We believe that Tennis is the best sport for making money.
Why?
Firstly there are only two outcomes. This may sound obvious, but it should not be underestimated. The draw in sports like Football can be a major obstacle to long term profits, with Tennis you either win or lose.
Secondly, most bookmakers concentrate on sports with a high `margin` or profit like Horse racing. The average margin is around 25% on a big horse race, but only around 5% on a Tennis match ! No wonder big bookmakers like Coral Eurobet have stopped taking bets on nearly all Tennis matches apart from Grand Slams.
Thirdly, it is quite common for the odds compilers to make mistakes, due to the large amount of variables that have to be considered. Ask yourself this : How many male players can you name outside the top 20? Most people can only name a few, but all matches have to be considered, so the workload to study the statistics is just too great for the majority of bookmakers. The net result is that there is often a wide variance in odds from different bookmakers, ideal conditions for Punters!
