Australian Open 2015
I can't believe the prices for the Djokovic-Wawrinka semi-final match. The market has Djokovic as a 1.25 favourite, with Wawrinka at 4.8.
No way is Djokovic a 1.25 shot to win that match! Wawrinka is a vastly improved player and he's beaten Djokovic here.

Well, Murray never fails to earn some cash for us...thanks Andy - another great effort at the Aussie Open!
Going into the final, I had a big win punt on Andy at 12.5, he's down to 3.0 now. The question was should I green-up everything prior to the match, or gamble on Murray to go all the way?
I thought the prices on offer prior to the start of the final were about right (Djok 1.49, Murray 3.0), and if anything, Andy was a bit short. I didn't think there was any clear value there.
I hope its a another close match, but I'm not confident of the outcome on this one. Djok is to a hard-court what Rafa is a clay court, so under these conditions you'd have to think that Djok would be very hard to beat. Murray is playing very well, but this is a hard court, not a grass court like Wimbledon, and that favours Djok.
It could be a very close match, or it could be relatively one-sided. Just very hard to call, and I'm not enthusiastic about gambling on this one. Might just take my profits.
