Betting on ping-pong can't be called as popular as on soccer matches, hockey games or tournaments of big brother - tennis. But this is more of a plus than a minus: bookmakers are not as meticulous in checking the line and occasionally make mistakes with odds, creating the fool's market. However, even without valuables you can bet on ping pong and win.
Betting peculiarities
In Ping-Pong everything happens quickly: the average point takes no more than 8 seconds, a set lasts about 3 minutes, and the match takes from 20 minutes to 1 hour. If you believe the statistics, net playing time takes no more than 25% of the total duration of the match. The remaining dozens of minutes are spent on changing sides, challenging the umpire's decisions and, of course, the beautiful tossing of the ball up before serving.
With such dynamics, betting on table tennis should be done promptly if it is live. Bookmaker quotes change quickly and a handicap of 3-4 points can be won back in 1 minute or even less. Because of this, as a rule, bookmakers do not offer a handicap of less than 2.5 points.
Major tournaments
You can bet on ping-pong almost all year round: there are plenty of tournaments for both men and women. The top tournaments for the sport should include:
- European Championships. On even-numbered years there are individual tournaments, and on odd-numbered years there are team tournaments.
- World Championships. Held every two years. Beginning in 2021, the format of the tournament will change: first, regional selections will be held, at the end of which 128 athletes will compete for the title of World Champion.
- Summer Olympic Games. The closest competition will be at the Olympics in Japan, which will begin July 24, 2020.
- National Championships.
- T2 Diamond Series. Considered the most prestigious, where the world's 32 best athletes compete for ITTF ranking points, and the total prize pool of $1.5 million.
And almost all of the above tournaments are held not only with adult athletes, but also among juniors. And you can also follow online by downloading in betwinner app android for free.
