Tennis betting Rules
Tennis games are known for the large number of sure bets you can find through them, but not all websites work according to the same rules. here in the “Tennis betting rules” you will learn that the most common difference in tennis rules is when one of the players quits before all sets end.
Most betting websites can be divided into 4 major groups when it comes to their tennis rules:
Group A:
the websites in this group take bets only if all sets ended and no player has quit (due to injury or another reason) before the end of the game. We’ll call this group “complete game”.
Group B:
the websites in this group take bets only in case at least two sets end. Games in most tournaments (except for the four Grand Slams) are played in “best out of three” sets and actually, most games are over after only two sets. We’ll call this group “two sets”.
Group C:
this group takes bets only after at least one set is completed before a player leaves the tournament. We’ll call this group “one set”.
Group D:
this group takes bets only if the game is just starting (after only one stroke). The player who goes on to the next level of the tournament is declared the winner even if the losing player quits in the middle of the game. We’ll call this group “one point”.
It is usually rare for a player to quit after the beginning of the game. In case this happens and you have placed a sure bet on two different betting websites with different rules, one of your bets will be canceled (you will get your investment back) and the second will be won or lost, depending on who was declared the winner.
Of course, we recommend not placing a sure bet in two websites from different groups because of different rules, but placing them on websites with the same rules even if the profit is lower.
Despite this, statistical data show that if a game was canceled it means that at least one set is over, and so there is almost no risk in mixing groups C and D in your sure bets, although mixing websites from group A with websites from group C and/or D is more risky.
Example of Tennis betting rules:
suppose I have a sure bet, one in odds of 3 and the other of 1.6 (gives me a profit of 4.35% on my investment). I place €100 on the first bet in a group B website and expect to get €300 back, and €188 on the second bet in a group A website in order to also get €300 back.
Case 1:
if the player I placed the bet on (odds 3 group B) quits after only two sets I lose the €100 I placed (because in group B two sets are considered a complete game and the bet has failed). I will get back my €188 from the other player (because in group A the game is over with no score). The result: a loss of €100.
Case 2:
if the player I placed the bet on on website A quits after two sets, I get my €188 (because the game is considered canceled) and I will also get my €300 from the second website which considers the game a win (a group B website). The result: a profit of €200 on an investment of €288 (70% profit).
