    Best tennis book ?
    I need a book for tennis that gives me more then standard options, like over/under,handicap,set betting.
    Something like Paddy power (alternative handicap,player total games,number of sets......)but
    Paddy power with ridiculous low limits(3 € ) is totally useless for serious betting.

    I know that best for ML is Pinnacle,this odds are unreal. At least 6-7% better then regular.

        If you can play at Paddy Power, I assume you can also play at Betfair.

            Pinnacle by miles. All the rest have awful odds, and limit quickly.

                  Oh, sorry, misread.

                  None of the books that offer these will have decent limits if you bet value, or win repeatedly. Most of them only offer tennis as a sideline, and anyone focusing on it with any success is going to be swiftly booted.

                          bookmaker is horrible for tennis, they don't offer set betting or spreads (by games)

                            If you are in the U.S., 5Dimes is an OK option. Outside the U.S., the obvious choice is Pinnacle.

                              yes Pinnacle is good
                              but Betfair is way better overall
                              I know because tennis is my #1 turnover sport and shopping for odds I find way more action at Betfair than at Pinnacle
                              and you have to wait for the weekend or grand slams for any sort of sets betting options at Pinnacle
                              if the current odds aren't what I'm after I can place an order (which is frequently matched later) at Betfair ... can't do that at Pinnacle.

                                    are you really in a position to judge that?
                                    my hunch is that you've never even had an account at Betfair
                                    you may be correct if you bet nothing but US sports but this thread was asking about tennis and there is absolutely no way that Betfair isn't the better option for that

                                      for example where is their sets betting for most tournaments before the quarter finals?

                                        Betfair is ok, though early liquidity can be a problem.

                                        Have fun when they start premium charging you, and all those "good odds" effectively become -120. It's a particular problem if you make large bets on correctscores, cos if you hit one at +1000ish then you can suddenly go miles into PC territory. Not such a problem with smaller odds.

                                          Amazing how this premium charge thing keeps getting raised
                                          I really doubt that most who mention it have any clue about how it works and that it is only a very few (almost all exclusively traders) who get hit with it
                                          I'm not a trader and don't ever expect to be caught up with the premium charge, along with >99% of other Betfair users.

                                          "early" liquidity for tennis at Pinnacle is a $250 limit bet!

                                            Sportsbook.com in non-major euro sporting events hangs some ridiculous edges.

                                            However they do limit you rather quickly.

                                                LOL ... ever hear of Betfair?
                                                yep it would be good to have all those too - but apart from Bookmaker (crap odds) and Tipico (never tried them) the remainder will all limit you to waste-of-time levels if you have a clue about obtaining best prices.

                                                188 and SBO and Greek would also be handy to add to that list - and you can get at least reasonable bets on with them
