still putting Federer as only the third favourite.

5 to 1 odds in a particular website I use, while Murray and Djoko both are paying 2.8 to 1.

what do you guys think of that?

What do you mean why? Despite ther injury, they are still the #1/#2 player of the past 12 months. Murray is the defending champion as well.

I think that Wimbledon is 3 months and 1 major away. A lot of things can change until we got there. Djokovic can find his confidence back. I think he's the favorite for the Chanel slam, honestly. And there's always the surprise factor - usually Wawrinka, but this time we could have Kyrgios going deep.

Once I used to gamble a lot of money and definitely Murray is unreliable in terms of betting. I'd never put a dime on him. In one day he could defeat Nadal or Djokovic but in the other he can be caught in hot water against Matthias Bourge in the 1R of French Open.

1 on Djokovic
1 on Murray
0.8 on Federer.

If Federer wins, you get 4 for 2.8. If Djokovic or Murray wins, you get your money back. If anyone else wins, you lose all your money.
Just an opinion, my advice is to never bet on tennis.

Anyone betting anything on Djokovic at those odds has to be an imbecile. That's just bookies reflecting the crowd's kneejerk reaction to a big tournament and a high seed. But anyone who's paid any attention at all for the last year knows Djokovic is no longer a top player, and less than zero threat at a slam level competition.

ND and AM Currently nursing injuries, haven't performed great in the past few months, will be 30 by the time Wimbledon comes around...don't really see those odds staying there for those two. Definitely wouldn't put money on them at those odds.

5 to 1 odds for Fed seems like a good bet, but thats a long way away for someone who is 35. He's zeroed in on hard courts atm but grass plays differently, and movement could be an issue if his knee is bothering him.

Seem like really good odds, considering Fed knows how to manage his schedule very well. He's not playing any clay events until the French. Also, he was a set away from reaching the final last year on one knee. Healthy Rog at Wimbledon = Good Luck everybody else!

I think I'll put 40 bucks or something on Fed. The odds are better than I expected. It will be fun. If he loses, so be it.

I think Federer is the favourite. Much better chance than Djokovic, who is done on Grass. Nadal won Wimby in 2010, from 2012 onwards never made Semi. Same will happen to Djokovic.

Bookies need to learn that after winning 4 slams in a row, the man is FINNISH! :mad:

Seriously, give the guy a chance. Who knows, he might have mono?

Just put 40 on Fed and 15 on Stan, although I find it very unlikely for the latter to win hehehe

21 to 1 Stan :eek:
He had some shots... in 2014 he faced Federer, even took a set. In 2015 Gasquet took him to 5 long sets before eventually prevailing (I was really hoping to see a Djokovic x Wawrinka on Wimbledon that year). Last year it was a red hot Del Potro. I wouldn't bet on anyone wining the tournament as of now.

I agree to this, but not with the latter part. We should never write off a champ. As long as Federer, Nadal and Djokovic plays, they will still be favorites in any major they walk in. Djokovic was a finalist in last year's US Open and it took a very good version of Wawrinka to beat him.

Maybe wait till after clay season. Fed probly won't have great results on clay, after which his odds for Wimbledon might rise a bit.

It's gotta happen, you know he's due to win one slam each year, and he never defends his slam title from the previous year, so that rules out the U.S. Open. It really leaves you with a 50-50 shot for The French and Wimbledon. ;)
