Table tennis is a lightning-fast game full of highs and lows. It was first played in Victorian Britain as a parlour game, then evolved into a sport played by British soldiers. It then became a world-wide phenomenon, and was introduced to the Olympics in 1988.
With its quick pace, high number of short games, and rapid reversals in form, table tennis is an ideal sport to bet on. If you’re a fan with a good knowledge of the game, you can put your insights to use with our table tennis betting markets and table tennis odds. You’ll find everything you need to get into table tennis betting at BoyleSports.

How do Table Tennis Odds Work?
All our table tennis odds are given as fractional odds. Take the example of odds at 10/1. If you won a 10/1 bet, you’d win back 10x your original stake. Plus, you get that stake back too. So, for a £10 bet, you’d win £100 and get your £10 back.
In reality, fractional odds are often a little more complicated, but they always work in the same way. The below table should help you understand a little more about how odds work.
• With a £1 stake and odds of 10/1, you would win £10, and once you add the returned stake of £1, the total winnings would be £11.
• For odds of 20/7, a £1 stake would result in £2.86 in winnings, and with the stake returned, the total becomes £3.86.
• At odds of 7/3, the winnings would be £2.33 from a £1 stake, and adding the returned stake, the total would be £3.33.
• For odds of 19/24, a £1 stake would yield £0.79 in winnings, and with the stake returned, the total is £1.79.
• Lastly, with odds of 5/16, the winnings would be £3.20 from a £1 stake, and adding the stake back, the total would be £4.20.
The odds you see for any table tennis bet are an estimation of how likely that bet is to happen. The odds will depend on a range of factors, like the current form of the players in a match and the recent history of results together.
