Edit2: and once more now that it is 2:0 for Medvedev but Sinner finally started to play @4.6
When I am going down I am going in style   Predicting Medvedev dropping off now and loosing his cool in fifth set

you should have a chance to get some on these odds @4.6, since it is highly unlikely to see this finished without fourth set
but overall, odds on Medvedev were pretty high before the match, and so low on Sinner
probably due to Sinner kicking-out Djokovic, but he took that as a tournament win (probably harder to beat Djokovic than to win AO, but that is another story), and now Sinner has to win AO once more, while Medvedev stepped-up from his underdog role

third set looks as a tie-break set, maybe we can see something similar to SF between Zverev and Medvedev

Sinner lost just 2 breaks of serve in whole tournament and he played 4 sets against Djoković. Did not watch him a lot but only thing against him in this final is experience. He is also younger and he spent a lot less of time on court so I think piling money on Sinner was a good call no matter the result. Maybe I will cash out something and let something ride. We shall see...depending on how match goes.

Edit: Just took Sinner for the first time today at 1.85, this is already much better than prematch odds of 1.35

Man, cryptofrka did himself a huge favour taking Medvedev early. Have a bit on Sinner with a friend so he's already bugging me for it.

Too sleepy to try take a live bet and Sportsbet app not responding bleh.

cryptofrka is just having a good week, yeah, he only does when it doesn't matter but at least my 1 mBTC should get him two shots of long beach with lime for the night 

Looking forward to seeing struggle when the league gets underway again, @Trofo please pay that lucky prick from my stipend 

------------------

Time to regroup for my team, holiday is over and we've got a lot of tidying up to do.

Medvedev vs Sinner isn't a final I'd want to bore my self with, I prefer to watch tennis that often involves great rallies and terrific shots being made not just some heavy service which set up for an even heavier return and we're done after 4-5 rallies, that's why I'd prefer to watch Alcaraz everyday and every night, he brings all types of tennis entertainment every time he steps on court, such a joy to watch.

Sinner would likely rank as either no 1 or 2 in the ATP rankings this, I reckon, in as much as his fitness doesn't wage any war against him.

Well... I really didn't expect that Sinner can turn the game around like this after losing 2-0 in sets. I think k he is the youngest winner of the Australian open with 22 years. I don't watch tennis usually but I was on Sinner's side today so it was an interesting match to watch. Trofo if you didn't cashout early, congrats for the win. It will pay out my sidebet reward

So Guys, according to what we see so far, in the semi-finals of the cup competition
Chi will be go to the final, awaiting the difficult games between Renato v Hampuz ,those who are tied in everything, whether in some small details in the penalty game.
I can say congrats to Chi20 , good luck Renato297 and Hampuz you doing good

Not yet, chi20 hasnt win the round yet. The current score of chi20 vs Renato297 is currentl 2-1 with 1 more question to settle this which is the final game between France vs Denmark on Handball. If Denmark ended up winning the tournament then their round would be settled on the penalties as well. Personally Im hoping that Denmark lose because I got my bet on chi20

Neither do I. I bet on Medvedev and was overwhelmed that he won the first 2 sets but stupidly lose straight 3 sets after that

Judging by how Denmark played on the tournament, I think they should win against France. They are a better team but you never know with France. I still have PTSD from the time when Craotia played against them in the past.

[slaman29]

Congrats Trofo, you must be happy. At least someone from Cro2 is getting something from tennis...

@LTU_btc we are both so shit but I think there will be one winner, I feel like you will get Denmark and I will get Napoli then we have to get the penalties with Inter. A league I know not much about but hopefully it's an advantage lol

If you want to get PTSD, you must be a Barca fan. I think their entire psychology is PTSD after losing Messi this is most obvious in their Champions League performance No need to mention last night. However even before that something broke and never got fixed!!

Watching a bit of handball and seems to me Denmark keeper is doing some wonders. Got into French players heads and now it gets difficult to score. On the other hand France is always dangerous, don't know if you guys have seen how they won against Sweden. It was the strangest handball game I ever watched, only culminated with Prandi goal after the siren. Never seen somebody score that shot with 6 players in the wall and always wandered why are people even trying.

Well, not really in the end
I texted Trofo when I started watching (beginning of 4th set) and told him 'shit, man - I'm losing this one'.
You could see Sinner turning it around, I would have cashed out for sure at 2-0 for Medvedev. Unfortunately, when I stopped playing football, they offered me 11 mBTC on a 20mBTC win - which I didn't take considering that Medvedev still basically needed only 1 bad game from Sinner.

[Chi20]

And France won in extra time.  We did it!
Congrats to Notblox1,  Arallmuus,  slaman29,  NavidArt and to everyone who placed a bet on my team,  glad we didn't disappoint you'll.  Next level on final...
@trofo,  told you France is very dangerous and you were doubted.

If Fiorentina scores but there are no yellow cards in 1st half, will it be decided by time of goal? Similarly if it's the other way around?

We're in for a real nail biter here

We're in for a real nail biter here  

Penalties are like in real football - initially just best of 5 and the next ones go 1 by 1 only if it's still tied.
Considering that in the first 5 penalties the only different one is whether Fiorentina scores or not, it will be settled by that.

Basically, you can hedge it and play them to score - it's a win-win for you then.

Oh, I misunderstood it then, haha. All good! I hope Fiorentina gets a goal early so it's over in that case

Yes, you can cheer all you like, I'm not a bitter loser, good game!

At least, I can pride myself in getting a win over Steve, who supposedly should know these sports better than me, and showing him that we're not dunking on no smoke in Division 1 and BSFL in generally.

But then buwaytress losing to Honest Alex is bad look for Division 1  

[cryptofrka]

Oh, I misunderstood it then, haha. All good! I hope Fiorentina gets a goal early so it's over in that case 

Would be, but for you
You have them not to score (at least in BSFL).

Yeah I'd prefer to lose early, rather than seeing a 90+7 corner goal scored by Fiorentina when it looks locked in   

[slackovic]

Well, shit! Trofo finally managed to beat me in a friendly game. If this was your second team, next time please bring out the best players. I guess my guys can't get motivated against young players. Congrats on the win!

Now on to the next round of the league.

It is on you man. I fielded B team and we only managed 2 correct. But your guys were so bad that even that was enough for a win.

Looking at other pairs I would have lost a duel with almost anybody. Best to forget this week. Winnings from free bet are already reinvested on another ticket. Will become 0 or 10 mBTC in 2 hours time.
