    Toss-up is right. Keep in mind Starace was suspended for gambling on tennis I believe so that fact alone leaves me a little skeptical of touching any of his matches. If I HAD to bet this, I would take him as he is a little better but what if...just what if his $$$ is on Schwank? He wouldn't have to collapse THAT BAD as the talent level between these two is not too noticable.

    From Wikipedia

    Betting scandal

    Following Alessio di Mauro's 9 month ban in November 2007, Starace and Daniele Bracciali were eached fined and given short suspensions from playing. Starace received a fine of £21,400 and a 6 weeks ban from January 1, 2008. All of the players were Italian. None of the bets pertained to matches they were involved in or had any stake in. (Oh, I'm sure..just like Donahue is the only shady NBA ref and Pete Rose never bet on his own team and Gretsky's wife was the gambler, not Gretsky)

      Weird line movement.....

      At Pinny: Starace went from -110 to -116 to -110 back to -116
      At Bodog: Starace went from -120 to -110

            Have to be a degenerate to put too large a bet on this one.

            I'd take the dog (Schwank) 1st set, this one is going the distance. If you're looking for a safer play I'd advise you look at Tommy Haas, he's only a little more than -200 and other than Sam Querrey he's a guy I can see winning that tournament (Indy).

                Yes, but all his bets were ten or twenty euros, and not on his matches either. It was a technical suspension, they just had to uphold their laws. Unlike certain Russian players I could mention.....
