Tennis. How to place bets

Tennis betting strategy different from betting strategies for team sports. It is believed that the outcome of a tennis match is easier to predict than the outcome of football or hockey.

The main advantage of tennis for bettors is the almost continuous season. Tournaments take place on different continents regardless of the season. There are a lot of techniques and developments on the Internet that, according to their authors, allow you to gain an advantage over the bookmaker. But not all of them are so promising, so it is important for the bettor to understand which tennis strategy to pay attention to and which to ignore.

Live tennis betting

Players prefer to place bets live. This is the attractiveness of tennis - at any moment several tennis matches are being played and there is always something to bet on live. Plus, the bookmaker opens additional markets live to attract new customers.

Before the event starts, the line is balanced - it’s difficult to find a worthwhile odds. Tennis is very dynamic, so in live there are often imbalances that are interesting for the bettor. To find valuable odds and inconsistencies, certain methods have been developed for profitable tennis betting.

Win-win strategies

Break in the game;
“40-40” - yes/no;
Draws in the game;
Totals and handicaps;
Comeback of the favorite in the set;
Even/odd;

A tennis player who confidently holds someone else's serve is a good option for betting on a break in the game. You can understand what form a player is in after two or three plays. If everything is in order with our master of the technique, why not bet on his break? In confrontations between equal opponents, long rallies with break points often occur. The odds for the beginning of the game on the “40-40 - Yes” market fluctuate in the range of 2.50 - 3.60 - a favorable position for betting.

How to bet on tennis using strategies

An almost win-win betting strategy would be a tennis match where there is a clear outsider. Then the game score rarely reaches 40-40 - an excellent option for entering the “40-40 - No” market.

Fans of catching up bet on the draws in the game. Repeating the selected outcome in each draw is quite simple, and the odds are often quite good.

Live strategy for totals and handicaps in tennis stand apart. The draws of top tennis players last up to 13 games in the first set. In confrontations between athletes of different classes, the total rarely reaches more than 10.5.

Equal opponents rarely give up a set with an advantage of more than two games. In matches where the favorite plays an outsider, minus handicaps in sets and games work well.

Super tennis strategies include the favorite's comeback in a set. The leaders let the middle players go during the set, and then confidently catch up with them and win. It is important to distinguish the slight imposing behavior of a tennis player from the top 20 rankings from truly weak form.

The percentage of matches with an even total is approximately 75%. Experienced bettors skillfully handle live statistics, which allows them to place bets on even/odd markets.

Profitable pre-match strategies in tennis

Totals for the main outcome;
Handicap by sets;
Accurate score.

Pre-match analysis is sufficient to determine the likely total of a tennis match. Matches with an obvious favorite rarely break through the classic total of 20.5 games. The total is higher in games of equal opponents - a sure bet, which is used by experienced bettors.

The fights of top athletes are characterized by persistent fighting and the maximum number of sets and games. Set handicap (+1.5) is suitable for matches of equal opponents, minus handicap is suitable for a “favorite vs underdog” game.

The strategy of betting on the exact score of a tennis match attracts with high odds. Determining the probability of an accurate score in tennis is easier than in team sports. In confrontations between tennis players of different classes, the popular outcome is “2-0”.

The best tennis betting strategy for beginners

Pre-match betting is a good type of bet on tennis matches. It’s easy for an inexperienced bettor to quickly find their way around the live game, so it is recommended to first practice their skills in the pre-match.

Many methods advise scrupulously following specific players or tournaments so that, having become an expert in a certain segment, you can beat the bookmaker in a narrow area. From season to season, the bettor “guides” his athlete, knowing his characteristics, physical readiness, favorite and least favorite opponents, preferred surfaces, peaks of form, injuries, downs and ups.

Tennis is one of the most popular and spectacular sports in the world. Particular attention is paid to it among bookmaker betters. Tennis betting is one of the ways to increase your capital. Of course, this type of earnings is not the easiest, but having gained theoretical knowledge, analyzed the experience of other experienced players, sorted this mess into pieces and put in a dose of effort, even a novice bettor can count on a good profit. In this article, you will learn how to bet on tennis, including theory, strategies and features. In the 15 minutes spent reading this article, each of you will increase your own chances of a successful outcome in a bet with a bookmaker.

Before diving headlong into the abyss of tennis, let's understand the general theory of betting on a game with a racket. There are three types of tennis bets: single bets (single bets), express bets and systems. In order for the single to be winning, you need to guess the outcome of just one event. This is the most common type of bet. It is better for inexperienced betters to play singles until they get their hands on winning matches.

For successful express bets, you will have to put in more effort. After all, it is necessary to predict from two outcomes, unrelated events. Mistakes are not allowed here. A coupon line for beginners should initially contain only two positions to minimize risks. The increase in points in the coupon should be done gradually. The reward for a successful express bet is much more tangible than for an ordinary bet - the odds of all events in the express bet are multiplied. Beginners often neglect the ordinary in order to quickly hit the jackpot with a small budget, not realizing the importance of statistics, analytics and clear forecasting.

The system is similar to express, but is safer for the player. In this type of transaction between the player and the bookmaker, a certain number of errors are allowed, provided for by the choice of the system itself. For example, in the 2 out of 3 system, if one incorrectly specified outcome occurs, the odds of two winning events are multiplied, and the player receives a payout as for an express of two events. In the case of three correct positions, the winnings will take the form of three double express bets, where all odds are multiplied in pairs.

A bet on a particular player winning the match is the most common bet choice on a tennis match. Betting on totals and handicaps are also popular. Total – the limit on the total number of games or sets that will be played in the competition. Here you need to indicate whether the indicator will be higher or lower than the bar set by the bookmaker.

Handicap (handicap) equalizes the chances of athletes whose class initially differs. The handicap also makes it possible to make a big profit on the victory of the favorite, the odds of which were initially underestimated by the bookmaker. There are also less common bets on the number of aces, double faults, and first serve winning percentage. At especially large tournaments, you can even bet on whether a player will break his racket during a match or not. And during Wimbledon, you can find a proposal on the line asking whether all matches of the match day will be canceled due to rain.

Tennis betting strategy

The experience of many betters has allowed modern betting players to create entire systems of strategies not only to win, but also to always have insurance in case of unforeseen and incredible match results. Let's look at the most popular of them.

Betting strategy on the favorite with increased odds

Most often, on a clear favorite in a game, the bookmaker lowers the bets to the minimum (for example, 1.2 or 1.06). Few people want to take risks for 20% or 6%. But even fewer know that after the start of the game the odds can be increased while the likely leader is simply being played out. Having lost a couple of points, the bookmaker automatically increases the bet on him. Therefore, the strategy is designed for live bets. The odds can increase even more when the favorite loses the first set. The main thing is to catch the moment when the odds increase.

Lineout tennis betting strategy

The lineout strategy is used not only in tennis. This system originated from basketball. But cappers enthusiasts have extended the strategy to other sports, taking into account the specifics, of course. The meaning of the “corridor” is that we place bets on two outcomes, and the goal is to insure ourselves, the result is that we win in any outcome. Most likely, you will have to register with several bookmakers in order to be able to compare odds and place bets on one event with opposite outcomes of the game. Let's take totals, for example. We bet on the total over in one coupon, and on the total under in the other. The amount of one transaction should not exceed the probable winnings, otherwise the unplayed bet will simply “eat up” our profit. The minimum coefficient is 2.01.

Fork strategy

Another strategy with insurance is the “arb” system. Here, too, you need to bet on opposite outcomes, but the correct calculation of the coupon amount is simply mandatory. As a result, the profit of any coupon must cover both bets. This strategy is suitable for bets where both teams have odds of at least 1.75. For a smaller odds we bet a larger amount, for a larger odds we bet a smaller amount. Example, two odds for different teams in two bookmakers are 1.75 and 2.6. We bet on the smaller one - 500 rubles, and on the larger one - 300. Spending - 500 rubles. If the first deal plays out, our profit will be 25 rubles, if the second - 280. A win-win strategy in tennis betting.

Features of tennis betting: what to look for

In any sport, before placing a bet on a particular team, you should study in detail the latest statistics on the opponents. In tennis, you need to additionally find information on a future event that can affect the main outcome of the game. It is important to pay attention to:

Type of coverage. There are four main surfaces in tennis - hard, grass, clay, carpet. Some players are all-rounders, but there are also quite a few unsuited tennis players. Fans of clay courts and long rallies perform weakly on hard courts and grass, and athletes who prefer fast rallies are very vulnerable on slow courts.

Current form. Quite often, mediocre players who are in good shape win victories over their more stellar colleagues. It is necessary to navigate what tone a particular participant in the competition is in. Injuries also affect your physical condition. Usually, in the first fights after rehabilitation, athletes show a level of play significantly below their capabilities.

Motivation. Tennis players are not always determined to achieve maximum results. A huge number of competitions during the season takes a lot of energy and somewhere the players take care of themselves, not giving it their all. The exception is Grand Slam tournaments, where the fight is always fierce and exhausting. To have an idea of the motivation for a particular tournament, you need to study the history of performances at these competitions in past years. Reading interviews with tennis players and posts on social media pages will also help.

Personal meetings. In no other sport do head-to-head matches play such an important role as in tennis. Even top athletes may have opponents with significantly lower ratings, against whom it is inconvenient to play. When analyzing head-to-head matches, it is necessary to take into account the type of coverage and motivation for the tournament where the match took place.

Game style and personal details. The manner of play depends to a large extent on anthropometric parameters and is established at the beginning of a career. An important role is played by the athlete’s personal data – age, working hand.

The chances of success will increase significantly if you thoroughly study and take into account all of the above factors.

Live tennis betting

Live tennis betting is an opportunity to place bets while playing. At the same time, the bettor receives some advantage, because it is much easier to assess the situation and make a choice based on what he sees. With the help of live bets, you can make a safety net against the initial bet on the fight if the current development of events does not coincide with the expected one. Making deals with a bookmaker in the real game mode gives the bettor the opportunity to bet on the favorite of the match at a significantly higher odds if he loses the game at the beginning of the set or the first set.

Tennis betting on games

Game betting is one of the types of live betting. There are many ways to bet on games, but the two most effective are the following:

Bets on the host to win the game. Often, a player who loses during a set saves his energy for the second or decisive game and does not give his best on his serve, allowing his opponent to make breaks. The break ratio is always high. It is only important to recognize the moment in the game when one of the players simply quits playing.

Bets on the score 40-40 in the game. The odds for such an outcome are usually about 3. Such a score in a game often happens when an outsider serves. But you need to approach the choice of a fight for playing according to such a system wisely. It is necessary to choose matches where there is an underdog, who does not serve very well, and a favorite, who is good at returning.

Set betting: secrets

When betting on sets, you can use two tactics. In both cases, the bet is on the favorite to win the second set. Only the conclusions that are taken as the basis for transactions differ. First, the favorite very rarely loses with a score of 0-2. In a situation where a stronger athlete lost the first set, the odds for his victory in the second game will be quite high and will bring profit in the long run. Secondly, most matches end with a score of 2-0. If the favorite won the first set, demonstrating a good level of play, then, most likely, the second will also remain with him. If the odds for winning a game are low, you can bet on a negative handicap.

In order to place a bet on tennis online on the bookmaker’s website, you need to decide on the bookmaker itself. We recommend placing bets on officially registered bookmaker sites, such as, and others (the entire list of licensed bookmakers is presented on our website). All bookmakers registered with TsUPIS provide a guarantee.

After registering with the bookmaker, we add money to your account balance. Select the “Tennis” section of the tournament within which the match of interest will take place. A simple click on the required outcome odds immediately fills the betting coupon with positions. A coupon is usually displayed in the upper right corner of the site, in which you only need to enter the bet amount and confirm your decision.

Let's summarize. Tennis betting has its own characteristics, but, nevertheless, it does not complicate the process of making a bet with a bookmaker. In some ways, tennis statistics are easier to analyze, but in others they simply require attention. It’s possible to make money on a tennis bet; the main thing is to think with your head and not give in to the desire to win a lot at once.

Happy trading, gentlemen!

How to bet on tennis in BC

Happy trading, gentlemen!

In this material I propose to talk about betting on tennis. All bookmakers offer a line for tennis; tennis is loved by many players, and, probably, after football, it is the most popular type of bet. There is an opinion among beginners that this is the best type of bet; there is a lot of material on the Internet that confirms this idea. Let me disagree with most of the materials that are available on the RuNet.

So, let's probably start with the main trends about advantage in tennis, which are particularly common.

4. There are only two outcomes, there is no draw, which gives an advantage with the same football.

Let's now look at each statement in more detail, and I will try, if not to refute, then at least to thicken the clouds and add reality to these trends.

1. Matches are played daily. At least 3 tournaments take place every week. The volume of bets is larger, and accordingly the profit increases.

Yes, you can really play tennis almost all year round. But, the tennis season lasts from January to November. The rest of the time is taken up only by exhibition matches and minor challenges for third- and fourth-tier players. Not all bookmakers favor such tournaments; the maximums are often limited for them, as there is a high probability of insider interference. It is at this level that quiet agreements and kickbacks are often carried out. If you have such information, then it really makes sense to study; if not, then there is a danger of wasting time at best, and losses at worst. We talked about challenges in the off-season, now we are returning to the season. The season starts in the first ten days of January, and in fact with the Australian Open. The specificity of this tournament, beloved by many tennis players, is that the season has not really begun and the form of the participants remains a mystery, including for the tennis players themselves. It is also worth taking into account the incredible heat, so AO-09 was remembered for a large number of failures during the game due to heat stroke. After the AO, tennis players enter a normal season. In the fall, a treacherous time begins, because in fact, after the last US-OPEN Grand Slam tournament, many tennis players are solving their local problems. There are few mandatory tournaments, places in the final eight of the season are practically filled, and the motivation of many athletes is anyone's guess. Thus, the Asian tour in September-October is akin to Russian roulette, and very often blurs the results of an active summer, saving bookmakers from losses. So, in fact, we do not have normal betting opportunities on tennis all year round.

2. The outcome of the match depends on two players, and not on twenty-two, as, for example, in football.

On the one hand, this is an obvious advantage. This is why tennis is attractive to many. It is enough to sort out the pair and choose one athlete, taking into account the characteristics of only the two of them. This is convenient, but not everything is so simple, there are also pitfalls. The first thing that comes to mind is the ease of contract play. Since there are only two participants, it is easier to get the “correct result”. There have been so many scandals about this already. Labadze and Davydenko are the main classic characters, but there are also at least a couple dozen “gray” athletes. Moreover, interestingly, agreements do not occur only at commercial tournaments. Thus, there was a fresh scandal at Wimbledon in the Meltzer-Odesnik pair, the latter was accused of leaking the game. The question has not yet been closed. Recently, Istomin was accused of giving up the game, and in a row at two tournaments within two calendar weeks, which especially outraged the bookmakers - the list goes on. Here, however, it is worth noting that the probability of passing the game is much higher for men, and the WTA tour is cleaner from this point of view. There is an opinion that leaks and calculations in the game can come from female athletes, where the father is the coach, and he can already implement his manly games through an obedient daughter, but no facts of this kind have been noticed in the media. Although it is obvious that there is enough behind-the-scenes tennis, and bits of it are available to the public. Bookmakers themselves note suspicious matches every week, strange movement of lines or a large flow of bets on some unremarkable match. If, based on the fact that you do not have such insider information, then you can suffer financially by falling under the distribution or scam of a syndicate, and sometimes a bookmaker. If the information channel is available to you, then it’s a completely different matter, and you don’t have to read this material further. Another feature is injuries to players during the game. Here the behavior of various bookmakers is divided, some give a loss, others give a technical defeat, but this, in any case, is an important nuance that simply must be taken into account before placing a bet.

3. The impact of referee errors on the outcome of matches is minimized, unlike other sports.

Yes, in football and hockey, for example, the cost of a referee’s mistake is more significant. No one will bribe a referee in tennis; there is simply no need for this. There are too many plays for the final victory. But this is sport, everyone makes mistakes, including the judges. The speed of the ball reaches 200 km, it is difficult to follow such dynamics. But there are stubborn matches where every play is worth its weight in gold, and as soon as the referee sees or does not see an out, it can affect the outcome not in our favor. This doesn't happen as often as in other sports, but it still happens.

4. There are only two outcomes, there is no draw, which gives an advantage, for example, with the same football.

At first glance, everything is really so. There are no draws, but there are a lot of events that are uneven along the line. Not many people play Federer for 1.01 or Sharapova for 1.1. They are forced to risk playing a handicap on games. For example, (-6.5) on Sharapova. This is a higher coefficient, but also additional risks. Sharapova calmly beat herself 6-3 6-3, and you lost due to the handicap. Roughly speaking, a handicap is the same barrier as a draw in football. These are your risks when playing the favorite for a higher odds or insurance when you play the underdog with some positive handicap. It’s another matter if you play without handicaps, then you have the same advantage over football, but the number of events for the game will most likely decrease significantly.

5. In tennis, it is convenient and profitable to bet live.

Everything seems to be correct, it’s hard to argue, but I’ll try. A tennis match most often has a sinusoidal character. It is rare when one player plays a match at the same level, without declines. Therefore, playing live in tennis is very similar to trading on the stock exchange, when it is important not to oversleep the moment to place a bet. For this strategy, it is important to watch the fight live and be able to predict the nature of the match. According to my observations, only a few can do this well in a long game. It is bad and dangerous to play live without broadcasting. This is a blind game, even with a tournament website and detailed match statistics. Having dealt with the myths, I would like to add a few more nuances. There are treacherous periods throughout the season that are worth mentioning. I have already spoken about the early start of AO, but we should not forget about the transition of tennis players from hard to clay. For tennis players, this adaptation takes place in different ways and it is difficult to know for sure in what form this or that athlete is. This requires time and intermediate results. After Rolland Garros there is a sharp transition to grass. Tennis players have a short time - they have only two weeks to prepare for the prestigious Wimbledon. This is very little, considering how specific the grass surface is. That's why there are so many sensations at Wimbledon. I mentioned the autumn part earlier, I won’t repeat it. Let's also add a pairing aspect here. After all, many single tennis players play in parallel and in pairs, who knows how much this or that tennis player has given his best. This needs to be monitored if you approach the matter professionally. Not easy? This is what we are talking about.

There are subtle points not only about the surfaces, but also about the courts of individual tournaments. For example, the central hard court in Dubai is faster than all the others. In Stuttgart, on clay, the court boundary strip is metal and when the ball hits it, it can change its trajectory. In Rolland Garros, when strong winds blow away fine ground, changing its characteristics as the game progresses. Andy Murray complained about this, for example. In Atlanta the hard court is slow, and in Indian Wells there is traditionally strong wind and all this can affect and, what is important, affects the result. You may not take such little things into account, but the little things make up the overall result, right?!

The main question that needs to be determined when making a tennis forecast is the athlete’s motivation. We need to collect as much information as possible about each tennis player. Some tennis players have favorite tournaments where they are more motivated than usual. Others have their favorite and least favorite coatings. For example, the until recently little-known Frenchman Mahut (this is the guy who staged a three-day, 9-hour thriller at Wimbledon with Isner this year) loves grass, and especially the preparatory tournament in London “Queens”; he has been doing just that all season , which merges, but performs well on the grass, and is a very unpleasant opponent. Slovak tennis player Hantukova loves the tournament in Monte Carlo because it is close to her home, and there is no need to stay in a hotel, there are many similar examples, each tennis player has individual preferences, and it is advisable to take this into account. Let's not forget about personal and family life. One of my acquaintances generally kept records of the monthly periods of leading tennis players; I don’t know where he got such information from, but his method brought results over a long period of time. Another important point is that competitions on the eve of the Grand Slam tournaments, for some athletes it is an intensification of activity, but for the majority it is only preparation for the main event. You need to navigate and know this type of tennis player. It is also worth mentioning about paired Masters, it is rare that an athlete will give his all in both tournaments, and here, the Masters going first is much more insidious, because you must definitely know about the priority of the tennis player.

There are more than two hundred players on the men’s tour, and the same number on the women’s tour – quite a few. And many of them need to be kept in mind, and not only the sports component and statistics, special programs can also help here, you need to know more about their lives in general. In my opinion, there is no smell of simplicity here. Tennis has become extremely difficult to predict. Tennis players save their energy - the season is long and they need to take care of themselves. Mandatory tournaments only contribute to skewed results, because sometimes a player comes simply to serve a number, so as not to receive penalty points from the association. And how many nuances are there during the game itself?! Change of weather - it started to rain or the wind increased, changing the characteristics of the soil. Changes in the player’s mood during the match, stopping the game with a finish the next day at Grand Slam tournaments, injuries during the game and a forced medical pause that can change the nature of the fight, etc. There are incredibly many nuances and subtleties.

In conclusion, I would like to say that tennis is suitable for betting, just like almost any sport. But it is far from being as easy and simple to predict as many people think, and as is often said. Tennis is difficult (I think impossible) to combine well with other sports. It is unlikely that you will succeed. This is a sport that needs to be practiced separately. Studying players on and off the court, developing a methodology for your bets, a strategy for different unequal periods of the season, etc. Tennis is far from simple in reality, but rather insidious, so you should think about whether you are ready to work so seriously in this direction to achieve success. The masses of players think differently, which is probably why bookmakers are getting richer every year. I hope that this material will help break the current trend.

Many players have repeatedly turned their attention to tennis, while some of them have moved away from betting on football, volleyball, basketball, etc. sports and switched to tennis. This is due to many factors:
– starting from the absence of such an outcome as a draw;
– year-round season, because in addition to the 4 main tournaments, tennis players of the first magnitude also take part in various Masters tournaments;
– presence of a position in the world ranking;
– and ending with minimizing elements of chance, such as a goal at the end of the match, refereeing errors and other things.
What should you know to ensure that your bets on tennis matches bring you winnings?

Coverage factor and seasonality.
Let’s discard various myths and immediately move on to the points that in the future will be key factors for the successful outcome of the tennis forecast. As you know, the tennis season starts in January on the green continent. Many leading tennis players are slow to get into shape and do not always play at full strength during this period.

The court surface itself plays a huge role for many tennis players. Some athletes feel confident on clay, while others prefer hard. Based on this, the transition from one surface to another occurs differently for all tennis players. This is understandable, because it is not easy to adapt from Rolland Garros, for example, to the grass at Wimbledon, and the two weeks provided for adaptation here are not enough for many athletes. This is one of the reasons why there are so many sensations at Wimbledon. And athletes have to deal with such short transitions from one surface to another very often.

The type of surface affects the players the most towards the end of the season, when physical fatigue appears, and injuries can also make themselves known. Another important factor here will be the overall physical fitness of the player, how durable he is, how much he gave his best and in what shape he came to the end of the season. But it will be difficult to determine this just at a glance; the important thing here is to track all the latest fights and record intermediate results. Thus, it should be understood that the season goes through uneven parts: in some matches the opponents can be very active, and in others, on the contrary, they play half-heartedly. Accordingly, a decline in the game may occur at any time.

In such cases, bookmakers adjust their line, or rather the odds, but the adjustments are not so large as to determine all trends by observing the movement of quotes. Thus, inflated quotes for the victory of a clear favorite in the off season do not mean a high probability of his loss, but are a signal to search for maximum information on the upcoming match with its further analysis. All this needs to be taken into account in your tennis forecast.

There is an unspoken rule in tennis betting: at large tournaments it is customary to bet on TOP tennis players, in contrast to commercial tournaments held on the eve of or immediately after the completion of Grand Slam tournaments, where experienced bettors try not to bet on obvious favorites and direct their predictions and tennis bets on “dark horses”.

Coverage features and weather conditions.
When placing a bet on tennis, you should not underestimate the factor of the surface of the courts themselves; there are a number of nuances here that cannot be ignored.
Many have already repeatedly read and know about the three types of court surfaces and the fact that some tennis players love, for example, hard, and others grass, and accordingly they may not show particularly good results on the “unloved” surface. But, there are other features directly related to tennis betting, which you can only learn about if you approach this issue professionally.

The hard court in Dubai, known to many, is one of the fastest courts; the boundaries of the grass court in Stuttgart have a metal belt, when the ball hits it, it changes its flight path. The courts at the US Open are much slower in rainy weather than on a clear, sunny day. As a rule, strong winds blow in Indian Wells, while the hard course in Atlanta, on the contrary, is characterized by very slow winds. The prestigious Rolland Garros tournament also has a characteristic feature: with increased wind, the fine ground changes here, which can lead to a radical change in the pattern of the game.

When preparing to forecast and bet on tennis, you need to understand that the weather also makes adjustments to the mood of the tennis players themselves; due to bad weather, matches may be postponed and the player will be forced to wait for an indefinite amount of time. As for the surface, tennis players who play on hard courts feel better in hot weather, but in cold weather, clay courts show good results. At the Rolland Garros clay tournaments, the situation changes dramatically: strong athletes show excellent play in wet weather, this is considered unusual for them, since their “strong point” is hard. Therefore, it will be quite problematic to predict and predict the game of a particular tennis player in advance without taking into account weather conditions.

Tennis player motivation.
Another aspect that many bettors underestimate is the athlete’s motivation. Before betting on a tennis match, you need to work very hard here, since information about tennis players’ fees for a particular match or tournament is not published on all posters and simple websites about tennis.

Motivation should not be attributed only to the financial side. Tennis players, like all people, have their strengths and weaknesses, this includes their favorite and least favorite surfaces, tournaments, and weather conditions. For example, the well-known Hantukova (tennis player from Slovakia) loves the tournament in Monte Carlo, and this is not surprising, because the athlete lives in this area, which means she does not need to undergo adaptation, come to the tournament in advance and stay in a hotel. There are a lot of such examples, but we should not forget about the private life of an individual athlete.

We should not forget about the Masters category tournament, since tennis players often do not give their all at two tournaments at the same time, but determine for themselves the highest priority.

It should be understood that there are a total of more than 500 competing tennis players and female tennis players, and it is quite clear that it is impossible to keep even the minimum amount of information about each athlete in your head. Therefore, all statistics, analytics and every tennis bet made must be recorded. To do this, you can independently develop your own form where this information will be entered, for example, in Excel, or use ready-made special programs that you can easily find on the Internet. Such programs do not guarantee winnings, but they increase the chances and simplify pre-match analysis; in addition, they can be modernized and modified to suit your needs. Start with a simple Excel file and over time it will become an indispensable tool when making a tennis forecast, and it will also save you a lot of time in the long run.

There are also situations when athletes come to a tournament to simply “serve their number” and avoid penalty points. But even such situations can be predicted with time and experience. Changes in mood, injuries and the same weather, which can change during the game - all these factors can also affect the nature of the athlete’s game.

Athlete form and rating.
Many bettors overestimate the world ranking in tennis. In reality, a tennis player’s position in the world ranking does not provide clear and convincing information. Despite this, the Rating allows you to determine who this or that tennis player is or will be playing against. It is quite clear that a representative of the TOP 100 has less chance of beating a tennis player from the TOP 10, but in this case, an outsider should not be underestimated, based on his rating in the top 100. It is necessary to take into account all the factors described by us, and the physical readiness and mood of the tennis player with which he approaches the tournament.

In this respect, betting on tennis differs significantly from betting on football, and there are plenty of examples of micro-sensations here. Let us recall only the last most memorable matches of Wimbledon 2014: Russian tennis player Andrey Kuznetsov, ranked 118th in the ranking, beat Spaniard David Ferrer, ranked 7th in the ranking, and Ukrainian Sergei Stakhovsky (90th in the ranking) sent home the sensational at the 2014 Roland Garros tournament by Ernests Gulbis. At the same French Open 2014, Stan Warvinka, one of the Top 3, sensationally dropped out of the tournament in the first round, losing the opening match to Spaniard Guillermo Garcia-Lopez (No. 41). And there are a lot of such examples, so focusing tennis bets solely on a tennis player’s rating will inevitably lead to collapse.

Personal meetings.
Tennis is exactly the sport where the history of head-to-head confrontations works most effectively. Based on head-to-head confrontations in tennis, one can most likely draw conclusions about the principles of the fight and the dynamics of its development. When preparing to bet on tennis, maximum attention should be paid to matches involving tennis players of approximately the same level. It is for such fights that bookmakers set high odds, so a bet on victory here will bring a very good income. In such matches, additional information should also be collected and analyzed in parallel, such as the surface on which the matches were played, the time of the last matches, and which players have improved/worsened their playing performance since the last head-to-head meeting.

This factor should not be discarded even if, according to statistical data, these tennis players have not met before. In this case, you should take a more in-depth and careful analysis of their recent and upcoming match on which you will be betting.

ATP and WTA.
The number of fans of betting on women's and men's tennis is approximately the same; some are confident that women's betting is more predictable, others see men's betting as such.

Let's dispel this myth right away! In terms of its predictability, it is impossible to single out one league or another, and this is not the question, it all depends on each individual handicapper’s possession of the amount of necessary information and the ability to analyze and interpret it into a bet.

The difference in these leagues for live betting is indeed present and fundamental, in contrast to pre-match betting on the ATP and WTA, where the approaches and methods are not particularly different, but still exist. ATP and WTA are two different systems, and if women compete in a three-set system, then men compete in a five-set system, so this factor must be taken into account when betting on tennis such as handicap or total.

As for betting on men's tennis, bettors mostly choose matches with good odds for the favorite or bet on equal tennis players (of approximately the same level) with the offered odds above 2.0. Such strategies are typical for men's tennis.

For betting on women's tennis, the main factor is the class of the tennis player, and not the current form in which she is. The moral and volitional characteristics of an athlete should also be included in the class. You can often observe how a good tennis player shows weak results in a tournament due to emotional factors, but the very next tournament she can play as before, forgetting about the losing streak, and show the game in her usual class. Therefore, fans of women's betting often place bets with odds of 3.0-6.0 in cases where a tennis player showed weak results in the last tournament, but in general has performed very well in recent months.

Singles and doubles competitions.
Tennis fans and beginners should not forget about the ongoing doubles competitions. You should definitely clarify this point at the beginning of your analysis and preparation for the bet. The fact is that many athletes, in addition to single tournaments, can simultaneously take part in doubles competitions. And here you should get involved and attract additional information: you need to collect information about the latest matches and track how and to what extent the tennis player gives his all in a particular confrontation. And only after that analyze and make a decision on the bet.

Those who plan to bet on doubles tennis should know that this type of tennis betting is one of the riskiest. Some experts argue that such betting is extremely unpredictable and obviously losing. But we don’t think so, there are indeed difficulties and the main one is the banal shortage and difficult search for the necessary information in pairs. But, despite this, there are certain basic criteria, by analyzing which you can make a highly accurate forecast and assess the chances of a particular pair to win. This should include:
– pair teamwork
– game on tiebreakers
– pair rating

The teamwork of a pair is the most important criterion for analysis in betting on doubles tennis. A high level of teamwork compensates for all the weaknesses of tennis players. The rating of a pair, as a rule, does not mean anything here, since there are not many established pairs in tennis, and there is a high level of rotation of tennis players from tournament to tournament. Taking these factors into account, we recommend betting on doubles tennis without taking into account the rating. The percentage obtained from the ratio of wins to the total number of games for each pair will be the most effective indicator for deciding whether to bet on a particular pair.

Tiebreakers also play an important role in betting on doubles tennis. Many matches end in a tiebreak, where the cost of a mistake increases significantly and the individual qualities of tennis players come first: experience, endurance and composure. Therefore, here it is necessary to analyze not only the statistics of tennis players’ play in tiebreaks, but also study their personal qualities and physical attitude before the tournament. This is a very painstaking and time-consuming work, but it is precisely this kind of analysis that will increase the percentage of winning bets in doubles tennis.

At the end of the section on doubles tennis, let us pay attention to one more important point. The fact is that even Top players with excellent results in singles are often “average” in doubles competitions or may even show unsatisfactory results in pairs. There are practically no “generalists” in tennis; all tennis players have strengths and weaknesses, and this should definitely be taken into account when betting on tennis matches.

This list of criteria is not exhaustive; in addition to these 3 main criteria, to obtain the most accurate forecast, players can use other recommendations from this material dedicated to betting on singles tennis.

Serving statistics.
It would seem that the serve factor means little in tennis betting, but this is far from the case. A tennis player's serve statistics are determined by the percentage calculated based on the first serves won to their total number, as well as games won and the number of match points saved.

The serve statistics will work most effectively in conjunction with selected information about the court surface. Properly collected and correctly analyzed statistical data on serves and coverage will help the player not only in predicting bets before the start of a tennis match, but also in live tennis bets (during the match).

Statistics of breaks and break points.
At its core, the analysis and use of statistics on breaks and break points is similar to statistics on serves; the main time here is spent collecting statistics on the number of breaks or break points and calculating the percentage of their winnings.

But there is also a more radical approach - a developed strategy (tactics), which is intended directly for betting on breaks and break points. It should be noted that this tactic is considered one of the most effective and efficient in tennis betting. You can familiarize yourself with this betting strategy and study it in detail in the following. "Tennis Betting Strategies" section.

Strategies for betting on tennis

A haphazard approach to betting, i.e. betting on luck is the same as playing the lottery! Any strategy used in betting will definitely bring more profit to the player than a haphazard set of bets.

There are many strategies for betting, but not all of them are applicable to tennis, and even if a strategy can be used in tennis, this does not mean that it is necessary to take it as a basis and start betting on tennis in strict accordance with its description. It is impossible to single out the best or best strategies for tennis, since a lot here depends on the personality of the player himself: some people prefer aggressive play and betting, while others, on the contrary, are very meticulous in their calculations. For these and other reasons, in most cases, those presented are not used in their pure form, but are modified to suit themselves, so to speak, to suit “their own game”, and for specific sports, as well as conditions. At the same time, experienced players, in the process of betting, experiment and combine one chosen strategy with other well-known strategies. But such “your own strategy” is developed only with experience, after repeated testing of various betting strategies and a lot of trial and error...
