He's actually a great player to bet against. The effect of losing matches from winning positions lingers, and is devastating. It's like a bad beat in poker. SOme people it festers and others just shrug it off. Just make a list (if you have the stats which you can get from tennis-data.co.uk in csv form), of every player that bombs out after losing a close set. They are weak mentally. And similarly, look at players that win set 2 after losing a close set 1 (go and see Bianca Andreescu in ASB classic 2019, playing Venus Williams ... loses 1st set 7-6, comes back and beats her 6-3 6-1). 7 months later she's winning a US Open.
Was just messing around with Tableau and made a games handicap checker. You just put in the starting (bet365) odds range for the favorite, and then see how many times the fav beats the games handicap (choose year range, tournament and what handicap spread). I posted it online here;
Quite interesting that the French Open and WImbledon have the lowest handicap cover rates, which indicates that players can't make a smooth transition to grass and clay. I can't calculate profit/loss numbers because I don't have the starting match odds for the handicaps.
very interesting and very good analysis, thank you.

De Minaur playing a guy he should slaughter, and he can't win a point. How excellent!
Hopefully if he has an injury he retires. But losing a set 6-0 should not have a huge effect. It is not like anything has been invested in it.
Medvedev losing to Gasquet is also like a cold day in hell.
for the record Ugo Humbert just in the 2nd set had a total of 11 break points in 3 games in a row and didn't convert a single one, 0 for 11 and then obviously he got broken straight away; he is so weak mentally he is going on my black list never betting on him again.

Lyon about to start and I'm taking Bedene to beat Kwon. I have this as a much more even contest than the odds do and probably the reason for Bedene being so big is his relative lack of activity. Clay is his best surface though so I think he's got a decent shot at winning this.
10pts Bedene to beat Kwon @ 3.00 365
i took him too , serving for the match in the 2nd 5-4 30-0 up , lost 4 points in a row to get broken and then...
he probably had decided not to reach the 2nd round prior to the match because of RG next week , i wonder how much money his relatives made betting against him when Kwon was at @15 then @5 then @2
hope he gets trashed in the 1st round at RG

for example ?

Busta absolutely disgusting attitude, he had already decided to lose the game before even going on the court; no idea how he could be in top 20, watching the match i thought i was watching an underdog ranked 100 with odds of 7 or 8 not world 19th with odds of 2.30 ; awful mistake taking him.

With two matches yesterday and a 3 hour match today, I would give Alcaraz almost no chance of winning against Busta. Normally he being a 1.66 favorite would be OK, but his opponent has been chilling out , recovering for 3 hours more. No way Alcaraz should be fav here.
Busta will probably grind him down. 1st set is critical, but if Busta wins it, you won't get more than 1 to 10 on him.
Just looking at the Esotil qualifying. AM taking Tabenerer over Miralles. Even at 1.53 its a decent price.
thanks for your feedback, that's exactly what i was thinking but you explained it much better then i did lol.
i'll go medium stakes on Carreno-Busta hoping Alcaraz is just totally out of gas.
-
Pablo Carreno Busta won a quick match , the Alcaraz game was a hard fought 3 hours and a half match with tie breaks and tons of deuces.
anyone thinking taking Carreno Busta is value simply on the energy / tiredness factor?
-
anyone taking Monteiro to beat Khachanov at 2.40?
Khachanov is the better all around player but Monteiro is a clay specialist and just beat Krajinovic in straight sets as a 2.60 dog.
-
Personally, i'll wait to watch a few frames before placing a bet.
it should be noted that Xintong won his last 2 long games (first to 9 and to 10) while Higgins actually lost his last 2 long games also first to 9 and first to 10; of course we have to take into account their opponents but still it's interesting.
-
had Kyrgios 1st set, serving for the 1st set and obviously gets broken and then loses the tb , typical rat face man
-
thanks to both for the feedback on Nadal / Evans.
-
Nadal in his last match was losing 2 breaks down 2-5 in the 3rd set and came back to win 7-6 which is really impressive but might also show that he is not as sharp as before?
Tonight he is playing Daniel Evans which has a good serve, i am thinking to take Evans over 7,5 or 8,5 games, any opinion on that pick?
-
Jak Jones is such a sh!t show , unbearable to watch
-
Maguire what a disgustin clown, i had him money line at 1.6 can't believe he did not win after being 3-0 up
-
Zhang anda forever on my blacklist, 4-1 up to losing 4-5
-
the 4th frame where he missed the pink and then an easy red would have made it 3-1 , that 4th frame killed me; after that he knew he missed his chance and lost his confidence
-
Ding losing the 4th and 5th frame while being well in front was absolutely awful to watch, both frames he should have won
-
yesterday Day against Dott was shockingly bad, then Dott also was very very average; even the eurosport commentator was saying how a low level match it is; of course it doesn't mean that today Dott will also be that bad; but yesterday they both looked like ranked 80th or 90th players.
-
It's kind of heartless but anyone thinking that with the Russia / Ukraine ''war'' Zenith St Petersburgh players might not totally be focused and have more important things on their minds??
-
Pegula - Sakkari , any reason for Pegula to be underdog at 2.40 ?
They played exactly 1 month ago on the 23rd of january and Pegula won 7-6(7-0) 6-3.
-
in her last 3 matches Ostapenko has saved so many match points and come backs that the laws of average tell me she totally should not be here; of course winning those matches gave her huge confidence and she is a very good player but 3 times coming back from a set down against very good opponents which were favorites to beat her, and facing several match points, how long can one keep beating probability and odds like this? Any opinions on this?
-
congrats for the Hancorn pick, nice and smooth win, let's hope the same for Page !!

Very emotional from Zvonareva, but a horrible end to the match. Well done @888888!
thanks, third set was kind of a coin toss, could have gone either way

Kerber was awful , she only won because her opponent is a kid with little experience and no mental strength who converted just 1 out of 11 break balls; from what I saw they were both very bad.
In next round Kerber is playing Sasnovitch, Sasnovitch is dog @2.10 which after watching how bad Kerber was today seems crazy to me.
