Wimbledon Betting Odds Previews of Men’s and Women’s Tournament
We know our friends at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette have been having fun at our expense. We do carry syndicated betting previews in MLB where one of the writers starts out with the inane “both teams will be gunning for victory”. Pulitzer Prize writing no, but great information for the sports bettor abounds on the Offshore Insiders Network.
Speaking of, our partners at Bodog have a sensational tennis betting odds preview of the men’s and women’s
So which Williams sister will it be when it comes to your Wimbledon betting at Bodog?
After all, why would you look anywhere but at the Williamses considering they have played each other in three previous
The sisters, whose power games are well-suited for grass, are in opposites halves of the draw, so a fourth consecutive final meeting could be in the cards. Serena is the betting favorite on Bodog at 5/2, while Venus is No. 2 at 11/4. Neither player has played since the French Open, where Serena was ousted by eventual champion Svetlana Kuznetsova in the quarters and Venus was thumped by Agnes Szavay in the third round.
There’s no question that Serena is playing much better tennis than her sister right now, and the draw is much more difficult for Venus with players like world No. 1 Dinara Safina, Kuznetsova, former
Safina is 8/1 odds to win Wimbledon after reaching her second straight Grand Slam final at the French Open but losing again with a major championship on the line. She has yet to win a major and some are questioning her confidence on the big stage. The Russian has never advanced past the third round at the All England Club.
It’s never super profitable to bet on the favorite in individual sports like tennis, but the smart money must go on Serena at
Friday’s surprising news that defending champion Rafael Nadal will miss Wimbledon because of his bothersome knees does more than rob tennis fans and bettors of a possible epic final replay against Roger Federer.
It also elevates Andy Murray to the favorite in my opinion.
The Brit is currently 11/4 to win tennis’ lone grass-court major. That’s second to Federer (4/5), who has won this tournament five teams and might be poised to break Pete Sampras record of 14 Grand Slam titles as well as return to No. 1 in the world off his French Open championship. Federer should be the overwhelming favorite.
But

Toyota/SaveMart 350 Betting Preview and Betting Odds
