Type of Bets
There are various types of tennis bets generally available. While the ones we will list below are some of the most common, sportsbooks can make available additional bets or opt not to make some of the following available.
Outright Winner Bet
You bet on who you think will win a competition. Whilst the fields in tennis competitions are large, the likely victors tend to be easier to predict as it is rare for a long-shot outsider to win a tournament, particularly a grand slam event.
For example, only four different players have won a men’s grand slam title in the last nineteen tournaments (Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Juan Martin del Potro and Novak Djokovic).
Each Way Bet
This consists of two bets – one for a player to win a tournament and one for them to finish in a ‘place’ (typically the first two or first four). You receive a percentage (typically ¼ or 1/5) of the odds if your chosen player finishes in a ‘place’.
Match Bets
You bet on who you think will win a specific tennis match. In-running betting is often available online (particularly on live major events) and so punters can place wagers on specific aspects of the match having weighed up the form and seen how the match is unfolding.
Special Bets
Bookmakers offer innovative and imaginative bets in addition to these common markets. These can vary from odds on the nationality of a tournament winner, the number of games in a specific match, the outcome of a tie-break (in-running) or even which of two opponents will serve more aces than the other.
