Match Winner

The simplest way to bet on tennis and Wimbledon is to place a bet on the Match Winner. This simply involves betting on the player you think will win in a match. If you get the winning player correct, your bet should be a success. Our guide to picking a Wimbledon dark horse based on stats builds on this with a more data-led approach to finding an unexpected winner.

Set Betting

Set betting is a great way to get involved with the tournament and games. Bettors must predict the final scoreline in sets throughout a match, such as 2-0 or 2-1. This is a much harder way to bet, but it is a great way to increase the potential rewards of a bet. 

Total Games

Total Games bets are often in Over/Under format and involve bettors guessing how many games will be played in a match. With this type of bet, it does not matter who the winner of the match is, just that you guess over or under the correct number of games.

In-Play

There are loads of opportunities to place live in-play bets on the tennis, especially throughout Wimbledon. This enables bettors to get access to exclusive, limited-time odds, price boosts, and special bets such as total aces, double faults, a tiebreak, and more.

• Research Player Form - It is always worthwhile researching the form of any of the players that you are looking to bet on. Check for any previous meetings and the results, as well as their recent run of form and results leading up to Wimbledon. Also, look at their previous Wimbledon appearances and experience. 

• Learn the Tournament Surface - Wimbledon is played on grass courts, so it is important to research the players who thrive or struggle on that particular surface. This can make or break a bet, as some players may perform on clay and not on grass. Grass courts like Wimbledon are often known for being fast and slick, with a player's serve one of the biggest weapons they can hold.
