Australian Open Tennis Betting – The Basics
The demand for Australian Open tennis betting odds keeps growing as the youngest of the grand slam tournaments raises its profile with every passing year. Centrebet's Australian client base means that it treats the event with due respect as part of its commitment to offering the finest tennis betting odds in the world. The Australian Open started in 1905, which means that it is a few years younger than the French Open (1891), Wimbledon (1877) and US Open (1881), but it gets much more attention now than it did before the competition moved to Melbourne Park in 1988.
Australian Open Tennis Betting – Bet Types
Centrebet's range of Australian Open betting odds fall into two distinct sets. The first and most well known tennis betting option is futures betting. Basically, a bet on the championship winner, for example Roger Federer to take out the Australian Open men's singles title, is the simplest example of a futures bet.
Australian Open Match betting accounts for a good chunk of Centrebet's turnover, with it framing markets on singles encounters and selected doubles clashes from the first round right through to the finals. Odds are quoted on various markets, which cater for anything from the raw result through to the number of games that a certain player loses in a match.

Australian Open Tennis Betting – The Favourites - 2012
The names of Federer, Nadal and Djokovic are been the major players to watch during the Australian Open 2012. Between them, these three superstars of the sport had a strangle hold on the Australian Open trophy since 2006, and look set to battle it out again in 2012. In the women’s draw, it’s a far more even affair. Serena Williams holds the record for most championships won in the Australian Open era with 5 victories, and is always formidable on the hard courts of Melbourne. Last year’s champion Kim Clijsters is also one to look out for in 2012, as she looks beat off her rivals in front of her pseudo home crowd and go back-to-back.
Centrebet also provides sports book facilities on the other three Grand slam tournaments, offering US Open betting, Wimbledon odds, and French Open prices - as well as Davis Cup odds.
