Simon head-head was -259
Simon 2-0 was -105
Simon 2-1 was +300
1 unit +300 = 3.0U
3.16 unit -105= 3.0U
risked 4.16U total
4.16U -259= 1.62U
Obviously I won the -105, but I had the +300 for fewer units as insurance. the big cushion must be based on possible retirements. I didn't bet federer/murray, but you could have worked it out similarly, but not just risking 1 unit on everything, risking to win the same number of units. could be a good strategy on a heavy favorite to cut the line, but if stepanek had retired, then maybe I lose everything, but maybe I get no action.
