Tennis betting at cricex — from Grand Slams to live markets
Bet on every match across the world's top tennis tournaments — including match winner, set score, handicap and in-play markets. Every point makes your betting experience more engaging.
How tennis betting works
Tennis is an individual sport — two players (singles) or two pairs (doubles) face each other on the court. This simplicity makes tennis appealing for betting, because there is no draw in any match — someone always wins. Bet outcomes are determined by sets, games, or even individual points.
Typically, a Grand Slam men's singles match is played over five sets, while most other events are best of three sets. Understanding this structure is important, because in the match winner market only the final winner counts — not who was leading at any point during the match.
To bet on tennis at cricex, you first choose a market, then place your bet after checking the odds or price you prefer. Pre-match bets can be placed before a match starts, and live or in-play betting is also available while the match is in progress. For more details, visit the cricex Bet betting platform page.
Remember, betting is a form of entertainment. No strategy guarantees a win — so bet within your means and enjoy the experience.
Popular tennis betting markets
Each market has its own rules and variety. Below is a brief overview of six popular markets.
Match Winner
The simplest market — pick who will win the match. Example: if player A wins, you get ৳2,500 back (on a ৳1,000 bet); if player A loses, you lose ৳1,000.
Set Betting
Predict the exact set score of the match, such as 2-0 or 2-1. Getting it right gives you higher odds.
Game Handicap
The weaker competitor is given a virtual advantage to level the match. Example: if player A is given a +2.5 game handicap, they win the bet even if they play two fewer games in the match.
Total Games Over/Under
Choose whether the total number of games in the match will be over or under a set number. You can participate in this market even if you are not sure about the result.
First Set Winner
Bet only on who wins the first set. This is separate from the overall match result — a useful market if you want to back a player who starts strongly.
Multi Bet
A combination bet linking multiple tennis matches or markets together. If all selections are correct you get a large return; if even one is wrong you lose the entire bet.
How to read and understand odds
Odds are essentially a number that tells you how much you will get back if your bet wins. The same odds can be written in three different formats: decimal, fractional and American. cricex generally uses the decimal format, which is the easiest to read.
The example below shows the odds for player A winning in all three formats, along with the return on a ৳1,000 bet.
Pre-match vs live betting
Tennis betting has two main time windows — before the match starts and while the match is in progress.
Placing a bet before the match begins. More markets are available at this time and odds are relatively stable. You have the chance to factor in the court surface (hard, clay or grass), weather conditions and both players' recent form before making a decision.
Odds change after every game or point while the match is ongoing. A player who drops a set may recover mentally and come back — these shifts are reflected in live betting. However, there is very little time to make decisions in this market, so you need to follow the match closely.

Useful tips and common mistakes
If you want to enjoy betting as entertainment, a few basic things are worth keeping in mind.
Understand the court surface
The pace and style of play differ on hard, clay and grass courts. A player who performs well on clay will not necessarily produce the same results on grass. Consider the court surface before placing a bet.
Don't limit yourself to one market
Rather than only betting on the match winner, try markets like set betting or over/under. Variety also builds experience.
Set a budget
Decide in advance how much you will spend per day or per week. Increasing your bets after a loss to recover what you lost is a common mistake — avoid it.
Be careful with multi bets
If three selections have decimal odds of 1.50, 1.80 and 1.90, the combined odds are 1.50 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.13. On a ৳100 bet you need all three to be correct to get ৳513 back — if one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Make decisions with a clear head, not on emotion
Betting on your favourite player just because they are playing is not a sound reason. Always treat betting as entertainment. For more on responsible play, read the Responsible Gaming page.
No rushing in live betting
Odds in in-play markets change fast. To place the right bet at the right time, you need to follow the match attentively. Don't bet on guesswork without watching the score.
Remember
Betting is a form of entertainment. It is not a source of income and no strategy guarantees a win. Stay within your means.
