The Championships, Wimbledon is known across the planet as the crown jewel of the tennis world. This year’s tournament takes place between June 25-July 8 and around 128 players will be participating in the event. It’s a big deal for tennis fans and a great deal for sportsbook affiliates.
Creating Wimbledon Content
While tennis wagering isn’t exactly huge in North America, it’s very big business across Europe and the UK. Tennis matches you’ve never heard of in your life draw millions of pounds of action in the UK every year. And when Wimbledon rolls around, bookmakers are very busy people.
The good news for content providers is that tennis handicapping is pretty sparse on the Internet. (Though there are a few tennis handicappers out there.) Bettors are working off their own theories and that shifts the odds in the sportsbooks’ favor.
Don’t be afraid to post up plenty of Wimbledon-related content on your site alongside baseball and soccer. It’s probably even worth hiring a freelancer to do your tennis picks and previews. There’s a good chance it will draw plenty of new eyes to your site.
As always, it’s worth focusing marketing and keywords on international stars. Nationalism is a big part of why we pull for our favorite tennis stars. Outside of soccer, many countries like Romania don’t get too many chances to see their sports heroes on the international stage.
