OT: The Throwing vs Hitting Tennis Bet
 

Since this is becoming a pretty big thing I created a new thread.

I will accept almost any offers with the throwing and hitting. Obviously the thrower is at the disadvantage, if he uses a standard baseball mitt or glove, it is even money. If he uses barehands, it is 3-1 4-1 depending on the level of the player using the racket. Lets keep all tennis posts in here and lets start gambling folks.

1C5 of 2+2 is the first man to officially challenge me in the match. The match will be scheduled November 2nd or 3rd in Las Vegas, NV. He is still deciding wether to play me even money with a glove or 4-1 with barehands.

Side-betting will be encouraged and do not hesitate to come out and enjoy the fun. Location will be announced shortly, match can be played on clay or hardcourts, 1C5 can make that decision.

I would think that, even with a glove on, there's no way that's even money

Re: OT: The Throwing vs Hitting Tennis Bet
 

I will decide on the glove vs no glove and type of court shortly.

Wow, this is like the old Amarillo Slim ping pong matches. Awesome that we've got some hustler gamblers in BBV!

Nick, confirm this is a regular tennis court, regular tennis balls, and are you allowed to move with the ball while holding it?

Re: OT: The Throwing vs Hitting Tennis Bet
 

once i catch the ball i cannot move, i can pivot off one foot, but cannot move forward to throw from a closer position. regular hard or clay court and regular balls.

i dont understand, what is the point/ you try and hit a tennis ball that a catcher throws? i dont get it

Re: OT: The Throwing vs Hitting Tennis Bet
 

there has to b a rule on how long u have to throw the ball. otherwise, you could stall out, kill the movement of the game, and do too many fake throws, then lob over the front of the net with backspin. seems with a glove you still wouldnt b even money if you only had say a second to throw again. not to mention, your serves will b so slow after 50 or so.
