All tennis matches have the same markets where you can bet on winners and score tallies. The markets are simple enough for beginners, but you’ll need to learn the rules of the bookmaker services to ensure a successful bet.
Here is the full guide to Sportsbet.io tennis betting explained that will walk you through the general rules so you may know its scope and limitations:
What is Sportsbet.io’s tennis betting guide?
Sportsbet.io’s tennis betting guide is designed to explain how the platform manages its tennis betting services. It covers certain aspects of what happens to the bet relative to the match when it exceeds expectations, such as being cancelled, forfeited, or delayed.
All betting rules are written based on the General Terms & Conditions. This page is dedicated to clarifying its scope and limitations within the context of Sportsbet tennis betting rules. Understanding them will help you know what to expect when betting on tennis, including for major tournaments like the Grand Slam series.
What are the general tennis betting rules at Sportsbet?
The following points are the sports bet tennis general rules that always apply on Sportsbet.io:
- All undecided bets are considered void when a game is cancelled. This can happen when a player retires, causing them to forfeit the tournament, and the other player walks over to the next round. Even though one player advances while the other is eliminated, it does not count as winning.
- Void bets are refunded back to your account. It will be reflected as soon as possible so check your balance afterwards.
- Bets remain unsettled and will continue if the match is delayed. Common delay causes are umpire decisions based on weather conditions, emergencies in the court, or technical concerns. Delayed matches will still happen within the day, so all bets will still be valid for that fixture.
- All bets placed on the game are still valid and will be settled according to the game’s outcome, even with penalty points factored in. That means penalties will affect an athlete’s chances to win and, by extension, all the bets backing them.
- All bets on the match are void if they end without being completed. Possible reasons for this to happen include the following:
- Extreme weather conditions: A typhoon, extreme heat, and heavy rain are valid reasons to cancel an outdoor tennis event.
- Injury: Players who are unable to continue playing due to injury, such as a sprained muscle, will stop the match.
- Player withdrawal: A player forfeits the match and the tournament before or during the match.
- Technical issues: Faulty court equipment hindering the game will effectively cancel the match.
- Disqualification: Rule violations or unsportsmanlike conduct can disqualify a player, effectively forfeiting the match.
Different tennis betting types at Sportsbet.io
The bets you can place on tennis matches follow professional rules. You can wager on predicted outcomes based on match dynamics. Here are examples of the tennis bet types you’ll find at Sportsbet.io:
Winner bets
There are two sides in a tennis match, and you place your bets on which one will win. Singles have one player on each side, while doubles have teams of two. At Sportsbet.io, you can find the winner's bet on the thumbnail of the fixture next to the names in the match. These are your options for betting on the winner of the scheduled match, and payouts are given at the end.
You can also bet on the winner of a set instead of the match. Every professional tennis match is a best of three sets, so the first to win two is the victor of the day. Sportsbet.io offers betting markets for the current set and only then offers the next one if the first finishes. Because of this system, you have three to four chances to win real cash prizes in tennis betting.
Total games - Over/under
The total games bet tracks how many games are played in the match and you guess if it will reach over or stay under a magic number. All outcomes for betting have a 0.5 increment so there’s a definitive winner between the over or under.
The scoring system in professional tennis is counted by ‘games’. What’s considered enough to win a set depends on the format and whether it is an advantage set or a tiebreak set.
To win an advantage set, one side needs to score two games ahead of the other team. A tiebreak set ends when one side reaches six games. If the set reaches 5-5 (5-all), then one team needs to win two games consecutively to win. Reaching a 6-6 starts a tiebreak game where the first side to score 7 points wins.
Correct score
Correct score betting involves predicting how many sets both sides will win by the end of the match. Since it’s a best of three sets and one side needs two wins, the possible outcomes are as follows:
- 2-1
- 1-2
- 2-0
- 0-2
You win the bet if the end match ends and the score distribution matches your prediction. The point system in tennis is fixed to be only the best of three sets. Therefore, the correct score bet is much easier than in other sports like football because your options are just the four outcomes above.
