Add Tennis to Your Bookie Business

When becoming a bookie, you always have to include a variety of sports, as well as sports leagues. Not only are you diversifying your sportsbook, but you can potentially attract more players, or encourage your players to place more wagers. One sport you should try to have in hand is Tennis.

Tennis is really not so hard to include in your wagers, since the tournaments are spread out throughout the year. And depending on your operation, you can even just pick a few to join in, and focus on other sports.
