My own opinion - set betting in tennis on an underdog is a bad idea. If you like the underdog, just take it straight up & don't sweat the "how" - just the "if" of whether they win or not. The only time set betting makes sense to me is if you like a huge favorite, but want better odds.

You coulda just bet Simon to win but you got too greedy.

Generally I agree, too many permutations.

However, there are some players it's not a bad idea. For example, if you think someone will beat Nadal in a 5 setter, it's stunningly unlikely it'll be 3-0 as he's such a fighter. Thus take 3-1 and 3-2 (I did this with Murray at the US Open). Also some of the headcase types, who capitulate when behind - they're vastly more likely to lose 2-0 than 2-1, because if the opponent takes the first set it's over. Verdasco and Berdych spring to mind here :-)
