Parlay for Thursday...thoughts?

i really don't understand the love for jankovic. she hasn't made it past the 3rd round in the past few years. mchale is an awesome young talent, playing on a big stage, and ready to make an impact. The name jankovic makes everyone want to pick her or put in a parlay but she really isn't THAT good at this point in time.

Well i'd say shes getting a decent price here....you have to give her credit for looking solid past couple games, so I think she should come up with a victory here without many difficulties.

she hasn't played anyone. Her first round opponent was 16 YEARS OLD and ranked 142. Her 2nd round opponent was ranked 149 and has never played past the 2nd round of a major let alone hardly qualified for ANY majors. you can't compare her play in the first 2 rounds and say "yea she has looked solid because she won easily" that's not fair. She has looked solid beating qualifiers while now she faces an actual SOLID player in McHale. I think the handicap of McHale +4.5 (+100) looks much better and valuable than Jankovic here.

By the way you wanted to know if I saw the parlay not hitting and YES this is why I see the parlay POSSIBLY not hitting.

Not to mention it also took Ferrer 5 sets to beat Sweeting and now he faces #27 Chela who he SHOULD beat but you have to factor in how he's playing as well.

Throw in Barthel +games instead of Janko-alien..other than that you are solid IMO

I'm taking out Ferrer + Jankovic and replacing with Del Potro + Berdych.

Less payout but I think I'll feel more comfortable risking alot with these two.

Or maybe Wawrinka is a better one to add than Berdych.

Hope you didn't add wawrinka
