There are two end-of-year tour events on this weekend: Dubai World Championship of Golf in, of course, Dubai; and the ATP World Tour Finals in London. Neither really stand out as great betting events unless you’re prepared to take on the favourites. If you’re going to take on the favourites, then the betting exchanges are [...]

Federer Still The One To Beat In Mens Tennis
It’s been awhile since we looked at tennis here at UK Betting Central. Even so, little has changed with Federer still the one to beat; Nadal still trying to reclaim his brilliance; Djokovic making a nuisance of himself as the forgotten man; and Andy Murray continuing to be the bookmakers best friend. This has almost [...]
Has Super Mac Doomed Murray’s US Open?
John McEnroe has nominated Andy Murray as one of the three who have what it takes to win this year’s US Open. I wonder if he has put the ‘mockers’ on Murray’s attempt. Mind you, Murray hasn’t helped himself in recent years when it comes to majors – he just doesn’t seem to be able [...]
One Reason Online Bookmakers Love Tennis
One reason that online bookmakers love betting on tennis is the intense rivalry and the unpredictability that is creeping in. When Roger Federer was at his peak – he was unbackable and a regular winner. Enter Rafael Nadal and he became unbackable and a regular winner. We are going through a period where both Nadal [...]
Murray Not Looking To Repeat History
Andy Murray has had an incredible form reversing run at the ATP Toronto Masters. In fact, if he were a racehorse, stewards and online bookmakers would have requested swabs. But then, this is the Toronto Masters and Murray does seem to find something special on those courts. He will now most likely meet Federer in [...]
Nadal Still Online Bookmakers Best Friend
Online bookmakers often have a problem when it comes to players that are ranked number one yet have failed to really perform well. Tiger Woods is a classic example at present. He continues to start tournaments as favourite despite having dismal form. Rafael Nadal is another that online bookmakers make favourite every time his name [...]
Finding This Weekend’s Best Betting Odds
There is a veritable feast of sporting activity on this weekend. While England may be out of the World Cup football, we still have Wimbledon, one day cricket, the Tour De France and, of course, the second group of World Cup quarter finals.
Let’s start with today’s World Cup quarter finals. With Brazil’s defeat at the [...]
Online Bookmakers Give Murray A Chance
It’s the first week in July and that means Wimbledon finals and for the first time in decades, a local hero stands a real chance of taking the prize. Andy Murray will go into today’s semi final match against Rafael Nadal with form and a little history on his side. Online bookmakers have been wary [...]
Finding Wimbledon Value Through Betting Exchanges
Betting exchanges can often provide better value for punters if they think a favourite could be beaten. This is because you are betting on something or someone losing rather than winning. Tennis is a classic for seeing favourites beaten – the problem is picking the right bet.
Why a betting exchange? If you look at today’s [...]
What A Spread Betting Windfall
Are you into spread betting? More particularly, are you into spread betting on tennis? How does a match that has gone for 163 games sound? Normally, especially in the last set, you could expect to see a 6-4, or perhaps 7-5, scoreline. Occasionally, it gets out to 9-7 or even 10-8. At Wimbledon, you get [...]
