How Many Games Will Be Decided by Extra Points in Table Tennis Sports Betting
“How many games will be decided by extra points?” is a table tennis set-based betting market. You are predicting how many sets (games) in a match will go beyond 10–10 and be decided by extra points (for example, 12–10, 14–12, 16–14).
In table tennis, a set is normally won at 11 points, but if the score reaches 10–10, players must win by 2 clear points. That situation is called extra points (deuce).
How the Market Is Usually Offered
Bookmakers typically give options like:
- 0 games decided by extra points
- 1 game decided by extra points
- 2 games decided by extra points
- 3+ games decided by extra points
- Over/Under 1.5 extra-point games
This market applies to the entire match, not a single set.
Simple Example (Best of 5 Sets Match)
Final set scores:
- Set 1: 11–7
- Set 2: 12–10 (extra points)
- Set 3: 9–11

Total sets decided by extra points = 2
Winning bets:
- 2 games decided by extra points

Extra-point games = 2

Key Betting Tips
Focus on Evenly Matched Players
- Extra-point sets are more common when players have similar rankings and playing strength.
- Avoid this market in mismatched games.
Check Head-to-Head Records
- If past meetings show many 11–9, 12–10, or 14–12 sets, extra points are likely again.
Best of 7 Matches = Better Value
- Best of 7 matches offer more sets, increasing chances of multiple extra-point games.
- Over markets perform better here than in Best of 5.
Live Betting Strategy
- If the first set reaches 10–10, consider betting Over 1.5 extra-point games live.
- Tight matches often produce more than one deuce set.
Avoid High-Risk Leagues
- Lower-tier or youth leagues may have inconsistent scoring, making extra-point prediction unreliable.
