    Default Why are there not more people on the tennis forum?

    I mean wtf tennis is the easiest sport to handicap EVER

    i make tons of money from tennis, i love it and at the end of the season or during the hopmans cup break i get depressed

    why are people still trying to make their money on coinflips like bball totals and cursing at every made/missed shot?

    It's easy to handicap, but it's not a popular sport.

    People are more into betting sports they like than sports that can make them money.

    Why do you think every tout/service released a play on the Super Bowl? Or why the biggest plays released are on the big time games, as opposed to lesser events that get ignored but have easier to beat lines?

    Tennis is the easiest to cap??? WTF?? I completely disagree with your statement. Tennis is not a team sport, therefore you cannot rely on your team mates to pull through. It's an individual sport, so on any given day, you may have a flu, fought with wife, have the runs, have the shits etc etc and you come game day your not mentally there and not playing tennis.

    It's the hardest sport to cap, simply because it's an individual sport. The most upsets are in tennis.

    I disagree

    people find it hard to cap tennis in my opinion because they try to cap every single game

    but as soon as you see a pair you know if there is potential to that matchup, and you also know if its something to stay away from

    I stay away from the ones i know are not to be touched, I get early on the ones i am very confident on and for the ones i like but not enough to bet beforehand i wait for the livebet, see how they start off and decide then and there

    as for the variable factors you brought up, in my opinion, team sports have too many variables for a human brain to process into making the right pick, unlike tennis which you only need to look at things like recent form, ranking, age, resting time, idle time and location


    in my experience with sports, when one player is out of his waters, the whole team goes down with him, that's why its called a team, although on some occasions teammates come through for each other the general rule is if a team works as a team, then it is better than the sum of its players talent, if one piece of that machine is lagging then you will loose your money

    Lots of people just too scared to bet tennis because they don't know a lot about it. I got a few people from the bball forum to bet during the Australian Open and made them some money. The majors are insanely fun to bet and if they don't want to bet tennis I say oh well. I have found tennis to be the most profitable sport to make money on.

    I am ok i would say

    but the thing is king, i dont like playing with other peoples money, if I can give someone a good tip and help him make some money I will be overjoyed

    but I'd rather not take the risk of giving advise to someone that might end up loosing him money that may be important to him, I really wouldnt want that responsibility
