How to Bet In-Play During Wimbledon

Popular In-Play Tennis Betting Markets

Several betting markets are available to punters who want to place in-play Wimbledon bets. We have covered the most popular ones below.

Match Winner

One of the simplest ways to bet on Wimbledon is by predicting the winner of a match. This is a popular in-play betting market as bettors can react to shifts in momentum in a match to who they believe will be victorious. It is a great way to get limited-time odds, too, if the favourite or underdog is playing according to plan.

Set Winner

A really interactive market during a match is betting on who may be the winner of each set. With sets taking anywhere from a few minutes to double figures, this can be a chance for the odds to really fluctuate and bettors to grab limited-time odds and offers. 

Total Games (Set/Match)

An engaging way to get involved with betting on Wimbledon is to place bets on how many games you think will be played. This can be in both the set and the match overall, and it is a popular way to bet in-play on the Grand Slam. These are often represented as over/under betting markets. Simply predict the correct number of games in the set or the match for the chance for your bet to win!

Next Point Winner

To really get involved in a game of tennis at Wimbledon, punters can place bets on the player who will win the next point. This is great for those who also like to watch along live and place quick bets, with next-point winner markets being one of the fastest-moving at bookmakers.
