    and yet Tomic has shorter odds to win the tournament!

    I was showing that Tsonga was +400 for quarter vs. +1200 for Tsonga

    and then said Tomic had shorter odds to win the tournament.

    Which means 5 Dimes's odds don't make a lot of sense again.

    I see what you were trying to show after explaining it.

    I read it properly the first time.

    I'm not sure what you were saying then. I guess I should've deleted Federer?

    All I was saying is I don't "need to read it again". You needed to write it again if anything. ;-)

    I guess it could've been clearer but I was showing the side by side of tomic/tsonga, how tsonga was a lot shorter to win quarter but tomic shorter to win tourney


    was typing quickly because football game was starting

    Don't worry. I'm just being argumentative I suppose

    That's actually a real good bet cause every seed is in jeopardy except for Almagro, but Mugro is always in jeopardy on every surface except clay

    Going through 5 Dimes's odds and noting more oddities.

    Julien Benneteau +5000 to win his quarter, but he's +150 in the first round.

    Meanwhile, guys like Troicki and Harrison aren't even listed to win their quarter, even though they're favored to win the first round match.

    Why is that an odditie? I think Dimitrov would be practically even with Tipsy (better line than Hewitt for sure) or Almagro (maybe favorite, public fav), not exactly but if Benneteau can get through that he can easily break through to win the quarter.

    Harrison has ZERO chance against Djokovic, Troicki's h2h vs Djokovic speaks for itself

    Troicki and Harrison are also two players that are very similar in that they are slumping and their game is horrible but people expect them to be better again somehow? Both of them play bullshit on the baseline, both are very passive but can be aggressive when the first serve goes in, both have big serves, Harrison can't hit a proper backhand while Troicki can't hit a proper forehand. But both are some of the best fighters in the game, but there is a thousand holes in each of their games

    Federer has the most difficult draw of the top four by a sizeable margin.

    I agree but the only thing is Murray has Del Potro in the quarters while Federer has Tsonga and right now Del Potro is the most dangerous outside the top 4 (including Ferrer here but obviously they would have a real tight matchup)
