Tennis Betting

When some people think of tennis betting, they think of Wimbledon, strawberries and cream, and popular tennis players such as Federer, Nadal and Murray. Others simply think of the wonderful simplicity of the game which makes tennis betting both a pleasure and a delight. Consider this:

  • Putting doubles to one side, tennis is primarily an individual sport. This means that, as in golf betting, the bettor doesn’t have to worry about assessing matters such as team dynamics or managerial decisions as he would in soccer or cricket

Latest Tennis Betting Tips

  • Tennis is played professionally all year round, both indoors and outdoors. This gives the bettor plenty of action. In fact, there’s so much tennis played each year that a bettor could easily choose to specialise in the game exclusively.
  • Most major games can be watched live on TV, and statistical information and commentary about previous matches is readily available from a number of sources.
  • Although one obviously has to be aware of injuries and fitness issues, form in tennis is generally a very good guide to future performance. This means that when a good player is on a roll, a bettor can usually make money for as long as the roll continues, simply by betting on them to win.

As well as the obvious outright result of a match or tournament, it is also possible to bet on a wide variety of other variables, including the number of sets each player will win, the number of aces scored, how long a match will last and even the number of delays that will be caused by inclement weather!

Tennis Betting in Early Rounds

Predicting the winners in the early stages of a tennis tournament is usually quite easy, and a good way to win money to fund more serious tennis bets later on. One idea is to select the players seeded 1 to 10 and place a level stake on each of them (as long as they aren’t playing one another!). If all ten top seeds survive the first round, you’ve just landed ten winners! Or, if you’re daring, put them all in a small-stake accumulator.

One UK bettor did this with seventeen players at Wimbledon a couple of years ago and enjoyed a four-figure return for a £10 outlay. Not bad for an hour’s work!
