    Pastor Maldonodo won the Spanish Grand Prix in Formula 1 last month.

    Odds for him to win that race were 300-1

    I think lt means one guy or team against another one, not futures or things like auto or horse racing with multiple opponents. This is definitely a bigger upset then a 16 seed beating a 1 seed in the ncaa tournament. Usa beating england in 1950 wuld have to b the biggest upset ever.

    I think a book in the Valley Elah had David at 1,000-1 to beat Goliath.A few goat-herders threw down a few bucks on him and then retired to a nice Villa on the Red Sea..

    Even though Nadal has done well on Grass he is not a natural grass player

    Not a big upset with tennis people

    Technically, Razzano was a bigger upset at Pinnacle since she closed at +6000 last month, and Rosol actually closed at just +4000

    in terms of odds for one game/match? Yeah probably considering Tennis is the only sport where they will throw out ridiculous odds like that. Wimbledon is a joke this year. All the scrubs getting fluke wins
