Handicap Betting on Tennis is the most complex type of Tennis betting, because bookies do not base the bets on who won the sets, but rather counts how many games the players win, add them and apply the handicap.

To answer more precisely the question how to bet on Tennis, we will provide you an example to further elaborate. For example in a game featuring Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray, and Murray received a 4.0 handicap. If the match ends as 6-3, 6-4, 6-7, 2-6, 6-4, for Murray, the games won by the players will be added. Murray will have won 26 games against Nadal’s 25, but those who bet for Nadal will still win the game because Murray’s 26 games will be reduced by 4.0 and become 22.
