Is this Christmas? 1.47 for Pav to beat a 16 year old who has never won a WTA match (Zarina Diyas and Chanel Simmonds do not count, even if they were main draw matches)?
Barty may well go on to be a good player as she looks to have some considerable talent, but I just can't see anything to justify this price. The set which Mona lost 6-2 to her is entirely meaningless, since Mona was just clubbing the ball out of the court on every shot as only she can. I didn't see Cibulkova lose her set to Barty, but it seems that, like Mona, she just woke up and clubbed the child off the court - 6-0 6-1.

Judging by her twitter, she has an ankle sprain and hates the humidity.
She sprained her ankle in the second set against Dushevina, but won the set and the next. Then she beat Akgul in 2 two. So it's difficult to judge how much of a problem it is.
At least the price suddenly seems explicable.

barty beat pavlyu in australian open this year straight sets
Scattered showers forecast and 80% humidity.
It's the same for both players either way.

it may well be the same conditions, but one of the players is a fat sweaty layabout who has wilted in the heat plenty of times before.

I was thinking on lumping on Pavlyu until I noticed that thos las Barty beat her straight sets ... now I'm thinking of laying Pavlyu
Looks like Barty fell over on entrance to the court and her left foot fell off

I would take a look at them from time to time ...., why?
Looks like the massacre has ended ?
I layed Pavly at 1.15. Lets see whether I can trade a little

blind umpire, that was long by a half meter
jeeez what a mug pavlyuchenkova is...such bullcrap shots on break points really pathetic. now set is far from over.
if pav holds but not break again, market will start to raise a little bit the odds
DStyle, I know you disapprove slightly of the sweaty, fat, half-roasted pig - yet, tbh she did well winning a tb in the third against Dushevina given the heat and humidity. At least, she is roasted with some pride.. ;-)

6-2, 6-1
close call ;)
i think she has huge potential zappy. she's gets my abuse because she's squandering it through being lazy
right you are, excellent timing and technique, bar the ball toss
which is easy enough to fix.
the thing is, she's not one of these girls who was a chubby teenager who is now trying to drop the weight
she's a double junior grand slam winner and wasn't anything like as fat then as she is now

keeping her coaching in the family as well was an awful idea clearly as she went from her mother to her brother.
she needs someone to kick her up the arse damn hard.
she should be top 10 minimum and be turning up routinely in the second week of hard court slams

In the end I didn't place the bet because I wasn't able to watch it and I don't like suspiciously high prices unless I can watch the match. Looks like I missed out on huge value.
Still, I'm glad to see that my prediction was correct. It's easy to say after the event, but Pav really should have been 1.1 here, hence the 'Christmas' implication in my OP.
It could be that we are going to see vastly inflated prices for Barty's opponents, until markets realise that she is not anywhere near ready to take on top 50 players yet. The Australian tennis setup really shouldn't be sending her to main draw tournaments yet imo, at least not those that get a proper complement of top 50 / top 100 players.
hdieu, Marin, bulletdodger - I hope you were all fishing. Barty and Dellacqua beat Pav and somebody else in DOUBLES at the AO. Utterly meaningless for singles.
