    This thread officially got buried!

    Fading a guy that was 62-2 on the year and 5-0 versus Nadal this year just bc you're getting +150

    Djokovic was obviously the safe play. I mean the guy was 5-0 against nadal this year.

    i think that was another reason people took rafa. the old "theres no way he can lose 6 times in a row to him" thinking.

    I can see using that reasoning after he went 2-0, 3-0 against him but any more than that it becomes obvious that Nadal can't beat him.

    i also think that the line of +150 or there abouts put the thought of "hey the books think this can go either way. i'll take the + money guy" in peoples heads.

    True. +150 always looks more inticing too.

    Yea, this is the old Martingale style thinking and probably the reason he wasnt +250 like he should've been, ppl will keep betting Nadal at +150 even though hes 6-0, oh he cant lose 7 or 8 or 9 or 10 in a row

    Yep those previous 6 matches were just flukes
