Cool Tennis parlay of the year

E. Dementieva -130
Rafa Nadal -450

Risking 9 units to win 10.53 units

I'm sorry about the Ana pick guys. I learned my lesson with her, have picked far too well to stay down because of that, made a good recovery the other day getting back into the positive, and with this parlay we'll be in pretty shape again.

If you want any form of a write up or to ask a question, feel free. And get it soon because the odds will only get worse.

Eeesh. I dunno bro. There's at least one more upset in the quarters for the chicks. I think the Williams' sisters probably advance, but one of those other two seems prime for another upset.

Petrova has beaten Dementievea twice on grass but that was several years ago. Take Lopez +140, Schuettler +102 and Vaidisova -129.

Oh geez.Dementieva's serve cannot be trusted.Also can't forget her collapse against Safina I believe it was at the french.
Best of luck though
Nadal will win over Murray.Murray blew his load and then some today

Dementia has all the tools.Great player I agree.Mentally though she is very poor.Can't be trusted
Petrova isn't that great either though so I still think you win your parlay

I certainly hope it wins. I am not parlaying, but i am on Dementieva at -131, -127, and -130. Nadal is putting my kids through college one match at a time.

For tomorrow I am also on Vaidisova, and Venus (small). No play in the serana match, I have Serena winning 75% of the time, so the oddsmakers and I agree on that one.

If you want any form of a write up or to ask a question, feel free.
Here's a question: why did you decide to recommend just a parlay rather than, two straight bets or perhaps two straight bets and a parlay?

The underlying question is of course, with what probability do you expect to win each each of these bets?

Dunno, I quite fancy Petrova but I won't be betting on it cos it's quite hard to call.

Vaidisova is cracking value to beat Zheng though. Tanasugarn is also worth a few speculative bets at +650

Ganch: I think it is psychological. Same thing with people who lay -1.5 runs at +140 instead of laying -145 to win.

I can't see Tanosugarn threatening Venus if Venus is playing even decent tennis.

Who says I'm not already doing that?
