Understanding the various tennis betting markets can enhance your betting experience and improve your chances of success. There are several options for new and experienced gamblers such as predicting the eventual winner of the entire tournament or even betting on number of games in a match. This guide will examine and discuss some of the most common Lotus365 tennis betting markets while giving tips on how to maximize from them. For instance, we shall use a match involving Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal.
Match Winner
The simplest and most popular market on Lotus365, Match Winner betting lets one bet on a player who wins the whole match.
Example:
Andy Murray (2/1) vs. Rafael Nadal (2/5)
If you placed a bet that Andy Murray would win, then you win if he does so in this game. The same case is applied when someone backs Rafael Nadal, and he proceeds to winning. Betters who have just started find this market clear cut hence it is perfect for beginners. Nonetheless, it should be noted that different bookmakers pay out their “match winner” bets differently if a game is abandoned due to bad weather or other reasons.
Some bookies pay out as long as one ball has been hit in the match. Others pay out if one set has been completed and void bets if less than one set is played. Some void all Match Winner bets if the match is not completed.
Set Betting
Predicting exactly how many sets there will be by; 2-1 or 3-0 is termed as Set Betting.
Example:
Murray to win 2-0 (5/1)
Nadal to win 2-0 (Evens)
Murray to win 2-1 (4/1)
Nadal to win 2-1 (3/1)
In other words, what do you think will happen between these two players in terms of sets. For example, if you bet on Murray to win 2-1, you need him to win two sets and Nadal one for your bet to win. This market can offer higher odds, especially when betting on exact outcomes.
Handicap Betting
Here the odds are adjusted by either giving a set or game advantage to one player in order to have fair competition.
Example:
Andy Murray +3.5 (4/5)
Rafael Nadal -3.5 (Evens)
If your bet was placed on Murray with a +3.5 games handicap, then it wins if he wins the match or loses by less than 3.5 games. On the other hand, if you put a bet on Nadal who is given a -3.5 games handicap; his winning margin must be more than 3.5 games for your bet to succeed… Handicap betting allows betting favorite at better odds or support the underdog without needing outright victory.
Over/Under Games
In this market of Over/Under Games, players stake their bets basing upon whether all total number of games that will be played exceeds or falls below a particular figure.
Example:
Under 31.5 Games (5/6)
Over 31.5 Games (10/11)
If you chose “Over 31.5 Games,” then the total number needed would be more than thirty-two as well as above other numbers below it for example thirty-one which is inclusive in “Under”. Take an instance where nadal beats Murray 6-3,6-1 and7-6; in this case there are twenty nine matches hence those who took “under” won out..
Correct Score
This type of betting expects one to predict how many goals each team will score by the end of every half-time period in football matches.
Example:
Murray for 6-4, 6-3
Nadal for 7-5, 6-4
If you predict the exact score, such as Murray winning 6-4, 6-3, the match must end with these exact scores for your bet to win. This market can be challenging but offers high potential payouts.
First Set Winner
First Set Winner betting involves wagering on which player will win the first set.
Example:
Murray at first set (2/1)
Nadal at first set (1/2)
If you bet on Murray to win the first set and he does, you win the bet, regardless of the final match result.
Total Sets
Total Sets betting involves predicting the total number of sets played in the match.
Example:
Over 3.5 Sets (2/1)
Under 3.5 Sets (1/2)
If you bet on “Over 3.5 Sets” in a best-of-five match, you need at least four sets to be played for your bet to win. If you bet on “Under 3.5 Sets,” you need three or fewer sets.
In-Play Betting
In-Play Betting allows you to place bets while the match is ongoing, with odds updating in real-time based on match progress.
Example:
Forecast who will win next game
Forecast who will win next set
Who will take this game?
This market is dynamic and odds shift quickly offering opportunities to capitalize on momentum swings and match developments.
Player to Win a Set
This market on Lotus365 involves betting on whether a specific player will win at least one set in the match.
Example:
Murray takes a set (1/2)
Nadal takes a set (1/10)
If you bet on Murray to win a set and he wins at least one set in the match, you win your ticket.
Outright Winner
Outright Winner betting involves wagering on which player will win the entire tournament.
Example:
Novak Djokovic (3/1)
Carlos Alcaraz (7/2)
Daniil Medvedev (9/2)
This long-term bet requires patience and careful assessment of players’ form and performance throughout the tournament. It offers higher odds but comes with increased risk.
