When it comes to tennis betting most people only think that the Grand Slams get action but that is not true. There are actually men’s and women’s tournaments almost every single week of the year. Let’s take a look at tennis betting at BetPhoenix.
Tennis betting is not a big priority for the sportsbooks but that can be good news for bettors. Many times the oddsmakers will not know that much about tennis players and they will just set generic lines. Some sportsbooks will only offer tennis betting lines on Grand Slam events but others will offer tennis betting lines on tournaments every month. The lines in tennis betting are easy to understand because they are based on money lines. Let’s look at an example.
Roger Federer +230
Novak Djokovic -270
In this tennis betting example you would risk $270 to win $100 on Djokovic or the 27-10 equivalent. If you bet Federer and he won you would get $230 plus your $100 back or the 10-23 equivalent. Tennis betting lines are similar to what you see in other sports that have money lines. These are matchups where you are just betting one player against another.
Another option that people consider when they bet tennis is to take one player to win the tournament. The odds on the tournament will have the top 20 players or so listed to win the tournament. They might be 2-1 on a player like Djokovic or 10-1 or more on some longshot. Some lesser known players could easily have odds of 100-1.
It is important to remember that the men and women do not always play the same tournaments. They will definitely play Grand Slam events at the same time but men and women have separate tours and separate events. As you bet tennis there will be odds available at BetPhoenix where you can pick the players you think will win.
