Even though they win the match, they have still dropped at least one set, so the bet is settled as a winner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your selected player loses the match, the bet also wins because they must have lost at least one set. The only losing scenario is when your chosen player wins in straight sets without conceding a set, such as <\/span><b>2\u20130<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><b>3\u20130<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This market is popular when backing favourites who are expected to win but may face enough resistance to concede a set. It is commonly available for ATP, WTA and Grand Slam matches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Betting Examples<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>Example 1 \u2013 Winning Bet<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;eb-table&#8221;]<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Selection<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Final Score<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Result<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Bet Outcome<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Carlos Alcaraz to lose at least one set<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Alcaraz wins 6\u20134, 3\u20136, 6\u20132<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Alcaraz loses one set<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">\u2705 Bet wins<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<strong>Explanation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although Alcaraz won the match, he lost the second set.

I picked up the sport at around age eight, and from that point on, sports wasn\u2019t just a hobby. It was much more like a way of life. My dad played a huge part in that \u2014 introducing me to everything from hoops and football, to Formula 1, boxing and UFC \u2014 and an active group of friends did the rest. By the time I was a teenager, I was already the one people turned to when they needed a match preview or a team breakdown that actually made sense. Once I turned 18, the casino side of things entered the picture. Slot mechanics, RTP, bonus structures \u2014 what started as curiosity quickly became another area I wanted to genuinely understand rather than just dabble in. Over time, those two worlds \u2014 sports and casino gaming \u2014 stopped being things I did for fun and became the thing I do for work. I wouldn\u2019t have it any other way.","sameAs":["https:\/\/linkedin.com\/in\/povilas-mancinskas"],"url":"https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/blog\/author\/povilas-mancinskas\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22634","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22634"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22634\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23915,"href":"https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22634\/revisions\/23915"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22638"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22634"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22634"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22634"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
