Set Betting
One of the most popular types of bets in Tennis involves set betting. In this article, we will explain the basics of set betting so you can increase your chances of profiting. It can be slightly difficult to understand, but set betting is one of the most commonly preferred types of bets within the sport. You can find bookies for tennis at topbettingwebsites.co.uk . All of these bookies have an excellent reputation, and they are known for providing excellent customer service. They have many markets and games on offer. This means that you can find a tennis match from a variety of leagues to bet on either pre-match or in-play. Set betting is available for all matches, and below, we will explain what this type of bet entails.
The Set Line
In Tennis, set betting is available in a spread bet. This type of spread is exclusive to the sport. Rather than betting on individual matches that a player wins, you bet on how many sets a player wins. The majority of Tennis matches have three sets; however, this can also be five. The usual set line for three-set matches is + and – 1.5. What this means is that you bet on whether a player will win in straight sets. The underdog part of this line bets on the player winning at least one set. If they win more sets, then you will still win the bet.
This set line becomes a bit more complex when it comes to five-set matches. In grand slam competitions, it is common to see the set line at -2.5. This means that the favored player must win in straight sets, and the opposite bet means that the underdog must win at least one set. When the players are more evenly skilled, the set line can be -1.5. This means that the favorite must win by at least two sets. A straight-sets victory or a 2 set victory would allow this bet to be won. However, if they lose more than one set, then the bet would lose.
One particular aspect to note about the set line is that there can be odds that cover the Moneyline together with the handicap. This occurs when betting on heavy favorites, that are highly likely to win in straight sets. A set line of -1.5 may only have odds of 1.65, for example. However, this can offer good value when compared to betting on a favorite to win outright, where the payout can be considerably less. The advantages of a set line are that they allow you to bet on favorites dominating or underdogs pulling back a set.
Win Margin
You can also bet on the specific outcome of sets. A popular bet is the winning margin of the first bet. Players usually aim to start strong, and the performance of a first set can be different from the rest. This offers a useful betting opportunity. Some players are well-known for starting on the strong foot, and you can use this knowledge to your advantage. Betting on 6-0, 6-1, or 6-2, can offer great odds when compared to betting on winning the set alone. This is another way to get more value from betting on favorites.
Closing Thoughts
Many Tennis matches can have unfavorable odds, especially when the favorites are playing. This can make bets seem unappealing due to their low payouts. However, the use of set betting allows you to garner extra value from bets. You will now have a much better idea of how set betting works in the Tennis 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.
