Tennis fans: Save my honor

I bet Roddick at 20-1 to win the match. I am now being made fun of mercilessly. Please bail me out and tell my friends that this was a good bet. Thanks.

Great bet if you made it pre match, you could have got 1-6 Federer and locked in a tidy profit, so it was +EV.

It was a prematch bet.

To put it in perspective, Federer was 1-16 after he went a set ahead.

Or you could have JUST bet on Federer, since it's like free money.

roddick will beat federer in the U.S. Open final more than 1-20 times.

It's probably like 1-15. I mean, even Federer has an off match or two. Look at the olympics.

That's said, I'd bet against Federer about never.

The 'correct' price was prolly 18-1, so yeah, not bad.

Yeah, definitely a good bet. Shoulda hedged it though, Federer is beastly.
