Tennis is a spectacular and popular sport among fans. It attracts viewers with simple and understandable rules, as well as the unpredictability of the result. Tennis competitions are held in doubles and singles. Women and men take part in them. Tournaments are often held in which mixed pairs participate.
A match can last up to 5 hours, remaining spectacular and entertaining the entire time. The peculiarity of tennis competitions is that there is no draw result. It is not surprising that sports betting enthusiasts often choose tennis tournaments.
Features of tennis betting
Betting on tennis matches is based on excitement. You can predict the result at any time. As a result, the user wins if he guesses correctly or loses if not.
The advantages are:
- events on the court develop very quickly;
- the situation and favorites change at a kaleidoscopic speed;
- there is a lot of information on the Internet about each tennis player;
- the game is played without time limits until victory in 3 or 5 sets;
- several competitions take place during one game day.
You can watch fights and place bets on sports on the Internet. Bookmakers in India accept them around the clock and offer several options for expected results.
You can play on events that will take place shortly, in other words, in the prematch and real-time during the competition. Bookmakers also accept so called long-term bets on events that will happen within a month or six months.
Prematch odds are fixed. The bet must be placed before the start of the competition. Users place live bets during the match, taking into account situational changes. The number of predicted results is less than in the prematch, and the odds decrease or increase depending on what is happening on the court.
Popular types of bets
As a rule, bookmakers in India offer several types of them. The simplest and, therefore, most common type is betting on the outcome of the competition. Athlete 1 or 2 will win. The odds for any of the matches and different versions of the result are published by the best bookmakers.
Popular types include the following:
- total (number of conventional game units). Players bet on specific indicators of events. This could be the number of sets, games, points;
- handicap: on how convincingly the favorite will win. In this case, they bet on the victory of one of the tennis players, but on the difference in the score or the loss of the leader. In this case, bets are concluded with higher odds. They also bet on the number of games that the outsider will win. Handicaps are also accepted for sets. The point is to anticipate the net advantage of one tennis player over another;
- tiebreaker: on the possibility of a score in favor of one of the tennis players 7:6. The chances of a tiebreaker increase if athletes hold the first serve confidently. The odds depend on the style of the athletes and the match;
- on statistics: on double faults, aces (breakout serves), breakpoints, and percentage of first-serve hits.
Betting on the exact score of a game or fight is considered less popular due to the high risk.
In the long term, bookmakers offer tennis betting lines on possible winners, the number of matches in Grand Slams, the maximum serve speed, or how many tennis players will retire during the course of a tournament.
When betting, it is worth carefully analyzing the information and objectively assessing the capabilities and skills of the athletes. And, of course, we must remember that you should bet as much money as you can afford to lose.
