Tennis spread betting explained

Did you know you can also place tennis spread bets as well as fixed odds bets on your Spreadex account?

Spread betting works by playing on a 'spread' or prediction on the number of things to happen in a match.

Step 1: Choose a spread market on a match. E.g. the 'spread' on Total Games may be 38 - 40.
Step 2: Decide if you think the final outcome will be higher or lower than the spread.
Step 3: If higher (e.g. more than 40 games) you would buy. If lower (fewer than 38) you would sell.
Step 4: Your profit or loss depends on the difference between your buy or sell level and the final outcome, multiplied by your stake.

Remember that unlike fixed odds betting, you can lose more than your initial stake with spread betting should the bet go against you.

HOW TO PLACE A TENNIS SPREAD BET

To place a bet, look at the Spreadex prediction or spread on the market in question. If you think the outcome will be higher than our price, then you would buy on the spread. If you think the outcome will be lower than our price, then you would sell on the spread.

The more right you are the more you can win, but the opposite is the case if you get it wrong, as you may lose more than your initial stake.

See the links on the left-hand side for detailed descriptions on the tennis betting markets offered by Spreadex, including our fixed odds tennis betting prices.

In-play tennis betting

One of the main attractions of sports spread betting is the vast array of in-play betting opportunities.

At Spreadex we offer a wide selection of in-play tennis spread betting markets on live games, with prices constantly updated as the action unfolds on the court.

In-play tennis bets allow you to open or close bets at any point after the start of the game up until the final point meaning you can close out of your bets early either to take profits or to cut losses.

In-play tennis betting also means your bet needn’t be over straight away as would be the case if, for example, you placed a fixed odds tennis bet on a Player A player to win the first set only for Player B to go into a one set to love lead.

Tennis supremacy bets

Game Supremacy: The winning margin, in games, that one player beats the other player by in a particular match. For example, Spreadex may quote Player A’s Game Supremacy at 2.6-3.6 over Player B. If Player A wins 6-1, 6-1 then the market will make-up at 10.

10-5 Match Supremacy: The winning margin of one player over the other player, based on 10 points being awarded for the win and five points for each set won by. E.g. If Player A beats Player B by 3 sets to love in a best of five sets match then the market will make-up at 25 ((10 +(3x5)).

Points Supremacy: How many more points will one player win over another, in total, in a match.

Games-related tennis bets

Total Games Played: Predict the total number of games played in a particular match.

So if Player A beats Player B 7-6, 4-6, 6-3 then total games would make-up at 32 (7+6+4+6+6+3 = 32).

Player Games: A prediction of how many games a named player win in a match.

Cross Courts: Player A’s set games won multiplied by Player B’s set games won, aggregated for each set played in a match.

For example, if Player A beats Player B 6-4, 4-6, 6-0 then Cross Courts will make-up at 48 ((6x4) + (4x6) + (6x0)).

Points-related tennis bets

Total Points Played: A prediction of the total number of points that will be played in a particular match. Spreadex may predict that between 150-155 points will be contested in total in a best of three sets match.

Total Match/Player Aces: A prediction of the total number of aces to be recorded in a match in total, or per player.

Total Match/Player Double Faults: A prediction of the total number double faults to be recorded in a match in total, or per player.

Index-based tennis bets

Index-related tennis spread bets are based on how many points players will get based on a certain points index.

Our Championship Index predicts how many points players will earn during a competition based on the following: 60 points awarded if the player wins the tournament, 40 to the runner-up, 20 to losing semi-finalists, 10 to losing quarter-finalists and 5 to players who go out in the last 16.

Spreadex may give a player a Championship Index quote of 11-14. If you think the player will reach the semi-finals at least you would buy on the quote. If you think the player will go out in the quarter-finals or earlier you would sell on the quote.
