Trade On Sports Tennis – New Review

28th January 2025

We are starting a new review today of a tennis betting service called Trade On Sports Tennis (or Trade On Tennis if you prefer the slightly shorter version).

Regular followers will know we have tested out quite a few of Trade On Sports (TOS) strategies over the years, including a number in our main review back in 2020.

Whilst we have mainly focused on their football strategies, some of their most impressive results have actually come in tennis. 

There is a huge amount of data available as part of their tennis service, including the Trade on Sports model price and the players projected hold & break numbers. These are match-up specific, so change daily depending on who the opponent is. All of this data can be used to trade and bet on tennis.

However, the most impressive part of their tennis betting service for us – and what we will focus on in this review – are their “red lays.”

These are their selections for players to lay based on a rating system they have developed. 

These ratings are based on factors such as: 

  • Expected hold
  • Service break opponent
  • Break back chance
  • First to lead
  • First broken

They cover both the ATP and WTA tours, although looking at past results the WTA results have been much better so those may be the ones to focus on. 

The selections are sent out via Telegram and you simply lay the player named. Couldn’t be much simpler than that! 

The WTA results for 2024 showed a profit of 28 points if laying to win 1 point, or 46 points if laying to lose a fixed liability of 1 point. 

Going back further, the results show a profit of 118 points from 2016 to 2023, or 236 points if laying to lose a fixed liability of 1 point over the same period. 

These are very impressive and consistent results over a long period of time, a true mark of quality. Particularly so when you consider they are in highly liquid main match odds market of ATP and WTA matches, and bets can be placed on Betfair. 

To be honest we haven’t seen many tennis services with better long-term results so without wanting to jinx things, this is a review we have been meaning to do for a while and are pleased to finally be carrying out. 

As long-term members of TOS we have proofed these tennis bets going back to last summer, so we will include those results in our trial. 

We will also have a look at odds availability, as always. 

So we will get the review underway today and will report back here soon on how things are going. 

In the meantime you can check out Trade On Sports Tennis for yourself here.

(Just to note in case you were wondering, the red lays are available under the Silver Tennis subscription of TOS). 

 

 

How to Bet on Tennis Over/Under: A Complete Guide

Tennis is one of the most engaging sports to bet on, with many markets to suit different strategies and preferences.

One of the most popular is over/under betting, where you bet on whether a particular aspect of a match—such as total games or total sets—will be higher or lower than a given number.

Looking to learn how to bet on tennis over/under? This guide will break down the basics, as well as provide strategies and tips to help you make informed bets.

What Is Over/Under Betting in Tennis?

Over/under betting, also known as totals betting, is when you predict whether a particular statistic in a match will be over or under a number set by the bookmaker.

This is most commonly applied to the total number of games in a match, but can also include total sets or even player-specific totals.

For example, in a match between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz, a bookmaker might set the total games line at 22.5 games.

If you bet on over 22.5 games, you need the match to have 23 or more games. If you bet on under 22.5 games, the match must end with 22 or fewer games for you to win.

Here are some examples of what that means in practice: 

Example 1: Match Finishes Under 22.5 Games (Bet Wins on ‘Under’)

  • Final Score: Djokovic wins 6-3, 6-4
  • Total Games Played: 6+3 + 6+4 = 19 games
  • Outcome: Since 19 games is less than 22.5, an ‘under 22.5 games’ bet wins.

Example 2: Match Finishes Over 22.5 Games (Bet Wins on ‘Over’)

  • Final Score: Alcaraz wins 7-5, 6-4
  • Total Games Played: 7+5 + 6+4 = 22 games
  • Outcome: Since 22 games is still under 22.5, an ‘under’ bet wins, but only just!

Example 3: Match Finishes Over 22.5 Games (Bet Wins on ‘Over’)

  • Final Score: Djokovic wins 7-6, 6-4
  • Total Games Played: 7+6 + 6+4 = 23 games
  • Outcome: Since 23 games is more than 22.5, an ‘over 22.5 games’ bet wins.

Example 4: Match Finishes Well Over 22.5 Games (Bet Wins on ‘Over’)

  • Final Score: Alcaraz wins 6-4, 3-6, 7-5
  • Total Games Played: 6+4 + 3+6 + 7+5 = 31 games
  • Outcome: Over 22.5 games bet wins easily because the total is much higher.

Key Takeaways

  • If the match finishes in straight sets with fewer games, the under bet is more likely to win.
  • If the match is tight, with long sets or goes to a third set, the over bet is more likely to win.
  • Tiebreaks and close sets tend to push the total over the set line.

Now let’s take a look at some other over/under bets in tennis. 

Types of Over/Under Bets in Tennis

There are various other types of over/under bets in tennis, including: 

  1. Total Games Over/Under – Betting on the total number of games in a match.
  2. Total Sets Over/Under – Betting on whether a match will have more or fewer sets than a given number.
  3. Player Total Games Over/Under – Betting on whether a specific player will win more or fewer games than the set line.
  4. First Set Total Games Over/Under – Wagering on the number of games played in just the first set.

Here are some examples of over/under bets in tennis covering various markets and scenarios:

Match Over/Under Market Bet Example Outcome
Novak Djokovic vs Carlos Alcaraz Total Games Over/Under 22.5 Over 22.5 Games If the match has 23+ games, the bet wins.
Iga Swiatek vs Aryna Sabalenka Total Sets Over/Under 2.5 Under 2.5 Sets If the match finishes in two sets, the bet wins.
Jannik Sinner vs Daniil Medvedev First Set Total Games Over/Under 10.5 Over 10.5 Games If the first set has 11+ games (e.g. 7-5 or 7-6), the bet wins.
Alexander Zverev vs Stefanos Tsitsipas Player Total Games Over/Under 12.5 Over 12.5 Games for Zverev If Zverev wins 13+ games, the bet wins.

 

How to Bet on Tennis Over/Under: What to Consider

To win at over/under betting in tennis, you need to consider the following:

1. Players’ Playing Styles

Some players have aggressive playing styles that result in quick points and shorter matches, while others like long rallies that extend games. For example:

  • Big servers like John Isner or Reilly Opelka have longer matches because they hold serve frequently, which means tiebreaks. That’s more likely to be over.
  • Baseliners like Daniil Medvedev and Jannik Sinner tend to get involved in long rallies, which can also mean longer matches if both players can’t break serve.

2. Head-to-Head Record

Looking at past matches between two players can be helpful. If two players have had tight matches with multiple sets in the past, over is often a good bet.

If one player has dominated previous encounters with straight-set wins, under might be the way to go.

3. Surface

The surface plays a big role in how long a match lasts:

  • Clay courts (e.g., Roland Garros) – Matches have longer rallies, more games and sets. Over can often be good on clay in the right match-up.
  • Grass courts (e.g., Wimbledon) – Points are typically shorter, with quicker matches and fewer games, so under is often good on grass.
  • Hard courts (e.g., US Open, Australian Open) – The surface can go either way, it often depends on player styles.

4. Match Format (Best of Three vs Best of Five Sets)

  • ATP and WTA tournaments are best of three sets, which is important to bear in mind when betting on over/under markets.
  • Grand Slam men’s matches on the other hand are best of five sets, so more games and more chances for the over to hit.

5. Player Fatigue and Fitness

  • If a player is tired or injured, they may struggle to compete for long, so it could be a quick match (under).
  • If both players are fresh and evenly matched, the match could be competitive and longer (over).

How to Bet on Tennis Over/Under

Over/under betting in tennis is a simple yet enthralling way to wager on matches without needing to predict the winner.

Instead, you focus on whether the total number of games, sets, or other match statistics will go over or under a bookmaker’s set line.

This type of betting is popular because it allows you to take advantage of match dynamics, playing styles, and conditions rather than relying solely on picking a winner.

Here are some scenarios to consider when betting on over/under betting in tennis: 

1. Tight Match-Ups

When two players are evenly matched, it’s often longer matches with more games. If both have a strong serve and weak return, there can often be tiebreaks and three-set battles.

2. Player Form and Motivation

A player out of form may not be able to hold serve, so it could be a quick match (under). If both players are in form, the match may be competitive and longer (over).

3. Live Betting for Better Insight

Watching the match live allows you to see how the players perform in real-time. If the match starts with long service holds and long rallies, betting the over live might be a good option, although the odds for that may have already dropped of course.

If one player dominates early, under might be the way to go.

4. Weather

Windy conditions can mean more breaks of serve and less games. Fast conditions (indoor courts) often mean quick service holds and longer matches.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Even experienced bettors can make errors when betting on tennis over/under markets.

Understanding the most common mistakes can help you avoid unnecessary losses and improve your overall strategy.

❌ Not considering Player Match-Ups

Not all players perform the same against different opponents. A player who dominates weaker opponents can win in straight sets (under) but struggle against higher ranked opponents (over).

❌ Not checking recent form

A player who can’t hold serve is more likely to lose quickly, which could mean the under bet landing. Always check their recent matches.

❌ Overlooking tournament conditions

Some tournaments have unique conditions. For example, the Australian Open often has extreme heat, which means fatigue and quicker matches (under), while Roland Garros has slow clay courts which means long rallies and longer matches (over).

Conclusion

Betting on tennis over/under can be a good strategy if done right. By looking at player styles, head-to-head records, surface conditions and other factors you can make informed bets rather than just trust to luck.

Remember, there are also opportunities with live betting where you can react to the flow of the match. And as always, bet responsibly and track your results to improve over time.

Now that you know how to bet on tennis over/under, why not try it out with the next big tennis tournament? 🎾

Lucrative Rackets – Full Review

 

Lucrative Rackets is a tennis betting service launched in early 2024 by the team behind Lucrative MMA Betting, which previously passed a trial here at Honest Betting Reviews with flying colours.

Tips are provided across various tennis tours, including down to the lower levels of Challenger and ITF events.

Most of the bets are in the match odds market but some side markets such as set score, handicap and the like are used. 

Bets are sent via the Telegram messenger app. 

We were hopeful that this service would deliver strong results, and overall, we are pleased to say that it has performed well.

During our four-month trial, Lucrative Rackets generated +17 points profit at a solid 59% strike rate and a 12% ROI.

These are commendable numbers in tennis betting, where achieving consistent profitability can be challenging.

Our Experience During the Trial

Our major concern with this service was price availability however.

Just over half the bets during our trial were in Challenger/ITF events and over half were in doubles matches, with quite a small proportion in singles ATP/WTA events.

There were some major odds movements on these more illiquid markets. For instance, prices could drop significantly within minutes on ITF doubles and Challenger-level matches. 

Betting on these markets also brings the risk of account restrictions from the bookies and these markets are not typically available on the exchanges – or have very little liquidity if they are available. 

So we do have a question mark about how practical this service is to follow. Certainly if you are following the service you need to be lightning fast to get the bets on and be prepared for some possible account restrictions. 

It is also worth noting that on the – albeit limited – sample size of our trial, the profit for the trial did come from the Challenger/ITF events, whilst the ATP/WTA events ended up breaking even. 

As we say, this was a relatively small sample size so may not be the case in the long run, but is something to note from our trial in any event. 

Overall, we are prepared to give Lucrative Rackets a narrow PASSED rating as it did achieve positive results during our trial. 

The strike rate, ROI, and overall bank growth were all commendable and clearly the tipster does  have an edge in the markets tipped in. 

However, this does come with a major health warning that a lot of the markets tipped in are illiquid and odds crash quickly. 

So it is important to bear this in mind and be prepared to act quickly when receiving the tips if you want to get close to the advised prices. 

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: The selections are sent out via the Telegram messenger app. There is normally plenty of time to get the bets on and with around 1-2 bets per day on average the workload is pretty manageable. 

Availability of prices: As discussed above, price availability was an issue during our trial, with over half the tips coming in illiquid, lower tier events and doubles matches.

The first thing you will need is a good spread of bookmaker accounts (especially Bet365, but also the likes of Ladbrokes, DraftKings, Neds, Bovada & 10Bet would be useful), secondly to be able to act very quickly once tips are posted on Telegram, and thirdly be prepared that you may suffer account restrictions if using soft books like Bet365.  

Strike rate: The strike rate for our trial was impressive at 59% and we didn’t experience any extended drawdowns during our trial which was good. 

Advised Betting Bank: A 100 point betting bank is recommended for following the service. That seems fairly reasonable to us and was never in jeopardy during our trial. 

Subscription costs: The subscription costs at the time of writing are £67, so this is probably a service for serious bettors in the main. 

 

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED

Lucrative Rackets delivered a solid performance in our trial, generating +17 points profit, a 12% ROI, and a 59% strike rate.

However, the heavy focus on illiquid markets like ITF and Challenger doubles matches makes it tough to obtain advised prices, and account restrictions could be an issue.

While the tipster appears to have an edge, success will largely depend on how quickly you can place bets and whether you have access to the necessary bookmaker accounts.

Overall, we are giving Lucrative Rackets a narrow PASSED rating, but with a strong caution regarding price availability.

Lucrative Rackets – Results Update

23rd December 2024

Tennis tipster Lucrative Rackets has continued their good run, with a profit of 6 points made at advised prices since our last update. 

That means they are now 15 points up for our trial overall at advised prices. 

You can view full results here. 

As mentioned last time, prices tend to get hit pretty hard on the more illiquid markets such as ITF doubles matches. 

You have to move very fast if you want to get anything like the advised prices on those bets. 

Some of the tips are in more mainstream ATP and WTA matches where the odds are more achievable however, so it’s a question of just doing the best you can on each tip with this service really. 

It’s a quiet period for this service at the moment with no bets in December as the tennis season has wound down, but they will be back up and running again in January for the events down under.

Lucrative Rackets – Results Update

5th September 2024

It’s been a slightly slow start to our trial of tennis tipster Lucrative Rackets, with a loss of 4 points made for our trial to date. 

You can view full results here. 

We have found issues here with price availability, as some of the bets are on very illiquid markets such as ITF doubles matches. 

The odds on those bets go very quickly and can move in quite significantly. 

For example, a tip given at 1.83 can move into 1.66 in a matter of minutes or a tip given at 1.66 can hit 1.4.

So if following the service you either have to act extremely quickly or accept you may not achieve the advised odds on some of the bets.

Lucrative Rackets – New Review

5th September 2024

We are starting a new review today of a tennis betting service called Lucrative Rackets

This is a service that started up on 1st January this year and it comes from the same team behind the Lucrative MMA Betting Tipster service, which passed a trial here at HBR with flying colours back in 2022. 

The new tennis service has produced some impressive results so far, with 92 points profit made at a strike rate of 60% and a return on investment (ROI) of 18%

Those are really strong stats in tennis betting, where an ROI of between 5 and 10% is typically considered very good. 

The tips come in a variety of tours, including the main ATP and WTA Tours but also the smaller ITF events and in doubles matches as well as singles. 

A variety of markets are also used, including match odds, game handicaps, set betting, breaks of serve and more.

Members of the service receive the tips via the Telegram app, with advised odds and lowest acceptable odds included. 

We have been looking out for a good tennis tipster for a while so let’s hope this one can deliver the goods under live trial conditions. 

We started receiving tips on 30th August so will record results from then. 

As usual we will update results here as we go along so you can see how they are getting on.

In the meantime you can check out Lucrative Rackets for yourself here. 

 

 

 

Set Spread in Tennis Betting: A Complete Guide

Tennis is one of the most popular sports to bet on, with loads of markets to choose from. The set spread is a favourite among experienced punters looking for specialist markets to bet on.

But what does “set spread” mean in tennis betting and how can you use it to your advantage?

In this guide we’ll cover everything you need to know about set spread betting in tennis from the basics to advanced tips.


What is Set Spread in Tennis Betting?

The set spread is a market where you bet on the margin of sets between two players in a match.

Instead of just betting on who will win, you’re predicting whether a player will win by a certain number of sets or if their opponent will keep the match closer than the spread suggests.

For example, let’s say Carlos Alcaraz was playing a lower ranked player such as Tallon Griekspoor:

  • If the set spread is -1.5 for Alcaraz, you’re betting he will win by two sets (e.g. 2-0 in a best of three or 3-0 or 3-1 in a best of five). That’s because if he wins 2-0 for example, then even taking away the -1.5 set handicap, Alcaraz would still win (in effect 0.5-0 in sets).
  • If the set spread is +1.5 for Griekspoor, you’re betting he will win the match, or only lose by one set (e.g. 1-2 in a best of three or 2-3 in a best of five). So if he loses 2-1 for example, then with the +1.5 handicap, he would in effect win 2.5-2 in sets.

This adds an extra layer of strategy to tennis betting as it’s focused on the competitiveness of the match rather than just the winner.


How Is Set Spread Different to Game Spread?

The set spread is based on the number of sets won, whereas the game spread is based on the total number of games won by each player.

For example:

  • In set betting you are backing a player to win once the set handicap is taken into account. The number of games won by each player is irrelevant.
  • Conversely, in game handicap betting a player might lose in sets but could still win the game handicap (e.g. if they lost 7-6, 0-6, 7-5 for example).

Both require analysis but set spread can be useful when there’s a clear favourite as it often offers better odds than a straight match winner bet.

 

Find out who the Best Tennis Tipsters are here.


Why Bet on the Set Spread?

Set spread has:

  1. Better Odds: Backing a favourite to cover the spread gives you higher odds than betting on them to win.
  2. More Value: If you think an underdog can keep the match close, betting on them with a positive set spread gives you value.
  3. Strategic Depth: This market allows you to use your knowledge of players’ weaknesses and playing styles.

Odds for Set Spread Betting

Let’s take a look at the typical odds for set spread betting with a couple of examples.

Example 1: A. Shevchenko vs. P. Carreno-Busta

In a match that was expected to be closely contested between A. Shevchenko and P. Carreno-Busta in the United Cup, the odds were as follows:

Bet Type Odds for Carreno-Busta Odds for Shevchenko
Match Winner 1.73 2.10
-1.5 Handicap 2.75 3.60
+1.5 Handicap 1.29 1.48

In this closely contested match, the odds for either player to win with a -1.5 handicap were high, while the odds for either to win with a +1.5 handicap were low, under 1.5 in both cases.

Example 2: A. Zverev vs. U. Humbert

In a match with a strong favourite between A. Zverev and U. Humbert at the ATP Paris tournament, the odds were:

Bet Type Odds for Zverev Odds for Humbert
Match Winner 1.40 3.00
-1.5 Handicap 2.20 5.80
+1.5 Handicap 1.15 1.70

Zverev won the match 2-0, meaning bets on him with both the -1.5 and +1.5 handicaps would have been successful.

The -1.5 handicap can be particularly useful if you think a favourite is likely to dominate their opponent and win in straight sets.

 

What to Consider When Betting on the Set Spread

To win at set spread tennis betting you need to analyse the match thoroughly.

Here’s what to consider:

1. Form and Fitness

Recent form and fitness plays a big part in how competitive a match will be.

A player coming back from injury or struggling with fatigue may not win or even keep sets close.

2. H2H

Past matches between the two players can be useful.

Some players have a good record against certain opponents which can affect the likelihood of a one sided or close match.

3. Surface

The surface (e.g. grass, clay, hard court) can have a big impact on a player’s performance.

For example a clay court specialist may struggle on grass so a closer match is more likely.

4. Match Format

The format (best of three or best of five sets) affects set spread betting.

In Grand Slam events where matches are best of five, favourites have more chance to cover a negative spread.

5. Mental Strength

Some players thrive under pressure, others crumble in big moments.

Assess a player’s mental toughness to see if they’ll win easily or just scrape through a close match.

Learn how to trade like a pro with this complete tennis trading package.


Set Spread Examples

Let’s look at a couple of examples.

Example 1

  • Jannik Sinner: World No. 1, heavy favourite.
  • Hady Habib: Outside top 50, underdog.
  • Set Spread: Sinner -1.5, Habib +1.5.

If you back Sinner -1.5, he needs to win 2-0 for your bet to win. If Habib wins a set or the match your bet loses.

Example 2

  • A match between Laslo Djere and Alex de Minaur at the French Open.
  • Laslo Djere: Clay court player.
  • Alex de Minaur: Grass court specialist.
  • Set Spread: Djere -2.5, de Minaur +2.5.

If you back de Minaur +2.5 he can lose 2-3 or 1-3 and your bet will win. But if Djere wins 3-0 your bet loses.


Tips for Set Spread Betting

When it comes to set spread betting, preparation is everything.

Here are some practical tips to help you make informed decisions and improve your chances of success:

1. Specialise in Certain Tournaments

By focusing on certain tournaments you can build up expertise. Grand Slams are often more predictable due to the best of five format.

If you notice a player tends to dominate early rounds in Slams but struggles in smaller tournaments, you can adjust your set spread bets accordingly.

For example back them to cover a -2.5 spread in the first round of Wimbledon but not in ATP 250s.

2. Use Statistics

Use data to make decisions. Platforms like Flashscore or the ATP and WTA sites have loads of info on player performance – serve percentages, break points saved, win rates on different surfaces.

For example if a player has a high first serve percentage and dominates service games they are more likely to win sets convincingly so are good for a -1.5 spread bet.

3. Live Betting

For example if a favourite starts slowly and loses the first set bookmakers may adjust the set spread.

If you think they will recover and win 2-1 you can back them mid-match and get good value.

4. Shop Around

Not all bookmakers offer the same odds or spreads. Compare across multiple platforms to get the best value for your bets.

For example one bookmaker might have Player A at -1.5 1.80 and another at 1.90. Over time these small differences add up.

5. Bankroll Management

Discipline is key to long term success. Set a staking plan, for example betting a fixed percentage of your bankroll on each bet.

Don’t chase losses as this can lead to poor decisions and unnecessary risk.

For example if your bankroll is £500 you might decide to stake 2% (£10) on each bet so you can ride out losing runs without depleting your funds.


Don’t Make These Mistakes

Before placing your bets, it’s important to be aware of potential pitfalls.

Avoiding these common mistakes can save you from unnecessary losses:

1. Ignore Match Context

Player injuries, fatigue, external conditions (weather etc) can have a huge impact on the outcome. Betting without considering these can lead to bad decisions.

For example backing a player at -1.5 without knowing they’ve just played a 5 setter the day before could lead to losses. 

2. Overestimating Favourites

Even top players sometimes don’t cover a set spread against a good opponent. Assuming a favourite will win every match is a common mistake.

For example a heavy favourite might win 2-1 but not cover -1.5 because their opponent played well in one set.

3. Underestimating Underdogs

Backing underdogs with a positive spread can be great value especially in close matches.

For example if an underdog has a +2.5 spread in a best-of-five match they only need to win one set or lose 2-3 for your bet to win.

Ignoring these opportunities means missing out on good bets.

4. Not Adapting Mid Match

Live betting is a powerful tool but not adapting to the match dynamics can cost you.

If you backed a player at -1.5 and they are struggling consider hedging or looking for other in-play opportunities.


Conclusion – Set Spread Betting in Tennis

Set spread tennis betting is a fun market with plenty of opportunities for the smart punter.

By understanding this market and doing your research you’ll be more likely to win.

Remember to consider form, surface and head to head and always gamble responsibly.

Good luck with your tennis betting and please remember to always gamble responsibly.

It is much like an accumulator but doing it manually because the bets are over a few days.

The aim in each sequence of bets is to turn 1pt into either 10pts or 20pts for each attempt. Normally it takes 4 or 5 winning bets in a row to successfully complete a sequence.

If a sequence is completed – or loses – you go back to the beginning and start with a 1 point stake.

In that sense it is good because you aren’t risking more than one point of your bank for each sequence – that is the most you can lose for each sequence. So it’s not like loss-recovery (aka martingale) in which stakes can become ridiculous quite quickly.

In any event, for the purposes of our review we recorded the results at both the advised staking and 1 point level stakes, to aid comparison and to be sure the tips are profitable in themselves and not just because of the staking system.

The bets come in a variety of markets including match odds, handicaps, over/under games and more. The vast majority of bets are on the main ATP and WTA Tours. 

We ran an extended 18 month review which gave us a very good sample size of 409 bets.

At the end of our trial, The Rolling Aces finished with a commendable 93 points profit at their advised rolling staking. 

That was achieved with a high strike rate of 61% and a solid return on investment of 9%

At one-point level staking, the returns were a little more modest, with a profit of 11 points made over the course of our trial.

So really it looks like if you are following this service then the rolling staking is the way to go.

As mentioned above, we don’t see this as a problem as it is not loss-recovery staking or really any more risky than one point level staking. 

The profits were pretty steady during the trial, as you can see here: 

Overall then we are happy to award The Rolling Aces a PASSED rating. 

It finished just under the 100 point profit mark which is good going and was solidly in profit for pretty much our entire trial. 

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: The selections are sent out by e-mail, at different times of day depending on when the matches are. Either way there is plenty of time to get the bets on and with around 1 bet per day on average the workload is very manageable. 

Availability of prices: We didn’t notice a huge impact on prices so you should be able to get close to the recorded results without too much problem.   

Strike rate: The strike rate for our trial was good at 61% so there was a reasonably steady rate of returns and drawdowns were kept to a minimum.  

Advised Betting Bank: A 150 point bank is recommended for following the service which seems reasonable to us and was never in jeopardy during the course of our 18 month trial.

Subscription costs: The current subscription costs at the time of writing are £0.99 for the first ten days then £37 per month.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED

It’s been quite a while since we passed a tennis service here at Honest Betting Reviews as good ones are hard to come by. 

So we are pleased to see The Rolling Aces come through an extended 18 month trial with a commendable 93 points profit at advised staking. 

With decent metrics of a 61% strike rate and 9% ROI, it’s a clear PASSED rating from us for this innovative tennis tipster.

The Rolling Aces – New Review

25th January 2022

Today we are starting a new trial of a tennis tipster called The Rolling Aces.

Over the years we have come across very few high-quality tennis betting services. In fact to date we only have one approved tennis service – Tennis Goldmine. 

Yet tennis is one of the most gambled-on sports in the world and with matches pretty much year-round it does offer lots of opportunities to bet on. 

So we are always eager to check out any promising new tennis services and The Rolling Aces looks like it fits the bill. 

It’s only been proofing to the Betting Gods site since August last year but has made a profit every month since then, with total profit of over 110 points made so far.

That has been achieved at a massive return on investment (ROI) of 42% and an excellent strike rate of 66%

The bets tend to come in more niche markets like handicaps, number of games, breaks of serve etc. 

There is a twist with this service though and that comes with the staking. In essence they roll on the stakes and profit from the previous bet. So much like an accumulator but doing it manually because the bets are over a few days so it wouldn’t be possible to place them in an acca as the odds wouldn’t be available. 

It’s a little unusual to be honest and not a staking system we have seen used too often. It’s not inherently risky though because you are starting with one point stakes and only rolling on previous gains, so it’s totally different to loss-recovery staking systems that we are not normally fans of. 

As ever though we will see whether it works in practice under a live trial. We started receiving tips on 20th January so will record results from then and will update progress as we go along here.

In the meantime you can check out The Rolling Aces for yourself here.

 

 

 

Wadster Winners – Results Update

It’s been a quiet time lately for tennis tipster Wadster Winners, with no change to the P/L made since our last update.

That means they are still 33 points down for our trial overall.  

You can view full results here. 

Please note that this service has now been placed on hold.

Wadster, who runs the service, provided this update via Telegram:

“The truth is mentally I’ve not been at my sharpest for the previous few weeks and the last thing I want to be doing is to be sending bad bets or ones with negative EV when that’s the case.

Unfortunately, the present circumstances are unlikely to change soon, and I do think it’s best for myself and all of you that I take a break from tennis tipping whilst I consider my options moving forward.

Hence, there will be a break in the service, where I’ll provide everyone with an update in by the start of August by the latest.”

So we will place this review on hold for the time being pending a decision on if/when it will recommence.

Wadster Winners – New Review

13th October 2022

It’s been a while since we reviewed a tennis tipster here at Honest Betting Reviews so we are pleased to be starting one today. 

This service is called Wadster Winners (formerly Wadster Tips) and the tips come from a guy called Aidan Wardle. 

Aidan says his approach “has always been largely based on an intuitive understanding of tennis and the factors that are important in winning a match. I know how to then apply relevant data to solidify my opinions on betting ideas and to create value bets to make profits.”

The approach appears to have worked very well, with 197 points profit made since starting up in 2019, according to the results on the website. These tips have been proofed to the pyckio website as well as the SBC so have some solid verification behind them. 

The returns have been achieved with a return on investment of just over 8% which is very respectable in tennis terms. 

Each of the last three years has produced over 40 points profit which is a strong level of consistency. 

The tips are provided via a betting bot on Telegram, which is increasingly becoming tipsters’ modus operandi these days. 

The service works on a “pay as you win” model, whereby subscribers only pay for tips if Aidan make profits for them, and they purchase these in the form of credits/points at a cost of £5 per point.

That’s fair enough really and it’s surprising in some ways that more tipsters don’t operate in this way. 

In any event, this looks like an impressive all-round service and one of the better tennis tipsters we have come across so we are looking forward to getting the trial underway. Results will be updated here as we go along as usual. 

In the meantime you can check out Wadster Winners for yourself here.

 

 

 

Tennis Profits

Tennis Profits – New Review

Today we are starting a new trial of a tennis trading service called Tennis Profits.

Those of you familiar with the ever-popular football trading service Goal Profits will not be surprised to learn that they are branching out and bringing their considerable trading expertise to another sport.

The service is a collaboration between Paul Shires – who has run the Trade Shark Tennis service for over ten years now – Matt Bisogno of the excellent GeeGeez racing website – and Steve Brown of the aforementioned Goal Profits.

Paul is the main man doing the trading and he has been a full-time pro tennis trader for a number of years now. 

In terms of what the service is all about, it follows a similar structure to Goal Profits. There are:

  • Trading Guides – getting started etc
  • A stats database of over 900 male and female players
  • A live stats tool for trading matches in-play
  • A set of strategies for trading tennis matches
  • A live chat room where you can follow along with Paul and his trades
  • Full support from the team

So it’s pretty comprehensive and the aim is to provide a full set of tools for those who want to trade tennis successfully – much in the same way as Goal Profits does for football. 

To kick off the new service, Paul is even giving away a FREE guide which you can pick up. It’s a perfect time to get started with Wimbledon getting underway next week.

Meanwhile we’ll be taking a look at the nuts and bolts of the service and getting to grips with what it’s all about. We’ll report back here soon on what we’ve found.

In the meantime you can check out Tennis Profits for yourself here.

 

 

 

Ace Tennis Previews

Ace Tennis Previews – Final Review

We have reached the end of our six month trial of Ace Tennis Previews and here are the final results:-

 

Profit/Loss:   -28 points
Strike Rate:   50%
Bank Growth:   -28%
ROI:   -4%
Average number of bets:   1-2 per day
Cost:   $9.99 per week or $24.99 per month
VERDICT:   FAILED
Rating:

 

You can view full results here.

 

Ace Tennis Previews – Full Review

 

Ace Tennis Previews is a tennis tipping service based in Australia and provides selections in men’s and women’s matches around the world. 

We have completed a six-month trial of the service (which included the end-of-season break) and we proofed over 280 tips in that time. 

The selections come with detailed write-ups and you can see that they really know their stuff when it comes to tennis, with strong knowledge of the lesser-known players and their games in particular. 

Sadly though, even with this specialist knowledge it didn’t translate into profit during our trial and a loss of 28 points was made overall. 

Whilst that wasn’t necessarily the end of the world, over an extended period like our review covered, we would hope to see some kind of positive return generated. 

So unfortunately we think the only fair verdict here is a narrow FAILED rating, as once you take subscription fees into account you would be quite a bit out of pocket from following the service. 

We don’t doubt Ace’s expertise, it is just a question of whether that can be turned into an edge over the market in the long run and that remains to be seen for the moment. 

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: Good – tips are normally sent out a good day or so before matches are scheduled to start and with an average of 1-2 bets per day there isn’t too much work involved in following the service. 

Availability of prices: As this is an Australian-based service the odds are occasionally advised with Aussie bookies like Topsport which might not be available to UK-based punters, but most bets are advised with bookies like Unibet and Bet365, which should be widely available to punters internationally. We had a few occasions when we weren’t able to obtain the advised odds but others when we beat them, so overall it probably balanced out OK. 

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 50%, so exactly half the bets were winners which is pretty decent. 

Advised Betting Bank: We didn’t come across any advice on betting bank size but used a 100-point bank for the purposes of the trial, which seemed more than adequate for following the service.  

Subscription costs: The subscription costs are pretty reasonable at $9.99 per week or $24.99 per month

 

OVERALL VERDICT: FAILED

We have struggled over the years to find many profitable tennis betting services and unfortunately this one is another that failed to find the mark. 

We can see that Ace Tennis Previews have considerable expertise in tennis but we just didn’t quite see that turned into profit over our trial. 

A loss of 28 points and a negative ROI of 4% means a FAILED rating unfortunately, although as always if they could demonstrate profitability in the longer run we would of course be prepared to revisit our findings.

Ace Tennis Previews – New Review

20th September 2018

Regular followers will know that we have complained quite a lot about the lack of good tennis betting services out there, with only two ever having passed trials here at Honest Betting Reviews.

Well thankfully it looks like we may have found a couple of promising new tennis services out there after a great deal of searching.

One of them is Tennis Goldmine, which we are currently reviewing and has got off to a good start.

The other one, which is the subject of this trial, is a service called Ace Tennis Previews.

This one was actually suggested to us by one of our members, Vlad, so thank you to Vlad for pointing it out. It comes from Australia and is a betting (rather than trading) service looking at a variety of markets including handicaps, game numbers and so on. 

What intrigued us about this service was not just that it had strong-looking results with 24 units profit made at a return on investment of over 11% over the last couple of months, but a big Twitter following of over 10,000 fans and an account going back to 2013.

Looking at the Twitter account you can see they have built up a loyal fan base and clearly have very in-depth knowledge of tennis. 

Indeed, they say that they “have a keen eye for value, thanks to my knowledge and understanding of the lesser-known players. Here is where I have my edge on those creating the odds for the matches we watch.”

That comes across clearly as you look around the site and the Twitter account.

So it seems to us that this is a genuine service and has some promise, but will it actually generate a profit over the long term?

Well as ever, that is what we are here to find out, so we will run a live trial to see how they get on.

The trial is likely to run longer than our normal three months as the tennis tours have a hiatus in November/December time.

Hopefully we’ll get a sense of how well the service is performing before then though and will update results here soon so you can take a look.

In the meantime you can check out Ace Tennis Previews here.

Tennis Goldmine – Full Review

 

Tennis Goldmine is a betting system from renowned tennis expert Patrick Ross.

It is a system where you find the selections yourself each day according to a set of rules. It involves laying players and uses a Fibonacci staking system, which is a kind of loss-recovery system with a staking sequence of placing 1-1-2-3-5-8-13-21-34 points per bet until you win, then you revert back to the beginning again.

You can of course use level staking if you like, although we used the recommended Fibonacci staking for the purposes of the review.

The criteria for selections is very simple and it should only take you a few minutes each day to find the selections and place the lay bets. 

We followed the system for around six months, although there was a break of around a month between the end of the previous tennis season and the start of the new one. 

We are pleased to report that the system performed well during our trial, delivering 28 points profit to the advised staking. 

The strike rate was good at 52% and the return on investment a respectable 10%. 

Using the Fibonacci staking can be quite a roller-coaster ride however and at one point we had a 7-bet losing streak and had to stake 13 points on the next selection – which thankfully won. 

You can see that roller-coaster ride portrayed in the profit graph for the trial below:-

So having a big enough bank to withstand a potential 10-bet losing streak or two is crucial. 

Of course if you’re of a more cautious temperament then you may wish to back at level stakes and on that basis the system also made a good profit of 15 points.

So whichever way you approach it the system performed well during our trial and we award Tennis Goldmine a PASSED rating. 

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use:  As stated above you need to find the selections yourself but the rules are very simple so it should only take a few minutes per day to place the bets. 

Availability of prices: Not an issue as there aren’t any “tips” as such and you place all bets at Betfair (or your exchange of choice). 

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 52%, so a good proportion of bets were winners. 

Advised Betting Bank: A 150 point bank is advised for following the service if you are using the Fibonacci staking, which seems somewhat on the low side to us. A full 10-bet losing run would set you back approximately 70 points so we think the bank should allow for at least two such occurrences and be 150-200 points. If you are using level staking then a 50-100 point bank should be sufficient.  

Subscription costs: The cost of the service is very reasonable at a one-off payment of £97+VAT, which now comes with Patrick’s betting and trading tips aswell. 

 

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED

Tennis Goldmine is a simple betting system you can use on Betfair. It performed very well during our trial, making 28 points profit using the advised loss-recovery staking or 15 points using level staking. 

In some ways the system is so simple we are surprised it has worked so well but at the end of the day you can’t argue with the results and we are therefore pleased to award it a PASSED rating.

The recent addition of using Patrick’s tips (which come free when you buy the system) to streamline selections down should help the profitability further and means you are getting excellent value with the Tennis Goldmine package.

Tennis Goldmine – Results Update

17th January 2019

Not much change for Tennis Goldmine since our last update, with just one point of profit added. 

That means we are now 18 points up for our trial overall. 

You can view full results here.

Now when you purchase Tennis Goldmine you also get Patrick’s betting and trading tips included aswell at no extra cost, which have both shown good long-term profits. 

When one of the daily tips clashes with a possible lay bet on Goldmine, you don’t place the lay bet on Goldmine. Patrick has back tested it and says it will reduce losing streaks and increase overall profit.

That seems like a sensible addition to us and now makes the Tennis Goldmine very attractive when you consider everything that’s included.

Tennis Goldmine – Results Update

29th October 2018

Overall it’s been a good run lately for Tennis Goldmine, with a further 4 points profit made since our last update a month ago.

That means we are now 17 points up for our trial overall.

You can view full results here.

However, it’s been quite a rollercoaster ride, as at one point we had a losing run of six bets, which meant by the seventh bet we were staking 13 points. 

Thankfully that bet won, but it shows that with the Fibonacci staking system this method uses things can get a bit hairy at times.

So you need to make sure you have a plentiful bank and a solid nerve to see out the losing runs. It’s crucial that you don’t over-stake and risk blowing out your betting funds if you do hit the dreaded losing run of nine in a row. A 155 point bank is recommended with the system but we would say a 200 point bank or higher could be used to be on the safe side. 

Just a quick word on staking – we had originally been using a 2 point system but it was causing some confusion so we have reverted to using 1 point system. So with the Fibonacci staking the system uses, that’s a staking sequence of  1-1-2-3-5-8-13-21-34 points per bet until you win, then you revert back to the beginning again.

Anyway, overall we are well ahead for the trial so that is good to see.

Tennis Goldmine – Results Update

26th September 2018

It’s been a very good start to our trial of Tennis Goldmine, a betting system from tennis expert Patrick Ross.

So far after one month we are 13 points up. 

You can view full results here.

This is a system where you find the selections yourself from pre-defined rules, so everyone’s results will differ somewhat depending on what time they go on Betfair and so on.

We have had to limit the information on our results spreadsheet so that we don’t give away the system, but you can see the important info such as profit and loss and the running total.

It’s a very simple system to operate, just a couple of minutes per day and so far has been moving along rather serenely, which is good.

Hopefully we’ll have more of the same going forward.

Tennis Goldmine – New Review

5th September 2018

We’ve remarked here before about the lack of good tennis tipsters and betting systems out there, with only one or two having made the grade here at Honest Betting Reviews over the years. 

Well today we have something that we think could join that exclusive list and it is called Tennis Goldmine.

It comes from Patrick Ross, the man behind one of the successful tennis systems we have reviewed here, Spartan Trading Tips.

Patrick is a renowned tennis trader and bettor, having run the respected Tennis Trading League website for a number of years.

So when we were contacted by Patrick to test out his new system we were certainly keen to do so.

Tennis Goldmine is a betting system with pre-defined rules where you find the selections yourself each day on Betfair (or your betting exchange of choice).

Without giving too much away, it involves laying players (i.e. betting on them to lose).

The results we have seen so far look very impressive, with over 75 points profit made in just over three months.

It’s very simple to operate and only takes a few minutes per day to find the selections. It’s “set and forget” so once you have placed the lays, that is it you can just leave it and come back and check the results later.

We plan on conducting a standard three month trial of Tennis Goldmine to get a good sense of how will it works. We have actually been testing it since 19th August and things have been progressing serenely since then, which is encouraging.

But obviously will need to see a bigger body of results before we can make any judgements, so please check back here for updates on how the trial is going.

In the meantime you can check out Tennis Goldmine here.

Top Tennis Tipster – Final Review

We seem to be saying this quite a lot lately – but unfortunately the Top Tennis Tipster service has been discontinued. It hadn’t been going long so a shame to see it go so quickly, particularly as results weren’t too bad. 

But there you are, the world of tipping as ever is a very tough one and consistent profits are needed to maintain a membership base.

Anyway, it’s into the failed/defunct pile for this one we’re afraid and time to move onto the next review…

Top Tennis Tipster – Results Update

22nd December 2018

Not much change for Top Tennis Tipster since our last update a month ago, with 5 points lost in that time. 

Overall that means they are 10 points down for our trial so far. 

You can view full results here.

They have continued tipping through the off season with bets in challenger and lesser events, which can be a little trappy. However with the main season getting underway in under a couple of weeks hopefully that will help things to pick up.

Top Tennis Tipster – Results Update

18th November 2018

It’s been a slow start to our trial of Top Tennis Tipster, with a loss of 5 points made so far. 

You can view full results here.

The bets come in quite a variety of tournaments, from the top ones down to Challenger events so you have to do a little bit of shopping around sometimes to find the best odds in the more obscure events. 

With the tennis season effectively ending today, there may not be a huge number of bets over the next few weeks but we will see if they provide selections in some of the end of season stuff.

Top Tennis Tipster – New Review

25th October 2018

They say that things often come in threes and in the case of exciting new tennis betting services, that certainly seems to be the case for us.

We have recently started trials of Tennis Goldmine and Ace Tennis Previews, both of which look like they could be successful services.

Well today we have another one and it is rather appropriately called Top Tennis Tipster.

Apparently it is run by someone who is a full-time, professional tennis bettor standing by to share his personal bets and experience with you.

They cover match winners and correct score bets on action all around the world.

The results so far look pretty strong, with over 50 points profit made since June at a return on investment of over 9%, which represents a more than doubling of the bank in just a few short months.

Bets come in a variety of different markets including Challenger events and doubles matches as well as the more established ATP and WTA events. 

There is quite a high volume of bets, with around 80-100 per month, but that should be manageable for most punters to place a few bets per day. 

So we now have three promising tennis betting services to get stuck into and it will be interesting to see which, if any, of them, emerge as winners. 

We will post results here periodically during the trial so you can see how things are going. 

In the meantime you can check out Top Tennis Tipster here.
