    Default Why do people bet on womens' tennis?

    Womens tennis is horrible, plain and simple, the most unpredictably sports EVER, noone can hold serve if their life depended on it, and no consistency whatsoever, turnarounds are the norm in every match and the best player can loose from a crippled goldfish on any given day. I personally have never gotten the hang of it, if you can consistently manage to make money out of the wta then you have my congratulations.

    IMO ATP is were the $$$$ is!

    That is why I like the WTA, it seems that big upsets are much more likely in the WTA, not saying there are none in the ATP, but they seem to occur more in women's tennis, thus making it a good opportunity to make money on the underdogs.

    well, if you can make money out of constantly predicting upsets then you are a smart man

    me personally, I like the ease of mind that only a heavy favorite can provide

    for me mens singles is very predictable, and I can parlay two three exellent pics to give me amazing odds

    also many times you can get lucky as the books dont always have the odds right and you get some great deals with a chance to make a lot of money

    Simple formula. Bet on Serena at hard court majors. She usually does well unless she loses her mind. Otherwise, if you take chalk favorites in tennis - men's or women's consistently, you will lose money I believe.

    Disagree Robb on Venus over Serena, Venus has flamed out earlier in majors much more than Serena if I recall.

    she's less chalky and when not hurt she usually does well. She can be a choke artist though and Serena, is solid.

    Most of the time people bet on sports hoping they can make some money(wta makes it very hard), and rarely I would agree, they do it soley for entertainment

    and sorry but women’s’ tennis is nowhere near as good as men’s tennis, in fact, if men’s tennis is rated as good then women's tennis should be rated as mediocre-bad on the same scale

    oh and thats just my opinion, I realise other people love the wta, I just dont see why :P

    Couldn't agree more with you. Female tennis is a snore. Like I said in another thread tonight they receive equal pay for lopsided contests that last less than an hour. Not sure how anyone could pay to watch that shit. Also the screaming and grunting does my head in. Let's face it, it is a dink fest. You don't see the men carrying on like that and they're hitting the ball twice as hard. I'm not sure how anyone could seriously place their hard earned cash on this so called sport. If they were all made to play in their birthday suits I might re-evaluate things.
