    US Sportsbooks for Tennis
    Hi All,

    I was wondering which books open to the US everyone liked here for tennis. It seems like most of the good tennis books are closed to the US. As long as they have moneylines for most ATP/WTA events, that's good enough. Currently, I know about:

    5Dimes
    BetPhoenix
    BetOnline
    Bodog
    Bookmaker

    Any suggestions for books I'm missing? Mostly wanted to expand options for line shopping purposes.

    Thanks,
    StudentOfGab

    I think you're right
    Tennis is my # sport and just about all my action is with Betfair, Pinnacle with some top up at SBO, 188, Greek and a couple of Aussie books.
    Greek does have some good odds but limits to $300
    Bookmaker crap odds
    5D and Bodog, Mickey Mouse limits
    BP and BOL , never used, don't think odds up to scratch
    Matchbook next to zero liquidity even if you can find a good price

    In short if you're in the US tennis betting looks very bleak

      Ouch - at least Greek is an option I didn't know about. A limit of $300 is good enough for me most of the time. Thanks for the tip there.

      Intertops seems to be another US option, but the juice and odds there are horrible. There's almost never a bettable line there. Anyone have experience with Intertops?

      I don't think I'm as baller as you Hareeba. The default "Mickey Mouse" $500 tennis bet limits at 5Dimes and Bodog are usually good enough for me. What bet limits are there at Betfair and Pinnacles?

      Generally speaking, I find 5Dimes to be the best US tennis book because it has the lowest juice, in game betting, a wider variety of props and a wider variety of games. I find myself mostly betting there or Bodog these days.

        Intertops - I managed to wear out my welcome there very quickly when the limited me to betting peanuts

        5Dimes - good until they limit you ... I can bet $25 now
        Bodog - limits were never very good but now I'm down to peanuts
        Betfair is an exchange .. no limits other than available liquidity
        Pinnacle - limits open at $250 but depending on the level of tournament get out to $1K > $50K

          5dimes is probably the best you can do for tennis in the US.....

            Thanks for the heads up all. I'll look into The Greek, Intertops and maybe Matchbook. Having some option is better than no option.

              Matchbook aren't bad if you're patient - if you queue you'll eventually get odds matching betfair/pinnacle, and often beating. Of course, in slams or matches with top names it'll be quicker. Real shame there isn't more liquidity here, when there is it's the best place to bet tennis on the planet.

              The rest are not good at all.
