    I'm not familiar with US betting law, why can't US bettors use Betfair? I'm from Aus, and one benefit is we can gamble with quite a few companies (as far as I'm aware), with the major negative being that live betting is prohibited completely online, making hedging in-play more difficult for faster-paced sports.
    Aussie too. I just withdraw/deposit to my bank account fee free with betfair.

    Yeah, makes it fairly easy, although I try to deposit only by card. Although if I do start to use Betfair more i might look into using it straight from the account.

    Ok I've made my decision on this. The more I look at it, the more I think Azarenka will win. She will be hitting winners all over the place. I've just put a small wager on azarenka 2-0. I'll still be hoping for a Li Na v Sloane final though, in which case I will unload on Li Na.

    I wish there was a way I could buy this bet from you. It's worth about $1000.

    Put some money on Sharapova too. Then if she loses, put more on Azarenka in play.

    I bet he finds a way to borrow the 15k if that happens.

    Well Li-Stephens final looks highly unlikely at this very moment.
