They also take account of the server, the match format and how much work a player still has to do. If the favourite loses the first set, their odds will usually drift. How far? That depends on whether they were outplayed, how many sets remain and what the market expected before the match.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou will notice markets closing during rallies. They normally reopen once the point is over and the umpire has called the new score. That next price may be different from the one shown a few seconds earlier.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore pressing the button, stop and read the slip again.

The market only has a short window between rallies and who is serving will matter enormously.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"bvs-h3\"\u003eTotal Games\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere, the final winner is beside the point. You are backing the match or set to contain more or fewer games than the listed number. Tie-breaks and close sets tend to push the total up. A quick straight-sets result does not.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"bvs-h3\"\u003eHandicap Betting\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA games handicap gives one player a head start on the adjusted score. Back someone at +3.5 games and that amount is added to their total when the bet is settled. A player at -3.5 needs to finish at least four games ahead.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet handicaps work on the same basic idea but use sets rather than individual games.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"bvs-h3\"\u003eCorrect Set Score\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePick the final score in sets.

At 3-3, the scoreboard looks even. Yet one player might be holding to love while the other survives deuce every time. The score alone misses that.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBreaks also mean more near the end of a set. Losing serve at 1-1 hurts. Losing it at 5-4 can end the set before there is any chance to reply.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen watch the movement. Medical treatment, shorter rallies or a player stretching between points may suggest a physical problem. Do not jump too quickly, though. Tennis players show frustration for all sorts of reasons and poor body language is not proof of an injury.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDo not ignore the court beneath them. Grass tends to reward the serve. Clay gives the receiver longer. Hard court is the broad middle ground, although one venue can play much quicker than another.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCount the sets still needed. A player trailing in a five-set match has more road left than someone one set down in a best-of-three contest. Then glance at the conditions.
