Where the best tennis prices sit

Tennis is a two-outcome sport, so the overround on a match winner market is a clean proxy for value. The tighter the margin, the more of each price is returned to you.

Sampled figures for tennis and adjacent two-way markets:

• Betfair — 48.6% best-price share, 4.64% average margin (278 prices sampled)
• Coral — 27.1% best-price share, 5.66% margin (247)
• Ladbrokes — 20.2% best-price share, 5.88% margin (253)
• Unibet — 15.2% best-price share, 5.89% margin (250)
• Sky Bet — 15.7% best-price share, 6.45% margin (242)
• William Hill — 14.7% best-price share, 7.19% margin (266)
• BetMGM — 14.8% best-price share, 5.24% margin (122)
• 888sport — 15.1% best-price share, 7.09% margin (292)
• Betway — 12.8% best-price share, 6.81% margin (257)

Betfair's exchange-driven pricing explains its dominant best-price share: on nearly half of sampled selections it is the top price. Coral and Ladbrokes (both part of the same group) post the tightest fixed-odds margins after Betfair, which is why they rank second and third on best-price frequency. bet365 recorded a 0% best-price share on a small 30-price tennis sample, so treat that figure as low-confidence rather than conclusive.

Margin vs best-price frequency

Two metrics measure two different things. Average margin tells you how much a bookmaker builds into a market on average; best-price share tells you how often that bookmaker actually posts the top number when you line it up against rivals.

BetMGM is the case worth noting: its 5.24% average margin is the second-tightest on the page, yet its best-price share is only 14.8% (122 prices). Low margin with modest best-price frequency means competitive but rarely market-leading — useful as a consistent second quote. Betfair combines the lowest margin with the highest best-price share, which is the profile you want if you take one price per selection.

For a live tennis follower, the practical takeaway: hold accounts at two or three of the tightest-margin operators and take whichever posts the top price on the specific match — line movement between the opening and current price often decides which of Coral, Ladbrokes or Betfair leads.

ATP and WTA markets covered

Both tours draw the deepest markets from UK bookmakers. On match-winner, set betting, total games and handicap lines, most operators price the full ATP Tour and WTA Tour draw, with in-play depth thinning on early-round matches.

Upcoming fixtures such as the WTA meetings Emma Navarro v Jessica Pegula, Magdalena Frech v Elena Rybakina and Sorana Cirstea v Anna Kalinskaya, plus ATP ties like Rinky Hijikata v Jakub Mensik and Alexander Blockx v Flavio Cobolli, typically carry the widest set of markets and the most stable pricing. Deeper-round and higher-profile matches attract more liquidity, which tends to compress margins further than the sampled averages above.

Operators with Live Streaming attached to tennis on this page include bet365, Paddy Power, William Hill, Ladbrokes, Coral, Betfair, Sky Bet (via app), Unibet, LiveScore Bet and BetMGM — relevant if you price in-running rather than pre-match.
