    Sam Groth vs the dog getting +2.5 sets. Juiced up to -225 but decent for throwing in a parlay. So far this hardcourt season Groth has been pretty solid, only lost in straight sets once to nishikori, while beating several other players at least close to the dogs level in troicki, lopez and bellucci. On the other hand the dog is one of the most unpredictable players who you can count on sucking as a favorite and doing well as an underdog. Really don't see how this doesn't hit. Should go to at least 2 tiebreakers- where Groth is 31-19 for 62% win rate.

    Why not take the other side for + money if it seems like a poor bet?

    Thought he was playing Nishi for some reason, he should manage at least win a tie break set against Dolgo.

    Hope so of course there's no such thing as a lock in sports.

    7. Total Games/Games Handicap: If a player is awarded the match due to a withdrawal prior to the full number of sets being completed, all handicap & total games bets on that match will be No Action unless, at the time of the withdrawal, the result is already determined

    Doesn't this mean i should win??

    the books I bet at, it'd be a push

    I've often bet a player in a best of 3 +1.5 sets

    they win the first set

    other guy quits in the second

    Heritage says push because it wasn't completed even though it's a sure winner
