Wimbledon odds favor Serena Williams to win the 2009 Wimbledon title. Is Serena a good bet in Wimbledon betting odds? What about her sister Venus in Wimbledon ?
Wimbledon slightly favor Serena over her sister Venus this year. That goes right along with the world rankings as Serena is ranked #2 and Venus is ranked #3. Who is at the #1 spot you may wonder? That honor goes to Dinara Safina but she is not among the favorites in Wimbledon odds at the sports book.
Venus Williams has won in Wimbledon odds the past two years. Overall she has won in Wimbledon betting odds a total of five times. Venus definitely knows how to win the big titles while her sister Serena is not quite as accomplished although at this stage or their careers is more talented.
It is not a good idea to underestimate Venus Williams in Wimbledon . Two years ago she was seeded 23rd but ended up as the Wimbledon odds champion. Last year she was seeded 7th and won again, this time beating her sister Serena in the final of Wimbledon . This year Venus Williams is going to get a lot more respect, deservedly so, from the people at Wimbledon and from the sportsbook oddsmakers. It is expected that Venus will be the second or third seed while her sister Serena will be the top seed. What is interesting about Wimbledon betting odds and the seedings is that they do not follow the world rankings. Wimbledon has this pride issue and rank the players on their own. It has proven foolish at many times as the past two years have shown when Venus won as the 23rd and 7th seed in Wimbledon odds. It will be interesting to see if people have learned anything and rank Venus where she belongs, as the first or second seed.
Will you take a shot with one of the sisters in Wimbledon this year at the sports book? Serena is about a 5-2 favorite while Venus is right there at 3-1 in Wimbledon betting odds. Those are short Wimbledon but with one of the two winning 7 of the last 9 titles it is hard to argue with betting on them. Longshots are always interesting and intriguing but they have not been profitable unless you consider Venus a longshot at the sports book which has happened in the past, but not this year.
