clement to bt murray at $1.97
Davydenko to bt Srichaphan $1.35

With 15 of 16 favs winning last night, it is hard to pick a longshot.


However as a favourites backer me and my bank balance are all smiles.

Longshot guess tonite is Phau bt Niemenen $3.25.

I am personally not backing either. I am on the favs to repeat their performance.

Srichapan tb Davydenko - $3.20
Djokovic tb Ancic - $3.20
Snaguinetti tb Moya - $5.00

Hope these picks weren't just for the longshot comp, you would've made a packet if you followed them

Lets see if Chuck copies these Betsy!
Berdych tb Agassi@$4
Robredo tb Grosean@$2.45
Marlisse tb Youzny @$2.30
Here's my bleeding obvious point-for-the-day:
All but one gets knocked out eventually!

you bet i followed them! Had a stack on all 3 + $10 on the multi @ 50-1! I didn't put them in for the fp comp though

Tonights outsider:
Tommy Haas vs Ginepri - $2.50

G'day Chuck!! Your good fortune is really great to see. I don't want anyone thinking I've got tickets on myself (!!!!) but it's really good to know that some here are following through an seeing things in a "different way". Over in the racing forums I'm STILL being abused for EVEN suggesting that outsiders might be the way. Keep it up Chucky Boy. Go you good thing!!!

Karla909. Hello too! Earlier on when you said you regarded the longshot "competition" as a guessing game, you were not really correct. It was an attempt to nudge people in the right direction,by allying deeper thought with the "competitive spirit". Having been pilloried several times before and during Wimbledon, I had enough (bruising?) experience of how difficult it is for punters to put cherished ideas aside FOR JUST A SECOND. However, once you do,and you win, your eyes are truly OPEN. Good luck to everyone.
Now, back to the gee gees.

I've said it so many times, but the most common mistake made by punters is making their stake according to the odds. People take odds into account too heavily. They should be backing them on their personal opinion, not what others have laid out for them
