Anyone interested in tennis betting ? Plenty of value to be had in the earlier rounds but it looks like its Nadal's to lose this year

Verance

Just looking through the betting and I think it's worth noting that Laddies and Skybet are the only ones going 1/2 the odds for outright each way, all the rest going 1/3...
Agree that's Nadal's to lose but maybe he's a little short atm.

x PyRo

My picks for the French Open:

Men's Singles - Serena Williams

Women's Singles - Rafael Nadal

:pac:

digme

I've a few quid on Soderling and Wozniacki.

Kod-box

Has Nadal dropped a set yet...was 9/1 to not drop a set the whole tournament with PP pre-tournament, i missed it and they'd only offer me 12/5 then on the phone, which is a joke.

digme

That price is terrible isn't it,considering he hardly dropped a set all season.
Nadal dropping a set is akin to our beloved mary harney going on a diet.

Ladies French Open A Dulgheru v C Wozniacki
28-05-2010 14:00
Match Betting
A Dulgheru @ 2.75

digme

Not sure if anyone's noticed this but, it seems a lot of players are losing the third set when they are up 2-0, a handy bet for me so far is over 3.5 sets.

Pyro what are your thoughts on Verdasco?He's my favourite player
And he's on fire at the moment.

x PyRo

Not totally clued up on the tennis nowadays, I only back and watch Wimbledon. I like Verdasco and always liked watching his games but I wouldn't be able to tell you much more, He's exciting to watch anyways. Nadal is only 2/5 best price to win this. :eek: Half tempted to lay him.

digme

I'm only a new comer myself,but I've been watching it solid for 2 or 3 years.Ya he's brilliant isn't he,he was injured there for awhile but he still fights as if his life depended on it and wins,very tough player.Hard for anyone to beat nadal lately though,might be a good bet to lay him for the craic

Onecoolcookie

Roddick match just started, could be worth laying him as he's terrible on clay and had hardly any preparation for this years tournament

digme

I see roddick has lost the first set.I really like him,hope he can turn it around,good luck with your bet though.Been watching the williams match myself,she's struggling in the second set really bad,she is 'feeling dizzy, she said.

I was left cursing my luck today, I had my whole bank on Youzhny to beat Tsonga because first of all Tsonga is rubbish on clay and I'd hear a few whispers about him being injured so I lumped on. I had Youzhny at evens and stood to get back a 4 figure sum. All was going well in the first set Youzhny 5-2 up but then Tsonga calls down his doctors plays one more game and then retires

If you suspect that a player is carrying an injury you should always bet with Betfair or a bookie who pays out once a set has been completed.

Youzhny was 1.97 on Betfair and all backers were paid out as there was a set completed.

A Soderling/Stosur double is paying 14/1 on Betfair.

Tempting...

EDIT: Down to 9s now so good thing I got on it at 14s!

Rafa just won the first set on a tie break, should sail home from here.

Different bookies, different rules.

Some pay out once the first set has been complete.

You don't get paid with pp, so I think your telling yarns

Is yours with PP Digme? Hopefully they won't void it now
