bovada live betting tools are very powerful. the match win money line changes with every point, which allows for some amazing hedging opportunities.

pre-match betting is just for fun, in my opinion. the only real way to consistently win in tennis is watch the first set, get an idea of who is actually trying (yes, even in a major this needs to be investigated), and then bet the rest of the match accordingly.

other options include game money lines. assuming the pre-match line was about even, the server will have maybe a -400 chance to win the game, depending on style and surface. but, as we know, there is a big difference between trying to hold serve when you are serving at 0-0 and trying to close out the set when you are serving up 5-1. the player behind in the set will generally be happy to tank away the return game, saving energy for the next set and to begin on serve. pointless to hustle for a break back when the set is still out of reach. but you generally won't find that the game money line odds take these kinds of intangibles into account, so there is a ton of value (yes, there can be value in a -500 line). nothing works every time, but betting on a 5 set match before it even starts seems insane. you get a decent idea of where guys are at after watching the first set.
