match odds imply odds on winning single set, e.g. set odds of 1.3 lead to match odds of 1.156 (bo3) and 1.092 (bo5), 1.5--> 1.35 and 1.266, calculation has to be done with binomial distribution. Watching in play you have to think if what has happened so far changed odds of winning a set from pre match.

assuming an equal probability of winning a single set.

bo3:

P(match) = P(set)^2 + 2* (P(set)^2 * (1-P(set))


bo5:

P(match) = P(set)^3 + (3* (P(set)^3 * (1-P(set))) + (5 * (P(set)^3 * (1-P(set))^2))
