    Is there any chance Federer and Ferrer Lose tomorrow?

    I posted this in player talk, but I think I was asking the wrong crowd fellow Tennis enthusiasts

    I have them as the last 2 pieces in an 8 team parlay. In hindsight not worth having added them to now be in this position, but do you guys think you would go about hedging their opponents?

    It was $25 to win $628 as well...

    Thanks for the help Tennis buffs!

    I'd put $$$ against Ferrer instead of Federer. Last time I saw Ferrer play is when he seriously struggled and lost to a big server (Ivo Karlovic) who's kinda like Raonic... but then again, he's playing on clay, which is much much slower than hard court so big servers aren't that effective as much.

    you can get +690 on cilic and +590 on raonic. I suggest put $ 60 on each, so you make out big no matter what happens:

    they both win: you win 508
    federer loses: you win 354
    ferrer loses: you win 294
    they both lose: you win 768

    *in the most probable scenario which is they both win you still make over 500.

    Calculation is correct to the dollar.

    508 = 628 - (60 +60)
    354 = 60*6.9 - 60 (cuz you win the 1st hedge and lose the 2nd hedge)
    294 = 60*5.9 - 60 (the opposite of above happens here)
    768 = 60*6.9 + 60*5.9
