Not being a betting man, becoming intrigued (i.e. it's driving me insane reading it and not knowing what it is ) as to what you mean when you keep referring to the "greenbook"?Agreed. But if Yen-Hsun Lu knocks off Roddick, (leads 2 sets to 1) then Novak should make the semis.
Then I'll be sitting in a greenbook and won't care either way.
Haha. Hewitt, just didn't have the mojo last night.Bad luck Mister Wright
To someone who was 20-20 in Slams going into this.Venus out then. 6-2, 6-3.
Being 'bluebooked' or 'greenbooked' means that you've traded on both sides such that you win, or at least don't lose on any result.Novak! wag
This tournament's his from here on in

So you can't lose either wayWhat would be the point in doing that?

...zyou don't lose.
The aim of betting is to make money, yes? So ideally you'd want a situation where you are assured of a victory 100%. You margainalise your winnings, but if you can bluebook everything you do then you never ever lose.But if you didn't want to lose, why would you place any bet in the first place?
Basically, to win money.What would be the point in doing that?
Getting off track, but it's not just when you've bet on the outsider. It's when the market moves favourably to the position you already had. You could back Federer at $1.15 and lay him off at $1.01 and be greenbooked.Basically, to win money.
Nah, it's when you've got a decent price on an outsider then you use something like Betfair to take the price on the other guy/team, when they're trailing.
