Tennis Spread Question:

[Fidel]

So say I took Jankovic +3 and she drops the first set 0-6, and then wins the next 2 sets 7-6 6-4, is that a push?

[Fidel]

and then wins

Not saying thats going to happen but for future reference

[shari91]

yes

[hawley]

so Shari a player could cover their spread and still lose SU?

[Fidel]

yes

Thanks Shari. Thats crazy to me!

Yeah it's happened to me a few times over the years. Somewhat rare but it does happen.

happened with Dolgo vs Tomic a few days ago

covered the +2.5 and won ONE MORE game than Tomic... and lost the match

I'd say it probably happens once every 2 tournaments or so. not all that uncommon

also, a good spread bet is when the legs are spread and the juicy vageen is in action. that's a good spread bet
