606v2 ATP Picking Game: Wimbledon

1 games remaining

How to play:
- Every player has 32 picks. All picks must be used in mens main draw singles matches. The points besides each fixture represent the points you score if that
 player wins. If your pick is wrong you LOSE 10 points. Whoever has the most points at the end of the tournament is the winner. To play post your picks on this thread, try to number them. A valid pick must be in the format Player A def/over Player B (Winner First). By the end of the tournament all 32 picks must be used, unused picks will be counted as losses. You are allowed to post picks each day until the match starts, so please check the order of play. All picks posted after play starts are invalid and can be replaced. A pick is void if a match does not take place due to withdrawal or a change in the draw but is valid if at least one point is played (so retirements count). Each player will also be able to place “Djoker Cards” on any FOUR of their 32 picks. If your "Djoker" pick wins you earn double winnings if he loses you will not lose any points. In case of more than one player being tied on the same score, the tiebreak will be number of right picks, if still tied then by 1st highest scoring pick, 2nd highest scoring

A few things

Will put odds up probably tomorrow

I am queuing for Wimbledon tickets on Monday so will not be around all Monday and after getting back to my mates house at 2 and deciding home was a step too far last year, if this happens again this year I won't be on on Monday night.

Wicked mate, would be easier as they often change

I go on betfair and the odds will be along lines of

1.47 - 3.01

You times by 10 so 14.7 - 30.1 then minus 10 and round down so 5 and 20

1 Hewitt bt Stan
2 XMan bt Verdasco
3 De Schepper bt Lorenzi
4 Fognini bt Melzer

There's a few Djokers tempting me here and I'm wary of using them all at the same time. Baghdatis, Edmund and Knittel all tempted me.

Part of me is also tempted to put something on all 32 matches and then sit back and watch the tournament and see if anyone can beat (or do worse than my score)

Ryan you missed odds for Simon GIlles vs Lopez match, its tricky I would have selected a winner here.

Simon (15) - (6) Lopez

9 Simon bt Lopez

Messed up formatting a bit but the table is up

Well Simon is down a set already, so the odds should be higher on him, increase the odds and I am going for him

10 Melzer bt Reister
11 Jerzy bt Stepanek
12 Mahut bt Robredo
13 Troicki bt Kuznetsov
14 Verdasco bt Benne

Although if we did 'in-play picks' then Simon would be worth 90 at the moment

Wow IC wow, 2 days and already reeling towards triple figures in minus, 3 matches went close today , Pella's match could have got 40 rather than -10, which resulted in 50 net points loss and Granollers lost from 4-1 in the 4th set :Picard: which could have got me 70 points instead of -10, and Gimeno Traver showed signs of fight to go down to Brands in 5 which could have netted me 43 instead of -10, so net loss was 50 +80+53 =>183 points in close matches so rather than me being 100 plus now almost 100 minus.

Lemme know whether Day 3 holds any good for me.

Can JHM or LF please stick this thread, that would make it easy for us than searching for the thread everytime in the midst of other chaos threads.

Mmm, that was a bit of a disaster.

OMG, I sensed an upset is coming but thought it would be Lu no way did I guess its Sergy topping Fed out, I should have picked him given Fed's form, poor IC.

I appear to be a like Nadal. Good on clay, rubbish on grass.

The picking game channel slam could be on! Consolation after today, at any rate. Thanks for updating CJB, hope your prom (and choice of booze) was good

Not really, if you asked me in terms of favouritism towards the big they'd occupy 3 and 4. I want Murray to win. It's just that the picks so far have been such a disaster I'd rather just get it over done with them than trying to claw my way back up.
