The season ending WTA finals start in Riyadh on November 2 and with a total prize pool of $15million we are going to see one player with a cheque of more than $1.5 million by winning the event. The tournament will see the world’s top 8 players play for the cup and the action will run until 9th November. The 8 players are divided into two groups of 4 each and during the group stage every player will play 3 matches. The first group is Purple and it has Aryna Sabalenka, Jasmine Paolini, Elena Rybakina and Zheng Qinwen. This is the toughest group as it has 3 of the world’s top 5 players. The second group is the Orange Group which has Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula and Barbora Krejcikova. The format of the event is simple and 4 players in each player will play 3 matches each. The top two from each group will advance to the semifinals where the group leader from Purple will play the runner-up of Orange group and the group leader from Orange will play the runner-up of Purple group. The semifinal winners will play each other on 9th November for the WTA Finals Cup. The purple group has world number one Aryna Sabalenka and I believe she is going to top the group. The odds for her to top the group are 1.82 and it’s quite generous from bookies to let players make money on this bet. Orange group can be called the battle of even though the odds tell a different story. My pick for the player to top the Orange group would be Iga Swiatek and the odds for this are 2.05. The winner for this event is going to be Aryna Sabalenka and since she is last year’s winner too this was an obvious choice. If there is any player who can give her competition then that’s Iga Swiatek and if she manages to take the lead in the first set then she has a good chance of winning the event too. The odds for Iga to win the cup are 4.00.

Tennis is one of the most popular and easiest sports to bet on as its rules are not too complicated. Let’s see the various events you can bet on during a game of tennis. The most obvious bet you can make on a game of tennis is which player is going to win, player/team A or B. The winner of a tennis game is decided when a player wins 2 sets in a best of 3 or 3 sets in a best of 5 event. Best of 5 events are usually for men that too during Grand slams. You can bet which player is going to win by a set of 2-0, 2-1 and in some cases 3-0, 3-1 or 3-2. Betting on sets is a great option as it ends quicker and sometimes even stronger players end up losing the first or second set which gives you higher odds. You can also bet on the score of the set like will it be 6-0, 6-1, and 6-2 and so on. Bets like these give you great odds. Further you can also bet on the total number of games. During every set a player has to reach 6 points first and also needs to have a difference of two points to win that set. If two players reach 6-6 a tie breaker is played and the first player to reach 7 points wins the tiebreaker. If both players reach 7 points then the first player to lead by a further two points wins the set. You can bet how many points there will be per set and even per game. These events give you higher odds compared to picking the winner or how many sets a match will have. Next time you decide to bet on a tennis match don't just go for the winner and try to explore better options that give you higher odds.

Hello! 22/05/2019 I made bets on Matchbook. It was tennis, Svetlana Kuznetsova vs Johanna Larsson. Moneyline / Johanna Larsson [back] 4 803.70461 Moneyline / Johanna Larsson [back] 4 2394.04082 Moneyline / Johanna Larsson [back] 4 2802.25456. If speak more easily I had bet 6000 euro on odds 4 on Johanna Larsson. Johanna won match, I won. But some time later I get email, next: Dear Dmytro, Unfortunately we need to inform you that your bet(s) on the Svetlana Kuznetsova vs Johanna Larsson match tonight has been cancelled and the funds returned to your account. Bet Selection Odds Amount Moneyline / Johanna Larsson [back] 4 803.70461 Moneyline / Johanna Larsson [back] 4 2394.04082 Moneyline / Johanna Larsson [back] 4 2802.25456 We sincerely regret any inconvenience caused. Any cancellation activity undertaken by Matchbook is only to ensure fairness on the exchange and to protect our valued Customers. A claim was received from another client this morning, and after an extensive review we have found that the bets to be outside of fair market value and have been cancelled. Then was some points of theirs rules which say: For your reference the applicable rules applying to this situation are below. "To further protect clients against "trap offers," malicious users, technical faults, and so forth, Matchbook reserves the right under extraordinary circumstances to break trades that are the result of an obvious and extreme input error. An example would be if a client is matched on a heavy underdog at 1.04 instead of 26.0. Note that this rule protects against technical errors, not pricing errors, so while a match at odds of 1.66 vs. a prevailing market value of 1.87 may be regrettable, it could not be classed as an obvious and extreme input error. Matchbook reserves the right to correct any obvious errors and shall take all reasonable steps to ensure markets are administered with integrity and transparency. Matchbook reserves the right to cancel 'bad trades' in order to protect users against gross input errors if Matchbook deems the error to be sufficiently damaging. All 'bad trade' claims need to be made by the customer in a timely fashion in order to be considered. Matchbook’s ruling on ‘bad trade’ claims is final. For consistency, Matchbook, using all available resources, will determine the fair market value (probability) at the time the bet was matched. Comparing against this value, if the probability of the incorrect offer, is 10% less than, or 10% greater than, the fair market probability, then Matchbook reserves the right to void the trade in question." Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us. Regards, Sean | Matchbook Support So, what was that? Matchbook returned bets by claim of other client!!!! On exchange!!! How its possible? I tried to find out why they returned my won bets by claim from another client? (which loosed his money). I have no clearly response about this question, only rules of bad trade and 10% borders for trade. Lets see situation. I matched bet at score 3:3 (as say Matchbook) in 1st set. So if on pre match odds on second player 4.2-4.8 https://www.wincomparator.com/svetlana-kuznetsova-id3292-johanna-larsson-id6469/#live so in equal playing odd 4 is fair. But Matchbook write me odds 1.95-2 that must was, by their opinion. I have screenshot (at score 3:4) that shown after my bets was average line with odd 3, at least, not 2. And its mean that trade was in 10% borders from average odds. So was fair odds and so on, markets was not suspended not before not after. Was normally trading. By the way that money with odds 4 was there more than couple minutes and another player could cancel it or change odds, but he didn’t do that and its normally to match line with best odds. Its totally responsibility of that customer who gave that line, not mine or exchange platform. So I made bets in borders off all rules, but my winnings was grabbed. And account suspended, by the way. For information, I play on Matchbook almost 5 years. I want ask to help me solve this problem with my bets and also to show how Matchbook cheating clients. I'm not sure that Matchbook will protect me as player, they protect somebody from another side who loosed money in fair deal. Its not fair to me, its like criminal behavior! "Matchbook is not responsible for any errors made by Customers when posting offers.
