French Open??

French Open?? Any opinions here?? Cant ever remember Federer being +5 1/2 games.

The tennis games prop is one of the trickiest bets I have ever seen and trust me I have handicapped it for at least 50 hours over the years and still cannot put a finger on a mathematical or statistical edge. All it takes is for one set to go lopsided 6-1 and The Joker wipes him out. Fed would need at least one 7-6 and a 6-4 set to win, but IMO if you like Fed here take the +245.

I've been taping/watching/handicapping the French Open and unfortunately here I have not posted any plays, the lines are always heavy chalk. Well before the start of the event I bought a ticket from a friend with Djokovic at a huge price to win the French and have been enjoying the streak. My friend was convinced reading many posters at EOG (our good friend John Kelly included) that Nadal at I believe -150 to -175 was a slam dunk to win his 6th French Open. So, he went heavy on Nadal and sold me his Djokovic ticket.

Now at this point, Djokovic is down to +115 to win and playing better than anyone on the planet, I don't think Fed or Murray get to the Final and Nadal himself said he is not playing well enough to win this year......If I did not have a futures ticket...hard not to take Djokovic at that price!

That one hurt. Found a -250 over Federer for the Semis and thought I had a gift.
