Why Matched Betting Works for Tennis
Tennis boasts endless betting markets—match winners, set handicaps, total games, tie-break specialists and more—across ATP, WTA and four Grand Slams.
Bookmakers leverage high-profile tennis tournaments with betting promotions such as:
- Money-back on final set deciders
- Enhanced odds on first-serve percentages
- Free bets for match-winner markets
- “Second serve” if a player wins after losing the first set
Matched betting exploits these by placing balanced back and lay bets:
- Back bet at the bookmaker (e.g. £10 on Emma Raducanu at odds of 4.0 to win).
- Lay bet on an exchange (e.g. against Raducanu, staking the amount that locks in profit regardless of outcome).
Your free bet value or refund becomes almost guaranteed profit, and tennis’s relentless schedule means there’s always a next opportunity.
Spotting Tennis Betting Offers with OddsFinder
The first hurdle is finding the promotions worth your time. Oddsmart’s OddsFinder scans leading bookmakers in real time to highlight:
Grand Slam new-customer free bets
Compare welcome offers across operators at the Australian Open, Roland-Garros, Wimbledon and US Open.
Matched bets
We identify bets where you can bet on both outcomes for near-guaranteed profits.
Automated Lay Bets
You can make your lay bets with 1 click if you connect your Smarkets exchange account with Oddsmart.
Filter by tournament to narrow down the highest expected value deals. OddsFinder’s dashboard shows all active tennis promos, so you can quickly prioritise those with the biggest profit potential.
Calculating Exact Bet Stakes for Tennis Bets
Precision with your stakes is vital. Never risk manual errors—use Oddsmart’s robust calculators:
Matched Betting Calculator
Enter your back stake, back odds, lay odds and exchange commission to instantly see the exact lay stake required.
Over/Under Games Calculator
Specially tuned for tennis’s unique total-games markets, suggesting sensible odds ranges.
Each-Way Games Calculator
In markets that pay out on games rather than sets, distribute your stake optimally across win/place components.
With these calculators, you’ll lock in profit whether you’re hedging a straight-sets prediction or a thrilling five-set thriller.
Automating Lay Bets on a Sports Betting Exchange
Tennis markets can swing wildly, especially in-play—so speed matters.
Our software integrates seamlessly with the Smarkets major betting exchange:
- Select your matched opportunity from OddsFinder.
- Click “Lay”, and define your maximum acceptable odds.
- Confirm, and Oddsmart’s Bet Matcher places your lay bet within seconds, even as service changes and rain delays shift the market.
For multi-leg free bets or “Best of Three” set specials, our Acca Matcher can lay off multiple legs at once, ensuring every part of your bet is hedged correctly.
You focus on the tennis; we handle the bet execution.
Monitoring Your Tennis Matched Betting Profits with Profit Tracker
Staying on top of dozens of tennis promotions over weeks—or entire seasons—can be overwhelming. Oddsmart’s Profit Tracker brings clarity by displaying:
- Net profit per bookmaker.
- ROI across surfaces (clay, grass, hard court).
- Performance by tournament: compare the Australian Open versus Wimbledon.
- Strategy breakdown: free bets, refund promos, enhanced odds.
Interactive reports reveal which tools and markets yield the best returns. Perhaps you find that mid-season Challenger events on clay offer better value than marquee grass-court tournaments. Profit Tracker ensures every pound you invest is accounted for.
These specialised matchers mean you never miss a tennis-centric edge, from the Rotterdam Open indoors to the final tie-break at Flushing Meadows.

Oddsmart’s tools do the heavy lifting, but a few best practices will keep you on track:
Manage your bankroll
Divide funds by tournament and bookmaker to avoid overexposure, especially during Grand Slam binges.
Maintain a betting diary
