Match Point is a situation in a sporting contest where one of the competitors needs only one more point to win the match. A match point can occur in volleyball, tennis, or table tennis — that is, in sports where the game ends once a player or team reaches a specific score. In tennis, the “Total Match Points” bet allows bettors to predict the number of match-point situations that will occur during a game — that is, how many times one of the players will have an opportunity to close out the match. Such situations typically arise when the score reaches 5–4.
Possible outcomes
The possible outcomes of a “Total Match Points” bet are as follows:
Win: if the bettor correctly predicts the exact number of Match Points that occur during the match.
Loss: if the actual number of Match Points in the game is higher or lower than the bettor’s prediction.
Refund: applies if the match is officially declared void or does not take place.
