Topic: Tennis Thread - The silence is deafening (Read 187 times)

yes it is true. but actually there is not too much to say since we know Sinner is the number 1 .
(just kidding of course)

6 king slams has been a nice experiment but something too fast for engaging a discussion on the forum.
Now there are just small tournaments, up to Paris Bercy.
 
I would suggest however to split discussions on this sport.
There are many tournaments, strategies, betting related events to tennis that can't be kept just in one thread.

Maybe because many new players are not so well known on tennis so there are not many know the skill and their competence to bet or discuss it. I used to love tennis, I always watch when Maria Sharapova, Anna Kournikova, and Ana Ivanovic playing in the field. But after those girls no longer visible on the field I'm so lazy to watch this sport. If you see what I've favorite is, you will be able to guess how old me when love Steffi Graf also.

I personally like Tennis as a sport but I am least interested in following every player for the sake of betting. Sports betting is now becoming more tougher than it was 5 years back. It is comparitably easier to bet on a team with higher/lesser odds than an individual. What I mean is it is easier when you are placing a bet on team, cause you know one or two, maybe three players of a team can change the outcome of a particular match. Whereas with tennis it is very hard to bet on a single individual performance, that is my understanding.

With reference to the long running Tennis thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.64652295
after 9 years of activity it seems to have come to a grinding halt. There isnt any
discussion about arguably one of the biggest individual sports where once,
not so long ago the discussion was very lively.

There have been and still are tournaments running which have gone uncommented
on in the thread.

We have a tennis thread that has been also been very active however, as per the OP, it hasn't get that much attention lately.

I can only think that gamblers move to other sports and yeah, there could be players that replace the old big 3 or 4 but they don't have that charisma like Roger and Nadal before. Now tennis players doesn't have that charm.

Maybe fans here just watches the big tournaments or the finals itself because games are not that attractive anymore.

I still watch and also bet on tennis because it is one of my favorites although not as often as before because there are other activities, and because the tennis thread has been buried far makes me reluctant to discuss there.

Maybe because you as one of those who are quite active in talking about tennis can start a new thread or open a thread based on major tournaments that are currently taking place such as Grand Slam, Master 1000 or also WTA and ATP Final which will take place in about 1-2 weeks and for the Masters there is currently the Paris Master, and lock it after the tournament is over.

The sport is bigger than any one player, it didnt die when Connors, Borg, McEnroe,
Agasi and Becker hung up their rackets. True Tennis fans wouldnt abandon the
game just because the big 3 retired. There is fantastic Tennis being played
by the younger generation and this will continue to be the case years from now.

I would be interested to know why you gave up visiting and commenting in the thread?

Do we have a tennis thread in this forum? If we do, so many people don't know about that anyway. For people who know about that, what will they get to talk about since they are not following it to know the player or country that wins or loses in a tennis tournament? By the way, table tennis matches are not most people's favorite sport to watch.

I agree, I still see several bettors regularly post their bets from the community server I follow.

As Upgrade mentioned, I sometimes see tennis discussed in a few threads and i'd try to join whenever they're mentioned. Unfortunately, those posts easily come and go since those threads cover several sports.

It's most likely that there is a new set of Big 4 already. Obviously, majority of us here could have followed the best tennis years of Federer, Nadal, Murray. Only Djokovic is left however, for old school tennis fans, they might not like the new set of players.

Still good to bet and follow tennis still, I do but I haven't commented on that thread for years as well.

A lot of players are also very inconsistent as far as I know, like Tsitsipas, who has a lot of promises but turns out to be a bust.

It means people no longer interested with Tennis, if people are interested with Tennis, even the thread isn't appeared in the first page, people can search and find it by themselves. Creating a new for each of big tournaments do help because the old Tennis thread already has 811 pages, in some campaign they only count in thread with less than 250 pages, some users refrain to post in mega thread.

Exactly the reason! People have better alternatives and easier sports to bet. Besides, the number of people that bet on Tennis is actually lower than those that bet on soccer, basketball, hockey and possibly cricket. Its been long I even placed a bet on Tennis and that will be the case of many people here. So the silence is understandable, maybe when the European season comes to an end we will go back to some of the other sports such as the Tennis in question.

Betting on tennis looks to be as strong as it has always been.

Everybody is too busy worrying about the million soccer leagues and cricket leagues to care about tennis apparently. The section is flooded with those threads and the tennis discussion has probably been buried and forgotten. Maybe give it a bump.

It's possible the most tennis fans discuss the sport in isolated pools now, which did not exist some years back accounting for the drop in activity on that thread. These users were likely the real fans and tennis despite being a very large sport is not as huge as football or cricket, so most spammers do not have enough knowledge on it to comment on that thread.
I will take the genuine, slow activity there over other threads with lots of spam replies.

Such vast work evolving in a longstanding field is interesting. Conversation of tennis is going down, though the competition is live. It raises questions concerning the relevance of sports and betting on them.

This may be caused by a variety of reasons. One of the causes could be the emergence of other sports or other issues that the community is focused on. The other could be the shift in the nature of tennis, such as the sacking of popular players or less major tournaments. However, no discussion does not mean that tennis betting has decreased. It can be up and down because of various reasons such as: changes in the market betting options offered and other popular sports going on. Perhaps it is just happening somewhere else or online, with real-time capabilities such as social media or dedicated online forums for the sport and betting.

Easy: restore a tree. going back to nature Share information Update about future tournaments or tips on how to make money betting again Ask for their opinions about current tournaments or players Discussion on how things have changed regarding betting, sharing your experiences, helps you understand where people stand now about tennis betting. Overall, there is a need to investigate these possibilities to see if the tennis conversation can be revived. It might be good to compare it to other forums or platforms to see where the current interest is and how it is being discussed.


Most tennis fans today would probably talk about the sport on the hills or on more secluded courts. This may not have been commonplace many years ago. This movement may be due to decreased activity in the bed. True tennis fans would likely move to a community with more trenches. By leaving behind trees that may have fewer patrons. Tennis, despite its popularity But there is no traditional profile. This is different from football or cricket. This makes it less popular among spammers who are not experienced enough to support the old methods.

Personally, I prefer real, slow work to threads full of abstract answers. It helps keep the conversation thoughtful and relevant. Perhaps we can try to revive the tennis tree by sharing new information. and meaningful conversations If we present exciting competitions Discuss player behavior and share betting ideas It can encourage others to join in and make this topic a reality.
