Tennis trading on Traderline

Learn how to trade tennis markets on the Betfair Exchange using Traderline trading software

Tennis is one of the favorite sports among Betfair customers trading on the exchange. Attributes such as market liquidity and volatility are the main reasons for the great popularity of this sport, but there are a few other factors that astute traders take advantage of to develop their trading strategies.

In some Betfair tennis markets, the odds of a player are directly linked to the odds of another player, which means that if the odds of a player go down, the odds of the other player necessarily go up. Also, tennis markets rarely suspend, even when a point or set is won. They only suspend when the meeting is interrupted due to weather conditions or when a player quits. If one of the players needs assistance, the market does not suspend. Bearing this in mind, it is possible to anticipate the movements of the market and act quickly, taking advantage of these moments to trade with reduced risk.

Studying a Tennis match and the two players is fundamental for any tennis trading strategy. If the tennis match meets the requirements bellow, the following strategy can be applied:

• This technique is commonly used on players with certain characteristics - high percentage if service won. Given that the service player has advantage over the opponent (it starts the service), the strategy begins with a back bet on the service player to win the set (set winner market). If the service player wins the point, then a lay bet is placed on the same player before the other player starts his service point.

If the player scores the point, the odds for him to win the set should low, and therefore you can earn a few ticks with the variation of the odds. This variation is small, which means that this strategy should be applied several times to obtain a significant profit.

Using trading software to apply such a strategy is very useful. Traderline offers a set of tools that enable quick trades and a better understanding of the market. With just one click, Traderline places a bet and with another click, quickly closes the position, automatically calculating the amount you need to bet to profit whatever the outcome of the match.

Advanced tools such as tick offset and stop-loss allow the placement of limits for profits and losses that trigger Traderline to automatically place bets to close any open positions at those levels. So as soon as the market changes to the set values, you are ready to place a bet.

Traderline offers a training mode where this strategy can be tested, without risking any money.
