Scott,

I think Murray is the man. I hear the arguments about Grand Slams etc., but I don’t think they stack up. It won’t affect Murray - maybe Fed and co will play a little better but Murray is the best around on recent form and I don’t think there’s a strong enough reason to oppose him.

I’ve backed Fed & Jankovich to win the Oz Open, doubled them up as well. I can’t believe Fed is being written off.

Hi Bert, hope your healths better.
Who do you fancy for the Oz Open? Im thinking of betting both Fed and Murray with Del Potro as an outside bet.

Andrew, well done on your bets.

As regards the Heart stuff, its patently obvious.

Too much chocolate = Too much caffeine = buggers ya heart, as per all those ‘boost’ caffeine drinks too.

Sorry to hear about the irregular heartbeat. I had a similar experience about a year ago and had a really rapid (and irregular) heartbeat. My GP did a basic ECG and then phoned for an ambulance. I was in dock for about 5 days as they tried medication to regularise things. It worked after four days and I was discharged. I’m now on Warfarin, indefinitely - together with a heart drug, again indefinitely. My problem is called atrial fibrillation, which can be quite scary. Had the medication not worked then the cardiologist said I would have to be given that electric shock treatment - I think it’s a defibrillator. Glad I avoided that! Hope your irregularity soon reverts to normal but you were so right to seek medical help.
Regards, Phil

James,

I think you’re right - I had flu fairly recently. I’ll try to get Steve in on the odd day as a feature blogger - he’s a long odds backer on the whole and I don’t think he would want to publish his thoughts too often as it damages the price.

Hope your health improves quickly, I have been advised to avoid heavy workouts after flu or heavy colds. You may find this was the cause of your problem.
Can you encourage the friend who has been giving you advice to post it would seem he has good information.
