Why bet on the Cincinnati Open?

The Cincinnati Open is a great opportunity for bettors to get involved in a highly competitive and entertaining tennis tournament. It is set to feature several of the best players in the world as they look to get in their last bit of tournament practice before the final Grand Slam of the year. 

There is also an incredible number of betting markets available for bettors to take their pick from, which can be a great way to practice ahead of the US Open. 


Popular Tennis Betting Markets

Outright Winner

One of the simplest ways to bet on the tournament is to place your bets on the outright winner. This involves punters placing their money on the player they believe will win the tournament overall at the end of the two weeks. Bet on the player who wins the tournament, and your bet should have a chance of success!

To Make The Final

Another nice and easy way to get involved with betting on the Cincinnati Open is to place your bets on the players that you believe will make the final. This is a great way to keep a bet running throughout the tournament, with cashouts able to be performed to make a potential profit should the player you have bet on look to be missing out on reaching the final.

Match Winner

As it says on the tin, a match winner bet simply involves placing your bet on the player you think will win in a match. These bets can be placed throughout the tournament, allowing bettors to be involved throughout every round and game.

Total Number of Games

Another great way to get involved with betting on the action at the Cincinnati Open is by betting on the total number of games. Instead of predicting a certain number, punters can bet on it being more or less than an amount set by a betting site. 

Accumulators

Place a single bet made up of several different selections from the tournament to create an accumulator bet. This is a great way to enhance the odds by adding more selections; however, the more you add, the more that must win for your acca to win.


Cincinnati Open: Top Betting Tips

  • Research Players Form 

Look at the players competing at the tournament and see what sort of form they are in. Check their results heading into the tournaments and what is coming up that they could use a good run of form for. Check for any players on a winning streak or any players struggling for results looking to make a comeback. 

  • Head-to-heads

Look to see if any of the players who are set to face each other have met before in any previous tournaments. This could help to see how they fare against each other, if either player tends to beat the other, or if their meetings are evenly matched.

  • Previous Results

Explore the past results of players in the tournament they are competing in. See how they typically do at an event, or if they have experience playing in it before. Also, identify any players who may be making their tournament debuts and could be potential underdogs.

  • Claim Free Bets

Always check for any free bet offers that could be available at bookmakers. These can help to enhance your betting on the tournament and give you more opportunities to place even more bets at no extra cost!
