More troubling is that Rafa delayed a decision that was supposed to be announced today on whether or not he will make it. I'm shocked that Federer is +750 for the USO right now with Djokovic at +130 and Murray +450.
I would almost be tempted to take Federer today, but I'm a draw whore. I gotta see it before I put my money down. Thinking this is the year to take some shots on the "mid" range prices that are going to offer huge profits potentially like Raonic +2500.
Really feels like this is going to be the most open Grand Slam on the men's side in as long as I can remember.
Hey Dude. If you have time to answer I'd appreciate it.
Tennis to me is a shit show the first 3 or 4 months of the season due to players not being in form so I'd like to have soccer or hoops or maybe even football to bet on.
What would you recommend as the easier option to start with or should I just stick with the tennis?
I actually think tennis the first half of the year is probably much better than the last half when bodies are broken down and motivation gets low due to the grind for a lot.
I love me some College Basketball, so I couldn't hate on that.

It's cool. This year has been worse than any in recent memory as far as post-Wimbledon form of the supposed top dawgs. Usually you still get good performances during the summer hard court swing, but with Nadal injured, Djokovic distracted and Murray woefully out of form - the real top dawg right now is Federer. Only guy who has shown up all year long. Only a couple tiournaments where he failed to make a deep run. I said it somewhere else, if anyone deserves to win the USO, it's Roger. I'd love to see it.
I really think this USO could be ripe for one of the young guys to step up and get theirs ... or for the old guard to maybe get one of his last.
Didn't know you were a NCAAB guy. My favorite betting sport as well.
Yeah I bet 2nd halves mostly using a little formula to calculate possessions and then hoping to guess right on the Over/Under.
1 halves for me. Use kenpom to find fast tempo, efficient offenses against weaker teams. Betting o/u's is sick shiit indeed, but I did know you were a glutton for punishment. Lol.

WTA Cincinnati: Ivanovic +1.5 sets @ -170
2014 Season Overall Profit: +2.05
Izzle pizzle w/Ana. Sharapova finally got herself dug in a hole she's not getting out of. Her serve is so schizo and this week it's been schizo bad even though she had found ways to win.
Ivanovic with massive choke job currently
She will lose this match
Wow no kidding, I quit paying attention. Last I had see it was 5-3 and she was close to a BP on Sharapova's serve. Guess typical WTA.
Fed will have gone to two finals In a row.. If he gets in to trouble with anybody early in the tournament, I'm pretty sure he won't have gas in the tank to win it all... Think about it While Djoker is not in the best of form, he is resting. Anderson is solid when he is on, he is resting. Tsonga, is resting.... A lot of guys were smart by dumping this tournament or the one in Canada... I don't see Fed being able to make it deep in 3 tournaments in a row.More troubling is that Rafa delayed a decision that was supposed to be announced today on whether or not he will make it.

It's his 4th final in a row, not 2nd. Also he has over a week to rest which is far more then enough and wouldn't be the excuse if he loses in US Open.Fed will have gone to two finals In a row..

Also Anderson, Isner, and a few are playing in Winston Salem so will have no rest.
Rest in tennis is overated and used as a reason by ppl on here to make bets far too often.
