Betting on a tennis event that’s scheduled to happen weeks or months in the future – that’s tennis futures betting in a nutshell. Instead of betting on what’s going to happen in this weekend’s matches, you can bet on the winner of a major tournament.
Although there are some sportsbooks that have tennis futures in their offer that focus on minor events such as Challenger tournaments, most bookies tend to focus only on Grand Slams.
Betting on Grand Slams in Advance
There are four Grand Slam tournaments in tennis – Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open. These four tournaments are the most prestigious competitions in the world of tennis. Every tennis player dreams of winning these events.
Because Grand Slams are so popular in the tennis universe, it’s no surprise that online sportsbooks offer tennis future bets that predict the winner(s) of these four tournaments. In fact, most tennis futures are centered around the four Grand Slams.
