Don't let those anomalies convince you that betting steam is a good in tennis
Good to know, thanks. I've noticed just briefly from about a year or so that the steam within a few hours of the match does tip a bit. That is completely unscientific, but I have taken a little note from it. I'm not one to follow the movement in US sports but it seems Tennis tips when the action is right before first serve.

It's very difficult with tennis because there are only a few major sites for disseminating info, good or bad. I showed someone on SBR last year who was doubting me that in the US Open I *think* it was (one of the Slams anyway) that something like 73% of people who closed lower than the Pinny openers, lost. If you search it on here you'll find it...after I closed my big thread so it'll be in a random one after that. The other big problem with tennis betting other than Slams is that a decent sized bet at one book will send odds plummeting elsewhere because of limits and odds. I gave my tip about live betting in here but honestly if someone listens to only one thing I say, please ignore line movement in tennis. I've documented it on here when I've got sucked in many times but I finally got so pissed off I compiled stats.
