Tennis fans can bet on Women’s Tennis through setting up an online sports betting account. To set up an online sports betting account, a tennis fan should select a reputable online sports betting site, at which time the site will ask for information such as name, address, and email address. Additionally, most sports betting sites accept credit cards, debit cards, wire transfers and some e-wallets in order to fund the sports betting account. Sports betting sites typically provide an instant deposit bonus of some sort, which means that bettors will have capital to wager beyond their initial investment.
When doing some serious tennis betting, sports bettors do so most often by way of the money line. In the early rounds of tennis tournaments like the Australian Open, ranked players are often up against unranked players. In these early rounds, sports betting sites typically list the ranked player to win in straight sets vs. not winning in straight sets. Thus, the bettor believes either the ranked player wins the match in two sets or they do not. The bettor wagering against a straight set win will find their bets paying out if the ranked player wins two sets to one, or even loses the match. The listing for an early round tennis match typically looks similar to the following:
Serena Williams to win 2-0 -400
Serena Williams Not to win 2-0 +275
In this sample tennis line, the bettor believes either Serena Williams will win in straight sets or she will not win in straight sets. If betting the not side of the tennis match, the bet pays if Serena wins 2-1, or if she loses either 2 sets to love, or 2-1. The winning side pays only if Serena takes down the match two sets to love.
The win side of this money line is listed at -400. This means that a player will win $100 for every $400 they have wagered on the match if they wind up on the winning side of the tennis match. On the other side of the equation, the NOT side of the tennis match is listed with a money line of +275. The +275 money line listing means that a bettor will win $275 for every $100 they wager. One can deduce that the most likely outcome, according to the odds makers, is that Serena takes down the early round match in straight sets.
