Tennis
Is tennis bookmaker suitable for beginners?
Tennis is appealing because of the heated, fast-paced gameplay. It is a sport that attracts particular attention during tournaments, even from bookmakers that offer live betting. The heat is especially intense at Wimbledon, a renowned prestigious tournament.
Besides Wimbledon, there are other tennis tournaments such as the Australian Open, French Open, and US Open, but the results can vary greatly depending on the type of court, so it is important to have some basic information about each tournament.
Tennis is an individual sport, so you might think it's easier to predict than team sports, but just looking at the fluctuations in the world rankings, it's not hard to imagine that there are many unexpected developments. However, compared to team sports, the information you need to look at is more limited, so although it's not easy, it may be said that it's easy to get started.
The main types of tennis betting
There are many different types of tennis sports betting, but we will introduce some of the most straightforward ones.
- Match Winner (Moneyline)
- It's a very simple way to bet, as you just have to predict who will win.
If you bet on a strong player with low odds, you will of course have a higher chance of winning, but you will still lose sometimes, so it's a good idea to gather enough information to convince yourself. - Set Betting
- The number of sets in tennis matches varies depending on the tournament rules and gender. When betting on set winners, you bet on "which set will be won by which player."
The outcome of the entire match is irrelevant, but the bet is on "the outcome of the xth set."
If you have information on players who start quickly or slowly, you can gain a strategic advantage. - Over/Under Total Games
- This is a bet where you predict whether the total number of games in the entire match will be more or less than a set number. Who wins the match has no effect on the outcome of the bet.
The more closely matched the players are, with more deuces, the more games there will be. Understanding the playing style of the players is the key to winning. - Handicap Betting
- If the difference in skill is too large, the odds will be low and there will be no point in betting, so consider using a handicap.
Predict how many games there will be at the end of the match. If the handicap is "-3.5", you will need a difference of 4 games or more to win. - In-Play Betting
- Unlike regular sports betting, where registration is closed before the start of the game, the biggest feature of live betting is that it takes place during the game. The bets and odds change as the game progresses, so you need to be more careful than other bets.
Live betting is the only way to make predictions while enjoying the excitement of the game.
Is tennis really hard to lose?
Sports bookmakers sometimes say that tennis is "hard to lose," but to put it bluntly, it is a gambling game, so "when you lose, you lose." If you take that statement at face value and become careless, you will suffer.
There is certainly a reason why tennis is said to be easy to predict.
First of all, there are no draws, so you can play with two options. Although the probability of a draw is low in other sports, it is mentally easier not to have to take that possibility into consideration.
And since it is an individual sport, you can think of "ranking = the strength of that player," so it is easy to judge which player is stronger. Although it depends on the conditions on the day, the basic strength does not change very often.
Also, in so-called "winnable matches" for top players, the odds can be extremely low, so if you only play matches that are hard to lose, you will experience the dilemma of not being able to make money. It is important to make good use of handicaps and other factors to create a strategy.
