Andy Murray Tennis Betting
Millions of tennis and sports betting fans around the world watched the Australian Open final on Sunday, where Roger Federer beat Andy Murray in straight sets (6-3, 6-4, 7-6) to notch up his sixteenth Grand Slam title. Andy was hoping to become the first male British player to win a Grand Slam event in 74 years, but the bookmakers had the result pegged correctly right from the start, and those who had bet on Federer never really had much to worry about. However, Andy put in a strong performance against the world number one and the bookies are now offering a range of Andy Murray tennis betting markets that allow bettors to try and predict how well – or otherwise – the Scottish player will fare in the coming months.
One market allows you to bet on whether you think Andy Murray will be able to win a Grand Slam title in 2010. Over at the William Hill Sportsbook you can get odds of 4/9 if you think that he won’t win a Grand Slam this year, or odds of 13/8 if you think that he will. The same odds are also available at the Paddy Power sports betting site, but there is another Paddy Power market that is slightly different and requires you to predict how many Grand Slam titles Andy will win in 2010. The odds are 4/9 for None, 7/4 for Exactly 1, 12/1 for Exactly 2 and 125/1 for Exactly 3.
Back at William Hill, you can also bet on the stage at which Andy Murray will be eliminated from the Wimbledon 2010 tournament. The odds are 14/1 for Round 1. 14/1 for Round 2, 8/1 for Round 3, 13/2 for Round 4, 9/2 for the Quarter Final or 9/4 for the Semi Final. You can get odds of 4/1 if you think that Murray will be the Wimbledon 2010 Runner Up, and 3/1 if you think that he will actually win the tournament.
Tennis fans who are interested in betting on Andy Murray’s performance in the Masters 1000 Series can bet on how many Masters 1000 Series events he will win in 2010. Andy needs to participate in at least four Masters 1000 Series events for bets in this market to stand, and the odds are 15/8 for Exactly 1, 5/2 for None, 5/2 for Exactly 2, 9/2 for Exactly 3 and 12/1 for Four or More.
It would have been nice to present you with news of an Andy Murray Australian Open win, but Roger Federer is widely regarded as the best professional tennis player in history, so Murray had his work cut out for him from the outset. The good news is that there will be plenty more opportunities for Andy Murray to make his mark in 2010, and that gives sports betting fans just as many opportunities to try and place a winning bet. Visit Paddy Power and William Hill today to take a look at the complete range of tennis betting markets currently available and to take advantage of whatever early prices appeal to you.
