That's a maths error surely though? You can't use cumulative values when working out odds?Consty1 wrote:Based on @PinnacleSports closing prices, the accumulative odds on Andy Murray winning all his eight Davis Cup singles matches was 1.804.

Just got the odds from Dan
Young 1.036, Isner 1.073, Tsonga 1.178, Simon 1.128, Kokkinakis 1.040, Tomic 1.060, Bemelmans 1.010, Goffin 1.097
So converting those to % 96.5, 93.2, 85, 88.6, 96.1, 94.3, 99, 90.1
So Murray had a 54.7% chance of winning all those matches without a loss.
Odds of 1.82
I reckon Davis cup team will get team prize and perhaps Fury for the individual. If there ever was a sports personality, he is it!

I guess Tyson Fury is out of the running now: -

Perhaps Mrs Webb would like to explain why Peter loves Tyson Fury so much
