Sportbet in a publicity stunt are doing this......

Wimbledon Punters Delight
In an unprecendented move Sportsbet has decided to pay out early on win single bets placed on Federer prior to 2pm Sunday.We think Roger is a dead cert so have given punters their money early.

and also.....

Wimbledon Punters Delight-Part 2
After Nadal withdrew due to injury, Sportsbet have declared All single wagers on Nadal will be refunded even though it was all in Betting". Matt Tripp, CEO Sportsbet, believes in giving punters a fair go.

100% agree here grub wouldn't have held more than 100 total on fed to win the tournament and more than likely didn't hold a bet at all on nadal - this sort of self promoting bs really annoys me....

Agree DC.....Probably cost them a couple of hundred dollars but the exposure would be worth a lot more than that. I bet the press releases have been faxed off around the country.

Overloaded, why is Hewitt an embarrassment ?
Sure he cant win a Major or probably even a Masters level event but he's certainly not an embarrassment. He can still mix it with anyone bar the top 12 or so ;)
- I'd love to be an embarrassment and earn his dollars each year :lol:

G you are as usual spot on. Lleytons record when favourite pre match is one of the best on the atp tour so he is definitely not disappointing and you can always be assured that he will never give up when he is losing unlike other top rated players.

Im thinking of a sMALl trade at 160 as he will win round 1 even if I have to lay off at 140 due to del potro in round 2

Favorite v Gonzales Aus open - Lost

Favorite V Mardy Fish San Jose Feb- Lost

Short priced Favorite v Lu Yen-Hsun Delray Beach Feb- LOST

SHort Priced Favorite v Danai Udomchoke Davis Cup March- LOST

I could go on... and on.... The bloke has barely won a title since 04. 5 years in the tennis wilderness.

He is so far off the pace now it is a joke. The way he talks himself up is a joke.

Has beaten one top 10 player since the middle of 06.

The bloke can now be classed as nothing more than a mid 30's slugger.

I hope FedEX gets up - the purist of players I have ever seen - but I've had a couple of speccy bets on Blake and Ferrer for interest sakes.

Blake gone already unfortunately. Down 2-0 6-6.. led 5-1 in the breaker and blew it. Think there are only 2 challengers to the mighty Fed express(although was lucky on a couple of occasions to get through to the French final)... Djokovic can beat anyone on his day- has beaten Roger the last 2 matches and have never played on grass.... and Murray has a 6-2 head to head V Roger. Has it all over him right now.

Murray has the top half all to himself. He's the man.

The bolter of the field is Marin Cilic. Loves grass. Rapid rise in rankings.

Poor result for Blake. :evil:

Looking at the scores page makes you realise just how delayed the C9 broadcast is... :twisted: :twisted:
