OK, lets serve it to them! For most people in the U.K Wimbledon is the only time they will be ton tennis. The bookmakers make more in this period than they do for the other three grand slams combined! Nowardays however, there is the ATP tour which allows betting from bookmakers like Stan James every week.
Match betting is a popular form of betting and offers quick returns on your investment. Simply pick the player you think will win the match and you are away! However, there are some big swings with this type of betting as form changes so fast, it is not for the weak hearted.
Alternatively, you can bet on people to win the tournaments, this normally takes one to two weeks to complete and get paid. These markets suit the more patient gambler who has studied his statistics and feels he can get value for his bet. Considerations such as form, court surface, personal lives of the players, climate and more are worth considering before betting.
The last type of bets available are total bets where you must predict certain totals like total aces, total double faults, total games played and more. Tennis offers a good opportunity for the patient gambler to make a profit. |
