BETDAQ TENNIS: With the advancements in technology and the rise of mobile apps, it is now easier than ever before to bet and trade on a number of different sports. Some do just that from track-side.
Football and horse racing often take the lime-light but others have become extremely popular amongst traders, namely tennis.
The media, however, are not playing their part in making tennis betting any easier and it doesn’t take long to notice where they are going wrong in their predictions; TV, radio, online, and more, are all very quick to choose whoever has the better head-to-head record to be the winner but this isn’t necessarily always the case.
When betting on BETDAQ’s exchange there is far more opportunity, you don’t even need the winner! Just a good understanding as to how the match is likely to develop over the short-term. By doing this it’s quite possible to trade out for a profit sooner. Looking at the factors below will give you some ideas as to how you can achieve this.
Key factors that affect a tennis match;
Scheduling – This is a key component for every tennis player yet a factor that often isn’t taken into consideration; some of the best players play tournaments every week, half the world apart. The prices offered in tennis are perfect if every player is always at peak physical condition but we know better than that. If one player has been preparing for a match for a week and the other has recently flown in after finishing a different tournament, no matter the quality of the two, this will play a part both physically and mentally.
Fatigue Through Success – Some of the best players on the planet have low odds for obvious reasons but the best players go late-on in tournaments. This means that they have less time to prepare for first round matches because they are still recovering from the tournament before and this needs to be taken into account.
A recent example showed a top player as she won a tournament and then retired in the first set of her first round match in the next tournament. Prices are offered with full fitness in mind; this isn’t always the case.
Recent Injuries – If a player has been injured but then pulls through and decides to play at the last moment, the market will rapidly change and this is a great opportunity to make money (as well as lose it). Similarly, if a player is making a comeback after a long-term injury, the prices will generally reflect this. Lower ranked players are a good example as they may not have the financial freedom to sit out any longer and may decide to step back on to the court sooner than recommended.
So these are the real factors that should be considered before deciding to put some money one way or the other but there are some other ‘myths’ that should be discounted like the ‘head-to-head’ record.
- A player’s home tournament, although somewhat sentimental, does not mean that they will play any better than anywhere else in the world; many studies into the ATP tour have shown this.
- Form doesn’t necessarily tell you anything as many players that have been predicted to rise to the top just because they beat one of the best, have simply fallen away.
- Finally, despite being popular, it isn’t necessarily true that a huge underdog will go on to lose their next match after a ‘giant-killing’. The result after such a match has long-been unpredictable and untrustworthy.
