The best time of the year for us tennis fans as we have our 1st big major approaching. The great thing about this one is we have no idea what form the players are in and should get great value on lesser known players. Looking at the draw, there is an amazing list of names/matches starting round 1. Do your best to avoid betting to much chalk and limit the number of matches in your parlays. You will be out of the game very early betting that way. Here are a few bets I like to make:
-#1 rule is to know your books rules on retired matches. They differ site to site. Don't bet into a freeroll situation against you. You see an injured player avoid the match. There is a good chance they will retire and your bet will not have action. If they think they still have a shot they continue to play. Lose lose situation for you.
-I prefer betting dogs in any sport. If you don't know anything about tennis but want action you can pretty much bet any male tennis play with +100 to +200 odds and be a winner but you will find that in most sports but especially in Men's tennis.
-If I bet chalk, I like to add it to other chalk. Bookmaker has terrible betting odds in tennis but are one of the only ones left that let you start a parlay and add up to two open spots including live bets. BAS allows up to 15(was 25 at 5D) open spots but not sure how much live action they offer on site so you would be adding just pre-match bets(5D had more live on site). These are 2 books you definitely want for tennis. BAS has the best 3rd party live sites. Juice is higher but you will not see more options anywhere else. I didn't really use BOL for much tennis but their odds were better than BM. You cannot parlay anything live at BOL so makes it tough to bet in game favorites.
-Really study you matches the week before any major. Just do not blindly bet players or heavy chalk. Many players on tour just use those matches as practice and don't want to wear themselves out prior to the big $$ tourneys.
gL on your bets this season!!
