    Agree with you. The top 3 can beat each other, no clear cut. And when it comes to majors esp OLY, besides LCW, CL, LD, even CJ is very tough as he proved that in past AE, WC and OLY. Mental game and staying focus, etc are just as important as physical fitness.
    Still to face 2 world best players, while your opponents are faithfully playing collectively and collaboratively under a 'system' becomes a mind game, at least I would think, maybe LCW thinks differently. A player has to be very strong mentally to deal with this. LCW is in the past is weak in this area, now may not apply...hopefully.

    If those dudes are in Canada and we can park our bets with a trustworthy person (of course 10% commission or an ice coffee as his reward), I would love to bet in this...10 to 1, I take 2 to 1...honestly, I like this bet. With so many SS left to go, with HKO, then CO, I really believe CJ will make it.
    What I am afraid is 2Bears (hahaha) is in Sweden (hope he really is, hahaha!) and Chris is in Aussie, those fellas will email or fax me the $$$, that is what I think or afraid will happen.

    not just the players but on the coaching side as well.

    for example T Baun of Denmark, we know she has such a poor record against Wang Xin with 8 or 9 defeats and not a single win. And not as bad as, say Wang Yihan.

    Well, Li Yongbo will let her and her coach know that when times come he 'probably' put WX instead of WYH to play against her. how would she perpare probably?

    He doesn't has to do it, put plant that into her mind will be enough.

    the bottom line is if you want to be the best, make sure you're at 100% or damn close to it for the 5 days in a tournament. And expect your opponents will be at their very best as well. if the other guys come in below par it's a bonus but don't use the excuse that he is at 100% thus has the advantage over you, for whatever reasons.

    10% is my calculated possibility, that's NOT the odd I'm gonna sell. Where's my profit margin? ;)

    I am not afraid to bet at all, but not on my calculated rate which will rip me off. Put it simple, $100, if CJ advances to OJ, I will pay you (or the other party) $100 using paypal. If CJ fails, you pay me $100 using paypal. That's very simple. No trustworthy person needed, who is more trustworthy than another in this forum? If you or I don't pay, then will be cursed and blamed by everyone on this forum. That's enough.

    you missed my words again: profit margin!

    why i bother to bet?

    Chen Jin still holds his 10% chance even though he beat P Gade as I predicted. But I won't risk my money. I bet for earning money, not just making it even.

    You guys claimed Chen Jin will be qualified, sounds like 100%. Why not you walk your talk? and give out money freely if CJ fails?

    Looks like CJ's odds went up a little with today's QF win over PG in HK

    CJ is doomed because of the draw and seeding. CJ can only advance to Olympic provided he's in the same semis of all the rest tournnaments. That's impossible. CJ is a better player than PG. But As the 5th seed, CJ has problems to beat LCW, CL and LD to advance to the semi while PG doesn't need to play LCW, CL, LD, none of them to collect his magic points.

    Next week China open is much more important for collecting points. PG has an easy draw in the next China open, he will easily collect at least 7700 points, which will almost easily kill CJ. while CJ has to fight wtih LD for the semi; both of them need points. If PG reaches final in the China open as you did before, then CJ's chance will close to zero.

    Thanks Alan's olympic ranking. But it doesn't tell much.

    Both CJ and WSX are the 3rd ranked Chinese singles in mens and womens respectively. CJ is listed 5th, while WSX only 6th. Looks like CJ in better position than WSX. Reality check: WSX has no problem to be qualified while CJ is in big trouble.

    The 1st reason behind the ranking is the strength of the points. CJ's points are weaker than WSX. In another words, weak means replaciable. The other reason is the draw. As the 1st ranked currently, WSX has the advantage while CJ, the unfortunate the 5th seed, has to beat LCW, LD, CL to collect valuable points.

    Taufik vowed to block Chen Jin

    Taufik just said, he has an agreement with LCW and Pete Gade together, to block 3 Chinese in Olympics. Taufik said Chinese always fixing games, it's unfair for other countries. Therefore, when Taufik, LCW, PG met as honorable guests at the LYB badminton school in China, they vowed together to work together to block China's chance. I guess they are going to fix the games too to fight back.

    In fact, it's difficult to fix the game, because all LD, CL, CJ need points. It's a zero sumed.

    while Taufik, PG and LCW have no worries. Especially PG and LCW, they are qualified already for the OG.

    Nobody else except you have claiming any odds or probability numbers..

    But you are not willing to accept a bet even with a huge doubling up on your "odds" for your "profit"-margin, instead you are only willing to accept bets with a 2:1 instead of a 10:1 odds... I think that says alot of your lack of confidence in your own calculations :)

    Any probability has its own credible interval. So does mine. I am confident about my calculation, but my calculation confidence has its own confidence interval.

    The 10% chance itself has credible interval. It's a stochastic process. it's not like 1+1=2. I cannot guaranttee that. My prediction number was chosen at the 50% credible interval. Which means, CJ has the chance of 10% which itself 50% credible interval. If increase the OG chance to 20%., then the credible interval will be dropped to a lower number.

    If the interval is just 50%, then there is no need to gamble. Although it's the most probable thing to happen, but at 50%, I could either win or lose.

    Based on that, I only bet with confidence. If any one claims CJ's chance is greater than 50%, or lower than 2%, then I'm willing to gamble. If you want to bet CJ's chance between 2%-50%, then I don't bother. I only bet with confidence :) I never gamble without confidence. :) :) :)
