What Can You Bet on in Table Tennis?

Match winner is the main table tennis market, and you'll find it on nearly every singles match on the professional circuit. There's no draw, so it's a straight pick between two players. Most betting sites add a few more markets around it:

  • Game handicap: one player gets a head start or deficit in games, such as -1.5, so the favorite has to win by at least 2 games.
  • Point handicap: a spread on total points won across the whole match.
  • Totals: over/under on the number of games in the match, or on points in a single game.
  • Correct score: the exact result in games, such as 3-1 or 4-2.
  • Outrights: the winner of a tournament, usually the men's and women's singles.

Matches are best of 5 or best of 7 games. Each game goes to 11 points, and at 10-10 a player has to win by 2. Check the format before you bet totals or correct score, since a best-of-7 match gives a slow starter far more room to recover.

Which Table Tennis Tournaments Can You Bet On?

World Table Tennis (WTT), the professional circuit set up by the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF), runs events almost every week of the year. From the top down:

  • Grand Smash: up to 4 a year. Each lasts 10 days and has 64-player singles draws. The 2026 United States Smash ran from June 26 to July 5 in Ontario, California.
  • WTT Champions: smaller events limited to the highest-ranked players.
  • Star Contender and Contender: the events that fill most of the calendar and give lower-ranked players a route up.
  • WTT Finals: the season-ending event, held in Hong Kong in December 2026.

The ITTF World Championships switch between individual and team events. London hosted the team championships in 2026. The individual championships go to Astana, Kazakhstan, in 2027, and the team event moves to Fukuoka, Japan, in 2028.

How Does Live Betting on Table Tennis Work?

Table tennis is one of the fastest sports to bet in play. Rallies last seconds, so prices change after almost every point, and many betting sites pause the market briefly between points. The usual live markets are the winner of the current game, the next game winner, total points in the current game and the match winner.

A single game moves the match price a lot. Going 1-0 down in a best-of-5 match leaves a player needing 3 of the next 4, so the odds react sharply after each game ends. Your video stream may also run a few seconds behind the data feed that sets the prices, so don't expect to beat the market on a point you've just watched.

What Should You Watch for When Betting on Table Tennis?

  • Style matchups: defensive choppers and players with unusual rubbers can trouble opponents who rarely face them. Head-to-head records often show this more clearly than rankings do.
  • Workload: big events run singles, doubles and mixed doubles at the same time, so a player entered in all three can play several matches in a day.
  • Serve at the end of a game: players serve 2 points each in turn, then 1 each from 10-10. Live point markets late in a close game hinge on who's serving.
  • Small leagues: many betting sites also price minor leagues that run matches around the clock. Form is hard to research there, and markets are thin, so keep stakes small.

FAQ

Table Tennis Betting FAQs

Can a table tennis match end in a draw?
No. Matches are played as best of 5 or best of 7 games, and every game needs a 2-point winning margin, so there's always a winner.
What does a -1.5 game handicap mean in table tennis?
The player you back has to win by at least 2 games. In a best-of-5 match, a 3-0 or 3-1 win covers -1.5, but a 3-2 win doesn't.
When can you bet on table tennis?
All year. World Table Tennis runs events almost every week, from Contender events up to Grand Smashes, and the season ends with the WTT Finals in December.
