Step 2 - Find the ATP or WTA Australian Open Tournaments on the bookmakers web page. Most of the bookmakers will display on their home page a direct link to the tournament pages, so make sure you look for that too.

Step 3 - Picking an event and a market. There are lots of events and markets to pick from in the bookmaker's offers. Below you can find a selection to help you pick the right one for you.

Outright Betting - This is betting on the winner of the entire tournament. Betting is normally available on the men`s and women`s tournaments. Most bookmakers will allow each way betting, normally offering a third of the odds on the place part of he bet if your selection finishes first or second. Normally the draw is known for tennis tournaments so if you find a player in the weak half of the draw, even if they aren't the most likely to win the tournament they could be a good each way bet.

Example: The two favorites for a tournament may be in the same half of the draw meaning they can't play each other in the final. This makes the third favorite for the tournament the favorite to reach the final from the other half of the draw.

Match Betting - This is betting on who is going to win each individual match in a tournament. There are only two possible outcomes in each match so the odds are likely to be very short for the favorites so many people place four or five players in an accumulator each round, often mixing both men`s and women`s matches. There are no restrictions on this.

5 Things to check before placing a tennis match bet

        1. Recent form for each player
        2. Past matches between the players
        3. How hard were their most recent matches?
        4. Any recent injuries?
        5. Form on this surface - recent and head to head

Set betting - Like correct score betting in football, this bet is the prediction of what the score in sets will be. There are not as many outcomes in football so the odds are shorter. Like in match betting, different set bets can be put together in an accumulator or multiple bet.

To Win 1st Set - This bet is exactly what it seems. Betting on which player is going to win the first set. The favorite for the match will be favorite in this market and value can sometimes be obtained in opposing some slow starters.
