Thanks for the amiable challenge Mr Mad. After Wimbledon I promised not to give any specific tips until the US Open drew near. In both the ATP and WTA threads I did, however, explicitly warn NOT to bet Nadal on any surface other than Euroclay. This would seem to include Cincinatti (not in Europe and not on clay!!!) so you could've either bet Berdych and cleaned up OR not bet at all. If only one of our fellow forum followers, upon feeling "certain" of something, stops for a reality check (at $1.10 especially), I'll feel a warm inner-glow. Smarty-Pants 57 (mockingly dubbed Professor57 by Karla909, as well!!!!) over and out.Best of Luck.
