I see, good observation.

As was the 3-0 odds, but they were at lesser price, so the total games made more sense to me.
|
|
By:
an astute punter would be able to bet on all of those markets and make a profit whatever happened on this match, probably. I can't do that type of thing very easily.
|
|
By:
these methods seem to require more stress than the £ to be made is worth. i only really do match odds markets and i'm very happy with the £ i make
|
|
By:
hence the database and s/sheets etc. they make it easier.
|
|
By:
but surely minimal stress is better. match odds = minimal stress, good £. can't complain. somethings are just better when simple. the beauty of match odds market are despite **** up's during play (which affect all other markets, unders, set betting etc...) the final result is what matters

haas vs isner. harrison vs isner. prime example
|
|
By:
Anderson struggling on every service game and finding it impossible to get into any receiving games.

Match odds isnt necessarily minimal stress. Yesterday I bet on Ormaeachea at her lowest possible odds for a minor trade and her odds shot off in the opposite direction with no way out.

It's not cumbersome AZ91, if you already know where you think the odds should be at certain stages during a match. e.g In this match if Ferrer goes 2-0 up in sets then I already know what odds I would back or lay to win 3-0.

Andersen is terrible. So little to offer. And what does that say of Raonic?
|
|
By:
shiraz : i meant making a decision from the start of the match

I think you either have to plan your betting strategy way in advance, or be able to quickly get to the stats to check the bet before you do it.
|
|
By:
speaking of stats. the IBM slamtracker has the "keys to the match" tab. do you guys think that is really relevant to who actually wins the match? how are the "keys to the match" criterea decided? surely it's based on data and stats
|

By:
the dodgy stream has returned
 |
|
By:
no, its completely pointless.
|
|
By:
there are two important stats to matches I think - aces, and first serve % compared to second serve %. Everything else is just dressing.
|
|
By:
surely the % of points won on 1st serve is more important than aces.
|
|
By:
I usually trust a player who has a greater % of first serve points won than second, and distrust those who are the other way round, and it is quite useful.
|
|
By:
i think that is the most important thing. #
|
|
By:
I guess it is a stat that can be considered with knowledge of who is playing. Aces in a match between Ferrer and Hewitt, for example, would be more or less irrelevant, but between Federer and Djokovic they could be quite important as in rallying they will be evenly matched and the aces are effectively free points.
|
|
By:
Same applies pre match but you have much more time to place bets at the odds you want.
|
|
By:
Federer is one of the players I would suggest rarely loses having hit more aces in a match. Aces are linked to confidence, and he is a confidence player, like a number of them.
|
|
By:
i think each match up is unique and each match up requires different sets of stats to be focused on (obviously dependent on weakness/strengths of the players and their key attributes and playing styles)
|
|
By:
incidentally, I noticed Ivo Karlovic was on Twitter earlier arguing that they should have a fifth set tiebreak. I thought to myself, no surprise there then, considering he is unable to win without tiebreaks.

Kuznetsova beating Kerber

By:
how does she play badly all year and then do well in Grand Slams?
|
|
By:
she/he
|
|
By:
Two horrible shots in three points....
|
|
By:
Andersen is just an embarrassment.
|
|
By:
I go for set betting if the odds for the match are too short. I only play in the 3-0 market, to lay it, or to back it. It's as simple as the match odds market, and the odds are very worth it even in short matches. Like SoA, I don't like to bet on any match without knowing the way the players have been playing and are likely to play (except for on this match because I was being dumb).

Gutless.

Anderson already matched at 1000/1 half way through the third set.
