federer winning aussie open

[jackstraw115]

was just poking around, don't follow tennis like I used too, but saw that the field vs federer was +210 at pinny. I understand that Federer is the man at this tourney, but the field is pretty damm wide and talented (nadal, roddick, blake..to name a few worms in the field). With so many vairables in a large open like this, it seems like a worthwhile bet to throw a few bucks against federer on. any thoughts?
srry, its actually +217

Until I see him lose another major (other than the French) I would not take the field against him. He has been too dominant and hasn't showed signs of slowing down.

yeah, he is the most dominant, complete player since lendl was at the top of his game...besides clay this slower surface makes his game somewhat suspect against the true grit baseliners. Jeesh, was just checking his stats...the guy is untouchable on grass and the quicker hard courts..I still think the bet has +ev in my noobed opinion..

Roddick has no chance really. The major threats are Berdych, Davydanko, and maybe Blake.

I do not think either side is a very good bet.

I assume Fed is -230 or so... If forced to bet... That would be the side I take.
