If you read what I said, you would see that I'm looking for comparitive value. I'm not talking about idiotic prices like $1.01. I wouldn't have even thought of making any of those ridiculous losing bets you mentioned. Seriously, anybody that consistently takes less than $1.15-$1.20 about anything is taking a big risk. I usually look for a minimum of $1.40 about my bets, but I will go lower if I'm extremely confident. Like Federer against Hewitt at Wimbledon. Quite simply, Hewitt was no chance of winning that match. As for your example of Roddick, it sounds like it wasn't a very big tournament. I know we have some Tennis experts on here who bet every week of the year, but I prefer to wait for the real big stuff where the form is more reliable, so I wouldn't have even looked at that match anyway.
