Why do people bet on womens' tennis?

**ji03** · 01-19-10, 09:58 AM

That is why I like the WTA, it seems that big upsets are much more likely in the WTA, not saying there are none in the ATP, but they seem to occur more in women's tennis, thus making it a good opportunity to make money on the underdogs.

well, if you can make money out of constantly predicting upsets then you are a smart man

me personally, I like the ease of mind that only a heavy favorite can provide

for me mens singles is very predictable, and I can parlay two three exellent pics to give me amazing odds

also many times you can get lucky as the books dont always have the odds right and you get some great deals with a chance to make a lot of money

just go for big upsets every time!

Simple formula. Bet on Serena at hard court majors. She usually does well unless she loses her mind. Otherwise, if you take chalk favorites in tennis - men's or women's consistently, you will lose money I believe.

good question!!! sluts. hahaha jk but geez. who remembers the french open last summer, where the last match of the day like 3 days in a row- some -500 chick would lose. gimme a f*ckin break.

**Robber** · 01-19-10, 02:24 PM

no matter how many upsets there are the smart bettor can make money

think about it

**tonyhomo** · 01-19-10, 03:18 PM

i like women tennis, odds arent as sharp as in mens tennis

**necro** · 01-19-10, 04:37 PM

Wozniak today against Woznaicki is nice 'value'(+410) and should go to 3 sets

**EaglesPhan36** · 01-19-10, 04:46 PM

Disagree Robb on Venus over Serena, Venus has flamed out earlier in majors much more than Serena if I recall.

**Glitch** · 01-19-10, 04:54 PM

she's less chalky and when not hurt she usually does well. She can be a choke artist though and Serena, is solid.

Clijsters/Williams last year was better.

Same reason why people bet on any other sport...for the entertainment of it and women's tennis happens to be just as good as men's so there

**Fthenorm** · 01-21-10, 02:23 AM

venus is washed up...as the commentators mentioned, it has been 9 years since her last major win other than Wimbledon

**rfr3sh** · 01-21-10, 02:36 AM

zheng v bartoli- 11 games completed....7 have been breaks of serve. bartoli up 6-5 hahahaa womens tennis is ridiculous.

yeah yisman but thats one thing if its cuz they're both good. i think mosta the time its because they're both bad when stuff like that happens

**raydog** · 01-22-10, 02:35 AM

its called "being a gambling degen" ... i can relate

**Glitch** · 01-22-10, 05:01 AM

the odds-on favorite for the 2010 australian open futures +300 - kim clijsters gets beaten 6-0 6-1 in the third round to a player thats not even in the top 10.

Most of the time people bet on sports hoping they can make some money(wta makes it very hard), and rarely I would agree, they do it soley for entertainment

and sorry but women’s’ tennis is nowhere near as good as men’s tennis, in fact, if men’s tennis is rated as good then women's tennis should be rated as mediocre-bad on the same scale

oh and thats just my opinion, I realise other people love the wta, I just dont see why :P

Womens tennis is horrible, plain and simple, the most unpredictably sports EVER, noone can hold serve if their life depended on it, and no consistency whatsoever, turnarounds are the norm in every match and the best player can loose from a crippled goldfish on any given day. I personally have never gotten the hang of it, if you can consistently manage to make money out of the wta then you have my congratulations.

IMO ATP is were the $$$$ is!

Couldn't agree more with you. Female tennis is a snore. Like I said in another thread tonight they receive equal pay for lopsided contests that last less than an hour. Not sure how anyone could pay to watch that shit. Also the screaming and grunting does my head in. Let's face it, it is a dink fest. You don't see the men carrying on like that and they're hitting the ball twice as hard. I'm not sure how anyone could seriously place their hard earned cash on this so called sport. If they were all made to play in their birthday suits I might re-evaluate things.

**Glitch** · 01-22-10, 07:46 AM

my hightech mathematic system that ive been developing since the french open of last year is betting against the favorite in the very last womens match of the day during the majors

today it is kerber +835 v kuznetsova

**Glitch** · 01-22-10, 09:52 AM

damn that was close hahaha

**beefcake** · 01-22-10, 11:15 AM

good try glitch.i took a flyer on kerber as well. It was worth a shot..
