So want to bet on Murray to win. What are his chances and what are the odds if I put £10 @Fenster @Silkeyjoe

I am 100% certain that Andy Murray is going to win Wimbledon. Make of that what you will, Master.
For the first time ever I make Murray the favourite to win.
I fear injuries have caught up with Nadal and his time at the top is over, Federer will play superbly for the most but have a 'bad' day where it all goes wrong - maybe early on, and when up against Djokovic I think home support and Murray being stronger on grass than clay will see him over the line.
Can't really remember how good Stan the man is on grass ?
Also not sure where Djokovic is scheduled to meet Murray - final ?
Murray is around 3/1. So your £10 will turn in to £40. You'll win 30 plus your 10 back.
Yes Murray cannot meet Djokovic til the final. Would be a huge ask as Djokovic just seems invincible. He has gone up another level compared to the rest. Certainly Murray has a chance though.Quote:

Or 'had' in the cases of Federer and Nadal.
And remember Master - when it stops being fun...stop. ;)

Sorry @ryanman - replied to my name without seeing thread.
So £100 would get me £300 back, I lost £100 betting on utd not winning the league.Quote:

Not to worry. I took a liberty answering on your behalf ;).Quote:

can't believe you bet - you sound like one of the tightest bastards alive usually
and of course you're a complete cunt too
If backing Murray I'd say now before the patriotic punters shorten his odds.Quote:

11/4 is top price with PP, Boyles and Hills. If you dont bet much and dont have lots of betting accounts Id recommend shopping around and getting the best welcome bonus. Paddy Power are doing a promo where you can get 18/1 on Murray to win Wimbledon if you are a new customer but think winnings get paid out as free bets rather than proper cash. Betfair are doing a similar promo at 10/1 but thing the the returns are cash.Quote:

that sounds a bit more typical youQuote:

Decided to throw a score at someone in the mens comp. I know who Murray (11/4), Federer (7/1), Nadal (20/1) and Djockovic (6/4) are.
Stan Wawrinka (16/1)? Never heard of him but he'll be lucky to make it out of the first round now.
Stan has just won the French open and on his day is unplayable but grass is not his best service.Quote:

Murray looks like he's just gone up a gear, he's just absolutely destroyed a very good player in Haase.
Murray looked much better in this one. Easy match and a warm up more than anything. I'm telling you gays, Murray is the man to watch this year.
Steady now, Master!Quote:

I think I'll stay away from playing the lottery for awhile.
GO ROGER!!!
Nadal is almost shot. He is like one of those all action fighters, that ages quickly. Still good on his day, but not as good as he used to be. Federer is in better shape because of his self preservation skills.
yes sad to see but let's face it we knew a few years ago with his injuries he wasn't going to be at his peak for much longer
The way he plays time was always going to be against him.
Would love to see The Fed win one more
Heather is losing to Serena. :(Quote:

Fucking great match.
Heather was astounding at some points. Just a brick wall. She will kick on and be world top ten.
Then Laura Robson gets back and she is better than Heather.
Robson was world number 27 at age 19 before missing two years with injury. Just back, still only 21, but a long road back to where she was and then beyond.
Murray winning this in a grinding, but easy way. Who was mocking my prediction win? I picked someone, who did you pick, and don't backtrack now! :D
There are two of them? Fucking hell!Quote:

I think it would be Murray - Federer in the semi. And Djok-Stan.Quote:
