Does anyone actually bet outrageous favored lines in tennis?
So I'm looking at the odds for upcoming tennis matches and they have Serena -10000, Sharapova -10000 and Rodger Federer at -15000!
I am assuming all of their opponents are scrubs, but do people actually lay this amount just to win $100!?
and how often do upsets happen when the lines are this high?
upsets happen all the time all 3 went out last year wimbledon lmao
there is/was a poster in the tennis subforum who almost exclusively parlayed big favs together, I forget whoOriginally Posted by BigBusiness
he had a very bad year last year and disappeared
He wasn't parlaying -10000 favs. Those don't lose. He was parlaying -500 and stuff like that
multiple -5000 to -10000 have lost
funny you post this on day 1 of wimbledon, how soon we forget what's happened in the not-so-distant past:
http://espn.go.com/tennis/wimbledon1...derer-advances
plenty of other examples
I do but the only reason is that my local bookie offers me better odds on a certain match if I have 5 matches on the ticket. For example: Karlovic might be 1.40 tomorrow instead of 1.35 so I usually add one more reasonable favorite at around 1.20 and then Djokovic, Federer, Murray, etc.
No
Some of them lose and kill your parlays . I think you will win some in early rounds but eventually big favs get you.
If u have the money, it's worth betting in the first rounds. If ur a brokedik, then don't do it
I always though it was just an option to give but the focus was on the other side and betting the upset.
I don't think a -10,000 favorite has every lost at Wimbledon on the men's side. Correct me if I'm wrong. There's just no way I can see a -10 grand fav losing.
just like you couldn't see the heat losing every game in the finals
Lots of us do outrageous parlays at the start of every grand slam. It's an SBR tradition.
most people on this board wouldnt bet a -10000 line because we dont have the principal to make a meaningful win from that. but there are people who can. you have to keep in mind that vegas will take 6 or 7 figure bets, so the lines have to be able to accommodate those kinds of wagers while offering the same line to all public bettors.

Roger Federer lost as a -10000 to stakhovsky last year
If they are +EV bet them yes if not no...
hes jumping at the chance to lose 10,000 to win a measly bill...
Federer was -10 grand to Staakhovsky? For sure? Cause Stakhovsky is a decent player, I would think Fedex like -3 grand at most at wimbledon in a match like that.
Books love big chalk players
all the clerks laugh when the bets come in
Darcis killed nadal in straights get a clue
Problem for for the books is if u have the money to back it up, the player can't lose. Come with me to Vegas jj and I'll prove it to u
At decent books (ie pinnacle), it's actually the reverse: most of the juice is loaded on the underdog. That's even more true at slams than the rest of the year.
At Wimbledon you'd actually have made a decent profit if you bet everything shorter than 1.50 (-200), about 4% iirc. A few high profile underdog wins doesn't change that.
You live there Mac??
I will be there in mid July
If they didn't, the books wouldn't bother offering them. Problem is you need to have a massive bankroll to make any $ from it and of course to be able to sustain the loss when one falls. For the average bettor though, those -10000 lines are useless but serve as useful parlay killers for books occasionally so it makes it all worth it for them.
Me certainly not not because i am a beginner in all this but just because i can't afford that money
Shari buried me in tennis 2 years ago with chalk parlays
Most people do not have unlimited bankrolls
Yes I'm sure, cuz I had $50 on stav that day. It was right after sharapova lost as a -10000 fav. Me, Shari, and few others were rooting it in lol

Full of shit.
The day I stick a -10000 in a parlay of mine or even something anywhere close to that is the day I can take the hit and not feel the pain if it loses. Unless I win lotto it ain't happening.
Pinny lines
Live in dallas, but go to Vegas 4-5 times a year
Not here , just the opposite
That must suck to lose one of those
I last bet tennis 6 years ago.
-1700 lost and I never bet tennis again.
