Australian open offers you large number of betting options

The Australian open 2009 offers many kinds of bets like ‘Win Singles’, ‘Each-Way Singles’ and ‘Multiple Bets’. Win Singles is basically when the player you bet for wins the match. Each way singles is where you can bet on your investment by splitting it on whether the player gets a place in the match or wins it. Hence either way the person who bets will be benefiting out of it. The selection is more than one in Multiple bets and comprises of ‘Yankee’, ‘Goliath’, ‘Treble’, ‘Patent’, ‘Trixie’, ‘Canadian’, ‘Round-Robin’, ‘Heinz’, ‘Flag’ and ‘Double’. Other methods of tennis bets include ‘Outright Betting’, ‘Match and set betting’ which is based on a set of rules. The rule connected with ‘Outright Betting’ is that every tennis bet is made prior to the game and the person who bets will be able to get his money even if a situations arise where the player is not able to compete in that particular match. If a case arises where a person makes a bet according to ‘Match and Set betting’ and it so happens that the match is cancelled in the middle then the tennis bets would remain void.

In a situation where the sum total of set changes, the match bet will be valid but the set bet would go for a waste. For instance a match started of with a bet to choose from ‘best of 4 sets’ and it reduces to ‘best of 2 sets’ due to some unforeseen circumstance. After the semi final just incase bets are placed, then the bets is termed as match bets and after the start of the match if it fails to be completed then the bet would be considered void. In spite of any changes with regard to the tennis court or location the bet would still stand good. Bets that are accepted by the online sports books after the commencement of a match will be considered to be illegal irrespective of whether the match is won or lost.

Different ways of making a bet

There are many different ways to make tennis bets. Most of the bookies who fix these tennis bets use the age old method of matchups. A simple example to explain this concept of matchups would be Rafael Nadal -700/ Tom Hass +640. If a person is willing to make a tennis bet on Rafael Nadal, he would have to pay a price of about $700 and if Rafael Nadal wins then he would win the bet by getting $100 and also get his initial investment of $700 back. On the contrary if he bets on Tom Hass, he will have to pay $100 in order to win the bet prize of $ 640 and then if Tom Hass wins then he would get the entire amount back. Another method offered by online sports book for tennis bets is “sets betting”. Here for example if Rafael Nadal -1.5 -289 Tommy Haas +1.5 +249. If Nadal happens to win the match like 5 sets to 2 or 4 sets to 0, then the -1.5 sets of Nadal bet will be the prize winner. In case something contrary to this happens then the +1.5 sets of Hass bet will be the winner of the tennis bet. This ‘sets betting’ method is the one that is generally offered by the ‘Bookmakers’ sports book web site. As mentioned earlier, ‘5 dimes’ is another sports book that offers ‘Game betting’, a concept that is contrary to the one offered by ‘Bookmakers’. The concept of ‘game betting’ can be explained by stating an example of the women’s tennis association. If we are to take the example of Venus Williams -3.5 –130 -Nadia Petrova +3.5 +110. Bookmakers never like to move off from the number three, hence in case the action is sliding only to one particular side they will immediately join a money line to lift the tennis bet they favor. People who support Venus Williams will have to pay $130 in order to win the prize of $100. In order to achieve this Venus Williams would have to win more games than Nadia Petrova. This does not mean that she has to be in a situation to win the match. For example if Venus Williams gets a score of 5- 2 and 4- 5 and 4- 5 in her last two sets, she will still win the game by the calculation (5 +4+ 4= 13 and 2+5+5= 12). By a difference of one the tennis bet would be won.

Do your calculations well before betting
