Practical tips for betting on tennis

Surface matters: some players are far stronger on clay than on hard courts, and vice versa. So does the schedule: a player coming off a long tournament may arrive tired. And read each operator's retirement rules before backing a player carrying an injury.

Live betting between the points

In play, markets open and close between points. It is the fastest format of all, and lag in your connection or stream can mean your bet arrives late. If you bet this way, switch off automatic acceptance of odds changes, keep stakes small and decide in advance how many in-play bets you will place. For matches in the small hours, ask yourself whether it is a good time to make decisions with money.

Bankroll notes for a year-round sport

With no off-season, a budget without limits runs dry. Set a monthly amount and a cap per match. If the operator offers deposit or loss limits, switch them on from the account settings on your phone.

Frequently asked questions

What happens to my bet if a player retires?

It depends on the operator's rules: some void the bet if the match is not completed, others let it stand if a certain number of sets were played. Check the tennis rules in your account's help section.

What is a games handicap?

A head start or deficit in games won. At -3.5, your player must win at least four more games than the opponent across the match.

Is betting between points on a phone a good idea?

It is the fastest format and the one most punished by connection lag. If you do it, keep stakes small, switch off automatic odds acceptance and set a maximum number of bets per match.
