Hello
Not sure if this is the best Board but wondered if anyone has experience/recommendations of subscribibg to watch live tennis online - in this case the US Open.
I have spent hours trawling for any 'free to view' options but without success. I've decided I can justify treating myself to a subsciption - most seem to be c. $30 (£20) per year.
There are hundreds of sites offering live sports coverage and I just don't want to fork out for something and get ripped off (i.e. poor streaming, matches not available as advertised etc.)
Anyone have any advice or know where I can get some?
With gratitude

If you have a reasonable internet connection it shoud be fine.
When you find a website that offers live streaming, type the name of the site in google followed by reviews and maybe the site will have comments / reviews on a forum.0 -
If this website is anything to go by, Eurosport RU and Bet 365 appear to offer the best streaming rates.

Eurosport appears to be free but may be selective on the matches it broadcasts. I'm currently watching a match on Eurosport.ru from a link on the Wiziwig website. The picture quality is excellent with no buffering whatsoever. Mind you it is 1 o'clock in the morning.
Bet 365 require you to register with them, have an account (which means putting money in) and placing a bet within the previous 24 hours of the match starting. The viewer is not full screen.

So you could open an account with, say £20 and just put small bets on to access the streams. It's probably best not to do this if you have ever had a gambling problem though.
You could look into matched betting which, if applied correctly, would negate any gambling losses and possibly give you a profit. There is a very long explanatory thread on the Matched Betting board.

I now have several options.
