Tennis is a popular sport, both to watch and to bet on, and for most of the calendar year there is always another tennis event coming up for people to watch and/or gamble on. For example, at the moment it is only a month or so until the Davis Cup – one of the major tournaments in the tennis calendar – starts again, and thus already the sports betting sites are gearing up for it by offering odds on the different countries and players competing in it.
At the moment, around a month before it starts, you will get very low odds on Serbia to win this year’s Davis Cup, as they are currently rated 6/4 odds-on favourites at many of the sports betting sites. While this does clearly establish them as the frontrunners, from a betting point of view, the result is far from being considered a foregone conclusion – with France at 4/1 and the Czech Republic at 9/2 also considered real contenders. However some tennis betting fans will prefer a bet which offers longer odds, and thus a better payout should it come through, making the USA one option if this is what you prefer. Although some sites are offering just 6/1 on them, you can get odds of 11/2, which could make them a good bet.
Of course the Davis Cup is still a month away from starting, which will feel like a lifetime for the more ardent fans of tennis and betting, however there are ways to enjoy a bit of both tennis and betting when the games aren’t even on nowadays. The online gambling industry has seen a huge jump recently, and the online casinos have realised that there isn’t much market for sports bettors during the off season of their respective sports.
As a result of this, they have developed games like the tennis themed slot game Centre Court, should help to fill this time enjoyably. This game, available at most online casino sites, for example Gaming Club. The game is a five reel slot with nine pay lines and features graphics of tennis players on the reels. The tennis flavour goes beyond that though, with graphics of a tennis court seen behind the reels, while when the reels spin they stop with the sound of a tennis ball bouncing on the grass. This makes it great for tennis fans – but the maximum jackpot of $2,500, and the presence of wild and scatter symbols to increase the chances of a payout, should make it great for any gambling fan.
