roddick is +510.<br><br>That means that for every person that bet against him, there are 5 that <br>are on him. You're telling me that there is enough idiots to lay -500+ <br>against roddick that it will even out this play?<br><br><br>I doubt it for some reason. Either this line is way off or it will drop to <br>300ish because of all the action.<br><br>I dont think he will win, but I dont think he will lose 6 in a row in this <br>exact situation either.

    I put a little on him Roddick winning 3-1 +1500 and 3-2 +950.<br><br>Thanks for the notice. It is worth a little change to try this one.

    hell those are worse odds that the +510.<br><br><br>He isnt winning 3-0 so you got a good value play there at 3-1 and 3-2.<br><br><br>My money is on him not winning 4-3......

    To my knowledge, Andy has only beaten Roger once. That was back in 2003 <br>and the match went to the third set tie breaker. <br><br>Roger looks just as good this year as ever. I wouldn't bet against Roger <br>myself. He's only lost 3 games in the 60+ he's played in 2005 alone.

    Where did you get that prop of not winning 4-3? I'm with you on that one <br>and I'm getting a loan for $1 billion to put on it. Know why? They play <br>best of 5 sets, so a 4-3 outcome is impossible. <br><br>Don't take this the wrong way, not trying to bash you in any way, but <br>would to know where I can place that wager. Thx and good luck today.<br><br>GooseSTL

    it was a joke, that is why the "...." was after it. <br><br><br>After explaining all the ways to bet, I figured Id be funny and throw out <br>something stupid. Guess some people got it and others didnt...

    In my opinion, this is a perfect example of how sportsbooks make money. <br>They know that more people will play Roddick than Federer at those odds. <br>When Federer wins the sportsbooks will win.

    they dont care if everyone and their brother play Roddick, the line will <br>go down if we do. They only want the money split up 5:1 here. Im sure <br>there are idiots out there laying the -550, but only 1 idiot for every 5.5 <br>people taking a shot. <br><br><br>Once again, I dont think Roddick wins this match tomorrow, but I also dont <br>think he loses 6 in a row either.
