How to Understand WTA Tennis Odds

Before you dive into the world of WTA tennis betting, you need to grasp the basics of betting odds. The simplest of these are the moneyline odds. A moneyline bet is where a bettor places a wager on which of the players they think will win the match. With the American odds format, a negative number indicates the player is the favorite to win and is also the amount you would need to bet to win $100, while a positive number shows that the player is not favored to win (the underdog) as well as how much you'd win from a $100 bet. For example, if a player has odds of -170, you'd need to wager $170 to win $100, resulting in a total payout of $270 (profit + original stake). On the other hand, if a player has odds of +300, a $100 bet could result in a $300 win, which would result in a $400 payout ($300 profit + original stake). The odds provide you with a rough estimate of the risk involved, a large negative number, for example -1300, means the favorite is very likely to win, however you would need to be quite a bit just to win $100. A very large positive number, for example +1500, would mean that the player is quite unlikely to win, however a $100 bet could result in a $1600 payout.
