Wimbledon 2003 Tennis Betting Review From Centrebet

Centrebet offered a full range of 2004 Wimbledon tennis betting options on this Grand Slam tournament, which ran from 21 June until 4 July, 2004.
Mark Philippoussis will have to wait for another day for his moment of glory, but he proved once and for all at Wimbledon that he was capable of mixing it with the best, and that was on a limited lead up campaign.
Wimbledon 2003 Tennis Betting Review Of The Mens Final From Centrebet
When 'the Scud' made the final, we knew we would be in for a hectic time as far as betting went, and that is how it turned out. The mens final was the biggest Wimbledon we ever had, and for Centrebet at least, the result went the right way as we had 'kept' Roger Federer throughout most of the betting. Philippoussis had some big bets 'alive' coming into the final, including $5000 and $3000 at $21, and in the hundreds of bets placed on the final match, there were another two of $20,000 at $2.50. A client from Spain placed $5000 on Federer to win 3-0 and 3-1 (each at $3.90), but the betting was so big that both of those options got to a better price. Federer landed winning bets of $25,000 ($1.50) and three bets of $20,000 at $1.55, and the way he ripped through Andy Roddick, and then Philippoussis, he is going to be a force to be reckoned with in all future tournaments.
Wimbledon 2003 Tennis Betting Review Of The Womens Final From Centrebet
The womens final was a bizarre betting event, but we are used to seeing that when the Williams sisters play each other. Normally punters want to stay out of these matches, but this went the other way, due to the injury Venus had. Serena firmed from $1.45 into $1.33 at one stage, but the long price available for Venus ($3.20) was the best available, and we found it very easy to sell. When the television coverage began, it was evident that Venus was nowhere near 100%, and we took close to $50,000 in a ten minute period for Serena, both to win and to win 2-0. Venus shocked all by winning the first set, but the theory apparently was that that was a 'gift', as even the $2 for her wasn't appealing to punters even though she was a set up. The cynics have had a field day with this since the final was decided, but imagine how hard it would be to play any sport against a sibling and then look at this situation. The whole issue has overshadowed the fact that the Williams' have 'lengths' on any other women that play the game.
