Watch me turn $1000 into $6000 (currently -$300)

Last year's Wimbledon Men's final is where I began the greatest gambling run of my life. Picking the Djoker to "upset" Nadal at +130 odds was like taking candy from a baby.
This year it's a little more dicey. The value is clearly on soon-to-be Sir Andy Murray, who owns a career 8-7 edge over Feds, however he is notoriously skittish in "big matches", and this is (for a Scot) the biggest match in the recent history of tennis. Will his mentor the great Ivan Lendl allow Andy to channel his famous icewater-into-veins and rise to the occasion in a measured, calm way? Or will Andy press and collapse under the weight of a nation?
My money is on the Chris Martin lookalike, in 4 tough sets. History will be made. Money will be won.
Below: The wagering ticket that could lift MinnesotaTiger to an historic second public run on TigerDroppings.
Below: The scene at Centre Court would be chaotic if the 25-year old Scotsman pulls the upset.
Below: Though not publicly posted on TigerDroppings, last year's Wimbledon's Mens Championships were very kind to MinnesotaTiger.

he looks nothing like Chris Martin
and if Murray wins, it's in 5. i'm picking Fed in 4, though. 4 very, very close ones.

Here's what I put my other $200 on - Brewers action bet hoping that the great Zachary Greinke gets the rare back-to-back start.

I think it's on ESPN. "CST" referred to the time zone, not the channel.

It's not like it says 9:10 Eastern on the bet ticket or anything.

Are you going to whine and claim you're quiting the MSB again after people mock you when Federer wins tomorrow?
