Why is Federer @2.50 can someone explain?

tough lines, looks trappy to me. guess it worked on bouchard yesterday so bookies having another go.

federer has been playing well although had a breeze schedule, novak had some struggled but showed how he can get out of it.

bookies probs suggesting 3-1 win for novak, but if novak been playin like he has could go to the 5th and anyones game.

How in the holy mother of f*ck was Bouchard trappy??? The only attractive odds in that match were for Kvitova and it most certainly was no trap.

Why? If the books honestly thought Federer was going to win they wouldn't have opened around 2.50 odds. It would have been closer to 2.00 to get big money on Djoker. Djoker won destroy Fed but it should be done in 4 sets or less.

Fed beat Djoker this year? Lol yup he also blew a 1 set least and lost to djoker. Both matches djoker was out of form. I can't even believe your comparing djoker from the beginning of the year to now.... You know he's gonna be pissed that he hasn't won a slam title in awhile now. Plus if djoker wins this he becomes #1... This is probably my most confident pick this year.

You have been around long enough to be well aware that odds in tennis mean nothing. Dogs win more often in tennis then any other sports and it's all about finding value when betting tennis.

The line is set like that cause Novak is the better player. I have already pointed that out before but if the better player won every time, everyone would be rich and bookies would be gone. In tennis, you have to analyse the situation such as form, motivation, matchup, surface, and a bunch of other variables other than just who is better.

There is nothing wrong with the way the line is set but if you want to go with Novak at that price, you might win today but you will lose in the long run. Not many ppl understand value here and only a few ppl do and those are the ones that are actually surviving in the longrun. Wont post names but it is pretty darn obvious who those guys r if u look thru the threads, and no im not one of them bt im slowly understanding that now.

Also in terms of comparing Federer with Dimi, Karlovic has a closer game to Federer then anyone in my opinion as ridiculous as it sounds. Both players are great at the serve and volley and use it as their main weapon when serving, whereas Dimi never does any. Both have one handed backhands and use the slice majority of the time (Karlovic's backhand slice is very underated). However, only difference is that Karlovic doesnt move well otherwise he would be a threat consistently.

Dimi is more similar to Wawrinka where they both just try and smash the crap out of the ball with their backhands but neither use the serve and volley. Also they both have serves at pretty much identical speeds and to be honest, there are no two players more alike then these two right here.

Yeah but Dimi moves way better on grass while Wawa more powerful strokes.
