Wimbledon betting is one of the few times during the year that tennis betting gets much attention at the sportsbook. Tennis betting is off the radar of most gamblers but Wimbledon does get a little attention. Let’s consider how to understand the odds you will see at a Wimbledon site.
Wimbledon options are offered by sportsbooks in two main ways. You have the choice of betting on a player to win the tournament at the Wimbledon site and you can bet matchups. To win a tournament you are betting a player at Wimbledon odds of 2-1 up to 100-1 or more. It is similar to betting on a golf tournament, a NASCAR race or something like the Super Bowl. You are taking one player to win the tournament just like you would take one team to win a season. This is the first option available at the Wimbledon site.
The second option you have for Wimbledon is the matchup. This is where you have one player matched up against another at the Wimbledon site. Usually these matchups don’t come out until the quarterfinals or semifinals of the tournament because early in the tournament you have a lot of lopsided matchups. In a Wimbledon matchup you are just betting a straight money line on your playing winning against the other player. You might have Player A at -150 and Player B at +130. You would be risking $150 to win $100 on Player A or the 15/10 equivalent. You would get $130 for every $100 wagered on Player B or the 10/13 equivalent.
Keep in mind in Wimbled that the best players usually win. Sometimes in certain situations you can find value going against a superstar but a lot of factors have to be in your favor to do it. Look how many tournaments Roger Federer has won in Wimbledon . Do you really want to be betting against Federer in Wimbledon ?
The goal in Wimbledon is to find the better tennis player that is reasonably priced. You can look at past history in your Wimbledon betting and sometimes find good value.
