Hello Mad!! Had Nadal been the outsider I MAY have bet on him!! At odds of, say $2.50 he would've been a very tempting bet, and he only lost yesterday's match in a third set tie-break. It is INDEED the price that makes the difference.
Example; my nephew wins the 1500m at his school swimming carnival and now has a race against Grant Hackett. At 2-1 no way, at 50-1 still no way, at a million to one I'll put a buck on the little fella ; big risk but commensurate reward!! Likewise Hackett at a million to one on NO WAY, at 50-1 on, still NO WAY at evens WELL......
K909, I DID overlook the 2nd round proviso on Nadal and have had to suffer the consequences. I suppose if I was a punter content with small risk/ small return (consequently, big outlay), I'd be more receptive to these sorts of tips, and methods (and maybe pay more attention). Being mainly a horseracing punter it has always sat better with me to see my 100-1 shot just miss with only $20 on it than the $1.50 hotpot likewise get pipped carrying $4000! (ie trying to win the same $2000).It strikes me that winning .1 or.2 or.3 etc of a unit is a form of slow torture where you never get far enough ahead to really make much money.Probably that's why 99% of punters suffer just THIS fate.
Still, if you have the patience, good on ya!!!
