When we hear about bookmakers, sports betting usually comes to mind, more specifically those related to football and horse racing. However, when it comes to betting, any sport is equally valid. So apart from football betting, there is also tennis betting. This sport has its origin in a game devised by some monks to do some exercise. To locate its origins, we must go back to medieval France of the 13th century, with regard to the birth of tennis as such. Now, the first bookmakers, understood as more or less regulated physical establishments, emerged in the United Kingdom in 1845. From that date, citizens could bet on one or another sport while contributing to the state coffers, since betting had been legalized. In the case of Spain, the bookmakers took a little longer to arrive: in 1929 La Quiniela emerged, although it was not officially played until two decades later. However, in our country, games of chance such as poker were not legalized until 1977. As for the great tennis players in history, there are many: Rafa Nadal, Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras… And Of course, there are also women tennis players who have left their mark on the courts: the Williams sisters (Serena and Venus Williams), María Sharápova, Steffi Graf, Chris Evert, Margaret Court and, fortunately, many more. Going back to what we mentioned about bookmakers, physical establishments were opened, which means that the user who bets goes to the house in person. This face-to-face modality has been complemented (and in many points almost replaced) by the telematic modality. Today, tennis bookmakers can also be found on the Internet. In most of these websites, you have to create an account with your personal data (to identify yourself), associate it with a credit card or bank account (in order to have in it the money deposited with which you are going to operate) and carry out the bet by following the steps indicated on the corresponding website. If the user wins, the money is included in the bank account / card provided. If he loses, he is deducted. At the end of the day, the same process as always is followed but using an electronic device (computer, tablet, mobile…). Now, although the operation of online betting houses is practically the same in all of them, there are some nuances that can make the user feel more comfortable betting in some than in others. In this article we mention the best tennis betting houses in Spain.
