With a good show in the best odds category, great event coverage and deep betting markets as well as adequate maximum payout levels, BetVictor is the overall best bookie for tennis.

If you want to hone your betting and profit opportunities further, take a look through each category, and see which bookmaker comes out best for each.

Which bookmaker covers the most tennis events?

The big tennis tournaments are well covered across most bookmakers. If you cannot find a smaller tournament from any of the bookies then try the Matchbook  exchange. The liquidity may not be great but you should be able to at least get something on.

BetVictor are normally excellent at pricing up as many markets as possible on tennis. For the French Open they were offering 7 different options for the games handicap market, whereas no one else offered any more than 3 different options. 

For French Open matches BetVictor were generally offering 37 markets whereas Ladbrokes had 24, Coral had 21, and Bet365 were only offering 13.


Which bookmaker offers the most tennis markets?

All of the major bookmakers will offer all of the major markets on tennis events and matches but there do tend to be some markets offered only a few bookmakers. 

BetVictor are normally excellent at pricing up as many markets as possible on tennis. 

Even on the small tournaments (non Grand Slam), they excelled, if you bet on a smaller/niche market or favour handicap betting try BV first. 

What are the different bookmaker rules for player retirement

This is one of the most important bookmaker settlement rules to note for anyone who bets on tennis matches. It's a bit of a sticky subject with some bookies customer services departments often not clear on their own rules. 

You may think the fairest thing to do is to declare the player who progresses to the next round as the winner for betting purposes, but that isn't always what happens.

Best Bookmaker if Betting on the Favourite

If you are betting on tennis favourites you probably don't want the risk of a short priced bet losing because that player picks up an injury during the match. Therefore we have created a table for guidance on this rule.

BetwayAll bets void unless a player is disq during the match
William HillAll bets void if the match isn't completed
BoylesportsAll bets void if the match isn't completed
10betAll bets void if the match isn't completed


Best Bookmaker if betting on the underdog

Those of us who bet on outsiders in tennis do not want a match declared void if the fav retires, you have risked your money on the outsider and deserve to be paid, no one wants to miss out on a big payday if a player retires.   

Therefore these bookmakers, who are less likely to declare a match void if a player retires during the match, should be considered:
