2008 Wimbledon Women's Semi-Finals Betting Preview
William Hill have opened 8 betting markets for each of the 2008 Wimbledon semi-finals taking place today.
At this late stage of the tournament, match betting markets are extremely popular and potentially lucrative. Any player to have reached the semi-finals should be capable of holding their own against the world’s best.
In the case of the semi-final between Jie Zheng and Serena Williams this means that the 4/1 odds on Zheng represent good value. While bookmakers have priced Williams on past form, the fact that Zheng is an unknown quantity may be of benefit to punters willing to take the risk of backing her in this big game.
Set betting is a popular alternative to match betting. Set betting is similar to scorecast betting in football, with punters required to predict the final score by sets. Set betting markets offer some great odds, for example a bet on Venus Williams winning her semi-final 2-1 pays out at 16/5. Meanwhile a bet on Elena Dementieva prevailing 2-1 in that same match pays out very generously at 6-1.
If predicting scores appeals to you, don’t miss out on William Hill's set betting specials. Correct predictions of the score in the first set can pay out some handsome odds, allowing punters to place several bets to increase their odds of earning a payout.
For live tennis betting and daily special offers we recommend William Hill.
