5Dimes primarily for me too for tennis. I have 10 others, but most are useless for tennis except for the odd line here or there. Carib, Worldbet and Cris are the only ones who even offer parlays. Pinnny, Oly, sia come up with a decent line sometimes and have set betting. Pinny has handicaps in later rounds. For MLB, I use Pinny & ABC Islands mostly. if I really wanted to get seroius about tennis, a Euro book or 3 would be a must. Betfair, Gamebrokers, Bet365, 10bet. Ladbrokes, Pointbet, Royal, Expekt, Betsafe are popular. I find many of them hard to navigate though, sort of like driving on the other side of the road. I'm thinking of joining Matchbook &/or Mansion for MLB. Sometimes the Euro books are slow to move or have odd lines for US sports. That's why I just kept Worldbet, which I originally jsut got for soccer.
Safina has a good shot today.

Nice call on Monfils. Congrats. I hedged at the last minute with the +5', so that took the sting off a bit. Turned out to be a bad matchup for James. Unreal how he ran down those blasts to the corners that would have been winners vs. most. What do you think of Monfils chances today vs. a similar type hard hitter?
That's a tough call. Monfils is hitting on all cylinders right now but what worrys me is that he has played 3 back to back to back 5 setters and he will be going w out the days rest. I am leaning on him to lose the 1st set -140 at 5dimes. Will try to post by 5am on what I like but this should be some tennis this week and chances to make some good $$ on those propbets that start w the next matches
Oly has -170 for match. They might let me change it.I took Djokovic in some parlays with Hantuchova/Sugiyama, Seattle and Ariz (Webb is lights out) MLB and Dallas (NBA). Hedged with Monfils 3-1, 3-2 at Pinny +540/580.
Btw, Oly was nice enough to cancel my mistaken bet, though it did not matter as they require 2 sets to be played. Betmaker would not cancel my Benneteau hedge, so I might win that depending on their rules, which are not posted!

Betmaker just graded my win for Benneteau +165! What a turn of events. I like Martin, but win with the dog when trying for a non-existent scalp. Boy, I stepped in it today!
Note to self:
1. Check tennis rules for each book, especially when there is a chance of injury or a player is coming off a long match or two.
2. Never bet when exhausted.

Never played at Skybook so I cant comment on their rules but 5dimes clearly states that the 1st set must complete. Since he retired at 5-1 the 1 set never completed so thank god for the voided wager.
