Knob question, are there many people on sites such as Betfair making $100k+ per year pro betting on tennis? The equivalent to HSNL poker players...
That would be a really hard thing to verify but I suspect there are some that do but how long and consistent they maintain it is another question. Unlike poker, gambling is 100% scalable which changes things.
No it isn't. I'll show you the max bets I've had imposed on me if you like.
Yes that is correct however if you are using bet fair and have multiple accounts spread over many sites it is not difficult to get any reasonable amount on. It was more of a general point so I will pass on the viewing of your max bets.
We gonna get back to talking tennis in here? I am looking at day 2 in Del Rey. Here are a few matches I am on if anyone wants to comment.
Russel over Zherev
Grosjean over Brands
Malisse over Chardy
Also, I am really intrigued by Isner over Gruel as a slight dog. I think the books might be assuming he just gives a half tank after playing the finals in Memphis which I don't think is a safe assumption.

They aren't assuming that. Its the clay surface that makes the difference. Check out the Querrey line.

Obviously it is on Clay otherwise Isner would be a huge fav. A lot depends on how mentally and physically Isner feels after playing a lot of matches last week.
I think you are off base. I think the only reason that the line is what it is is due to the surface, nothing to do with his performance last week. I'm not sure how to quantify that, my opinion.
Querrey went deep in 2 tournaments 2 weeks in a row and now instead of playing another tournament on the same surface on the US soil he goes to Mexico to play on clay ? Weird decision considering Querrey lifetime on clay 10-19 vs 199-89 of Gonzalez and 41-9 in the last 50 .
well, isner got broken serving to get to a tie-breaker.
if i'm correct, he won like 8% on greul's first serve and 22% on the second.
good thing i traded out on him at 3-3 leaving no loss.
happy, you betting on davydenko vs berrer match?
davydenko looked like crap against serra until midway second set, it looked like he was having his usual brain-fart session but he came back to win it 6-1 in the third.
anyway, berrer's not that good, but he's lefty and if davydenko continues to brain-fart the first sets, then it can be profitable.
i did lay davydenko but backed him off before the end of the first set so only about 20% profit on berrer.
just cant trust davydenko anymore.
that guy played as if his life depended on it when he beat federer 2 consecutive times leading up to this year's aussie open and he blew a set and a break lead in the quarters.
constant mental problems and can always ****ing retire.
come on Happy Guy.. give up tennis for MMA or what? Indian wells: Roddick vs Lub final thoughts? (no one can break serve here) Wozniacki-Jankovic final thoughts (Woz is playing her best)?
