It's just the line on winning the match. Murray on hard courts was a pretty easy bet at almost even odds.

Ferrer +6/Murray -6 is not just the line on winning the match.

Didn't get action from ziggy for whatever it'd worth. Got action from another member who I can name if he's interested. I didn't take a handicapped bet, I took the bet with Murray a slight favorite and just a straight win.

Taking the plus 6 in tennis between 2 top 10 players is idiotic. Winning 3 straight sets by a break per set is an awful bet.

so you didn't book with $kill game?

please satisfy my curiousity and name who you bet with and what odds you got. you realise murray was like -400 to win the match, right? (i am guessing on that figure, i imagine someone can tell us for certain, maybe -500?)

If the person is fine to share their name I'd be happy to. Not gonna share otherwise. Btw, he thought he was making a good bet and maybe he was. Ferrer hasn't lost a match this year and was looking great and also has a heads up winning record v Murray...just all his wins were on clay.

i don't think you a) understand odds and b) have a clue what you are talking about.

You already said you won 4k on it. So you risked, what, 12-13k minimum?

Why do you need permission to reveal what the bet is and w/ who? Seems the only person it might hurt is you...

Why would I out someone who probably made a bad bet, seems classless and an obvious etiquette breach. I risked 14k on what I think is nearly a sure thing.

So when you said "almost even odds" you meant 14k to 4k? Ya, that makes sense....

It's Friday, you sleuths have done an incredible job and I'm sure it'll make your days to feel like you've caught an online liar so I concede. I'm still happy to discuss tennis and think I have a lot to offer. Tres Davis knows who I am and can confirm it.

Ziplok you are either brain dead or a scum bag scammer. Which one is it?

14 to win 4 is pretty close to what pinny offered on the game. A couple of euro bookies had slightly better odds, so I'm not sure your bet was the steal of the century or anything like that.

Confirmed scum bag although tres Davis might testify that I'm brain dead as I know my tour rep was wasted talent.

more than likely it was a pretty accurate reflection of the possible outcomes!

I think odds on tennis can be pretty off fro
Surface to surface. I think Murray has a tremendous edge on hard courts againt ferrer who is also a known choke.

Going into the match Murray had never lost a set on hard against ferrer, I thought the odds were close than they should have been given ferrers head up winning record and his great play going into the match. I think a healthy Murray wins that match 9/10
