The fact that you keep reiterating that you have "close to no chance" makes me want to stay far away from this wager.

Something I didn't really consider.


Say you catch this 120 MPH serve at the baseline. He rushes the net. Where/how the F can you throw it that he can't track it down relatively quickly and crush something you can't get to? Obviously, if YOU ever catch it near the net, he's dead meat, but I;d think an accomplished player would have no problem keeping anyone back.

i'll bet any amount of money up to $50k that i could beat you in a match (say up to 30-50 points) where i start each point with the ball on the baseline, and you can stand wherever you want.

Yes, I love how Nick's posts all make him seem like this benevolent guy who just loves to gamble. When in reality, it is quite clear that he's almost definitely getting the best of all of these bets. How do you think losing 10K means nothing to him? It's probably not because he loves to blow up to 100K on prop bets where he has no chance of winning.

Well just for the icing on the cake, matches over $20,000 will 6 super hot models/escorts as the ball girls. Under $20,000 we will have to settle for regular kids. If I can find a private court, we can have topless ball girls, that will be a lot of fun.

I could probably get Durr to play you for 20k just for the spectacle of it all. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

#1 I'm not a good tennis player.
#2 I'd almost take you up on this anyways, since I doubt you understand the logistics. But I am old, out-of-shape, and haven't played tennis in over ten years.
#3 As I initially stated, this is versus a player with a 120 MPH serve. Make this bet with Nick, and I'd be interested.

SP's bet has HIM starting with the ball in his hand on the baseline. His point is that he can throw winners from there. Not that he can catch 120 mph serves.
