    I know people will say dumb but this is free money.

    How much does your book allow you to bet on -10000 for tennis?

    you would probably have to do it across multiple books to play that much, but yes. That is really really dumb

    Nothing over -1000 is worth the risk IMO. Too many stupid things can happen. You can lose your money without him being outplayed, so it's not worth it.

    you better be doing it in a book that cancels bets for a retirement. If you have the money in your account, I think book have a maximum "to win" so you wont have trouble getting down 50k to win 500 or something like that.

    This is the closest to a lock that you can get, but it is not worth it at all.

    I would double-check the rules, and make sure your bet is no action if Nadal retires.

    So $100 to win $1 or $1000 to win $10. Definitely worth the risk eh?

    ^ Nadal is about to finish off Sweeting. He did get broken in the third, though.

    SBR odds sometimes flips the teams/players. It's a bug, I guess.

    Ok...I use it for bases and football but rarely track tennis so didn't know that. Was shocked when I saw those numbers.

    even if he is nadal, they all hit the ball through a racket and everything can happen in court.

    Some people are crazy. I'd never take a bet like this. Too many things can go wrong. Way too much risk. But hey if you win more power to you.
