Have any of you ever had a stab at online tennis betting? My brother recommended it to me and I made £275 yesterday betting on one-sided games during play, building up my winnings from an original £300 stake and then continually re-betting what I'd won back on the next match like so:

I've re-placed my £575 balance on match that already went in my favour last night and another player leading his lower-seeded opponent 6-4, 5-4 and serving to win the match at odds of 1/66. Play has been suspended until later today due to rain, but that will bag me another £15 or so, assuming nothing extraordinary happens. It's not a huge deal for the stake placed but I think tennis betting is something that is relatively risk-free and worth building up gradually over time, so long as you don't be too rash about it. I'd do a quick bit of background reading on the players involved and look at the stats of the game in progress before throwing money down.
I'd previously tried my luck with small-stake tennis accumulators but was undone by one or two results out of between 20 and 25 on those occasions. This is a new tack and seems much more reliable.
The fact there are only two possible outcomes (and no draws) increases your chance of predicting the correct result. Tennis (especially mens singles) is also more predictable as it relies on the ability of just one individual (or just two in doubles) rather than a team of 11 or whatever and there is plenty of opportunity for the stronger player to rectify the odd error here and there, whereas, say, one error that leads to a goal might decide a football match.
