    Austrailian Open Futures

    Might be too early for this, but my book has listed some futures and I thought we could have a little discussion with Day 1 being a few weeks away. I think Ferrer at +2750 is too good of value to pass up. The guy won't get taken out in the first 3 or 4 rounds and is an easy hedge after that..Tipsy at +4000 seems nice too as he could make a deep run if healthy. Anyone else see value in this list??


    NOVAK DJOKOVIC +150
    95502 ANDY MURRAY +300
    95503 ROGER FEDERER +600
    95504 RAFAEL NADAL +750
    95505 JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO +2100
    95506 JO-WILFRIED TSONGA +2500
    95507 TOMAS BERDYCH +2500
    95508 DAVID FERRER +2750
    95509 MILOS RAONIC +3000
    95510 BERNARD TOMIC +4000
    95511 JOHN ISNER +3500
    95512 JANKO TIPSAREVIC +4000
    95513 MARIN CILIC +4000
    95514 JERZY JANOWICZ +4000
    95515 GAEL MONFILS +4800
    95516 ALEXANDR DOLGOPOLOV +4800
    95517 KEI NISHIKORI +4800
    95518 RICHARD GASQUET +4800
    95519 MARDY FISH +4800

    If Djokovic doesn't win it, then Murray will. Don't waste your money on anyone else.

    The hype surrounding him is ridiculous. He caught fire for one tournament and suddenly punters are going crazy. Even for trade stuff, 40/1 is not value, he had one good tournament.

    Most of the value in these futures lay in the hedges my friend. If Ferrer can reach the quarter or semi finals and you have $2700 to play with (Assuming you throw $100 on him at 27:1) you can easily just fade him and bet his opponent.
