The Ultimate Tennis Betting Guide

Millions of punters around the world enjoy betting on tennis. From pre-match to in-play wagers, the top online bookmakers cover it all. You can even bet on outright tournament markets for Grand Slam and regular tour events. We have created this ultimate tennis betting guide to help you make the right decisions along the way.

We’ll cover several important topics during this guide. For instance, did you know that you can redeem extra credit with Betfair tennis bonus codes? We’ll explain everything you need to know in further detail below.

Take Advantage of Promotions

If you want to reduce the number of times you press the deposit button, take advantage of bonus offers and promotions. When top players like Rafa Nadal and Naomi Osaka are playing, you could look for a price boost or enhanced odds multiple. On the other hand, if you want to back the underdog, you could opt for a free bet or cashback bonus.

Whatever you decide to do, try and get your hands on the best odds possible. The main aim is to build your bankroll over time. This can be achieved by using your bonus credit effectively. However, please scan the terms and conditions beforehand.

Implement a Strategy

Have a strategy in mind before you start. For instance, pre-match wagers don’t always offer the best returns. You can add extra value by taking advantage of in-play markets. If Roger Federer drops the first set, you’ll receive higher odds for him to come back and win the game.

Furthermore, ensure that you have an in-depth understanding of the various markets. There are dozens of different options. Lots of top online bookies allow you to place bets on the total number of sets, the total number of games, and the correct score. You can also bet on a player to win a specific tournament.

Analyze Recent Results

Don’t back a player because they are a household name. Analyze their form and make sure that they’re winning games. The best players in the business lose matches from time to time.

What’s more, there are lots of useful statistics out there that will allow you to pinpoint your best bet. If Novak Djokovic is playing at the US Open, for instance, take a look at his hard-court form. When you combine all of these factors, you should be able to identify value for money markets.


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.
