Tennis Picks

Tennis is one of those sports that gamblers can make, or lose, a lot of money in very quickly. As a sports fan if you see Roger Federer playing some unranked no name you may think Federer is easy money, but if you are new to wagering on tennis then you may be very surprised to learn how much money you would have to lay out to win on Federer. At theoffshoreedge.com we are one of the few sites that have in house tennis handicappers that can explain it to you. Take a look at our tennis picks section daily to see what plays our handicappers think are smart money for the day.

A typical line on the Federer match described above would be -650 for Federer. This means you have to bet six-hundred and fifty dollars to win one hundred on Roger Federer. This may still be a smart play, but if the no name pulls off the upset it can be a bit of a setback. When dealing with this kind of money it is a wise choice to take a look at our tennis picks before laying out $650. Using the same example maybe the no name has been playing well and Federer has a twisted ankle going into the match. In this case our tennis picks may advise you to lay out $100 on the no name for a six hundred dollar payday. You see what we mean when we say large sums of money can be won or lost in tennis.

Another typical tennis wager you might see is the over under on the number of sets the match will be won in. The line is typically 1 ½ sets. This means if the favorite wins four sets to one or three sets to zero they win. Any other result means the underdog covers and they win. Our tennis picks section will offer good insights into how many sets they believe a match will go.

Tennis is also a sport which offers many different types of prop bets. These are often discussed in our tennis forum which is an interactive forum that allows fans to debate the pros and cons of clay, or whether Serena is better than Martina, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. This is a great place for bettors to discuss the tennis picks they are planning on playing before laying down their money.

Many sites that offer tennis picks are sportsbooks that are looking for you to place a wager with them. As our loyal readers know theoffshoreedge.com reviews these sites for you, but is not a sportsbook. This means that you can be sure our tennis picks are designed to help you win money and not to entice you to make a weak play on our web site.

Tennis is one of the most difficult sports for new gamblers to place a wager on. The sheer variety of bets coupled with the potential of losing money quickly make it tough. Our tennis picks are there to help guide you through the best matches; whether you are new to gambling or just new to wagering on tennis. We wish you great success if you choose to wager on tennis and encourage you to come back daily to see our updated tennis picks.
