Hello Chucky,

OK, so my tennis thread has been the subject of it's fair share of ridicule, however it suggests a complete no nothing dolt that only bets extreme prices should be able to take a huge chunk out of the 7.5% juice that is common in tennis. Coupling it with even the slightest part of positive handicapping and obviously the result would be a positive roi.

So I figure when I get to 1000 matches if it's stillin the ballpark of zero, I'd include IMHO the surface adjustment and the head to head as regular adjustments. In special circumstances I'd include travel, motivation (particularly guys coming off tourney wins flying half way around the world for an early tuesday match[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] and injury (to which reliable dope is tough to get.)

Good luck,

TA
