Laser247 tennis betting gives Indian players a year-round exchange market that never waits for a cricket season. Grand Slams, ATP and WTA tour events run almost every week, and because tennis has no draw, every match is a clean two-way market that is ideal for laying the favourite. This page explains the markets we list, how set and game betting work in-play, and a lay strategy that has made tennis a favourite of our more patient traders.
Tennis events available on Laser247
- All four Grand Slams: Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, US Open

Matches go in-play from the first serve. Tennis markets rarely close for more than a few seconds, usually only at a medical timeout or a challenge review.
Tennis markets explained
Match winner
Two selections, back and lay on each. With no draw possible, laying one player is identical to backing the other, except that the lay side often shows a fractionally better price when the favourite is heavily backed.
Set betting
The exact scoreline in sets, such as 2-0 or 2-1 in a best-of-three. Prices are larger because there are more outcomes, and they move sharply after the first set.
Set winner and game handicap
Current-set winner is the fastest market in tennis, flipping on every break of serve. Game handicaps such as Player B +4.5 games suit matches where the favourite should win but the underdog holds serve well.
Total games
Over or under a games line for the match or a set. Big servers on grass push these lines up; clay-court grinders bring them down.
Laying the favourite: the logic
Favourites in tennis are often priced at 1.20 or shorter, especially in early rounds. Backing them ties up a lot of money for a small return. Laying them, on the other hand, risks a modest liability for a payout equal to your stake if an upset or a retirement happens. Our Hyderabad players call it the “retirement rule”: a player who retires injured is settled as the loser in most match-winner markets, so a lay on a favourite nursing a known injury carries a hidden edge.
Example: a top-ten seed facing a qualifier is 1.15 to win. Lay for ₹10,000 and your liability is ₹1,500. Lose the first set and the price drifts to 1.60; you can then back the seed for ₹7,000, leaving a profit of roughly ₹2,000 if the seed recovers and about ₹3,000 if the qualifier completes the upset. The important discipline is to only lay favourites where you have a reason, such as fatigue, surface mismatch or a poor head-to-head, rather than laying every short price.
In-play tennis on the exchange
Tennis rewards attention more than any other sport we list. A single break of serve moves the match-winner price by 20 or 30 percent, and the current-set market by far more. Three habits help:
- Watch the serve percentage. A favourite landing under 50 percent of first serves is vulnerable regardless of the scoreline.
- Bet between points, not during a rally. The market suspends briefly when a point ends and reopens with a fresh price.
- Use the app’s one-tap bet slip. Our Mumbai and Bangalore servers update prices with sub-100 millisecond latency, so the quick tap matters more than the stream, which is always a few seconds behind.

You do not need a separate account. The Laser247 ID that covers cricket also covers tennis, football, kabaddi and the live casino.

A ₹500 UPI deposit reflects within 60 seconds, and winnings are paid back by UPI in 8 to 10 minutes.
Managing risk across a long tennis calendar
Because tennis runs eleven months a year, it is easy to overtrade. Set a weekly deposit limit from your profile, stake 1 to 2 percent of your bankroll per match, and keep a note of which surfaces and tours you actually profit on. Your account ledger shows every bet and result, and a monthly review often reveals that clay-court WTA matches, say, are where your edge lives. Specialise there before chasing the whole calendar.

Frequently asked questions
How are tennis bets settled if a player retires?
On match-winner markets the player who retires is settled as the loser once at least one set has been completed. If a player withdraws before the first ball, bets are voided and stakes returned. Set and game markets already completed stand.
Can I bet on tennis during the match?
Yes. Every listed match goes in-play from the first serve, with the market suspending for a moment at the end of each point.
Is there enough liquidity on smaller WTA events?
Grand Slam and Masters matches are deep. ATP and WTA 250 events are thinner, so check the matched amount and keep stakes proportionate.
Do you offer a tennis betting exchange on iPhone?
Yes, through the Safari version of the site. Add it to your Home Screen and it works like an app, including Face ID login.
What commission applies to tennis winnings?
The same 2 to 5 percent charged on net winnings across the platform. Losing bets carry no commission.
