Pending2/28/10 3:00pm ATP Tennis 302 Ivo Karlovic -175* vs Ernests Gulbis
This is the biggest single play of my career I have backed Karlovic all the way thru to the finals and he has profited me around 1k so far in this tournament. Looking for him and his serve to roll again today.

Lets follow the match in here beginning around 3pm eastern. This is a once in a YEAR play for me. My Play of the weeks are normally $300-$500 and my play of the month may reach $600 but to risk $1,750 is something i havent done since January 2009. Hope this cashes... if not it will be a very tough loss or a very amazing weekend if we win.

[Tsonga]

Well that takes some balls...we will see.

[bluefish]

good luck

[MUHerd37]

Good luck man. I have been debating all day today whether or not to do the same thing.

[JNic]

wow i absolutely love this pick, i really think gulbis will have like 4 automatic holds in a row then all of a sudden he cant handle the pressure on one game and karlovic will snag a set.

[MUHerd37]

Karlovic was also -2 which looked nice. I just took Karlovic ML. Risking more than half my bankroll on this. Ivo better win this thing.

[terpkeg]

BOL, decided to tail this one.

[MUHerd37]

It's on the tennis channel so that will be nice. Figured I was gonna have to watch online. Instead it's in HD baby! They warming up now.

[dlweaver]

1-0 karlovic.... if u tailed me and wanna throw some points my way on a win that'd be nice haha lets win that $$$$$

[MUHerd37]

Damn. Karlovic had 2 break points that game and squandered them.

[dlweaver]

Gulbis with 2 break chances and he breaks Karlovic (only the 2nd time all tournament)

[MUHerd37]

Gulbis just broke Ivo. I don't like the way this is looking. Gulbis looked really shaky at first but now it's Ivo that looks shaky.

[MUHerd37]

Gulbis just broke him again. Gulbis is rolling Ivo right now. The match is over. I knew better than to bet this much.

[EaglesPhan36]

Ouch. Don't think I have nor will ever put that much on a tennis match no matter the situation. Hope Ivo turns it around in the 2nd for you.

Karlovic couldn't play any worse

[dlweaver]

another break and yea that's gonna be it.... tough day

[MUHerd37]

Karlovic isn't even trying anymore

[EaglesPhan36]

I hope that live play was a small amount. Never a good idea to add to your original amount when things are going south. Earn it back next week.

[dlweaver]

down 4-3 and a break in the 2nd... unless he breaks one of these next two it's OVER....

[dlweaver]

WOW... sorry guys that was the worst bet i could have ever made i guess.... all the stats pointed to Karlovic but the play did not. My apologies and my bankroll takes a nice hit.

[Tsonga]

Wow...1950 down on one match...it did take balls...now I'm sure they are hurting. Well if u were up 1000 for the tourney u are only down 950 for the tourney.

[dlweaver]

i was up 1k on karlovic.... i was up around 2.5 k overall this week so yea it was a loss i could AFFORD to take i just didnt want to take it haha

[necro]

Thread names, like that one, with title smt like ''put your house on xy'', ''game of the year'', ''ALL IN'' and on and on are always first class auto fade material. I am sorry for your lose.

[dlweaver]

i have no problem accepting it. just want people to know when i go big because i've been capping tennis very well. sometimes it just doesnt work out for us.

[RobbReport]

you'll bounce back dl. cheer up buddy.

[Fthenorm]

Sorry to see it...I hate karlovic as well, but was on gulbis today. When gulbis puts his mind to a match, he can really compete. Karlovic has thee worst ground game of anyone in the top 100 if you ask me. If Gulbis does not self destruct, he can win most matches. He obviously decided not to self distruct for any extended periods of time this tournament.

[Marginalis]

you will be back

[hornsrgrt]

nice double faults to end the match...that should tell you his heart wasn't in it...
