Default Women's Final: Don't Think Twice

Take Jankovic at +310. How could you justify taking Serena at -380?! Horrible line by the oddsmakers. Yes, Serena may smoke the young Serb in his FIRST Grand Slam Final, but we're talking about players who are very close to even! Just look at Nadal & Murray today if you need more incentive. Similar pricing & Murray is up 2 sets!

They've split 6 lifetime meetings, all on hard courts. This pric I think is somewhere similar perhaps to what Jankovic got vs. Serena at the Aussie quarters where Jankovic won in straight sets. Serena got some revenge in Miami, winning in 3.

I just can't fathom this line. I thought Serena would be -150 to -175-ish, but when I saw this - I said F laying off this one. I get guaranteed futures money no matter who wins. Gonna throw half of it back onto Jankovic at this juiciest of juicy prices.
