How does a tennis player in the quarters earn odds of +10000 to win it all?

Don't follow tennis that much, but at 100-1 I have to put a unit on it.

Roddick has only lost one service game in four matches...Davy doesn't have a chance in hell to beat Roddick. BUT!...if you lay ten bucks on Davy and Roddick gets an injury you cash your ticket for this match; Davy will never beat Hewitt or Federer, thats where your number is coming from.

Davy would have had to beat Roddick -> Hewitt(on home soil) -> Federer to win it all. Add the fact that Davy was playing injured and that Roddick usually destroys counter-punchers and you get a 100-1 line. tough to overcome all that

Federer

Federer looks untouchable---has used minimal effort to get this far! He's primed to sweep the tourney!

Oh well, 1 unit lost on the tourney and 1 refunded on the match @ +585.

The wrong player retired. :>Grin>

Just thought if you made the quarters, +10000 had value.

Anyway, beware of the juice... :hanging:

Bases, if you look at the Euro Books you will find alot of individual match-ups i.e. Handball, Tennis, etc. the numbers are always juiced because most of the time there is a clear favorite. The only problem with these wagers is that your "all in" with no looking back; if a player gets an injury and can't finish your ticket is done too.

I received a good lesson 3 years ago at the US Open when Mark Philipoussiss tweaked his knee and quit while up two sets to one. Be careful but have fun, G
