Tennis Betting Guide
As a truly global game played on a relatively small stage, tennis provides punters with unique sports betting opportunities. Many tennis punters develop and implement complex tennis betting strategies to take advantage of the excellent odds and diverse betting options facilitated by this sport.
However, tennis is betting is also accessible to ordinary tennis fans who wish to test their knowledge of the sport against tennis betting markets for any given event. With dozens of high profile men’s and women’s tournaments held annually, tennis fans are guaranteed a steady stream of top betting opportunities throughout the year.
Online sportsbooks focus intensively on:
- The ATP Tour: A global professional men’s tennis tour comprising over fifty different tournaments in four categories.
- The WTA Tour: The professional women’s tennis tour travels to locations around the glove and is structured around four different tournament tiers.
- The Grand Slams: The four biggest and most prestigious tennis tournaments of the year. The Grand Slams are the only tennis tournaments co-sanctioned by the WTA and ATP, with players from both tours contesting major titles at a shared venue.
Popular Tennis Betting Options
Match Betting: Match betting is the most basic tennis betting option. Punters make a selection in any given match based on player form or odds, and then await the result of the match.
Set Betting: Punters can bet on individual sets in a number of ways. The first set betting option is to bet on the winner of a specific set by backing a specific player.
The second set betting option available to punters requires the prediction of the final tennis scores in the match according to the number of sets won by each player. This variant of set betting tends to offer higher odds than simply predicting the winner of a particular set.
Betting on a tournament winner: Opportunities to bet on a tournament winner are usually available months in advance of the most prestigious tennis tournament.
The ante-post odds on offer can be quite high, allowing punters to back multiple players, thereby increasing their chances of generating a payout from these bets. With most UK sportsbooks offering free tennis bets – you have to take full advantage.
