No, you could have just lit your money on fire and accomplished the same thing.
Just kidding, but likely no you wasted 100.

Feel free to rub it in if she shocks the world.

My opinion is that Bartoli is a bit of value, albeit at long odds.

+2000 is a pretty good price in the current market, she was +2400 in places this morning, and has been a bit of money on her during the day, +1750 or so on Betfair at the moment as a gauge.

you really have little to no chance. Maybe Henin sprains her ankle. Its mano-a -mano so you never know

fair enough Santo, but it should be noted that Henin is much more stable than Jelena, from the back and equally important between the ears. She is a Champion

that said its a massive longshot, why not I suppose, Bartoli is arguably in the form of her life

my 2-cents

From a trading perspective (on Betfair), I'd be surprised if there's not a few ticks in it at least at some stage.

Justine breaks early, up 4-1. This looks like a repeat of their match at Eastbourne. Just too much class for Marion.

This is just excellent commentary right here.

I inadvertantly played Henin to win 1st set instead of Henin. It may sound/be kind of stupid but I have been parlaying the huge tennis favorites (not all of them) together with pretty good success of late. random stupid shit like Henin/Federer/Not Gasquet in 3/Not Berdych in 3/Bryan & Bryan and maybe some boxing matches to not draw.

Yeah. 'Dialed in'. I like that. I think we killed 'In a zone' in the 80's or sometime in the 90's.

she had a chance to go 4-1 but blew it. Now she'll be done in two sets.
