Tennis betting Q's

[jayhawknate]

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 assume you are familiar with the rules of tennis, and just confused about the Asian Handicap itself. If that is the case:

1. Haas vs IIhan
Haas +1.5 sets

In order for your bet to win, Haas has to win the match outright, or lose by less than 2 sets. In terms of Monday's results, Ilhan def. Haas 3-1. Making Ilhan -1.5 a winner, and Haas +1.5 a loser.

2 Fish vs Mello
Fish -5.5 games

In this case, Fish must win 6 or more games than Mello. In terms of Monday's results, Fish def. Mello 3-1. (6-2, 6-7, 6-2, 6-4). After the 1st set, Fish was +4 games. After the 2nd, +3. After the 3rd, +7. And after the 4th, and match.. +9. Fish -5.5 is a winner as he won 9 more games then Mello.

Hope this helps! :victory:

Looks like the old stomping grounds are looking pretty isolated. I think I seen a tumbleweed roll by in there. :laughing:

Hope you've been running well!

Headed to VEGAS in June and want to sit at sportsbooks drinking and watching/betting tennis.
