    Tennis 101

    I am in the elite 8 in the SBR tourney and my next opponent is fingas and he is some kind of super tennis capper. I don't know dick about tennis.. I was hoping someone can give me some basic info on tennis.

    Well bro, tennis can be tricky, do you have to pick tennis? If so, what I would advise doing is just looking for small dogs with a H2H history that is at least competitive to their opponent, and make sure it's on the same surface. (hard, grass, clay etc)

    Don't bet big dogs blind in tennis, and don't assume a -200 type favorite is going to be overly safe because those in tennis are probably like -135 in baseball, just my opinion.

    Also how do the over/unders work like I don't get this game at all.

    Like this pick

    Federer-Nadal
    UNDER 39 -131

    Under 39???

    Also what site do you use to check to see who won like tennis.com?

    It means under 39 games played, for instance a 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 victory would equal 27 games played.

    You can look at cbs.sportsline.com scoreboard and click tennis for all results. That is just one of many but a good one to start with, others are usually more tournament specific but that one will take care of your needs.
