Parimatch offers a range of Australian Open betting markets before and during the competition. Availability can vary according to the match and stage of the tournament.
Australian Open Outright Betting
An outright bet asks you to predict the eventual tournament champion.
Men’s and women’s singles are listed separately. You do not need to wait for the final, although the price attached to each player will change as the competition develops.
If your selection is eliminated at any stage, the outright bet loses.
Match Winner
Match-winner betting is the simplest individual-match market. Choose which of the two players you expect to progress.
The number of sets or games played does not matter for this market. Your selection only needs to be declared the match winner, subject to the relevant settlement rules.
Set Betting
Set betting goes deeper than picking the match winner. Depending on the markets offered, you may be able to back a player to win a particular set or predict the final set score.
For example, a correct-score selection in a women’s singles match could be 2–0 or 2–1. Men’s singles matches are played over the best of five sets, creating a wider range of possible scorelines.
Handicap Betting
A handicap gives one player a virtual advantage or disadvantage in games or sets.
Backing a player with a positive game handicap means the stated number is added to their final total for settlement purposes. A negative handicap requires the selected player to win by a sufficiently large margin.
Always check whether the market uses games, sets or another measure before confirming the bet.
Total Games and Sets
Totals markets let you bet on whether a match will finish above or below a quoted number of games or sets.
A close contest containing long sets or tie-breaks can produce a high game total without necessarily reaching a deciding set. The match format should therefore be considered alongside the players involved.
Aces and Break-of-Serve Markets
Selected matches may include markets based on aces, breaks of serve or which player records the first break.
Serving conditions, playing style and return statistics can all be relevant when assessing these options. Available lines will differ between matches.
Live Australian Open Betting
Live betting markets become available after play begins. The prices then react to the score and events taking place on court.
Depending on availability, you may be able to bet on the match winner, the next set, the next game or other in-play outcomes. Live pictures and scoring feeds can experience delays, so use the score shown within the betting market when making a decision.
