Similar to other sports, betting on tennis has a number of bet types that stand out. Below is an overview of those most popular when betting on tennis.
Match winner is by far one of the best options when betting on tennis. This type of bet is easy to understand as you are betting on who will win the match. If the player you selected wins the match, you win – that simple.
Set betting is another fairly straightforward bet in tennis whereby you are placing a bet on who you think will win a set. As tennis consists of multiple sets per match, this is a great option for live betting enthusiasts.
An Over/Under bet in tennis is not unlike any other over/under bet. However, when placing an over/under bet in tennis, you are not betting on the total score, but you are betting on the number of games in a match. The goal is to predict which player wins the most games, if correct, you win.
An Outrights bet is one that doesn’t involve betting on a player to win a match but betting on which player will win a tournament. This type of bet does come with an increased risk, but it is great for punting on long shots.
