Is it true ATP is the easiest way to make money?

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

If it is then I think I'm going to deposit of a big amount on to my book and ride some favorites. Fukk betting MLB baseball in the summer that crap is terrible

[newjerseydevils]

no...atp tennis is a grind...a lot of upsets all the time

[Cappinpicks]

have fun losing 50% of the huge favorites, this shit is a coin flip every time

[zafzaf]

No way you can profit in tennis with playing favs IMO

[noober]

short answer: no

[PetrGasparik]

it may be easiest way to make money as well as to lose them

[JNic]

it's also really hard to read motivation in all the small tournaments

[HeeeHAWWWW]

If you're seeing lots of "upsets", you're not looking at enough factors. Over last 6 years from pinnacle, atp favs won 11999/17385, with flat stakes a loss of 1.5%.

That's pretty much exactly pinnacle juice, so on average odds are spot on. Profit comes in the outliers.

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

Ok thanks guys. A buddy of mine has been betting tennis womens and mens and he was telling me ATP is his easiest way to make money. He knows his tennis inside and out and he doesn't bet huge favortives all the time. I'll probably just stay away from this sport completely.

[zsuzsa23]

Tennis can be more profitable with trading but then you should follow the games in-play.
For example it is a good strategy backing the favourite after he lost the first set

[zsuzsa23]

Trading can be a profitable option but in this case you have to follow the games in-play
One of the best known strategies is backing the favourite after he loses the first set

[MUHerd37]

You just have to be selective. You can't ride the huge favorites the whole tournament. You just have to be selective on who you play and when you are playing them. What surface they are playing on can also have a big effect.

stay away from wta!

[whitedogau]

unless you like making donations all the time, the wta is a joke

[HeeeHAWWWW]

It's like any other sport: generalisations don't work long term, because the market absorbs that knowledge into default prices.

[cornhuskfan]

momentum of players and heads up stats ecspecially return stats and second serve points won will give you
a lot of value on underdogs but stay away from betting heavy faves

[beefcake]

Totals man

[LT Profits]

I actually do think Tennis, both Men's and Women's, is easier to beat than most major sports, but I think your idea of betting favorites is totally wrong. Like any sport, key is always line value, which usually means dogs, and the best time to find quality tennis dogs is in the early rounds of tournaments.

[ji03]

I agree with LT. I think underdogs win most often in tennis than other sports.

[Fthenorm]

agree, definitely not easy and dogs are the way to go...tennisinsight.com offers substantial information at a glance

[Foggy]

but you have to pay for tennisinsight right? I use http://tennis.matchstat.com/BetRating/

[solepride]

play dogs like others say but make sure to find out the rules on grading bets as retirements as such so you don't get your hopes up high when the situtaion arises.

[PetrGasparik]

Yeah, the selection is the way
like, f.e., betting on aspiring +200 dog and in live betting, when he wins first set, bet on fav.
Because there is probability he lose.
Or betting on over/win 1 set.

Just make your system

[Sunde91]

You will get buried in a heartbeat betting huge favs in this sport, especially if you don't know it (happened to me).

Big favs lose at an ungodly rate.

[raydog]

i would say that after the wc, most would say soccer is easier to beat than tennis

[jjgold]

You really need to know the tour and do your homework and study player matchups

You can never make really good money though because tennis has the lowest limits out of any sport

u can put ton of money on live betting as the odds change after every single point so limits is not really an issue with tennis.

Where do you bet to win 1 set?

My advice to all kinds of betting: Never take below 1/3 odds - not worth the risk.

[jjgold]

If you bet tennis you need Euro books or you might as well not even bet it

American books your luck to bet $100 per match with no live betting

[noober]

yeah, euro books is the way to go for tennis.

[venhitman]

re

against the favourites on single betsbut select the matches

[ngates815]

will be alot tougher than you think....-600's it seems lose quite often....If that weren't the case everyone would be hammering the -600 - -1000 all the time, and just hoping to get 6-8 in a row, then if they lose it's all profit. Not that simple.

[Boner_18]

Heeehaww is spot on. Don't approach as faves vs. dogs. Just do you homework every day, know what line you are looking for and be selective. In short, it's the same amount of work mastering handicapping in any sport.
