Tournament betting is much more varied and can be extremely fun. You can place bets months in advance for annual events such as Grand Slams. Ante post odds allow you to bet on not one but several players at the same time who you feel can win the overall event or rounds. This gives you much better odds.
Using the annual Grand Slams tennis event, you can place bets on mixed doubles also, as members from the WTA and the ATP are present. This also allows for more strategic betting to be made. You have the whole year to research players and then decide who you think may win the game.
Due to larger tournaments being held annually, you can also start to look at the conditions in which the players are used to competing in, so on the day you can tailor your bet accordingly.
Larger tournaments such as Wimbledon are vastly televised as they are very prestigious events. If you are watching from home you can place in place bets. For example, you can bet during the second set after assessing player performances in the first. The odds will not be as great as long bets for example, but they are a handy addition nonetheless.
Events such as WTA see females players around the world compete in four different tiers. You can place bets on winners of each event, set or even the overall tournament.
The WTA ranks its winners by points that are allocated after each game, this then determines who wins the tournament.
The ATP has an impressive 50 plus tournaments. These vary from men’s doubles to men’s singles, giving you any other betting factors to consider. Their tournaments see them travel around the world to compete, so weather and court conditions can be a huge factor.
In addition to betting on overall winners in events such as the Australian Open, Grand Slams and French Opens, you can also have a little more fun and place bets on the fastest serves and player faults. This allows you to indulge further into the game.
