Set betting
Also known as: Set score, Correct set score
A tennis market on the exact set score of a match (e.g. 3-0, 3-1, 3-2 in best-of-5; 2-0, 2-1 in best-of-3). Single match-result markets at very short odds in mismatched contests can be improved on by set betting — backing 2-0 instead of just the match winner reduces the price but rules out the riskier 2-1. Margin sits around 8-12% across the set-score grid.
