Morning Macca!
I WAS on Agassi and have done the hundred. Don't forget, Macca, that picking mostly favs for the Major tournaments will see your profits tumble or be obliterated if only one or two are "surprised" by someone (ie Gaudio last year and Safin in the Aust). One upset a la Sampras (U.S. 2002 30-1) now gives me 21 more picks at the BOOKIES expense (ie 9 Majors have gone by and 9 units lost of the 30 units profit) while Ivanisevic at 100-1 (Wimbledon 2001) already had given me the "luxury" of 25 years to get it right before that. What it means is that I have to suffer 31 years (ie 124 units up at this point) of losses before I'll be in "in the hole" again . Can you honestly say that there won't be another "bolter" get up before 2037 (will I be on him? mmmm). The bookies got/get rich on the punters (mostly) backing favs and ALWAYS cheer mightily when a boilover occurs : wouldn't it be better to be with them (cheering) instead of picking up their crumbs???? All the best and, seriously, good luck with your choices, (especially whichever was the LONGEST price!!!).
