BEST TENNIS BETTING SITES

Matches on various surfaces (Clay, Cement, Grass, Indoor)

Players often under-perform or over-perform against certain players at certain times of the season and on certain surfaces. Andy Murray is useless on clay but very good on grass.
Look at when players may have had an easy or difficult match in the previous rounds – A series of difficult matches will have different effects on different players depending on their injuries, fitness levels and intensity of the tournament.

Consider the International breaks which are for Davis Cup and the Olympic games. These can often break or improve a player’s form.
Distances travelled for players playing in tournaments far from home can affect performances as well as the countries court type of the player. Spanish and French are strong on clay, Americans and Australians are strong on cement, Russians are strong on all.

Player Rankings
Be sure to check the ranking position of the players in the match before making a bet because the closer their ranking to each other the closer the games and matches are more likely to be, while a large gap between the rankings can mean more “love” games (4 point to zero points) and sets to “love” (6-0).

We sometimes think a player is good because they are famous but that does not always mean they are doing well at this time. Consider that a player in 17th is not always going to beat a player that is 39th – especially when you consider whether the player in 17th is falling in the rankings and the player that is 39th is moving up the rankings.
Use the rankings table to check the points differences between the players and how close they are to moving up or down as this can affect their motivation levels at tournaments.

Check the ranking points allocated for winning tournaments on the ATP tour as this will affect how seriously or motivated a player may be for winning the tournament.

Past Results
Check how many sets the player has “dropped” (lost) through the tournament as this can indicate where the player is weaker or which opponents have caused them problems. This is very useful in later betting when the players meet again in the future and you are looking for value.

Look out for “Bogey” players – These are players that for some reason often lose against one specific player whenever they player even when there is a huge gap between the players’ ranking positions.
