Burning after losing my Jankovic +400 Play

BostonMike00 · Jun 5, 2013

I was targeting this matchup for a few days now Sharapova vs Jankovic in the French Open. I got Jankovic +400 which I thought was great value. Long story short I wake up to see Jankovic wins the 1st set 6-0. And of course for the first time in her career Sharapova wins a match after losing the first set 0-6. I don't mind losing my plays but at +400 i thought I made a solid play for the value. Just wanted to release some steam any bad beat stories over the last few days i would like to hear.

thats not a bad beat. she lost one set, she has to lose 2 sets to lose the match. many tennis matches go 3 sets. a bad beat is 6-0 5-0 and blowing that.

Have to say it's really not a bad beat.

Professional tennis players usually just save their energy and tank the first set if they are down 3-0 or more.

no, not if your somebody like sharapova, who breaks nearly 50 percent of the time. 3-0 is nothing to sharapova. she just no showed the first set.
