Sweet. Right in the money if I don't screw up and get too many right.

[jdrb]

I tipped Azarenka to beat Serena. I can pretty much seal last place if that fails.

[JBT]

Thanks Sharapova for single-handedly killing like 6 of my parlays... f/u Safarova as well for further hurting my bracket.

[yisman]

both my men's and women's brackets are wiped out.

has the #28 seed ever been favored over #1?

serena rolls wozniackl in straight sets a couple rounds from now

i cant say i watch a lot of women's tennis but wozniacki seems like a pretty harmless #1

[yisman]

she's never won a major and isn't really considered a serious threat to win one.

She's ranked high because, like Safina did, she plays in a lot of tournaments.

Serena doesn't take the sport seriously and rarely plays but she's always favored when he does show up.

How many get paid in this contest? top 5?

[JBT]

Damn you Zvonareva... I only got Wozniacki left in the fight, the rest of my picks are all out

[shari91]

How many get paid in this contest? top 5?

top 3 due to the number of entrants

Which probably isn't right of me to say but 10-20 is perfect for me. More would be great but from a purely selfish standpoint, it's been excellent.

[dlweaver]

Can you post the updated standings?

see you losers for Australian open

[MCherry281]

Nice, I think I win if Serena wins

[JBT]

Shari, any chance you could post what needs to happen for a change in the top three? I'm lazy...

You're gonna need Stosur or Kerber to win it all to hang on to third.

[JBT]

You're gonna need Stosur or Kerber to win it all to hang on to third.

Seriously?? So in other words... you're telling me I'm fu©ked?

[dlweaver]

Please confirm SHARI if Serena Williams wins the final it is worth 50 points and an additional 100 points because she is seeded #28?

[JBT]

Fu#k... forgot about the seed rule. But come on now... this rule surely can't be considered in Serena's case? LOL

[dlweaver]

haha. That's the rules

[JBT]

I guess there's been additional +EV in picking Serena that I missed at the time... lol I actually thought I was being smart for leaving her out of the finals, hoping for an upset and gaining an upper hand over the rest of you squares lmao. Suits me right...

[shari91]

Yes. Gotta love the brainiacs at the WTA with their seeding.

Go Serena!

[JBT]

Um.... Go Samantha??

[shari91]

haha JBT - At least you'll most of Australia on your side. Think it's going to take a minor miracle though but there's always hope!

[JBT]

You're right, there's always a chance of an injury

Let's hope... for a miracle I mean

[yisman]

ugh, 4th is best I can do I guess.

[EaglesPhan36]

WillC should win all the points for picking Stosur.

[yisman]

^ Haha, yeah.

Since I couldn't win anything here anyway, I was able to root for Stosur more easily. The bets also helped.

[JBT]

Um.... Go Samantha??

Lmao... Serena's an ass though, suits her right.

[MCherry281]

That was very impressive WillC. Nicely done
