          Indeed, where did you find +2000 wow! I got +1200 in SBR Book (which I bet for the max), and I thought that was a fantastic price (at least at the time I got it) since 5 Dimes was in the +1000 to +1100 range at the time, and they often have the best odds on long-shots.

          But sad thing is, when the bet loses (as it did for both of us), getting a great price doesn't end up mattering haha. Ahh well, there will be others!

              At least she didn't tough it out to lose the first set something like 1-6. That would hurt much worse, I had her on the ML today as well.

                This contest is not really fair. Withdrawn players are just replaced with other players. Kvitova did not play, so Juvan took her place in the draw. Obviously I wouldn't have selected Juvan to go far, as opposed to Kvitova, but now all I see in red is Juvan, Juvan, Juvan.

                      is money returned on a future when a player withdraws or retires?

                            Yes 500 is the max I believe. Ok, I bet it a few weeks ago so no wonder the line I got was quite different! The bet definitely stands if a player retires during a match. If they withdraw before even playing the first match, then I'm not quite sure.

                              Yeah, that is unfortunate. I was looking over my bracket after first round wondering why on earth I picked an unranked person like Juvan to go so deep (especially when I'd never heard of her haha). Then I realized. Unfortunate as I said, but what else can they do? And it affects each participant in the same way so hard to really claim it's "unfair". Just one of those random things in sports which sometimes works in your favor (if you had her losing early) and sometimes against you (if you had her going very deep). Gotta roll with the punches!

                                Don't really see how this is an advantage to the book. Obviously some people might have bet against her winning this match or the whole thing - works out well for them. Not to mention those who bet on someone else to win it all inherently have their chances improved as a result so that helps them also. On the whole, obviously hurts some bets, helps some others, but don't see why it's inherently good for the book.

                                        how can it not count? you just get automatic wins every slot you had a withdrawn player?

                                              Osaka fights back again from down a set and a break

                                              she is one of the few players that continues to fight until the last point

                                                    my bracket is shot with kiki bertens retiring last night. Unless some long shots start winning some matches, but the top 15 are performing as expected. Should set up some great matches week 2
