Popular tennis betting markets

There are some tennis betting markets that are more popular amongst tennis punters. These are mainly:

Match betting
Set betting
Game betting
Point betting

Those tennis betting markets are on that order for a reason. TThose tennis markets are popular for different reasons and we will try to give you some kind of tennis betting advise in order to be able to identify which ones are approrpriate for you.

Starting from the bottom, Point betting in a tennis match is a lot more a gamblers bet rather than a normal bet. Obviously the tennis player who is serving has more chances to win the point but this will happen around 60% of the time ( depending how strong the tennis player is ). Game betting belongs more or less on the same category, maybe a bit less of a gambing bet. If the player who is serving on that game loses a couple of points it is very possible to loose the game overall.

So, tennis betting on those two markets is much more appropriate for someone who wants to take advantage of a value bet or wants to gamble for quick profit. That is why most punters will prefer to bet on those tennis markets, so if they win they can use the funds for their next bet etc.

The tennis betting markets that most punters would prefer are the set betting and the match winner. Someone will bet on tennis match winner if he is confident that he is better than his opponent and has the whole tennis match to prove it. On the same lines, tennis set betting is more of a "conservative" bet as the favourite has always more chances to win a set even if he/she looses a point or a game.
