Gez, Roddick is priced at 500-1 underdog to win the US Open 2012(betfair). I'm taking these odds. Former winner and finalist, he is certainly not that big of a underdog. He probably won't win but then again no one thought Soderling would beat Nadal on RG. One can always lock profits in a final by betting in favor of the other player I bet $8, payoff if he wins, $4K. Just ridiculous
Guess people were overworried about injuries. But he just beat Blake in 2 tie breaks. US Open is his most important tournament, he wouldn't be playing a ATP World Tour 250 event if he wasn't feeling good
If he reaches quarters or semis you can bet the price will more efficiently be priced and these odds will tighten up A LOT. I can take profits at that point
Hussman growth underperforming SPY by 2500 basis points YTD. Sheesh. :eek: http://www.google.com/finance?chdnp...60&cmpto=NYSEARCA:SPY&cmptdms=0&q=MUTF:HSGFX&

Interestingly enough, it looks like Kyle Bass should be added to the list of famous victims of the JGB widowmaker: http://www.businessinsider.com/whoa-kyle-basss-performance-really-is-that-disastrous-2012-5 I confess to feeling some schadenfreude, in spite of knowing it's wrong. Also interesting is that Hugh Hendry, on the other hand, seems to have done the short Napaj trade the right way.
