Alright — let’s break down “Home/Home” in Double Result betting for tennis clearly, with examples so you can see exactly how it works.
1. What “Double Result” Means in Tennis Betting
In tennis betting, Double Result (sometimes called Half-Time/Full-Time in other sports) is when you predict:
- Who will be leading after the 1st set
- Who will win the entire match
Both parts of your prediction must be correct for your bet to win.
2. What “Home/Home” Means
- First “Home” → The Home player must win the first set.
- Second “Home” → The Home player must also win the match.
If the home player loses either the first set or the match, the bet loses.
3. Example Scenario
Let’s say in the Australian Open, you have:
- Home player: Alex de Minaur (listed as Home)
- Away player: Daniil Medvedev (listed as Away)
If you bet Home/Home, you are predicting:
- Alex de Minaur wins Set 1
- Alex de Minaur wins the match
Example of a Winning Bet:
| Set 1 | Set 2 | Set 3 | Match Winner | Bet Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6–4 | 7–5 | — | Home | Win |
Example of a Losing Bet (Set 1 lost):
| Set 1 | Set 2 | Set 3 | Match Winner | Bet Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3–6 | 6–4 | 6–3 | Home | Lose |
| (Even though Home wins the match, losing Set 1 kills the bet.) |
Example of a Losing Bet (Match lost):
| Set 1 | Set 2 | Set 3 | Match Winner | Bet Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6–4 | 3–6 | 4–6 | Away | Lose |
4. Key Points to Remember
- It’s riskier than just betting on match winner, because you need the first set and the match correct.
- Odds are higher than simply betting “Home to Win” because of the extra condition.
- Best used when you expect the Home player to start strong and maintain momentum.
5. Betting Tips for Home/Home
- Look at First Set Records – Check the player’s history of winning first sets.
- Consider Playing Style – Aggressive starters often suit this bet.
- Surface Advantage – Clay vs hard court can matter for strong starts.
- Opponent’s Slow Start History – If the Away player often loses the first set, it’s a good sign.
