Welcome to The Wooden Racket

OK. First blog. Here we go.

First off, although I love tennis as a sport and a source of entertainment, this blog is all about betting. I have a theory. Wanna hear it? Good. It goes like this: bookies in Vegas don't watch tennis. They don't care. They're busy watching football, basketball, baseball ... hell, anything but tennis. There's just something un-american about it.

But there's nothing un-american about making money.

That's why we bet tennis. If you take the time to get to know the players, the back-stories, the injuries, and everything else, you can beat your bookie betting on tennis. At least that's how the theory goes.

So what we'll do here is provide a little information, a lot of opinion, and most importantly -- picks for the upcoming matches. Hopefully we can all make a little cash together.

Stay tuned for second round Aussie Open picks. We'll try to make like a high-fibre diet and keep this thing regular.

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie. Oi, oi, oi!
