several top flight teams playing against low-low division teams. (all at home). I figure at least one of them is going to pour it on for the home crowd.
August 28, 201412 yr Reds are up 3-0. They suck. They can't even lose when I want them to. :lol2: Glad I stuck with my pick! Let's Go Red Legs!! :banana:
August 28, 201412 yr I'm glad I skipped the Serena/King, Isner/Struff first set total score prop. I wanted to take the 18 or less option, thinking Serena would win handily and Isner may give up a couple of games. Glad I talked myself out of it.
August 28, 201412 yr Author The Djokovic one was tempting but tennis can be to unpredicatable in short props like this. That is why I skipped. Mathieu holds serve 82% of the time on hard courts, so in a three set match, he should only get broken about 3 times. I'm hoping he can hold his first two games....
August 28, 201412 yr Mathieu holds serve 82% of the time on hard courts, so in a three set match, he should only get broken about 3 times. I'm hoping he can hold his first two games.... I like your chances.
August 28, 201412 yr Mathieu holds serve 82% of the time on hard courts, so in a three set match, he should only get broken about 3 times. I'm hoping he can hold his first two games.... For the record if I have to look up hold serve % I'm skipping that bet and onto something else.
August 28, 201412 yr Mathieu holds serve 82% of the time on hard courts, so in a three set match, he should only get broken about 3 times. I'm hoping he can hold his first two games.... Plus Djokovic hasn't played well since Wimbledon, losing his 2nd match in each tournament since. So either he is in a slump or he is due. For the record if I have to look up hold serve % I'm skipping that bet and onto something else.LOL
August 28, 201412 yr I knew I should have picked the AOR in this. But nooooooooooooooooooooooooo - I had to pick soccer. Somebody better be scoring some goals across the pond. :facepalm:
August 28, 201412 yr Halftime: Tottenham 1-0; Villareal 1-0; Inter 2-0. End the games! I need this Icelandic team playing Inter Milan to score. They were the villains in the Mighty Ducks, start acting like it!
