Refining Your Tennis Betting Strategy

When it comes to increasing your returns when tennis betting, you can refine your strategy based on three essential elements:

1. Finding betting value
2. Practicing healthy money management
3. Maintaining discipline

Implementing this three-fold strategy will ensure that you make more money with your wagering activities and once you refine your strategy, you’ll see your returns increase incrementally. Tennis is a hugely popular sport in the UK and globally, and the fact that there are wagering opportunities year-round makes it all the more of an attractive betting portion.

Finding a Tennis Value Bet

This factor’s importance cannot be overstated: the absolute key to successful tennis betting over the longer term is to wager only when there is value in the odds. Calculating betting value is very simple:

Value = (decimal odds * Your Assessed Probability) – 1

Whenever the value is greater than zero, you have a value bet on your hands. The way to beat the bookmakers is to make assessments of a given outcome’s probability that are more accurate than theirs. Doing this consistently will make your bets more profitable over the long-term.

This kind of preparation is part of what makes tennis betting so enjoyable, especially as you get better at doing it and start seeing results in the returns from your stakes.

Application of Sound Money Management

Very similar to the idea of value betting is the requirement to apply a consistent staking strategy. Any worthwhile plan for betting should make the most of the value that you have learned to identify, as well as minimising the risk to your betting bankroll overall.

If you want success over the long-term when it comes to tennis betting, or wagering on any sport for that matter, you will need to take an approach to the pastime like a financial planner would.

As far as your bankroll is concerned, you need to start off with an amount of cash that would not see you go under should you lose it. Many of the most successful bettors in the world started with small bankrolls, building from the ground up, and we recommend you do the same. Slow and steady wins the race, and nowhere is that more true than with successful betting of any kind.

Keep a Record of Your Bets

Now that you have started identifying bet value and practicing money management, your third task remains: keeping a record of the wagers you make. These records should include the following:

• Date
• Tournament
• Bet type
• Bet details
• Bookmaker
• Stake
• Odds
• Profit/loss
• Comments

Failing to keep an accurate record of your betting puts your chances of profiting over the long-term at risk. Your records are there so that you can conduct reviews regularly, and see what your overall performance is. They will help you answer questions like:

• Which types of bets are you profiting from most consistently?
• Which tournaments see you losing money?
• Are you going through a losing streak?
• Has it happened before?
• What did you do to recover from it in the past?

Refining your tennis betting strategy is a worthwhile pursuit, and it is one that will pay off both short and long term.


What is the purpose of club membership?

Most members use the advisory to generate profits via bookmaker and/or exchange accounts. For someone staking £100 per match this has yielded thousands in profit even once the annual membership fee is deducted.

Will bookmakers limit my account(s)?

Most likely, yes. Club bets have a proven track record of value (+ EV) and bookmakers are likely to notice this. Short term you’ll be fine but longer term we suggest using betting exchanges or ‘winners welcome’ bookmakers or brokers. That’s why we always quote and record odds from Betfair Exchange for members as that illustrates profits for those who are limited.

How will it work after joining?

Your membership will be confirmed with a personal welcome email. You’ll get 12 months access from a single payment and there is no auto renewal – we’ll simply ask if you wish to continue after the year has elapsed. You should expect an average of two emails per week detailing the advised selection, match, tournament and odds. Simply login to your betting account and place a wager on the selected market. We only use standard match winner bets, often referred to as the moneyline, so coverage is extensive at virtually all betting portals. Have any questions? Please visit the contact us page. Average response time 24h.

Is club membership limited?

Yes, we allow a maximum of ten members to have an active annual membership at any one time. This is to preserve value and market liquidity. Essentially ensuring it’s practical to obtain the advised odds without them disappearing too quickly.

What bankroll is required?

We suggest £10,000 or more ideally although smaller can work. Most members choose to follow our advice of staking 1% per match. This means it automatically adjusts and scales as the total grows and compounds returns. In the above example; the member would have yielded over £3,000 profit but had to pay the membership fee leaving them with a net profit in excess of £2200. Some members have vastly exceeded this by staking higher amounts but please remember to have a long term focus and ensure capacity for successive losses.

What type of bets should I expect?

Always match winner bets covering men’s professional tennis. This includes ATP events, Challenger and Grand Slams. We specialise in high odds underdogs which have yielded the most considerable profits in extensive back testing. Selections with odds of 10/1 (11.00) are not uncommon. We deliver advisory emails at a consistent time with a minimum of six hours before the scheduled start time to ensure plenty of time to get bets placed.

Who is the club open to?

Everyone with a decent bankroll and a long term outlook. We have members from around the world betting in many different currencies and jurisdictions. Tennis Tips UK are based in the United Kingdom, hence the name, but the club is truly global.

How is profit tracked?

For transparency we operate a public spreadsheet. This shows all key metrics such as units profit, ROI, yield and strike rate. We even monitor the Avg Diff CO % for those statisticians amongst you. In a nutshell this measures the implied value by comparing the advised odds with the sharp closing line. 2% is deducted from all recorded profit figures to simulate exchange commission. Just to clarify bets are only added to the spreadsheet post result confirmation to retain exclusivity of access to paid club members.

For winning bets our team also publish profit reports which feature the original email sent to members for additional tracking and verification purposes. This also includes a rating for that specific prediction which gives an insight into how our strategy is optimised over time.

Who picks the bets for club members?

Tennis Tips UK have grown into a small team over the years. Founded way back in 2013 by an odds compiler at a leading EU bookmaker. Since then joined by a quant and business manager. Each one of us lives and breathes tennis but we like to let our results speak for themselves rather than make outlandish personal claims.

Why don’t you bet on your own picks if they are so good?

We do, frequently. The issue surrounds liquidity and limitations. Club members have access to a wide range of liquidity from global sportsbooks and exchanges. We, as individuals, are far more restricted. Typically though we still stake an average of £10k per week on our selections but unfortunately virtually every bookmaker has long since banned us. We should take it a compliment really as a limitation is an endorsement of the profitability of your bets from an often billion pound institution.

Is there a way to reduce the cost of membership?

The fee is set at a level which allows us to fill membership places. If you are a prospective first time club member enter the promo code ‘TTUK10’ during checkout to reduce the cost. Please note this is a one time discount and not available for returning members.
