It&#8217;s worth analysing the draw bracket to see if a player has a more comfortable route to the final than the odds imply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other factors to consider include recent form, previous results at the specific tournament, and motivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Over\/Under<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over\/Under Points is another betting market where you wager on the total number of points scored in a match, not who wins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bookmaker will set a line (for example, Over\/Under 75.5 points), and your job is to predict whether the actual combined total of points scored by both players will be over or under that number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s say the match is between Player A and Player B and the Over\/Under line is set at 75.5 points. Player A wins 3\u20131 with the following game scores: 11\u20139, 7\u201311, 11\u20136, 11\u201310. So the total points scored in the match is (11+9 + 7+11 + 11+6 + 11+10) 87 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you bet Over 75.5, you win. If you bet Under 75.5, you lose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Match Betting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Match Betting or Moneyline is a simple bet on who will prevail in a head-to-head encounter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It tends to be worth focusing on closely-matched encounters, instead of searching for a 1-20 shot to get turned over. Shocks do occur, as in most sports, but they are more difficult to find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Look out for head-to-head records and recent results. Is a player performing at a level they will struggle to maintain when they face a rival who can take them out of their comfort zone?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Different players have different styles and a certain style can suit one opponent but can cause problems for another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Best of Ma Long the Table Tennis GOAT\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/36zx34BlQF8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Handicap Betting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Betting on the handicap is simple, if you back Player A -5.5 points, and he wins by six points, the bet is a winner. Alternatively, back Player B +4.5 points and the bet will win if he loses by four points or fewer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plenty of matches, particularly in the early rounds of a tournament, often see a high-profile player taking on a lesser opponent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The favourite may well be hard to beat but an underdog with a never-say-die attitude can prove tough to put away, while certain players can shy away from a tense battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conversely, some of the best players are exactly that because they refuse to take their foot off the gas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do the maths when considering a handicap bet. The difference between giving away 3.5 points or 4.5 points could easily be the difference between backing a winner or a loser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Total Points<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like a handicap bet, a bet on the total points in a match can offer an interest in even the most one-sided of mismatches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A top player can make short work of a lesser player, but that&#8217;s not always the case, while it&#8217;s reasonable to expect those who are evenly-matched to play a long match, although the odds will reflect that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo by GetArchive, CC by 1.0 For those not used to betting on table tennis, here is a helpful guide to the type of markets there are and how those markets work.
