tevari, you need to learn: If you can't handle the stress, don't watch. Especially not on clay. Being a break down means nothing. Especially in the first set when players are acclimating to the court. I have him in a parlay as well and haven't regretted my decision at all.

I was also on Youzhny yesterday and wondered why he was only -400 against a complete unproven. When he was down 1-4, I thought he was gonna lose the first set, but had a good chance of winning the match, since his opponent had never seemingly shown any signs of being capable of a big win. The fix didn't seem likely either, since Youzhny was champion here last year and has points to defend. But sometimes I wonder if these top players tank a few games for live betting purposes. Down 1-4 and only a -400 favorite to begin with, I bet you could get Youzhny at even odds. Tip people off you're going down a break or two and get them to take you at even odds against a mediocre opponent. Sounds possible. Profittable, believable, and better than tanking the whole match.
