if you toss a coin 1000 times and you have head 546 times it doesnt make head more probable in your next toss

similar situation with those who looking for probabilities within probabilities its just wrong

looking for stats that players are more probable to win 3rd set coz they won 1st and it happened more often statistically are just wrong in basic because every match is a independent situation

probability of getting 2 way result is like coin toss(two way) just have different dimension in terms of weight of each side

Well done SOA.

Still think the duration does have to matter though.
By:
Srichaphan or Ancic?
When: 22 Oct 12 19:52
no it doesnt. The swing around those odds increases, but the starting odds should stay as a fixed point.
By:
edy
When: 22 Oct 12 19:53
yeah, but the starting odds are set for the players to win 2 out of 3 sets.

Look, you even said yourself the duration kind of matters as you don't think the odds for best of 3 and best of 5 should be the same. Why does that duration matter and best of 1 and best of 3 doesn't?
By:
edy
When: 22 Oct 12 19:54
Or even best of 3 sets and best of 7 points as you said
By:
Srichaphan or Ancic?
When: 22 Oct 12 19:54
the starting odds are for both players to win 2 out of 3 sets, i.e. the match. At the start of a deciding set, why should the underdog then be given more chance of winning that match of one set than the favourite?
By:
edy
When: 22 Oct 12 19:56
He wasn't given a bigger chance of winning than the favourite. What are you talking about? Isner was still mostly 1.35

*than the pre-match favourite
By:
Srichaphan or Ancic?
When: 22 Oct 12 19:56
so the underdog was given more chance than at the start of the match, for no reason.
By:

When: 22 Oct 12 19:57
because its getting more random?
By:
Srichaphan or Ancic?
When: 22 Oct 12 19:57
but it isnt.
By:
edy
When: 22 Oct 12 19:58
shorter durations generally give the underdog a bigger chance of success.
By:
Srichaphan or Ancic?
When: 22 Oct 12 19:59
but they don't, they have exactly the same.

Or less, if you use stats as I do.
By:
;[p
When: 22 Oct 12 19:59
it is, imagine you have 4 points to play, do you think worst player shouldnt have bigger chance to win, ? just one point and done. if match is longer better players statistic will take advantage and its less likely for lesser player to win
By:
Srichaphan or Ancic?
When: 22 Oct 12 20:01
youre thinking about it as if the favourite, if they go behind, cannot turn it around because of a lack of time, but not thinking about the reverse, if the underdog goes behind, it is the same situation for the favourite. So, those odds shouldnt change, but with each point against serve they should swing more around that point.
By:

becoasue its not getting less random and actual better skills/stats taking advantage nad single random point doesnt have much impact as when you would have only two points in a match
By:
Srichaphan or Ancic?
When: 22 Oct 12 20:04
Yet the better skills should have the same amount of advantage in one point as they do in a match
By:
edy
When: 22 Oct 12 20:05
It's not about turning it around in that one set. It's about having a set in reserve.

Or a full half in reserve in soccer, or a full day in reserve in cricket, or a full quarter in basketball, or a full period in ice hockey....

When: 22 Oct 12 20:06
tennis scoring system is not bringing justice when match is short,the difference between [players is not that big that you can determine it after few point or even one set, more longer match skills/better stats of a player taking over rather than one chance


just look at the darts for example, shorter match taylor is longer ,long match he is 1.x   common sence

no because the difference between players is actually quite small  so you need more chances to determine reasonable result
same as with coin toss if u do it 3 times u can have 3 heads easly if u do it 100000 times it will eventually equal itself to the probability



ok im done here,crzy discusion, i was in technical university would discus and explain it to u much better but my englihs dictionary is limited on mathematical  field

How often should a player win when they are at 1.2s?
By:
Srichaphan or Ancic?
When: 22 Oct 12 20:14
how often do they win when they were 1.2s at the start of the match and are just about to start a deciding set?
By:
Srichaphan or Ancic?
When: 22 Oct 12 20:15
its more or less the same %. But a bit more in favour of whoever won the first set.
By:
edy
When: 22 Oct 12 20:16
Exactly, because the player who won the first set has that one set in reserve that he's allowed to lose Happy
