Federer was down 2 set points against Gonzalez on his serve, hardly a great bet.

Ridiculous comment starz a winning bet is a good bet mate...

A losing bet can sometimes still be a good bet, but a winning bet can never be a bad bet....

Facts
2.0 to def Djokovic in straight sets
2.70 to beat Roddick in straight sets.
2.25 to beat Gonzalez in straight sets, just to name a few.
Until yesterday i don't think Federer had even won a Grand Slam Final in straight sets despite having won 10.
You do the math.

It’s just another aftertiming thread, everything looks good after the event.

what the?! how can you say that when at the end of the day it was a winning bet, haha
When West Coast played Carlton early in the year at Subi they were about 1.08 to win and were down by 10 goals at one stage. Sure, they won, but I definitely wouldn't call that a good bet despite the fact it won.

Sure the Fed didn't drop a set but I'd want better odds than 4.50 midway through a tournament.

And to the thread starter, if we could use hindsight on all bets there'd be no need for this caper. It's all about improving your predicting skills ;)

Also where was this bet available: Triple J Top 100 - Any other song $17 ? What song ended up winning?

I got Serena after Round 4 because I saw what a good draw she had. Stoked. Other than that, though, had a shocker in terms of sporting bets lately.

One Crowded Hour - Augie March. A worthy winner.

How can you say a losing bet can be a good bet, but a winning bet can't be a bad bet?

Either only winning bets are good bets and losing bets bad bets, or if you take unders on the winner it's a bad bet, and overs on the loser it's a good bet.
