Common tennis spread lines typically include a set spread, where the favorite might be listed at -1.5 sets, meaning they need to win by at least two sets to cover the spread, while the underdog would be at +1.5 sets, allowing them to lose by one set and still cover. Additionally, you might see game spreads, where a favorite could be at -4.5 games, indicating they must win by five games or more, while the underdog would be at +4.5 games, allowing them to lose by four games and still cover.

In tennis betting, the set spread and game spread are common ways to handicap matches and provide more options for bettors. The set spread is based on the number of sets won by each player, while the game spread focuses on the total number of games won in a match.
The set spread, such as -1.5 sets for the favorite and +1.5 sets for the underdog, is typically used in best-of-three-set matches. In this scenario, if you bet on the favorite at -1.5 sets, they would need to win the match by at least two sets to cover the spread. On the other hand, if you bet on the underdog at +1.5 sets, they can either win the match or lose by one set and still cover the spread.
For the game spread, such as -4.5 games for the favorite and +4.5 games for the underdog, the focus is on the total games won in a match. If you bet on the favorite at -4.5 games, they would need to win by five games or more to cover the spread. Conversely, if you bet on the underdog at +4.5 games, they can lose by up to four games and still cover the spread.
These spread lines add an extra layer of complexity to tennis betting and can be appealing to bettors looking for more specific outcomes or higher potential payouts. By considering both the set spread and game spread, you have more opportunities to find value in different types of tennis matches and potentially increase your chances of winning bets.
