          Mentioned multiple times that finals are always closer then what the matchup would usually produce in early round and that was the case in almost every final yesterday.

          As for questioning someones form in a final, winning or losing does not always indicate how well someone is playing. For someone to be out of form just means they are playing below what their usual standards are. The opponents Rosol has played in the last two tournament are well outside of Rosol's league yet he has struggled to win some of them. Another case was Novak in the French Open, you could say he was out of form as he was playing well below his usual standards despite the fact he made the finals.

            I watched the match Rosol played much better than Vesely and Vesely was tired by the second set while Rosol was bouncing around smiling to the cheering crowd. Its natural that a final would be closer than if faced in earlier rounds since by the time youre in the final youre in better form.

              From my post, I said making the finals doesn't necessarily equal in good form and every match prior to the one against Vesely he was very average. Even in this match he was average but like you pretty much just said, Vesely was tired and lost it rather than Rosol winning it.

              Also the bolded part of your post, if we go by what you said then both players would be in form and cancel each other out making it exactly the same result as it would be in the early rounds so that bit contradicts itself.

                      1) Zheng is Chinese.
                      2) She's a former Wimbledon Semi Finalist. About as far away as you can get from a "no name" on grass. She also took Serena to a third set, 9-7, in 2012. serena dominated that tournament in all but that match against Zheng.

                      Could you be more wrong?

                        puig suppose to be solid, but I guess it was a line like jung -175 to a way better player atleast ranking wise like all the upsets

                            best value on the board right now is caGarcia @2.625 over Stephens at lad (anything over 2.4 is still solid)

                            better than a coinflip IMO...Garcia always shows up, and already has bigger scalps than this one who shows up when she feels like it

                                  i'm starting to record now from
                                  investment = I= 10,000
                                  u= $100 (fixed at 1% of I)
                                  bank = B = I +N..........where N = net return
                                  and each play is as called by CP...otherwise will be assumed to be to WIN (not risk) a unit
                                  (no sense risking a full unit on a flier that the book "got it wrong"...just buy your "ticket to win your usual fixed-$-prize" at the discounted price the book is stupid/conniving enough to offer)



                                  currently, after 0 days of action: W-L, N__B==>> 0-0, +$0.00__$10,000.00

                                  From now on,"if there ain't a price... (hopefully the one you actually got it for--a lot of people always mention the book they placed it at, too...to defuse any future "reality checks") then it t ain't a play".

                                                  results come in wave, CP...just like Red & Black on a casino roulette wheel...even with an edge,

                                                  let's say we get the 0 on our side...giving us a 51.35% (19 out of the 37 slots are ours) true prob and the same +100 ticket on each spin (implied prob 50%)...we got a long term edge of 2.7% if we're sharp to keep making the small-pop plays on "Black + 0" and don't get fooled by the public who keep backing the more popular "Red"

                                                  if betsizes as a % of total bank are small enough (no higher than 2%...i prefer constantly-adjusted 1% of bank for longer-term disaster insurance)...over time you will grind out a profit with such an edge...

                                                  BUT bad (Loss-Rich) runs are inevitable and they pull down the Bank...as are the good Win-rich runs that push it up...

                                                  over time it's a constant tug of war...the size of your Bank "keeps score" of it...

                                                  if you really are sharp in finding value...it's just like finding a casino that pays on your Black bet when zero comes up...it's long-term money...but it's a bumpy ride
                                                  ___________
                                                  we're getting hammered today kid (Garcia makes us 0-3, with Becker in-play)...but that's just like Red getting hot for a while...stay sharp (in our roulette example...keep putting the sensibly-sized +ev bets on the "B+0" play)...

                                                  ______________

                                                  Suggestion: look more for the "huh...why is _____ such a big dog here"...and if there really isn't a justification for it...take a whack at the probably over-hated (=bigger payout!) dog

                                                  better IMO than thinking that the books know who's going to win and trying to dissuade you from buying the winning ticket by putting even more chalk on it...and being stubborn by either buying it anyway, or JUST AS BAD...using it to fill a parlay along with other plays that you also know are over-priced "just cuz you think it'll win"...but playing a big favorite that your analysis says should be even bigger (either su or in a parlay with others like this) that's a different story...

                                                  as a practical matter, IMO...it's much easier to find the overly-hated dog...than the under-loved favorite

                                                  my approach is to look for the surprisingly-underestimated pooches (who, as you note are often ranked higher and even own the H2H)

                                                      if it looks easy it probably is a walk in the park for free money no more trying to be sharp
