Tennis is a sport that is often overlooked by people who want to create an income from sports betting. It may not be the average man in the streets first choice sport to bet on, but that does not mean it is not profitable. It is becoming increasingly popular for very good reason. Tennis has a large fan base which spans the entire globe but only a tiny minority of those people realise it delivers a passive income.Making money from tennis betting has many advantages compared to other sports like soccer. Because tennis only has two players, there are only two possible results which make the task of selecting a winner much easier. This also significantly reduces the risk factor and the percentage of losing bets. That means betting on tennis will build your betting bank very quickly.The playing surface in tennis can also have a massive impact on the likely result.

French Open Tennis Predictions 2008
In the 2007 French Open we saw Roger Federer once again denied by Rafael Nadal as the Spaniard claimed French Open title no. 3. In the women's tournament the world no. 1 player Justine Henin dominated her Serbian opponent to defeat Ana Ivanovic 6-1, 6-2.Before making predictions about the French Open for 2008, one thing that will not happen is that Justine Henin will win the women's title.

Ivanovic is of course the losing finalist from last year and is expected to improve on that result. … [Read more...] about French Open Tennis Predictions 2008
Us Open 2008 – The Tennis Players To Watch
This year's US Tennis Open is the most fascinating for many years. Men's tennis has been shaken up by the previously invincible Roger Federer's recent form and the dominance of the young tyro's Nadal and Djokovic.
