Betting on Tennis with totesport
For lots of people Tennis betting starts and ends with the Wimbledon fortnight but here at totesport we don’t think the same way! Tennis betting has grown in popularity greatly in the past few years as more and more live events are beamed direct into everyone’s homes and not only are the tennis Grand Slam events broadcast from first to last serve, but even the regular weekly tennis tournaments are covered.
The action on the tennis circuit is pretty much all year round, with the action kicking off in January and going right through to November.
The Australian Open provides the first major action of the season and indeed the first Grand Slam event. This is followed by the French Open on a very different clay court surface at Roland Garros. Then Wimbledon takes centre stage on grass, the south west London venue still being the Holy Grail for many players, before the Grand Slam year concludes with the US Open at Flushing Meadows, with games under the floodlights in New York.
In between these ‘Grand Slam’ events, there is anything up to three Men’s tennis tournaments every week, while there are as many Women’s tennis events that offer plenty of variety to betting punters.
At the end of the season the major players take part in the Masters Series events, which see small but select fields competing for fabulous prize money. Of course we shouldn’t forget the team events which are played throughout the year between countries, the Davis Cup for men and the Federation Cup for women.
We offer markets on the outright winner market on every major tennis tournament, with match betting available throughout the majority of tournaments on nearly every game. The betting odds don’t end there though, as you can also get involved in set betting and handicap set betting on selected matches.
The sheer variety of betting opportunities we have on offer give you lots of opportunities to get involved in the tennis markets with totesport.
Here are some vital pointers that can help you with your tennis betting:
- Putting doubles to one side, tennis is primarily an individual sport. This means that, as in golf, the punter doesn’t have to worry about assessing matters such as team dynamics or managerial decisions, as he would in soccer or cricket, but you have to consider if your selection has a sound and reliable temperament.
- Most major games can be watched live on TV, and statistical information and commentary about previous matches is readily available from a number of sources.
- Although one obviously has to be aware of injuries and fitness issues, form in tennis is generally a very good guide to future performance. This means that when a good player is on a roll, they are likely to be worth following.
- Last but by no means least, always check what surface a player likes and can perform on – not all players can play on all surfaces and the quicker hard courts for example, don’t necessarily lend themselves to those brought up on the slower clay courts.
Whatever your strategy, have fun with your tennis betting and don’t forget to check out all our latest odds at totesport.com.
