Popular Tennis Betting Markets at Bally Bet

Here's a handy list outlining some of the most popular types of bets available for tennis matches, and how they work.

Match Winner

A straightforward market where you bet on who you think will win the match.

Set Betting

Decide what you think the exact set score of the match will be. A winning set bet pays more than a match winner bet because you’re choosing the margin of victory.

For men’s Grand Slam matches, which follow a best-of-five format, options are 3-0 (straight sets), 3-1 and 3-2. It’s a best-of-three format for women’s Grand Slams and the ATP and WTA tournaments, so 2-0 and 2-1 will be the available options.

Set Handicap

As with handicap bets in other sports, here you’re applying a virtual advantage or disadvantage for a certain player to maintain or overcome. Doing so helps balance the perceived differences in quality between the two players.

Backing the favourite at –1.5 sets means they’d have to win by at least two sets for your bet to come good.

Total Games

With a total games bet, you’re wagering on whether the number of games in a match exceeds or falls short of a specific line.

For example, a best-of-three match ending 6-4, 7-5 adds up to 22 games played, so the over would win on a totals market line set at 21.5.

Correct Score

Choose what you think the exact score will be in a certain set, from 6-1 and 1-6 to 7-6 and 7-6 depending on the player you pick.

Accumulators and Bet Builders

Combine multiple match selections into one bet with an accumulator for enhanced odds, or build a custom bet across different markets within the same match using our bet builder. Both are available across tennis at Bally Bet.

Pre-Match and In-Play

Pre-match markets open ahead of each match and remain available until the first serve. In-play markets run throughout the match, with odds moving in real time after every game and every major shift in play. Both are available across the major tournaments and events on the calendar.

How Tennis Betting Works

Understanding the Odds

Odds tell you two things: how likely an outcome is considered to be, and what you stand to receive if it lands. Shorter odds mean a more likely outcome and a smaller potential return. Longer odds reflect something considered less likely. Here, the potential return is higher, but so is the chance of the bet not landing.

Back the match favourite and the odds will be short. Back the underdog and the potential return increases alongside the risk. For a closer look at how odds work across all sports, our Reading Odds guide is worth checking out.

Singles, Accumulators and Bet Builders

A single bet is one selection on one outcome. Back a player to win their match, and if they do, you're paid out. The simplest form of tennis betting and the starting point for most.

An accumulator combines multiple selections - across different matches or tournaments - into one bet. All selections must land for the bet to pay out, but the odds multiply across each leg, offering bigger potential returns for a smaller stake. Accas are popular during Grand Slam weeks when there are multiple high-profile matches on the same day.

A bet builder lets you combine different markets from within a single match. Back a player to win, set a total games line and add a set handicap, all in one bet. The more legs you add, the longer the combined odds become, and all selections must land.

How to Place a Tennis Bet

Find your market, set your stake and confirm your bet. Your stake is locked in at the point of placing, and returns are calculated at the odds available when you confirmed. Most tennis markets settle once the match concludes. In-play bets settle as soon as the relevant event occurs.

What Happens if You Win

Winnings are added to your account balance once the bet settles. From there, you can withdraw to your bank account or use the balance on your next bet.

Betting on Tennis Grand Slam Tournaments

As the sport’s biggest events, it’s no surprise the four Grand Slams see such a large amount of betting activity. Here’s a quick overview of when they take place and how they can differ from one another.

Australian Open

Taking place at Melbourne Park across the month of January, market odds for the Australian Open can change to reflect the summer heat (the tournament has an Extreme Heat Policy) as well as the fact it’s the first major of the tournament. Players coming off a strong off-season and those who play well in humidity perform nicely here.

Roland Garros

The French Open takes place between May and June on clay courts, which, as we explained earlier, suit players with the stamina to see long and hard-fought matches through.

Wimbledon

Arguably the most prestigious tennis tournament, held on grass courts that aid big servers and flat hitters.

US Open

You can catch the fourth and final tournament in August and September. The US Open is played out on hard courts at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York.

Hard courts provide consistent playing conditions, but the challenge for this tournament comes from the late summer humidity as well as it being, and it’s a real test of players’ fitness and adaptability being the final major of the series.

Betting on the ATP and WTA Tours

For weekly tennis action, you can check out the ATP and WTA tours, both of which feature tournaments at various levels.

ATP tennis is where you'll find the ATP 250 and the Masters 100, while the WTA hosts similar tournaments like the WTA 125. Owing to the greater parity between players, WTA tournaments are hotbeds for upsets, so if you’re looking for matches with giant-killings, look no further.
