Tennis betting for many gamblers revolves around the Grand Slam events of Wimbledon, the U.S. Open, the French Open and the Australian Open. Tennis has a couple of main options. You can place a tennis bet on a player to win a particular tournament or you can wait until the tennis betting matchups are released by the sportsbook and bet those.
On the men’s side, in major tournaments, there is really only once choice that is worth betting to win a tournament and he is Roger Federer. He dominated tennis on the men’s side and makes placing a tennis bet on anyone else to win the tournament a long-shot proposition whenever he is entered.
Tennis on matchups is a better way to go on the men’s side because you can look at other matchups that may not involve Federer. Many sportsbooks won’t put up tennis betting matchups for Federer until the semifinals or finals and even then the odds are extremely high. That makes placing a tennis bet difficult on the men’s side if Federer is involved. The women’s side is a bit different since there are a number of women that have a realistic chance to win tournaments each week. That makes taking them as a tennis betting option to win a tournament may be worth a look. It also gives you better value as you look at them in tennis betting matchups. Keep that in mind as you look at the men’s and women’s tennis tournaments each week.
Tennis really does focus on the Grand Slam events but you should remember that there are tournaments throughout the year. There are tennis betting tournaments every month of the year between the ATP and WTA. That gives you a wide variety of tennis betting options depending upon the online sportsbook. Women’s tennis definitely has more value attached to it since more players can win each week. You may be able to find good tennis matchups depending upon which players are entered. You might find a player like Venus Williams at double-digit odds to win a tournament and that may be a good tennis wager. Similar value may be found on other players on the women’s side.
