You gotta be crazy to bet tennis basically anytime except seeded Grand Slam matches I reckon. Such a shady sport/business.

i'm glad they are gone early. this is why I didn't bet Safina or Venus for the last few tourneys. They have not been playing well at all. Venus is injured, taped leg or no taped leg and Safina just sucks right now.

If you bet favorites that big in any sport, you're going to get hurt.

heh, i just did a small round robin by 2's on li-cilic-safina-monfils

only risked 25 bucks to get back 36 if all 4 came through

safina ****ed it up for me

so i only won 3 outta 4 of the plays, 3 outta 6 of the parlays, and returned 20 bucks

for awhile it looked like li was going to lose too

glad i didn't fire on venus to make it a 5 play round robin by 2s, i woulda lost more that way

i wanted to go all in on safina, venus parlay but the odds were bad. lucky i didnt. i made some money with dina safina on the first match, it was -450, the line was -1000 something today for her. damn.. thanks for the line cause it scared me away

Agree with the OP.

Safina's game is in shambles right now. The long drop from #1 is a coming.

Always remember to play carefully with chalk over -350

**Ulver86** · 10-05-09, 11:44 AM

I almost never play any tennis match with odds > -300

only time you do that is when you have a clay court player going against a hard court player on their favorite surface

ie. always bet against guys like Marcos Daniel on hardcourt, who is 1-18 in ATP tournaments on hard courts in his career

**Ulver86** · 10-05-09, 11:49 AM

Rafa on Clay is also something i would feel confident laying those odds against any player when he's healthy
