Or something like that? Well that certainly was a choke job. How many people had her in a parlay or 2?

Yup. That just proves that even thou you lay the big juice in tennis nothing is guaranteed. Alot of people say its easy to win at tennis but its really not. Honestly i was thinking of laying 2 on her so I could have some baseball money today. thank god I didn&#x27;t.

&#xD;&#xA; I think parlaying favorites is every bit as valid a technique for winning at tennis sports bets as betting on faves (though obviously the best gambler does both) but I agree it is not that easy. To me the key is to only pick players that I am 95% or better sure will win... avoiding the temptation to add more because "a -1600 can&#x27;t lose!" or add what I consider to be "risky superfavorites" like Jankovic just because they will probably win.&#xD;&#xA;Playing dogs you can miss left and right and still make profit by hitting that once-in-a-blue-moon huge dog and a few smaller ones along the way, still losing well over 50% of the time. Parlaying favorites you basically have to be perfect. And even if the odds give you a chance to accomplish that, perfection is never easy!&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;To OP: She was -1600 on my site. I know almost nothing about her so did not add her to my parlay. Checked out the match at the end out of curiosity (I probably would have added her a year ago!) only to watch her lose the 3rd set 6-4 on her own serve, with a double fault to set up match point. Pretty bad. Either a huge choke or a sly way to throw the match... I figure if my moderate fan self has not heard much about you then you are not very rich and thus more prone to throwing a match in the first place anyway--not that I am saying that is what she did.

first line correction: as betting on dogs* (If this site had a damned edit button maybe 90% of its posters would not look retarded anymore!)

dennisback · Answer

it was a live bet, i had 1.05 on betfair but the line was 1.005 (-20000) @ bet365 (for 2-0 sets) . it was Dementieva over Petrova, Dementieva led 6-1 5-1 and 30-0 and her serve... but he lost that set 6-7... must have been last year august or sth.

dennisback · Answer

oh of course i meant she lost that set... even had petrova to win the whole thing @ &#x2B;8300 but Dementieva recovered to win 3rd...
