Online Tennis Betting

Anyone can play the football pools, and millions do. However, for a more nuanced experience, why not try tennis betting? True, it’s not as popular as football, but what is? Tennis betting, unlike the betting opportunities offered by other sports, can be a year-round profit opportunity.

Most sports have a fixed season of only a few months. However, many people are surprised to know that tennis tournaments run from January to December. The average punter has heard of the big tournaments, like the Australian Open or Wimbledon. Yet there are literally hundreds of tournaments played throughout the year that never make it to the telly. The attentive investor can find opportunities every month of the year.

Another great thing about betting on tennis is the variety that is available when placing your bets. True, there are the standard winner and loser positions, but you can also bet on sets. Sets betting refers to the number of sets the match will run, as unlike in other sports with tennis one has to win by a set score so this number can vary.

Tennis betting also offers infinite combinations of players and surfaces, and rewards those who study both attentively. While the top ten players in men’s and women’s tennis are quite famous, there are hundreds of players. Many of the important tournaments require qualification, allowing you to bet on lesser known players to qualify. Lay betting is also popular in tennis betting.

A further permutation that rewards the punter who knows the players deeply is the issue of surfaces. Tennis can be played on natural grass, artificial turf, clay, and hard surfaces. Players vary in their ability to handle the different conditions and this can be an edge. Betting software may help you track this statistic if it becomes too tiresome to remember by hand.

Weather can also be a factor. Matches can be played indoors or outdoors, and the outdoor games, even at the famous tournaments, can be delayed by rain. Wimbledon has had several matches of late postponed in the middle of the set due to rain and you can be certain that this element of the game will keep you on the edge of your seat. Coupled with the year-round playing season, this also raises the variations of heat exhaustion and wind. Truly, there isn’t more variety to be had when it comes to betting, so the serious sports investor would be well put to consider adding tennis betting to their portfolio.
