Table Tennis betting
The short answer
Table tennis betting means staking money on who wins a match, by how many games, or how many points are played. A game goes to 11 points with a two-point lead needed, and most matches are best of five or seven games. A match can't end level, so match winner has two outcomes.

At a glance
01Markets
Match winner and Game handicap are the usual starting points, though what's open changes from one table tennis fixture to the next.
Who wins the match?
Pick the player or pair who wins the required number of games. There's no draw.
Look at head-to-head records, as some playing styles match up badly.
By how many games?
At -1.5 the favourite must win by two games or more, so 3-0 or 3-1 in a best of five.
Check the format. A best of seven gives a favourite more room.
Over or under the line?
Add every point across the match. The number of games decides most totals.
Long deuce games can take a total over the line on their own.
What's the exact result in games?
Pick the final score, such as 3-1. It's harder to get right than the winner and pays more.
Keep stakes small, especially in a best of seven.
Who wins the next game?
Winner or total points for a single game.
Games are short, so a slow start can be hard to recover.
02Format
A few simple rules drive every total and handicap.
First to 11 points, with a two-point lead. From 10-10, play carries on until someone is two clear.
Team events and early rounds often use a shorter format than finals.
Every rally scores a point, whoever served.
Service passes after every two points, and after every point from 10-10.
Partners hit the ball in turn, so a good pair can beat stronger singles players.
Each side can take one short time-out, often used to stop a run of points.
03Settlement
Retirements are not common, but they do happen. Markets already decided, such as a first game winner, may stand, while a match or total bet may be void or settle on the rules for that market.
Check the format as well before you bet, because a handicap or correct score only makes sense against the right number of games. The betting rules cover how each market settles.
04In-play
Points come very fast, so prices can move before you've finished reading them.
A player can win several in a row within seconds. Watch for a time-out, which often comes just after.
Serve is a big edge at the top level. Compare the score with who has just served.
From 10-10 every point matters, and the price can flip with each rally.
One game is worth less in a best of seven than in a best of five, and the price should reflect that.
To close a table tennis position before the end, lay the side you backed at the current price. The live betting guide explains how.

A game goes to 11, and a player has to lead by two. At 10-10 it continues until someone is two points ahead.
No. Play continues until one player or pair has won the required number of games, so match winner has two outcomes.
Usually best of five or best of seven. Finals tend to be longer, so check the format before you look at a handicap or a correct score.
After every two points, and then after every point once the score reaches 10-10.
Multiply your stake by the decimal odds. ₹500 at 1.65 returns ₹825, which is ₹325 profit.
