Did not watch that one but I was thinking Djoković will not do good in Monaco. When placing answers for our league I was between 2,3 and then choose 3. I was sure Medvedev will not reach semi final and I was on the limb for Djoković. Biggest surprise for me is that Ruud got eliminated. Djoković is always rusty and nervous when missing match fitness and Medvedev on clay is not even top 50 player. Made so much money betting against him on clay. Still playing 3rd set against Zverev and I expect him to lose.

I expected Đoković to reach the SF, he had only Sinner to beat in the draw. I wanted to go with 2 (was thinking Tsitsipas and Đoković are certain and Medvedev and Ruud are out), then changed it to 3.
Medvedev just pulled himself out of a really tough spot vs Zverev (saved a few match points), it's really an interesting tournament so far.

Sevilla is just being Sevilla, eh? 2 own goals from United and Sevilla will go home celebrating with 0.6 xG. Amazing how often this happens to them, even when they are total crap in the league.

I had to watch Medvedev vs Zverev in from the second set, I would say Medvedev really dodged a bullet there, from being 5-2 in the final tie breaker, to saving 2 consecutive match points, but the real question is that can both remaining players pull it off tomorrow, especially Medvedev playing against Rune that have literally had it quite easy in the tournament, from a 2-o win, having a walkover against Berrettini today. But, I'm good with the fact that there are just 2 players left, I will take those odds.

Sevilla is just being Sevilla, eh? 2 own goals from United and Sevilla will go home celebrating with 0.6 xG. Amazing how often this happens to them, even when they are total crap in the league.

I went with a Yes answer because Manchester United and Juventus have been picking up points lately and both teams are doing really well this season, so I expected a comfortable win from both of them. Sevilla just can't give Manchester United a break in the Europa league. Just when I thought that they were going to be humilated after those goals from M. Sabitzer, Seville really know how to run the Europa league. I've learned my lesson the hard way. Maquire will always be Maquire; he is one of the club's most hated player, and this might not change until he walks on.

Glad I and my opponent went the way.


My tennis predictions are doing well, a surprise defeat for DJoko. Medvedev will play Rune, so I'll win either way, and Tsitsipas will play Fritz, so this is a must-win game for me to secure my first green. I'm sure they'll get through for me.

[arallmuus]

and it didnt take long and scoreline was screaming 2-2 and thats how a loosing wager turned to green...Football is so unpredictable

The cherry on top for the last minute Sevilla's goal would be Maguire conceding another own goal  . I swear that everytime he got subbed in, he either did something silly that would either cost a dangerous situation or an own goal. Its kinda funny in a way

I'm good with the fact that there are just 2 players left, I will take those odds.

So now I need either one of them to lose their next game huh . Gotta start chanting some magical spell for that

[slackovic]

Oh man, Sevilla really saved me last night. Actually Maguire and Malacia saved me with two own goals so now I'm 2-2 against ralle14. I really didn't expect both Juventus and Man United to win their games. I thought that at least one will slip and United did with those two goals in the end of the game.

[slaman29]

Boy oh boy, Uefa games are not your daily bread, here i was thinking of the two games between Manchester United and Juventus who would screw up this perfect double and my gut feeling tells me the Italians are the weakest link here and kickoff comes United prove me right atleast for the first 70 minutes or so , comeback to check the scoreline Juv has a goal and i thought am done for this round as both were winning, before you know it Sevilla are playing hard ball and United are being clumsily with their defensive duties and the Spaniards are allowed in the game with a goal of their own and I knew at this moment Utd will @#$%€ and it didnt take long and scoreline was screaming 2-2 and thats how a loosing wager turned to green...Football is so unpredictable

Wow, me too, well, anyone who is following football this season would be on the same page. Juventus would be the one losing to one of the best Portugal teams to be playing at the moment, and then they win it.

Obviously I cannot say much because did not watch any of the matches but the Manchester draw looks and feels like a big loss, especially if it's true their key players came off injured.

Good thing is I picked NO and Slissy picked YES!

Bad thing is he went for 2 favorites in tennis and I went 3. wth happened!

[buwaytress]

Wow. Maguire did us all a favour (who went with NO), didn't he? He is truly the gift that keeps on giving.

I did think we'd get some dropouts also in ATP but I was banking on Tsitsi to capitulate early... now I have to hope he makes it past Fritz, and also Rune to not play well. Matches start over the next few hours so I might actually get some eyes on them!

Medvedev's the slight underdog though...

I'm not doing well this round, I feel unlucky especially after my winning ticket was suspended, damn it.

That was some bet, I'd have taken it too if I were live and not already on losing tickets (Sevilla ML). Juventus was also on my acca though so I got past that risk. How did you get suspended though? Seems a legit bet... or you mean you couldn't place a bet as markets were suspended?

[Woodie]

I did think we'd get some dropouts also in ATP but I was banking on Tsitsi to capitulate early...

I thought he looked good on clay and would go all the way, but seeing the top guys crashing out so easily could be strategic as they buy time to rest as these games keep coming fast and furious.

now I have to hope he makes it past Fritz, and also Rune to not play well. Matches start over the next few hours so I might actually get some eyes on them!

Medvedev's the slight underdog though...

Afyer what i have witnessed, am hoping Sinner wins it, looks like the only best option atm.

If there is one thing I really dont like looking at it has to be the odds, 1.36 odds for Tsitsi and he played like a 5 odd lad, sad to see he crashed out at the hands of Fritz ....and thats how we all failed to pick a point in this category, Tennis

The game between Mancester united and Sevilla last night was a ridiculous and unexpected game where there was an own goal which ended in a draw.
You are still lucky not to lose the match bet If the score is a draw on your bet and congratulations on winning the Juventus bet, luck is still on your side, buddy.
I bet on Man United last night and only lost $10 but I'm a bit disappointed.
Man United's next match is against Nottingham Forest, so prepare your funds to bet again frend.

Well now confirmed, the teniis top seed was a joke this tournament, i dont remember this, the top 4 seed in a big tournament no reaching semifinals. What a joke. When i answer the question i think in this way.

1 its the worst pick.
4 the second worst pick, because you know, ever one guy have bad performance or lose against another top player.
2/3 was the number to choose, i choose 2 only because i know this boys now arent reliables.

You notice something in my analisys no? Yes i never ever considered 0 as a possibilitie.

You know what is worse? When I am making the question I am aware this is first clay tournament of the season and I expect strange results. That is why I make the question in such a way.

Then I am giving the answer and looking at the draws and thinking only Medvedev will not reach semi finals. Djoković losing never crossed my mind, Ruud is usually super consistent, Tsitsi is also good on clay and to make it worse Fritz isn't. Ah well at least nobody got the advantage here.

You might even take the lead tbh my NBA predictions are already ruined thanks to the three upsets that happened in the last few days and you only need the Wolves to win against OKC later today.

The same for me, 0 would've been out of the choices since there's always one or two of them that can go all the way then somehow it happens in this tournament. 

[entebah]

Ruud is usually super consistent

but sadly Ruud lose to a guy from the qualification round and his rank is 100 while Ruud is ranked 4
I just check the Head-to-Head for Struff J. vs  Ruud C. And I saw that Ruud never beat that guy from 3 previous matches

[casperBGD]

-snip

so many memes on him, he is great at marketing, always mentioned, in a harsh way, butI bet that 99% fans know him, and could not list other United defenders

point for you there, was happy when Juventus scored, but didn't last long

still, after Djokovic was out, all other top4 seeds lost too, didn't see that coming, expected finals from Tsitsipas

two more points in, you are up one point, tough situation

Yep, nobody did
I was sure about Đoković and Tsitsipas and favored Ruud as well, the only one I was sure won't get there was Medvedev.

This is really unusual though - but still, made the question really interesting. I wonder how many people will go for 0-1 next time we put a question like this into the league.

I root for Sinner now, although Rune looks good on clay this season.

[arallmuus]

4 the second worst pick, because you know, ever one guy have bad performance or lose against another top player.

Guess it is a worst pick after all because only 2 people including me picked that one. Yeah I know there is a good chance that some of the top seeds probably wont make it to the semifinals but I was just trying to be sneaky with that one probably got some miracle point right there lol. Glad that no one got point from this question


Sorry not really following NBA so far but so far the order of the answer for question #6 should be

East 7 - Hawks
West 7 - Lakers

isnt it? Now I need OKC and Miami to win their next game

[notblox1]

I didnt know you are tennis expert Trofo, share some of the wisdom with us who dont know anything about this spot 
For this round Premier league teams Chelsea and Arsenal will decide winners with Valencia from Primera.
I expect to see favorites losing in Division 2 so I can continue climbing up, that is vd309, slackovic, dbshck and darxiaomi, or everyone above me

Yes i thinked in a very similar way, i think well, we can have one surprise, and one top seed losing in hands of another top 10 or top 20 specialist on clay. But never ever can imagine this disaster.

Hahaha man, well in someway vd309 and i play against each other this round so one of us its leaking points. And in the last round i play against slackovic, really hard end of the season for me.

So now I need either one of them to lose their next game huh . Gotta start chanting some magical spell for that

Damn it, neither of Medvedev nor Tsitsipass could even win a set, no wonder in local are Tennis is called the devils sports, I also lost a potential very win and all I had on that slip on tennis was for both of them to win a set, and the odds for Tsitsipas to win one set is mere 1.14 Odds, I often would never such odds on my slip, but I only did as an incentive to watch both matches, but saying I was disappointed is an understatement.

How would anybody have expected none of the four players to make the semi finals, ?? I don't see anything but an advantage to Jannik Sinner to win the tournament.

Sinner is the most complete player left in a draw but clay is not his best surface. He did raise his game significant this season so maybe he can win it but my money is Rune. Rune has good clay results every season and if manages to stay in right state of mind this is his chance. Rublev is always hit and a miss player without plan B while I have no idea how Fritz ended up here. Did not watch him this tournament but he was terrible on clay in the past.

Somebody asked for tennis tips, here is a free one: play against Medvedev until clay season finishes, handicaps on underdogs and then simple ML whenever he plays anybody remotely good.

[cryptofrka]

Morning, fellas. NBA question has been calculated so please doublecheck.

To avoid any confusion, the only ones that get a point from that question in the freebet race are the ones marked in green in column N.
Cheers and good luck with the remaining questions.

We will continue with League Round 9 and the questions will be posted probably tomorrow in the evening.
