Before you call me a nutjob here me out.I think with many players now more concerned with managing their schedule to avoid burnout and injury there is going to be more opportunities for qualies to make deep runs in the 250's. Obviously I would need my head examined to bet any futures on qualies in majors with 16 of em in each and they will never even come close.1000's I dont think either and even with Janowiczs run in Paris it was a anomaly.But in 250s especially last year we had Nieminen win and other players make runs to the SF or finals.I just think that after the top 10 or so players that the talent level gap is not that large and as you well know motivation for players in these 32 main draws where their is no advantage of having a bye and usually all the QF after having to play 3 days in a row are given 1-2 rest days before playing players that sometimes arrive to the tourney late or having to deal with other factors.Many times you can get futures prices around 50-1 and higher and once they win 2-3 matches and other top seeds have gone out their are many opps to hedge.Never more than 4 QF in one tourney, so I think you could keep your future bets small and wait until Friday or Saturday to see how they are doing. I have no stats to back up if QF are making deeper runs than in previous years, this is just a hunch.
All of these bets would of course go through 5 dimes as they are the only book that has futures on every mens tourney.
Please let me know what you think...
