Pinny has the same line -6750/+4750.

Why even offer a line like this? You would be crazy to bet this at WW. I like the book though but no way would I bet tennis there.

Youre right. If theyre not even semi-serious about offering lines on a sport then they should not bother. It only ends up embarrassing them and biting themselves in the ass when they offer ridiculous lines like that.

I never thought id say this, but their tennis lines are even worse than Bodog's.

I think you may be a little overcritical here. If they're offering 40 cent lines when the rest are 20 cent then fair enough.

However, with a game which is more or less a foregone conclusion, smaller books probably don't want much action on a game like this.

Better to laud Pinny than castigate WWeb.

I guess youre right in that regard. At least they put a line up. Bodog didnt even bother to put a line up on the match. Guess he didnt want to risk losing a nickel if someone took the short odds Federer.

Not trying to be too critical of them, but when i saw the line i thought why bother to put it up at these prices? Plenty of books just won't offer it which is undertandable
