Yeah but I had already added that to the 180,9 score!!? I think..

Ah yes so you did

You appear to have added 16.6 for my bet 18 haven't you? (not 16.5 like it should have been) so I actually think Ardeo wins by 0.1pts and gets the extra bet

That's true, we aren't as famous for the 10 year old prostitutes as the other places. You visiting that 20 year old again dude?

What are you implying with that first comment?
Thankfully I have never seen any such thing on my travels, although I'm sure it exists, as it does in the USA too.
Thankfully Cuba has very strict rules on this subject. Commen prostitution is also very harshly dealt with.
So strict in fact that me and my friend can't walk alone together at night in the big cities. As police will most likely stop her and put her in jail for the night+.
Cuba has in the past had a bad history on this subject. But that has drastically changed in recent years.
Yeah visiting her again. "Make or break" time I think. Either go for it full speed. Or end it.

Hmm.. well not easy to say really. More 50/50 I guess.
I have good feelings for the girl. But we have “issues”.
Trust issues, age difference (I’m 8/9 years older), language challenges and some other stuff that has happened that leaves me a bit unsure about the whole thing.
My friends (that know the whole story) feels that I should end it..but just a part of me not ready to give it up yet.
One of the biggest problems is for her to get a visa to Norway. We tried with a tourist visa, but got denied. And reading the rules and what other people say, it seems like it could take years for her to come to Norway (even if married!). And that factors in to it also.
Living in Cuba seems impossible too. Can’t own anything, can’t work really..and yeah just not an option. Shame, because it is very cheap there at this time and the Country has some great potential for the future.
I mean I could afford to buy/rent a place - bar or something now (and I’m not rich), but it would have to be owned by a Cuban.

Very annoying!!

As soon as the Man City game finished (West Ham were up 2-0 so assumed they were safe) I put in a lay at 1.2 for £100 (so to lose £20) which got matched, suspect they wouldn't have got much lower that 1.17ish so pleased with that

Was a bit gutted after the games were over as I thought I had done that treble in real life (which I had) plus that treble with Serena both in real life and on here, thankfully I just did that treble plus the anti Stu bet 12 so had Bolton held on I would be a bit miffed right now.

Verdasco to beat Nadal 3-0
10pts at 28.0 with Betfair

StuNick

30-01-2009, 08:12 AM

Having watched the first four games this isn't such a stupid bet, Verdasco should have broken Nadal in the fourth!!

Finbar

30-01-2009, 08:16 AM

Yeah, on fire apparently, though bottled his break point according to the betfair forum. Laid Rafa at 1.16 for £170 and also have Verdasco to win 3-1 as well as 3-0, just think Nadal may not have his heart in this one which is often what he relies on

(Nadal will win 3-0 now of course)

Finbar

One down (or up), two to go, come on Verdi you can do it!! :lux:

Lol Finbar

Brilliant match in the tennis, some unbelievable stuff from Verdasco especially.

Finbar

30-01-2009, 01:33 PM

Managed to lay off my bet on Verdasco to win the match by backing Nadal at 2.08 (he hit 2.1 so was quite chuffed with the timing) at 2 sets all, 4-4 0-30, still would have been better off with a Verdasco win but happy enough

Sounds like a cracking match!

ardeo

30-01-2009, 01:53 PM

Watched as much as I could (while at work) and Verdasco was making all the running, was only due to a few sloppy errors here and there that Nadal won. Although Verdasco was playing at such a level it was always going to be difficult to maintain. I had no bets on and was just enjoying it :)

Finbar

30-01-2009, 01:58 PM

I had to meet the g/f for lunch after the 3rd set and assumed it was game over. Amazed to see it still going when I got back!

In the end it was 192 points to Verdasco and 193 to Rafa, separated only by the final double fault at the end! Rafa hit hardly any winners but also hardly any unforced errors. Longest Aussie open match ever apparently

ardeo

30-01-2009, 02:13 PM

Such a shame that Verdasco double faulted twice in that last game, without them, was 2 points a piece.

Should be a good final, Fed in 4 I reckon
