Sports betting website Odds Shark had Fernando Verdasco beating Rafael Nadal at +550 back in 2015. The stage was the Australian Open, and even though Nadal was struggling up until that point, they still favored him. And when we say struggling, we mean not qualifying for a single final in a major in 2015.

To make things even worse, the head-to-head record between them had Nadal up 14-2. Losing wasn’t an option… until it happened. Nadal had the lead but couldn’t close out, allowing Verdasco to pick up steam and win. With those odds, betting $500 could have made you $3,000 richer.
