Rafael Nadal shortens in the futures market.
Roger Federer, if betting odds and trends have anything to do with it (and they almost always do), is barely the favorite to win the Australian Open. He certainly has not been on form to a win a Grand Slam since the summer hard court season and now his odds in the futures market are starting to drift as he continues to drop matches.
Currently Federer is priced at +300 (3/1) with Sportingbet and Coral to win the Australian Open, but really he is more like a 10 to 1 underdog in Melbourne.
Without doubt, people are going to bet Federer based on his name and his past success, but our recommendation is to avoid Federer in the futures markets for Slams.
Rafael Nadal who is priced at +350 (7/2) with Coral looks like a much smarter bet than Federer is at this point.
Go to Sportingbet to bet on the Australian Open.
