    Monfils Price Drop

    May or may not end up meaning anything as you know my views on line moves, but this is a massive one where I would just not bet this match with a ten foot pole if I had been thinking about it.

    Monfils price has dropped nearly $1.50 since it opened.

    What was the opening/current line? I don't see anything unusual.

    Monfils was -500 24 hours ago. Now -315.

    No worries. I put $1,000,000,000 on Golubev, and that's why the line shifted.

    On a serious note ... EP, do you think bigger line shifts are more common for an event like this, considering the main sponsor is bet-at-home.com?

    Maybe it's just this damn tin-foil hat getting to me again.

    Now I see why I was confused. A couple places opened in the -300 and the line dropped to -500 soon after PHT went wild and then now it's back to the -300 range.

    It's a 500 level event, fixing would be under a microscope more for these. I just know big line moves, best bet is no bet.

    You were wise to back off ... A strange, WTA-esque start to this one. Each player has broken his opponent twice.

    Lots of raciss folks out there. Monfils won easily as expected.

    For all the line move freaks, yet another example where it means shit. Don't ever think you know what a line move means in tennis. It's an unsolved mystery 9/10.
