With the increasing popularity of Wimbledon tennis betting and with so many options for the tennis bettor
one question always raises, Where does the clever money go? Well certain facts are indisputable:
grass is very fast so Wimbledon tends to favour the power players with the big serve. But no one has
dominated since Sampras in the late 90’s who was a Wimbledon winner seven times.
You can bet against an outcome and lay a favorite in the outright or match markets. But the Wimbledon
betting doesn’t stop there. IslandCasino will offer odds on players to win their quarter, on set and match
betting.
