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.

In case anyone missed it. Final moved to Sunday. Extra day of rest for both should make for a good match & extra time to take advantage of this line.

Prime Time. 8pm CT/9pm ET. Gives you something to watch if you don't give a crap about the Bears & Colts.

I give Jankovic a puncher's chance. Serena hasn't really looked that great. I got Jelena +4.5 games.

Yeah Jelena should win, almost like Peyton in his first Super Bowl. How can you NOT take her? Whats funny about that is I took a shot on the Bears ML but wanted Peyton to win. But seriously, she's very powerful and awesome on hard court, the BETTER defender/returner, however her serve can pose a problem.
