Looking to get into Tennis- have a Q's

JAYHAWKNATTY · May 24, 2011

Hello guys, trying to start up here betting but you know how that goes. I'm starting small but confused a bit. Could anyone tell me how this asian handicapping works below? Not sure how to read this.

Asian Handicap Tennis

1. Haas vs IIhan
Haas +1.5 sets

2 Fish vs Mello
Fish -5.5 games

i have no idea why "asian" is used. they are in paris right now, playing the french open.

matches are best of 5 at grand slams.

so first one, haas+1.5 sets..means if you bet on haas +1.5 sets, you will win your bet if haas wins the match or if he loses the match in 5 sets.

fish -5.5 games. if you bet on fish, he has to win 6 or more games than
his opponent.
so if fish wins the match 7-6,7-6,6-2 you win the bet
but if fish wins the match 7-6,7-6,6-3 you lose the bet.

1, If Haas loses by two sets, like 3-1 in the matter that he did, the bet is lost

2. Fish's game differential over mello has to be more than 5.5

6-4, 6-4, 6-4 is a half point win.

6-4, 7-6, 6-4 is shit i lost by a half point.
