if I bet on someone it is a little like giving them the kiss of death.

Good to know KP :roflmao:

I'm surprised bookies aren't broke based on how they render their odds using primarily statistical data. I access that data through another site, showing how a player stacks up based on bookie odds for win / loss. Novak could have an ankle injury coming into a tournament, yet they don't factor that in. I seen that happen with Williams in the Aus Open. She came into the tournament with her ankle in a plaster cast. She lasted the opening rounds and her ankle crumpled as the intensity picked up. Bookies had crap odds on her opponent, who won due to Williams just not being able to keep up because her ankle was killing her. She played it out... but she couldn't play to the required level.

One thing I've learnt, is don't trust bookies odds on Tennis.

yeah I like the tennis site I found. It has some stats, shows past match histories, makes comments on injuries etc. It's worked out not too bad for me so far. I can't see the play but the commentaries sort of put in perspective who's playing up to their game and who's flubbin' it.

Mind you, if they don't tell you who's got injuries etc, some inexperience better (like me) would come along, look at the stats and then bet for the favorite, bookies full well knowing it's probably a loser. They'd make some good money off of that. Lesson learned quick - Do your own homework first.

Thank you, that is so sweet.

Geez, between you and Anthony, nag, nag, nag :p

I am improving, I even made some £20,000 bets :cautious: Maybe this is some type of weird therapy. I've had to be careful with money all of my life, so I'm scared to risk it all. Plus and this may be a little heavy, but, I have early childhood memories of waiting outside the bookies, whilst my Dad was bettng. I'm scared of ending up with nothing.

Winning 500,000 on a draw in the rugby league has helped enormously :)

I just saw this, bless you. I wasn't looking for handouts.

I've done okay with the tennis today, I should have bet more and will do in the next rounds and in next months tournaments.
