 I don't mind others putting the odds, I often check the odds for all sorts of things, other sport and politics for example,  as bookies are rarely wrong! Equally I thought I would share my opinion that I thought this match looked like the 50:50 that someone mentioned rather than the 1:9 from the bookies. Although Emily finally won the match the closeness of it, and particularly saving 4 mp, surely makes 50:50 seem about right. There is a certain amount of fortune involved in saving multiple mp after all, could be a net cord for instance. Apologies to anyone who put their 50p (or more) on the LL!

Just to be clear, I was joking with the justified 1/9 part and absolutely, the way it played out, you'd think it would be more of a 4/5 vs 10/11 or 4/6 vs 11/10 type of match, so your insight was certainly closer than the bookies, and Andre was in such a commanding position towards the end, that there was a chance you could guarantee profit if you wanted to.

I was just thinking more generally, e.g. my mother isn't into tennis, but she doesn't really like gambling, and I was just thinking others might be the same and it might spoil their experience in some way, which I wouldn't want.

I think the way you do it is ok Ace. I'm not into gambling for various reasons, and often just skip these more detailed posts of yours. I do find them find them interesting at times in terms of who is seen as the favourite in a match and by how much, and that's fine. Like everyone else I can choose what I want to read and what I'm less interested in, and there is nothing off putting about how you post them
