English bookies. Betfair are 5-6 Fed 6-5 Nad

Bet Direct 4-5 Fed 15-8 Nad

The only way I can justify ESPN using the term "upset" is that Federer has won five straight Wimbledons and it would be surprising if he finally lost one. If they were referring to the actual line itself then that would be rediculous.

Regarding the 'even' money claim its just lazy journos, he's -120 at best, easy just to round that up if youre lazy.

please I know people who buy 3.5 down to 3 at -130 at times... You guys are bitching to bitch about something.

ps

ESPN is gay stupid pathetic and yes they just outright suck. They are a media hype machine, but find something useful to bitch about.

Stop watching ESPN for their opinions. They have the dumbest guys breaking down games and analysis. Those ex-jocks are friggin retarded.
On the Forum, we all know that this is not to be the biggest upset in Wimbeldon history. I can say that and I don't even watch Tennis. That's how twisted and over-sensationalized those jack-asses are at ESPN.

Eh give em a break. Not everyone gambles like we do.

That line is unforgivable is actually true. I dont give a shit if you know nothing about gambling, it's just absurd and contradictory. I'm pretty sure "even money" is practically common knowledge, and then to call the opposition a huge dog in the same sentence? WTF?

It would be an upset, but you know how ESPN works. They sensationalize everything into whatever they think it should be - not what it actually is. Yes, by that I mean they lie.

slight upset if he wins

Betting lines determine upsets
