Table Tennis Betting Markets & Odds

Table tennis is a sport derived from tennis but is played with small rackets and a lightweight hollow ball on a flat table divided by a net. The game is fast-paced and players need lightning-quick reactions to return serves or keep up with volleys. It has been an Olympic sport since 1988, governed by the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF). 

Table tennis is played on the world stage in large events like the Olympics, World Championships, Asian Games and Commonwealth Games. The 2023 World Table Tennis Championships, slated to take place in South Africa in May, is the biggest upcoming event in the sport. The World Championships will feature top players worldwide, and you can follow the action and place bets on the event right here at talkSPORT BET.

Here are some of the most popular table tennis betting markets: 

Match Winner

In the Match Winner bet type, you will be wagering on simply who you think will win a particular match. 

Handicap Betting

Handicap betting is worth exploring when one player is far superior to their opponent. The handicap will typically be applied to the favourite and they will need to win by that amount, or more, in order for the bet to be successful.

Over/Under Total Points

In Over/Under betting, you can wager on whether you think the total number of points scored will be greater or less than a predetermined number. This is a relatively simple bet type with only two possible outcomes.

Set Winner

In table tennis, a player who wins five sets is the winner. Through the Set Winner market, you can predict the winner of each set. 

Correct Score 

Each player needs 11 points in a set to win. You can predict the correct score of each player in a set or the overall match to win. 

Total Games

In this bet type, you will need to predict how many games will need to be played before a winner can emerge. 

Outright Winner

Predicting the outright winner of a tournament is one of the easiest ways to start betting on table tennis.
