Tennis Betting - Tips For Exchange Betting on Tennis Matches

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=S_Avery]S Avery

 By choosing tennis as your preferred sport for betting, you have already given yourself an "edge" against those who bet on or offer odds on other sports. To use this "edge" to make money consistently, however, you'll need to understand two fundamental principles first. Then apply the power of mathematics.

Principle #1

 It is sheer folly to place a tennis bet (or a bet on anything) with a "traditional" bookmaker. The expression "You can't beat the bookie" is axiomatic; you just cannot beat the bookie over time. It's because the odds are always mathematically calculated in favour of the bookmaker. Everyone knows (or should know) that the bookie's mathematical "edge" against the punter is necessary for him to make a profit so that he can stay in business.

 Computer technology has given rise to a new form of betting, known as "exchange betting" or "matched betting". With "betting exchanges" there is no bookie to beat; in other words, there is no middle-man. Every punter bets against another punter or punters somewhere out there in the Internet ether. Any punter (or "trader") can place a "back" bet that a player or team will win, and/or place a "lay" bet that a player or team will lose. Thus, any punter can choose to act as an ordinary bettor and/or as a bookmaker.

 With exchange betting the odds are not set by a third-party or middle-man; they are set by the punters themselves, who place requests for odds at which they are prepared to place bets (if they wish to act as an ordinary bettor), or place offers of odds at which they are prepared to lay bets (if they wish to act as a bookmaker).

 As the "back" bettors gradually lower their requested odds and the "lay" bettors gradually raise their offered odds, the software on the exchange betting web site matches all the back bets with all the lay bets at the instant they coincide. The accounts of the "backers" or "layers" are then credited with their winnings automatically a few seconds after the end of the event according to its result.

 Obviously, the technology for providing such a "fair" betting service must be paid for somehow. This payment is taken in the form of a commission on the punter's net winnings on an event (or "market"). That is, commission is charged only on any positive difference between winnings and losses on the same event.

 This betting system is as close to a perfectly fair betting environment as it is possible to achieve.

 There are very few betting exchanges in existence, however, perhaps because the exchange betting software is so complex and therefore costly. The giant among exchange betting web sites is Betfair, with about 90% of the market at the time of writing. Others are the Global Betting Exchange (BetDAQ), ibetX, Betsson, Matchbook and the World Bet Exchange (WBX). Betfair is by far the most popular because it was the first to offer this "perfectly fair" betting environment, and is trusted to perform accurately and instantly.

Principle #2

 So, why does tennis betting give you that "edge" over betting on other sports? The answer, though simple, is often overlooked even by those who bet tennis regularly. And if you're someone who's never bet on tennis, you'd almost certainly not have realized the significance of the tennis scoring system on the betting.

 Consider this fundamental difference between the tennis scoring system and that of probably any other sport you can think of.

 In other sports and games the trailing player or team must make up the points gap by winning a point for every point they have already lost in order to catch up to the leader. Only then can they start to move ahead. This fact seems obvious.

 In tennis, however, the trailing player or team can lose the first set 6-0 (possibly with a deficit of 24 points). That team can then win the second set by the most narrow of margins, 7-6 in a tie-break, winning the set by very few points (or even by winning fewer points than the opponents, a rare but possible occurrence!).

 As soon as the trailing player or team wins the second set, the two sides suddenly have even scores, even though one player or team might have actually won many more points than the opponents.

 This anomaly often has a profound psychological effect on one or both sides, which affects the way they play for the next few minutes, and therefore also the betting odds requested and offered by punters on the match. This, however, is another aspect of tennis betting which may be the subject of another article. This article deals with the mathematical aspect of tennis betting and how to win money with this knowledge.
 

How to win at tennis betting

Now that you're aware of these two fundamental principles, how can you use them to your advantage when making tennis bets?

 The key is not to be just a "backer" or a "layer", simply betting on the final outcome of an event. If you do that, you will lose out over time, because there's always a small difference between the "back" odds and the "lay" odds -- there must be, otherwise there'd be no incentive for anyone to offer odds and there'd be no betting at all. Combine that with the commission you pay on your net winnings, and the "edge" is against you mathematically (although it is not as great as with conventional bookmakers).

 The secret to winning at tennis betting is to be BOTH a "backer" AND a "layer", but at different points during the event. This is another aspect of betting that distinguishes the exchange betting web site from the traditional bookie. At the betting exchange you can place a back or lay bet at any time during the event, right up until the very last second or the final point. This is known as "in-play" betting.

 Because in-play betting is allowed, the odds for each opposing side change as the event progresses, according to the likelihood (as perceived by the punters) of either one side or the other being the eventual winner. The trick is to place a back bet on one side at certain odds and later place a lay bet on that side (or a back bet on the other side) at better odds as fortunes change and the odds swing in your favour. If you can achieve this, you will win your bet overall, regardless of the outcome of the event -- a true "win-win" scenario.

Why bet on tennis and not on other sports?

 Apart from Principle #2, explained earlier, tennis is ideal for such "swing" betting, because the odds fluctuate after every point is played. There are therefore very many small swings to one side and then to the other. This doesn't happen in soccer, for example, because goals are so rare and a goal shifts the advantage suddenly and hugely to the scoring side.

 Furthermore, a tennis match can have one of only two results; there can be no draw or tie; and one of only two players or teams can win. In horse racing, for example, the winner can come from a large number of runners.

 The more possible outcomes there are to factor into the equation, the more difficult it is to win. (Despite this obvious logic, soccer and horse racing remain the two most popular sports for betting, probably for historical reasons. Tennis is already third in popularity, however, as more and more punters discover the fact that it is easier to make money betting on tennis than on any other sport.)

"In-play" betting or "pre-event" betting?

 Now that you have -- it is hoped -- understood and absorbed the generalities of exchange betting and the peculiarities of tennis scoring, it is time to explain the details of how you can win at tennis betting.

 Earlier it was stated that the secret to winning at tennis betting is to be both a "backer" and a "layer", but at different points during the event, placing bets at different times during the event as fortunes change and the odds swing in your favour. This can be done with both "in-play" betting and "pre-event" betting.

 One method used with in-play betting is called "scalping". As its name suggests, scalping involves skimming a tiny profit by backing or laying at exactly the right moment as the odds move slightly in your favour, perhaps when one player scores two or three consecutive points, and repeating the process again and again. The biggest drawback of scalping is that it is very time-consuming and fraught with mental and physical tension. Not only must you pay full attention to what's happening during the match by live video broadcast, but you must also catch exactly the right moments at which to bet, which is, in fact, made impossible by the 5-second delay imposed by the exchange betting software between the time you place the bet and the time it is accepted.

 We're not elaborating on this here because, as stated previously, this article is about winning by mathematics, not by the sweat of your brow. The maths aspect involves betting, not during the event, but before the event starts. That is, pre-event betting.

Mathematics do not lie!

 There are a few tennis betting "systems", some purely manual, others using software programs, some of which are enormously complicated. From the investigations of the writer (a mathematician), they all require the input, at some point, of a "probability factor" by the bettor. This probability factor is usually the odds at which you want your "balancing" bet (the "lay" bet on the "backed" side or the "back" bet on the opposing side) to be triggered, giving you the "win-win" scenario mentioned earlier.

 So, how do you determine the value of this probability factor? That, dear reader, is the crucial point of the whole matter, the linch-pin that holds any exchange betting "system" together and determines whether it succeeds or fails, whether you win or lose.

 Up to now, it seems, this probability factor has had to be determined by the sheer experience of a few seasoned professional gamblers, or by trial-and-error guesswork by lesser mortals. Little wonder that so many punters lose or do not win as much as they could because they do not know the EXACT value needed to optimize their bets!

 Accuracy is of paramount importance when determining the probability factor, in order to maximize the chances of winning consistently. A search on the Web for a tool to calculate it proved negative. The writer therefore created one that encompasses not only all aspects of exchange betting but also the peculiarities of the tennis scoring system, and called it the Abacus Exchange Betting Calculator, for want of a better name. The probability factor is calculated to two decimal places, merely by entering the pre-event odds of both opposing sides, and has enabled the writer to make consistently more than 10% profit from tennis betting since Wimbledon 2009.

 As a parallel test, the writer also placed bets according to "gut feeling", in sufficient numbers to establish a trend. It resulted in a loss of 10% of the working capital (or "bank").

 Other tests were done, using the Abacus Exchange Betting Calculator, by betting on other sports where small odds swings occur, such as American Football, snooker and darts (very long matches only, otherwise the swings are too large). The results here just about covered the commissions paid on winnings; so, it is not worthwhile.

 It seems, then, that the particular mathematical formula or algorithm (which is very complex) discussed here works well only in conjunction with the unique scoring system of tennis.

Conclusion

 As a scientist, the writer feels that it is highly probable to win at sports betting consistently over time only when the following factors are present:

1. An exchange betting web site is used, not a conventional betting web site. (Beware of many sites that pretend to offer exchange betting by appearing in search engine results for "exchange betting"! Ensure that their software system enables you both to back and to lay bets at any odds you want against other punters, not against the house. If in doubt, check that their web site looks like the one at Betfair.)

AND

2. The sport is tennis, because of its unique scoring system.

AND

3(a) You learn about and become experienced in in-play betting and are prepared to devote almost all your time glued to a computer screen while following each match, sometimes more than one simultaneously.

OR

3(b) You use software that tells you exactly the odds to request and offer and the stakes to place in pre-event betting in only a few minutes, thus allowing you to get on with your normal life.

Three Secrets You Want to Know to Playing Your Best Tennis

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Dr._Ossil_V_MacAvinta]Dr. Ossil V MacAvinta

There are so many millions of people who play tennis everyday throughout the world. They play in public parks, country clubs, private tennis courts, and anything in between (i.e. against a wall).

Tennis is the only sport I know that begins with love and is a sport for a lifetime. I remember the great Sugar Daddy, Bobby Riggs who said in one of the many tennis clinics he taught, "Tennis is a sport you can play from cradle to grave."

 Why do people enjoy playing tennis? I believe because it is a classy sport. It is a sport you can play for as short as 15 minutes or as long as 3 to 5 hours, it all depends on your ability level and motivation. I was fortunate enough to play professional tennis. I had a world ranking in the ATP Tennis of 662 in singles and 457 in doubles. I had wins over players ranked in the top 200 in singles in the world and wins over players ranked in the top 50 in doubles.

 In this article, I want to provide you with the three secrets to playing your best tennis. Of course, there are more than three secrets, but three secrets are enough to help you play better tennis.

 First, there is no substitute to practicing, practicing, over and over and over again. Practice is the seed to building confidence! When you practice in addition to playing tennis regularly, you will feel a sense of accomplishment, you will feel that you deserve to win because you know for yourself that you have been investing the time to improve your game. So, practice at least two to three hours extra a week if you are a club tennis player. If you are a tournament player you should practice at least 15 hours a week, which equals to 3 hours a day, 5 days a week.

 Second, visualize yourself hitting the tennis ball perfectly. Imagine yourself in the movie screen of your mind that you are moving side to side, running forward and backward, hitting each ball with perfect accuracy. Visualize your forehand, backhand ground strokes being hit over the net with 3 to 5 feet clearance. Picture every stroke you hit with perfect ball control. See each of your tennis strokes, feel each tennis stroke, and experience each and every tennis stroke you hit with confidence. Repeat this each time pre and post tennis game or match. By so doing, you are training your mind or inner game to manifest itself in your outer game or physical game. Tennis is a mind game once you have learned all the fundamentals of each tennis stroke.

 Third, watch the big players or your favorite tennis pro on the ATP or WTA tour and copy their tennis style. Watch YouTube videos or television footage of your favorite player over and over again until you emulate their movements. One of my favorite players to watch when I was playing competitive tennis was John McEnroe (USA) and Guillermo Villas (Argentina). I use to watch McEnroe's serve and literally copy his serve. I would watch Villas hit his ground strokes over and over again until I was mirroring Guillermo Villas' ground strokes. It was usually after watching these great tennis players in a grand slam event that I mirrored their mannerisms. After all, why event the wheel, copy what the big players do and do the same. Of course, as your tennis game matures, you will begin to develop your own style and preferences.

 So, there you are the three secrets you want to know to playing your best tennis! Remember, there is no substitute to practicing each and every day in addition to playing regularly tennis matches. Begin today if you do not already do so; visualize yourself hitting the tennis ball with each and every tennis stroke perfectly until you are confident in your mind and in your heart that you can execute it with ease and confidence. And, finally, do not reinvent the wheel, copy the tennis players on the tennis tour by watching their tennis until can have someone say on the side line, "Hey, that person hits the ball like Roger Federer or Maria Sharapova." Before you know it you will be winning your club tournaments and filling your shelves with trophies.

Is Djokovic unstoppable?

 The tennis story has been a familiar one for the past few years, with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal taking up most of the space on the back pages. Their brilliance has been undeniable and has provided men's tennis with the excitement and consistency that the women's game currently lacks. However, this season has seen Novak Djorkovic play some quite incredible tennis to go unbeaten for twenty-seven matches in a row, the best start of a campaign since Ivan Lendl's run in 1986.

 Last night the Serb continued his impressive start to 2011 by beating Nadal in three sets in the Sony Ericsson Open final. The quality of tennis by both players was outstanding, as both showed their wide array of arsenal. The Serb initially seemed unable to cope with the combination of Rafa's shot selection and windy conditions as the world number one came raced to a 5-1 lead. Despite the unusual amounts of unforced errors committed in the first half hour, the Serb adapted his game dramatically to scrap back to four games.
However, the second set was where Djokovic came alive taking it 6-3 against his typically resilient opponent. The third was a real tussle as both players showed impressive amounts of determination. The match was eventually decided by a tie-breaker, which the Novak managed to take 7-4. The Miami trophy adds to the Hopham Cup, Indian Wells, Dubai Tennis Championships and the Australian Open that he has managed to pick up this year. So who can beat him?

  Roger Federer? The best player to ever play the sport seems unable to compete with the dominant two of world's tennis at the moment. Perhaps the extra parental stress has taken its toll on the Swiss. Although, reigning French Open champion, the absence of Nadal at Rolland Garros last year somewhat taints that accomplishment. No doubt, Federer will be considered as a top contender, but it seems likely that he will be able to produce the goods against both Nadal and Djokovic on clay.
A player who should be in contention to make an impact in Paris is Andy Murray. However, the Scot has played poorly following the defeat in Australian Open final. Since the loss, Murray has seemingly dropped out of the frame with only an April fool's joke to be heard of. The pressure to win a Grand Slam must surely be frustrating for the Scot, who is more than capable enough to win one. His offensive work definitely needs improving, but his defensive play is top class. Maybe his new coach should be one of an aggressive mentality? John McEnroe anyone?

Let's be honest, it's impossible to remain undefeated the entire season. Someone's has to stop the run and it seems the best chance lies with Nadal at the moment. With the clay season beginning shortly, if the Serb manages to succeed in trumping Nadal on the Spaniard's preferred court, than the tennis world will truly have witnessed something remarkable. For Djokovic to win the French Open is still questionable, but there is no doubt as to who is the man to beat. He's hitting the ball so sweetly with his Head Youtek Speed racket right now.

Crappie Fishing Techniques

Author: Mall  Alexander

 One of the most in style fish to go out and catch, or ought to I say try to catch, is that the crappie. Folks from everywhere the country fish for these little beauties, mostly because they provide such nice table fare. Of all the fish swimming is freshwater, crappie are within the running for the most effective tasting. Their lightweight flaky meat is abundant like the flesh of a walleye, only a small amount "sweeter". There are various techniques which will be used to catch crappie, however 2 of the foremost standard have to be live minnows and/or little jigs. I'll offer a brief synopsis of each in this text to offer you an overview.

 Live Minnows - The foremost fashionable way to catch Crappie is in all probability through the use of live minnows. Most anglers use a size 4 or vi hook, hook it through the minnows back, place this live minnow below a bobber and fish for Crappie. Although this method works, there are higher ways to present you reside minnow to the fish. The simplest means is thru the utilization of gang hooks. Gang hooks are simply a pair of tiny hooks tied in tandem. Thus, within the case of Crappie, the angler ought to first tie a little barrel swivel onto their line. Then tie a eight or ten set of gang hooks onto the opposite finish of the barrel swivel. Currently, take a live minnow and hook it through the lips of the prime hook (I continually leave the second hook "floating free", however hooking the second hook into the minnows' back works moreover). Now place your bobber onto you line and your sensible to go. Hooking the minnow through the lips does very little or no harm, and therefore the minnow lives for a terribly while, which is nice because live minnows will be a bit pricey. The longer you'll keep your bait "alive", the better. The gang hook technique is terribly effective for catching crappie.

Tiny Jigs - Tiny jigs are also a terribly common technique for catching Crappie. The twister tail that you place on the jig is that the necessary part. There are no onerous and quick rules as way as color is worried, so experimentation is that the key. One thing that I've got found is that Berkley's "Power" version of twister tails work quite well. In some cases these "power tails" will even out fish live minnows. Again, as way as what color to use, experimentation is that the key. Another very effective technique when it involves jigging for Crappie is to tip your jig with a live minnow. Simply hook a minnow through the lips onto the hook of your jig, and your jip is "tipped".

 The two techniques mentioned in this text are the most common and only manner to catch Crappie. Are there alternative ways that to catch these delectable fish? In fact, but these two are the most effective. I recently saw a "crappie rig" in the native tackle shop, and thought I should mention it. It was a contraption with like three large hooks returning off of it, with a sort of wire that kept the 3 hooks from getting tangled. It looks somewhat like a "tree", for lack of a higher means to explain it. I used to be flabbergasted by this issue, and quite frankly a touch scared. Please, I beg of you, never obtain or use a contraption such the sort I'm making an attempt to describe. Remember what Steven Wright said of fishermen, "There's a fine line between fishing and simply standing on the shore like an idiot." Using rigs like the "crappie rig" build us appear as if idiots!

The Best Kind of Bait for Catfishing

 The largest catfish are known to go for natural bait. Most types of catfish are omnivorous and scavengers, devouring a variety of food items. There are thousands of baits used to catch catfish. Some of the more frequently used types of catfishing bait are: live perch, shad, crawfish, worms, minnows, grasshoppers, chicken liver, stink baits, night crawlers, marshmallows, and small frogs. Live bait is absolutely the best tool at your disposal. Scent is also an important factor, as catfish have a great sense of smell.

The most commomly used bait is also one of the most efficient; the worm. Night crawlers and even the comon garden worm will do just fine. Garden worms are one of the most common baits to find, and they work just fine. In a natural habitat, catfish wait to devour live worms that make their way into the territory. Many shops carry night crawlers and worms, but they can also be dug up from the ground itself.

Catfish are also widely known to feast on shrimp or small prawn. Depending on the size of the prawn, use them whole or cut them in half. Although you can use prawns with their shells still attached, it's better to remove the shells. Frozen and fresh bait for catfishing are easily found at a local bait shop or seafood market. A powerful strategy for inceasing the appeal of your bait is to soak it in fish oil to make it's smell more pungent and appealing to the catfish.

Catfishing can also done with homemade bait. Even common household items such as peanut butter and corn flakes can be appealing. To help attract the catfish, this homemade recipe with pungent oils is a helpful tool. Plus, the peanut butter and corn flake mixture is almost impossible for smaller fish to get off the hook. Another useful tip for hooking catfish is pieces of sweet corn. The sweet corn wrapped around bread ball is a great way to lure in the catch. This method will release a sweet odor that will lure the catfish right to you! Don't wory about smaller fish being attracted to this concoction, this will single-out only the catfish that you desire. The bread helps to catch those hook-shy fish that have gotten that way from too much catch and release. There is yet another common ingredient you cna use from around the house that catfish love to eat, and that is cheese.

 This is not all you can use, your imagination is the limit when discovering excited new bait. With their weak eyesight, catfish use their strong nose to help them locate and catch their prey. Odor is your most powerful weapon, keep this in mind over any other factor when creating homemade bait. Don't worry about being to specific with bait, catfish are not picky, just be creative when deciding on a method.

Inflatable Boat Fishing - What Are the Best Boats to Use?

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Christopher_Hupp]Christopher Hupp

Inflatable Boat Fishing

 Inflatable boat fishing?! Who's ever heard of such a thing? If you haven't, you're not alone, which is why I've put together this article to help educate you on inflatable boat fishing and some of the advantages it has over regular boat fishing.

Inflatable fishing boats

 First things first, we have to go over the idea of inflatable fishing boats. They are great for a number of reasons, including their versatility, easy storage, and light weight. Another great plus is that they are relatively inexpensive. It is important, however, to keep in mind that with boats, as with most anything, you get what you pay for. With that in mind, let me introduce a couple of good quality inflatable boats.

Neva III

 The Neva III Inflatable Fishing Boat has a four rider, max 495lb capacity. It is lightweight, carrying a total weight of only 37 lbs. It is made of sturdy pre-tested vinyl and heavy duty PVC, helping to prevent punctures or tears in the seams. The Neva III comes equipped with an all-around grab rope, comfortable inflatable seats, fishing pole holder and safety valve. There is also a sturdy valve for quick inflation and deflation. Average cost of the Neva III, $95.

SeaHawk II

The SeaHawk II is built tough. The weight capacity on this inflatable fishing boat is up to 660lbs. With its SUPER TOUGHTM construction, made with three separate layers of materials, it provides extra strength and durability. The SeaHawk II also sports all-around grab lines, two fishing pole holders, a gear pouch, grab handles,

motor mount fittings, shelf box, and oar holders. Average cost of the SeaHawk II, $220.

Advantages

Now, on to the advantages of inflatable fishing boats. (As if you needed more explanation than the product summaries themselves). These boats carry some great advantages over regular fishing boats. First of all, they are much less expensive than a regular fishing boat. They provide a more comfortable ride in many cases, due to their inflatable seats. Inflatable boats also are much easier to store. You simply dry, deflate, and store safely until next use. They also are much lighter in weight and thus easier to maneuver. They provide a softer touch on the water, making fishing that much more enjoyable. Another great perk is that, as mentioned in the beginning, they are versatile. You can use them for rafting, fishing, or just plain fun in the sun. [http://www.yourinflatables.com/inflatable-boats]Inflatable fishing boats can be lots of fun and can provide hours of great fishing. Now it's up to you to decide if it's right for you!
