Well, from yesterdays, match against Moya, you would think I would be crazy to have a tennis bet on Tim Henman winning Wimbledon wouldn’t you? Well so would I, but in the betting world, if you’re looking to make a good return on a bet placed then you’ve got to look the other way a little bit.

So how often have you been disappointed in a player or team that you fancy for a competition performing poorly or even losing in the early stages? Happens a lot, but this is good for improving your odds. Let’s face it, do you bet to win or bet to win Money? You know the answer, so to win a good amount of money, you need good odds.

Here’s an example : Do you know that at the time of writing, you can get odds on Tim Henman winning Wimbledon outright at 300 / 1. Now if you placed a tenner on this outcome, you get £3000 back! Reasonable? I think so.

Yes, of course the likelyhood is that it won’t happen but in sport - it can! SO come on, if you want to get some real money from betting, don’t forget that you should be betting with money you can afford to lose - you need to look where the decent odds are.
