Give Roddick a chance at value, can get 12.00 at global sportsbet.... but "Fedex" is obvious choice

Amazing. He's just saying what I've been saying for quite a while.

Gee, not a lot of comment yet. I always wonder with these futures like the mens winner etc if you would not be better doing eight all-ups on your chosen player. Sure roddick is $1.04 for the first round so you'd skip it but the odds later on might make it better value.
Thinking of the first round, I just put a bet on Costa to beat Hewitt. Costa is Hewitt's white whale and the 11/1 will ease the pain of another early exit for Leyton. Looking forward to more controversy as the open opens out! Cheers.

Hi all!! Now that Roddick has crashed at very very very short odds (twice in 3 tournaments) and last years women's champ likewise, is anyone interested in a little "fun" as well as the serious business of tipping winners. Each day we nominate who we think is the most likely/profitable UPSET winner. Not only will this "probably" be as lucrative, or better than the usual penchant for following yesterday's heros, BUT it may be good for instilling an instinct which is not stats- or tipster- driven (we could call this a "feel" for the game). We could maybe allow 3 tips per day with only the LONGEST winner (if any) being counted. Or something like that.This would mean that 1 $3 winner was better than 2 $2.50 successes. Or maybe just straightforward POT. Anyone interested? Yes? No?

Chuck. To be fair I suppose we'll all have to use the same odds source. I like Calleri too, but he's $4.80 on Betfair. Likewise, looking through them all Hewitt's opponent is $11 on Centrebet but $29 on Betfair. What shall we do? On this point Chuck; if you are quick you can get $1.88 on Unitab for Asacuso and $2.18 for Horna at Betfair (that's less than 100%!!!!) Be quick.
