I hear money in tennis is on big faves. I'd love to discuss more theory rather than picks if interested.

It is all about knowing who is injured, who has food poisoning, whose girlfriend just boned Tommy Haas etc. Tommy does this quite often.

Federer to win Wimbledon seems interesting to me, but if someone could figure the odds of a tennis player getting injured we could determine if its a good bet. If he is healthy he will win.

Haas gets chicks to strap on and bone him? Maybe I'm old school, but that's weird.

[Nick Rainey]

LOL that was not what I meant. A few of the pros wives and girlfriends have slept with Haas, thats what I meant.

this sort of stuff is definitely gold.

i imagine there is more that can be done with a modeling sort of approach though, as I doubt the lines are set with any more than a ranking + past record + surface performance sort of thing.

i had dreams of breaking down players into rankings for each of their skills (endurance, speed, forehand, volley, metal toughenss, etc.) and simulating matches point-by-point, like a video game. monumental task though.

Quick favor, if someone can really read the rules on tennis betting and find out exactly what happens if one player retires during the match. Because that to me is the biggest thing stopping me from betting more on some favorites, scared they are going to pull out or retire during the match.

But there looks to be a lot of value in underdogs, if you know a little bit of inside info which I get a lot, so just have to pick our spots.
