    venus williams

    THought it was pretty funny how every single comment on ESPN streak for cash was

    "I thought she retired years ago"
    "Bertens wins easy"
    "Venus loses 6-0 6-0"
    "People only picking Venus based off her name"

    Call me a sucker then because im on Venus today. Guess I will risk fading all the ESPN "experts"

    Currently 71.3% of the picks are on Venus on SFTC so you're actually in the majority which means you're running with the sheep. Sorry to ruin your illusion of being a maverick on this one. BOL with Venus.

    Disagree. Sheep are on Kiki. Numbers say Venus but I don't buy it...especially when NOBODY was commenting on taking Venus, not a soul. Liked Venus before I saw that and all the moron comments made me like it even more.

    Blue, Venus is playing Flipkens not Kiki Bertens; big diff. But yeah, I am sure Venus does not want to lose in the 1st round of what is probably her last US open. Looks good for you in the 1st set.

    The K. Flipkins / Venus Williams pick on SFTC locked at match time with Venus having 71.1% to 28.9% for Flipkins which makes Venus a majority pick. What you fail to realize is that a very small -- but vocal -- minority of the total pickers in any proposition on SFTC post their opinions on the chatboards but they do not necessarily represent the majority, and certainly in this case -- taking into account the representative comments you posted -- it appears to be a case in point. Regardless, it appears that Venus is kicking ass and taking numbers, so it appears that you are on the correct side so congrats.
