Betsy what is the address of the betting site you use?

Hewitt loses to DENT!

I'm glad I learnt last year to never bet if Dent is involved. He can really put a dent in your funds (no pun intended).

I have to say, I was tempted to bet big on Lleyton. I'm very happy to have dodged this bullet. I also dodged a bullet this morning, waking up too late to bet on Detroit. I'm a lucky guy today.

my predictions: Rafael Nadal to reach the final

Other good chances: Robin Soderling, Nickolay Davydenko, Fernando Gonzales and Mardy Fish

Backed Thomas Johannson to win this a few years back before the first round and Marat safin to win the US Open before it started as well! Both of these were around the 50-1 mark. I somehow have a knack of picking tennis outsiders, but i haven't tried my luck at it since, except for Guillermo Coria to win the French Open 2 years ago @ 30-1 (he reached the semis). Although i guess you could also say that no one was dominating world tennis back then like Federer is now!

Interesting to see how these outsiders perform!

I left Taylor Dent out of my selections cos he is very unpredictable...i remember him belting a ball into the crowd and breaking his racquet in successive points last year after i had backed him to win the tourny, so i had gone off betting on him for a while...might have to rethink though ;-)

Anyone got any thoughts on the fact that Ljubicic and Moya are both 1-0 down in their head to heads against their oponents tonight?

I think Moya should be a safe bet and i like the look of ljubicic, but there is some doubt creeping into my mind as to how sure a bet these are

What were the odds? I thought he had a good chance with that huge serve.

Hewitt was 1.10.
Dent: $5.85.

Geez, I should have had a look. I would have rated him no more than a $3.50 or $4 chance. I must admit that I've really been much more interested in the Hopman Cup. Alicia Molik's playing well.

I think Myskina will beat Molik.

anyone have the odds?

In what???

hopman cup

arent they versing each other?
