think the line will move against me on these three so making these early. the other ones are huge dogs, i like most of them, but going to wait till the games lines come out.

Isner -175 (Dodig): 3.40/2.00 win
dodig screwed hard by refs at crucial point. isner can't keep ball on court to save his life. it's all unforced errors and aces.
-45.26 + 2.00 = -43.26 units

Not at those odds there's not lol, IMO.
Might be value @ +130, but I'm looking for Haas odds to rise if I'm to make a bet.

Oh absolutely, though I'm personally convinced value @ +105 is non existant or negative.

I might give him a go if odds reach +130. Currently at +120. Haas isn't precisely stability personified either...

Nothing special. Dolg is a guy I have followed pretty closely and been right on more than wrong over three years. As I posted a while back, he was tired in Memphis. Then he recovered his rest. Then he lost in three setter in opening round. So he should be well primed for this tournament. Last match destroyed Davydenko, who has been playing well. I don't know for a fact he will win here, but I guarantee this will be at the least a very close match. I think he will win. Haas has done well lately, but I think Dolg is fresher and beats him here. At odds on it's worth a shot.

Value = opinion. There's no objective measure of it. It sounds cooler and more scientific, but it's simply circular unless you have some independent criterion to measure it. I estimate Dolg has a 60% chance of winning this match. But that's simply my opinion put in pseudo-scientific form.

See, I think that match will be a real struggle. I don't know if Tips will win, but he will play well today, I predict.

I agree, and nothing I said contradicts this.
The only obtainable, objective measurement of value, is long term results, and even then it only tells you the average value of all your bets. Knowing the factual value of a specific bet at any time is literally impossible.
That said, I'm still personally convinced Dolgo @ +105 is an average bet at best.
I've decided to go with +130 though, when it gets to that, if ever. Getting close...

It's a bad bet if your guide is recent performance by both players. This bet must be based on something that can't be seen by a computer, and that is that Dolg is fresher psychologically and physically and primed for a great performance.

No I'm only saying I think it's a bad bet. When I say that what I mean is exclusively this: I personally am of the opinion that it is devoid of any value. Possibly, in fact, it is a bet of negative value.
I'm saying what I think, not that I'm right. What I think could easily be wrong, and I'm well aware of it. I hope you understand that.
Hoping for a Dol'Po win regardless, and even more so for your bet's sake. Hopefully the revolution will be televised! : )

Sure. I've been wrong a lot lately, and might well be wrong here.

Haas takes it 63. Great value now if you still like Dolg, 5.50.

Well, a truly terrible performance by Dolg, and a worse one by me. Haas plays professional tennis. Dolg goes for great shots. Even in a wild wind, he tries to hit lines, and plays the lowest percentage shots he can come up with. Dolg seems to have regressed, why I don't know. He looked like Isner out there; couldn't keep the ball on the court. Going for lines in a big wind? wtf?
I want to explain myself at this point. I started posting here after winning 19 out of 21 days. Judging by my posting record so far, that statement can only elicit a laugh, but it's true. Anyway, if this terrible performance continues and I get down 100 units, I will stop posting. I won't go on any crazy size garbage to get back what I'm down, 20 units is my max.
