Serena -877

(All current Pinnacle lines)

Venus has been playing some of her best tennis in years in recent matches, but will she get out of the way nicely for her sister on Serena's path to a calendar slam?

Anyone betting it?

    Too much room for collusion. Whatever the family wants. Serena is the best ever but she would lay down for big sister.

    So, let me get this straight - Serena is going to lay down in a match vs Venus when the calendar grand slam is up for grabs?

    Give me a break...

    "Professional gamblers" like yourself should be all over that -877. You don't need any breaks from me.

    Check the past performance charts when these 2 were in the same event. Not only head to head either.

    I'll tell you what, lets bet 10k on it. If you will escrow 10 dimes with Edward, I will do the same. I will provide my tax returns from last year proving I am indeed a "professional gambler".

    So, put up or shut up you blowhard troll...

    I don't gamble with frauds. They have a penchant to be dishonest. In case you missed it, Fugazzy tax returns are a dime a dozen. I suggest you try remembering the professional gambler code I asked you about that somehow went over your head.

    Also, your reading comprehension is a little blurry. I said would lay down, not going to. Polish that GED up on the mantle.

    I'm not touching it. If anything I would do over. But I don't think Serena would lay down. This is going to be her grand exit from tennis if she gets this done. Although I do think she will come back to win one more to beat graffs record. If Venus some how makes it a close match I would not be surprised if she gives it up for little sister in relation to the magnitude of history Serena is going for

    Venus was impressive. I didn't expect that match to go to a third set.

    They have gone 3 sets more often than not the last few times they have played recently. Don't have the exact record in front of me. But I can pull it up from on court when I get home. It's pretty lopsided actually if I remember correctly.

    I tried cutting and pasting the results, but the formatting sucks.

    Thnx Tommy, sounds about right, so including tonight on the last 10, 6-4 on 3 setters and 8-2 on the Over.

    last 2 years that split not including tonight. So its not as lopsided as I thought.

    Thanks for the info.

    Looks like at least one spectator was happy the match was extended:
