    Any reason not to take Gael Monfils -450?

    He's playing Grigor Dimitrov. I really don't even understand this line anyway. -450 seems a bit small when you put a player like Gael Monfils up against Dimitrov.. This is the US Open and none of these players are gonna roll over easy like in the small tournys. Monfils should crush this guy..

    Dmitrov is no easy match both are very unpredictable players and I would wait I think this line is going to go down

    That would be a scary thought. Monfils is ranked 7th in the world and is damn tough to beat when he's playing his best.. Theres a few matches you can go back and see he lost on the hard courts but it appears as if he did not try to win those matches.. Just can't see Monfils losing in the opening round. That would be a big time upset man.

    Monfils is too unpredictable. If he is at his best, but that is not consistent. I like Monfils, too, but why not parlay him with Fed, Nadal, Nole and risk like 100 instead of 450. just a thought. Could get you some decent value on the top 3 and keep the juice a little lower.

    I actually did that lol. I parlayed Monfils with Nadal, Murray, Del Potro, Federrer, Mardy Fish and Gilles Simon... Let's be honest here.. Nadal, Murray, Federrer and Fish are 100 % definitly advancing to the next round. Gilles Simon has like a 95 % of beating Ricardo Mello, I just don't see Mello beating him... and personally I love the Monfils play. I'm not gunna lay $450 to win $100 when I can throw in guaranteed winners... These are the best players in the world against mediocre to average tennis players.

    Monfils should win but please don't play this... This line is ridiculous, Dimitrov is massively talented and honestly I would never bet -400 or higher because its tennis and one injury and you lose all your money.
    Not looking at the line though, I think Monfils has been serving great, been very consistent on the baseline and has shown a vast improvement in his volley game and I haven't been impressed with Dimitrov. He isn't quite there yet and I think Monfils wins this in 3, maybe 4 because Dimitrov still can serve huge (remember what he did against Tsonga at wimbledon)

    What does this even pay out... Giraldo isn't a huge scrub, he plays 100% offensive game and that is the kind of guy that beat Federer - I mean counting on all the intangibles Federer should win but just look at this tennis wise. Giraldo at his best has a big serve and basically an unbreakable game.
    When has Fish impressed in a grand slam, I would never touch that line. Kamke is one of the best ballstrikers I have seen, honestly. He doesn't have any weapons really but at his best he literally doesn't miss and can come up with the pass if Fish approaches.
    Obviously this parlay will most likely hit, but wtf are you doing.. I'm just trying to help

    Lmao dude gambling is all about taking chances man. I respect your decision to look out for me and warn me about not taking certain players over another but c'mon man... Does ANYBODY really see Federrer losing to Giraldo? It's not some 250 tourny, Federrer is going to destroy this guy. Giraldo might be an average tenis players but he's playing one of the greatest of all time here.. Anytime I bet Murray, Federrer, Djokovic, Nadal or Fish I feel very comfortable with my money.. The only time I tend to stay away from these matches is if I see a game like Mardy Fish vs David Ferrer on a clay court for example.

    And I'm aware Dimitrov is an up and coming star who has impressed many people. He's rising through the ranks fast but still, Monfils should be to much for him..

    Monfils should win but laying that on Monfils is dangerous.
