What does that mean? I'm not a betting person.

In theory the bookies are saying 9 chances in 11 that Laura wins as against 2 chances in 11 her opponent wins. So Laura 4.5 times more likely to win.

In practice they overdo each player's individual chances, which helps make them their profit.

Their real estimation will be Laura having between 3 and 4 times the chance of her opponent, but that's still heavily favouring her.

It means if you bet £9 on Laura to win, and she does you would make £2 profit. In percentage terms, it means she is 82% likely to win.

I think Laura will win, but I'm not 82% confident she will.

Only problem is I don't seem tobe able to navigate to the other tournaments from here? Is there a main scoreboard page which either lists all the matches as the current ITF scoreboard does, or allows you to flip between tournaments?
Everything I click on on the itfsite just takes me to the old one.

I've deleted the tournament ID bit off the web address and that seems to work: http://itfprocircuit.tennis-live-scores.com/scoreboard.aspx?

I guess it's not properly released yet which is why it's impossible to navigate to the scoreboard at times

Thanks both. Well I agree I'm not 82% confident as it's Rollercoaster Robbo, but reasonably so.

Which the other certainly wasn't. So apparently new site doesn't require Flash player.
