books afraid of tennis bets?

[GoIrish682]

without giving the store away, can anyone help me out specifically (in a PM) as to what exactly has books scared of getting hurt with tennis (other than any other sport)?

quote from Jon at BetIslands:
I will answer this the most honest way possible , tennis is a sport that a sportsbook can get hurt booking it our low limits for this sport are there for risk management once we get to know the player I will look at their accounts if they request higher limits and get back to them.


Thanks-- after i understand i can edit post into the benign

Been numerous cases of fixes in recent years.

Well also, not everybody bets on obscure tennis matches. So they may have a one sided game.

Where like 7 people take the same guy and only 1 dude take the other guy.

And it is a risk for the Book to have action like that.

The same reason as for any other bets and sports: Because they may lose money with it

if you bet on big favorites like federer or nadal they will love your money

It all depends on the style of betting.

If you're a steam chaser / line shopper you'll be severely limited after a hot month.

If you bet favorites in parlays on TV games they will always be willing to take your action.
