In-play Tennis Trading (Simple and Effective)

The In-play Tennis Trading system is something that has gained popularity online over the past few years and focuses solely on tennis betting. The core principle of this system is to trust your judgement and use in-play betting to back a selection when the odds increase after the player has fallen behind. This allows you to back a player to win a game at far bigger odds than the pre-match odds that were available, and this is where the value lies and how you can bet to make money on tennis.

How to Execute the In-play Tennis Trading

If you would like to try betting using the In-play Tennis Trading system then you need to be available to place your bets in play, but also do your studying before the game begins. The first thing to do is find someone in a game who you favour, he is your favourite to win the game, even if the bookmakers don’t agree with you.

Then you wait for the game to begin and start play. What you are hoping for here is that the player you fancy to win starts poorly and goes a set behind. This system works so that you back your player to win, but only when they are behind in sets, and because of this you will get far greater in-play odds than those that you could have taken before the game started.

Betting on Underdogs Explained

For example, if you pick out a player who is priced up at 1.20 before the start of the game, if you look at the betting when the player is one set down then they will have drifted out and could be priced up at something like 1.60.

The system works by backing players at this enhanced price, with the reasoning being that even though the player is one set down, they are at their best value when at this stage. Instead of taking the shorter odds before the game begins, you take the odds on them to win after they have gone behind.

This is because the market is slightly inaccurate due to recency bias at this stage because the opposing player has won a set, their odds to win are cut more dramatically than they should be because this is something that has just happened.

It is said by those behind the system that when a tennis favourite loses the first set, they go on to win the second set more than 85% of the time, regardless of the final outcome of the game. At this stage, the game would then be 1-1 and the odds would more than likely return to something like what they were before the start of play on the pre-match betting markets.

By jumping in and placing your bet at the right time, which is when your player is behind, you are taking advantage of the best possible odds and with these, you have enough in your favour to make a long term profit.
