Tennis Betting Protocol v2.0

Market Mechanics

Tennis is unique because it offers two distinct tours (ATP/WTA) and various court surfaces (Hard, Clay, Grass) that drastically alter win probabilities. The primary markets are Match Winner, Set Betting, and Game Totals.

11-MONTH SEASON ATP / WTA

Match Winner (Moneyline)

The purest 2-way market. No draws. Retirement rules vary by book (some void bets if a set isn't completed, others pay if 1 ball is served).

> Alcaraz: -180
> Sinner: +150
// Bet $180 on Alcaraz to win $100.

Set Handicap

Betting on the score in sets. In Best-of-3 matches, -1.5 means winning 2-0. +1.5 means winning at least 1 set.

> Djokovic: -1.5 Sets (-110)
> Medvedev: +1.5 Sets (-110)
// Medvedev wins if he wins match OR loses 1-2.

Total Games (Over/Under)

Wagering on the total number of games played. Heavily influenced by serve dominance. E.g. A 7-6, 7-6 match has 26 games.

Result: 7-6, 6-4
23 (OVER WINS)

Player Props (High Alpha)

Isolating specific match stats. Great for leveraging knowledge of surface speed (e.g. Grass = more Aces).

Total Aces Service dominance.
1st Set Winner Early match momentum.
Tiebreak? Will a set go to 7-6.

Futures Markets

Betting on tournament winners. The Grand Slams (Aus Open, French Open, Wimbledon, US Open) have the highest liquidity.

> Wimbledon Winner: Alcaraz (+175)
> To Reach Final: Sinner (+110)
// Odds lock at time of bet.

System FAQ

What happens if a player retires?

Rules vary by bookmaker. Some void the bet if the match doesn't finish, others pay out if at least one set is completed.

Does Game Handicap include Tiebreaks?

Yes. Handicaps are calculated based on the total sum of games won by each player at the end of the match.
