Tennis betting at B777: a two-player sport with rules of its own
Tennis offers something particular to bettors: only two possible winners, and a match split into sets and games that support many markets. If your B777 account includes tennis, here is how the common markets work, what happens when a player retires and why the short prices of favourites clash with betting bonus conditions.

The retirement rule
In tennis a player can retire injured mid-match. Each bookmaker has its own rule for that case: void the bet, let it stand if a set was completed, or pay the player who advances. It is one of the rules behind the most disputes and it sits in the operator's general betting terms. Read it once before you start betting on tennis.
Favourites, short odds and bonuses
Matches between a clear favourite and a lower-ranked player often price the favourite between 1.10 and 1.30. Illustrative example, not a B777 condition: $25 at 1.20 returns $30. With a betting bonus requiring 1.60 minimum odds, that bet clears nothing, even when it wins. So bonus players end up in markets such as games handicaps or set betting, which carry higher odds and more risk. General rules are in bonus terms.
Live tennis
Tennis is hugely popular in-play because every point moves the odds and a single break of serve can swing a market. It is easy to bet point by point; set an amount per match and keep to it.
Reading form without overreaching
Surface, schedule and recent matches all influence tennis results, which is why prices move so much before a match. None of that guarantees an outcome. If you use statistics, use them to decide whether a price looks fair to you, not as a reason to stake more.
