Wimbledon is the oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament in the world, and a favourite for sports bettors. Held every summer at the All England Club in London, it’s the only Grand Slam event played on grass, a fast surface that rewards strong serves and quick reflexes.

Both the men’s and women’s draws are packed with star power, including Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic, Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina.

Let’s walk through the most popular Wimbledon betting markets and how they work.

Wimbledon Moneyline Betting

The simplest and most popular wager—just pick who will win the match.

Let’s say Elena Rybakina is playing Madison Keys in the first round:

• Rybakina -220
• Keys +175

Rybakina is the favourite. You’d need to bet $220 to win $100. Keys is the underdog—bet $100 on her and win $175 if she pulls off the upset.

The minus sign (–) always indicates the favourite. The plus sign (+) shows the underdog. Moneyline bets are straightforward and a great place to start.

Wimbledon Spread Betting (Set or Game Handicap)

In spread betting, you’re wagering on how close the match will be, not just who wins.

Let’s say Iga Swiatek is playing a lower-ranked opponent. You might see a game handicap like:

• Swiatek -5.5 games (-110)
• Opponent +5.5 games (-110)

If Swiatek wins 6-2, 6-3 (a total of 12 games won to 5), she covers the spread. If the match is tighter—like 7-5, 6-4—she doesn’t.

You can also bet set handicaps. For example, a -1.5 set bet means the player needs to win in straight sets.

This is a great option when you think the favourite will dominate or when you expect a close battle and want to bet on the underdog to keep it tight.

Wimbledon Over/Under Betting

Also known as Totals, this bet is on how many sets or games will be played, regardless of who wins.

Let’s look at a men’s match with an Over/Under of 38.5 games:

• Over 38.5 (-115)
• Under 38.5 (-105)

If the match goes 6-4, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, that’s 43 total games. The Over hits.

Women’s matches are best-of-three sets, so the totals will be lower, expect Over/Unders in the 20.5–25.5 range depending on matchup. A tight match like 7-6, 6-7, 6-4 would cash the Over in most cases.

Wimbledon Futures Betting

A futures bet is a wager on who will win the entire tournament.

As of now, top picks in the men’s draw include:

• Carlos Alcaraz +150
• Jannik Sinner +160
• Novak Djokovic +450

On the women’s side:

• Aryna Sabalenka +300
• Elena Rybakina +350
• Iga Swiatek +400
• Coco Gauff +600

These odds can change quickly based on draw announcements, injuries, and match results, so some bettors prefer to get in early for better value.

You can also find futures for which players will reach the final, win their quarter, or win the most aces.

Wimbledon Prop Betting

Prop bets let you wager on specific player stats or match outcomes, these are fun and flexible options that go beyond picking winners.

Examples of Wimbledon props include:

• Total number of aces in a match
• Will there be a tiebreak?
• First set winner
• Number of double faults
• Player to win in straight sets

For example, if Sabalenka is known for her serving, you might bet:

• Over 9.5 aces (-125)
• Under 9.5 aces (+105)

Prop markets expand as the tournament progresses and more data is available. You’ll find especially deep options in quarterfinals, semifinals and finals.

Wimbledon Live Betting

Wimbledon is one of the best tournaments for in-play betting thanks to the momentum swings on grass and the number of matches running simultaneously.

During live betting, odds change in real time as the match unfolds. Popular live markets include:

• Next game winner
• Live moneyline (comeback opportunities!)
• Live Over/Unders for games or sets
• Break of serve in current game

If you’re watching live and see a shift in momentum, like Swiatek struggling with her second serve, you can jump in and bet her opponent to take the set at longer odds.

Betting Tips for Wimbledon 2025

1. Grass form matters.
Not every top player is comfortable on grass. Look for players with strong serves, good movement, and a history of success at Wimbledon, like Rybakina or Djokovic.

2. Big servers have an edge.
Grass speeds up play and rewards powerful, accurate serving. Players like Sabalenka and Hurkacz tend to benefit.

3. Upsets happen early.
The grass season is short, and some players are still adjusting in the early rounds. Underdogs with experience can catch higher seeds off guard.

4. Stay on top of the draw.
The path to the final matters. If a top seed lands in a tough quarter, a well-drawn longshot in the opposite half may offer better value.

5. Don’t forget the weather.
Rain delays and indoor play under the roof can change dynamics, some players thrive indoors, others don’t.

With both the men’s and women’s draws offering top-tier talent and exciting matchups, Wimbledon is the perfect stage for high-stakes betting and high drama.
