    Hi guys anyone following the tennis. I've S. Williams backed at 3/1 Ladbrokes and 4/6 win her quarter with BETFAIR.

    Federer should capture 6 in a row, crazy!

    tennis is a pretty easy way to make a few quid if ya look at it. if you lump on the favourites then you will rarely lose. even if u back the likes of nadal and federer to win the next set you will see your bet account increase a nice bit.

    I am thinking of laying Federer at about the semi-final stage provided Nadal is still around. I think Nadal will win it out.

    Tough call Keano, I was watching the betting on betfair last night for Murry v Santarro.

    Crazy stuff, lads were lumping on at 1/18 on only to see Santarro win few games in 2nd set and see Murray reduced to 1/8.

    Some serious difference in profit margins there.

    Lads laying odds is best invention ever, but you need to be a keen gambler and good at no.s or you're screwed.

    Laying Federer could be risky business. considering the liabilty, price you pay out at.

    Take your point on board but he is trading for the lay at 1.74.

    Sharapova and Roddick out. Looking that bit easier for Serena. She's up today v Mauresmo.

    That match should be part of the men's draw.

    Radwanska - Azarenka final for the win!

    Brilliant.

    Any chance of bringing back some form of the Crumbs System to make us some money at Wimbledon

    The System is dead my friend. Let it rest in peace. :)

    But Crumbs will be backing Wozniacki to upset Jankovic tomorrow at 3/1 and Azarenka to beat Petrova at 8/11.

    Lads very lucky last night, flew home after work to put on my bet on Gasquet but luckily my winninings for S Williams to wint her quarter had not come though as she has to bt the young Pole Agnieszka Radwanska.

    Even tried to deposit more money but again very fortunate to have a cap on the amounts I can deposit.

    Looks like Nadal is going to take the title. Federer is struggling.

    So much for being no matches held up due to rain on centre court!

    Fair play to Nadal :) Also to Federer after losing the first 2 sets!

    Did I do this bet? No. Of course I had no b@lls to back against Federer.
