"Can't imagine" has to be <1.01. By definition.
What do you know that rest of the world does not?
Or, if you prefer, how ignorant rest of the world should be to put 1.57 odds on something that "can't be imagined"?
Answer the question and you'll have the answer to your question.
I suspect it would be something like this:
1.57 represent the fair chance for Del Potro to win minus commission and thus, mathematically can not be
a winning proposition.
You still may win this time, but good long term investment it is not. Just can't be.
Unless world is ignorant, of course.
