I had Lopez +280 and Black +340 today and both win the first set but the opponents (Coria & Ferreira) both retire because of nagging injuries. These injuries were why both matches were hit hard with overnight steam so the books new rule on completion is combating this type of steam on injuries. Frustrating for me but I must say very shrewd by the books using this rule now.
New Tennis rules-
I think that the books who are changing their rules are just to lazy to follow tennis and know who is "damaged" goods. What next..a Stevie Francis or Jimmy Edmonds rule or maybe a rule saying Iverson has to play 40 minutes for Sixer bets to be official?
And are golf matchups next? Many of the big names drop out after a bad round to keep from hurting the stats.
Matchups have ALWAYS been based on first serve and if books are choosing to change them it is because the players are beating the books.
Congratulations to DSI, 5 Dimes, Carib, and you can add ABC to the list of books that are not afraid of taking a tennis bet.
Good Luck to All
