I almost forgot what a winning day felt like. My crossbreed parlays actually paid off, but not before I nearly had a grand mal seizure watching Cincinnati fall apart like an arctic glacial shelf, but thankfully they hung on to cover. If you didn't hear, I didn't want to pay the asking price for Sharapova and Ivanovic, so I parlayed those matches with college hoops games -- and amazingly, it worked out for a nice profit.
In other shocking news, Melbourne became Dog City again when Tsonga smoked Rafa to get into the final. I've been wrong about a lot of things over the fortnight, but I had a sneaking feeling Nadal was overpriced at -500. Hope everyone avoided that trap.
Now the schedule is clear for the match of the tournament when Federer and Djokovic get it on at Rod Laver Arena. Djokovic is still my pick and I like him even more now that his price has improved to +220. My book doesn't offer over/under on games played but the over on that might be a good play if you can get it. If last night proved anything, it's that underdogs are always live at this point in the tournament.
But whatever happens in this match, it should be worth staying up for. Enjoy.

Just thought I'd add my post on the Federer-Djokovic match:
Novak Djokovic (+200) to beat Roger Federer ... If you don't think it can happen, just watch this. Djokovic has only beaten Fed once in his career but he has the power, the athleticism and the court savvy to go toe-to-toe with the world No. 1 and win. It won't be easy, Federer isn't going to give anything away, but see a slight decline in Roger's game. It's tough to stay on top as long as he has and I don't see the same killer instinct in him that he used to have. I think both players are on equal footing in terms of ability, so this will come down to a battle of wills. Call me crazy, but I'll take Novak in that case.
CRAZY, i like Federer in four. Good job with your parlays yesterday
