606v2 ATP Picking game: Madrid Masters

First topic message reminder :

--Game Over--

How to play:
- Every player has 23 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 23 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 THREE of their 23 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 pick

Bogbrush, I had Dimitrov to beat Novak in this game and TSJ's one as well. The only place I didn't put it and the only place where such foresight would have been useful was the bookies.

Eh? LF and I have dropped a lot of points after only a few picks?!

3. Berdych d. Janowicz
4. Robredo d. Haas (djoker)
5. Nishikori d. Troicki
6. Anderson d. Monaco
7. Tsonga d. Haase
8. Almagro d. Youzhny
9. Wawrinka d. Giraldo

The numbers in the brackets usually indicate that there's less matches remaining than you've got picks, but by my count 22 matches remain.

12) Janowicz bt berdych
13) anderson bt monaco
14) robredo bt haas

15) youzhny bt almagro

The draw hadn't updated and considering I had an essay to finish I didn't wanna count it myself but if there is 22 then you are fine Silver

Thanks ryan and CJB. At least I'm 'only' on -5 now better add a few more picks in if there are only 22 left.

10. Nadal d. Paire
11. Ferrer d. Istomin

Well done to the four who put the house on Dimi!

Berdy bt Janowicz
Robredo bt Haas
Anderson bt Monaco
Istomin bt Ferrer

12) robredo bt haas
13) monaco bt anderson

Just got home, odds for Stan v Dimitrov are up, so

Dimitrov (20) - (5) Stan

Sorry if its too late for anyone

20 Dimi bt Stan

Just seen your message Silver

First two exams are next week, one on Tuesday, one on Friday so probably won't post tables and stuff for next week, just odds. If someone could do tables would be appreciated. I'm actually quite confident for the first exam, did a whole exam paper earlier and got 60/72 which is an A and for my Uni I only need a B in history. Just gets harder after that with economics which I really can't stand. Can only do my best though

good luck bud. I remember a levels like it was just 2 years and 334 days ago. Nostalgia....

And Lydian I missed your picks from yesterday purely because they weren't numbered. Please everyone remember to number cos I usually on skim and look for the numbers to know what to write down. Will try and remember the odds I'd given

Thanks LuvSports! Feels crazy I had my secondary school leavers day two years ago and now I'm leaving sixth form

18. Stanford bt Dimitrov

Ok, thanks CJB...I had written the picks but then realised my previous numbering was on the previous page. Cheers.

22) Dimitrov d Wawrinka

Kingraf, I think you're too late with that, it's 5-3 in the first now and I'm not sure that they played those first 8 games in 12 minutes.

Crud!! I wasnt home at the time. I was hoping against hope that I wasnt late

Yer sorry Raf, well luckily for you I suppose but the game had started

21 JWT bt Stan

Hopefully odds up soon or Murray is last game tomorrow so I can get em up when I get home

19. Stanford bt Tsonga

22. Nadal bt Ferrer
23. Berdych bt Murray

Over and out!

Murray (10) - Berdy (10)

22 Murray bt Berdy

22) Berdych d Murray
23) Andujar d Kei

20) Berdych bt Murray (DJOKER if I have one left)

19) berdych bt murray
20) stan bt tsonga

18. Stan d. Tsonga (Djoker)
19. Berdych d. Murray

Good luck when the exams do roll around, CJB. I remember the pain of history exams! Sounds like you'll nail it though.

20. Stan bt Tsonga (Djoker)

I guess the question is anybody going to Djoker Andujar and then hope Nadal collides with the umpires chair, is hit by a dead bird falling out the sky or accidentally misses the start time because he becomes engrossed in the omnibus of his favourite telenovela.

Absolutely shattered so won't format and order but scores:

CJB 70 12-10 2
Silver 23 12-7(1) 3
Ryan 306 18-5 3
TSJ 135 13-6(1) 3
Luvsports -37 6-13(1) 1
Supervisor 174 5-8(7) 2
Laverfan -165 1-2(17) 0
KingRaf 37 15-8 3
Bogbrush 223 10-8(2) 2
Lydian 227 7-13 2

No Djokers left, but I can't win and have broken even on results, so what the hell:

20. Andujar d. Nadal
21. Berdych d. Wawrinka
