    do most of you bet ON players, or bet AGAINST players

    for the most part? i'm definitely the latter...which is why i tend to bet dogs quite a bit. it's not so much confidence is the guy i'm betting, but knowing the form his/her opponent is in, or what their tendencies are if things tighten up. just curious what the consensus is here.

    I used to bet ON players only, but have learnt also that betting against players at the right time is highly profitable. Tsonga losing to Bogomolov was a recent one that paid off for me.

    I'm probably putting Monfils in the same category based on what I saw in his first match. Troicki would have been there too - but he's gone.

    Will only bet against if the opponent's play has been consistent.

    I feel more confident fading a player for a good reason than backing one because of good form.
