Other sports (tennis, basketball, Basque pelota) - Chile

Although the lion's share of betting in Chile falls on football, tennis, basketball and Basque pelota consistently hold the interest of the audience. These disciplines give a rich line of markets, a good live rhythm and a convenient calendar (morning/afternoon matches for express trains, evening matches for single bets). Below is a structured guide to each sport with examples of markets and bankroll practices at CLP.

1) TENNIS

Where and what they bet on

ATP/WTA/Grand Slams, ATP Challenger/ITF (often with local wildcards and familiar names), Davis Cup/Billie Jean King Cup.

Main markets:

Match outcome (ML), game odds (game ±), total games/set total.
Set winner, set score (2-0, 2-1/3-1, etc. On majors).
Tie-break - yes/no, total aces, double mistakes (depend on the statistics provider).
Live markets: the next game/break, the total of the remaining games who will win the set.

How to read the match

Coverage: soil/hard/grass → draw style, importance of serving/receiving.

Form and calendar: back-to-back after the final, long-distance flights, medical service (tapes, pauses).

Hallmark players: "handout" vs "controller of the rally," weakness of the second ball, percentage of realization of break points.

Live approach (practice)

After an early break, the favorite to watch the reverse head start on the opponent, if he confidently holds the serve.

Tie-break propensity: players with high% of aces and low% of breaks → Tie-break - yes on fast surfaces.

Physics in the third set (or in the 5-grid) - the market for totals: the subsidence of the speed of the first serve often pulls to TB.

Bankroll (tennis)

Singles: 0.75-1.25% bankroll; live "by games" - up to 0.5%.

CLP nuance: keep the betting "rungs" (CLP 1,000/2,000/5,000/10,000) and avoid dogging.

2) BASKETBALL

Where and what they bet on

LNB (Liga Nacional de Básquetbol de Chile), regional leagues/cups;

International club tournaments (LatAm-region/continent), FIBA windows of national teams;

NBA/EuroLeague are popular day/night express slots.

Key markets:

Match line (win/handicap), points total (overall/team), quarter/half totals.
Players (NBA/major tournaments): points/rebounds/assists (PRA), three-point "top/bottom."
Alternative odds/totals for combining.

How to read the game

Pace and defense (DRtg): down-tempo teams → TM totals and odds on an outsider "+" are valuable.

Back-to-back and trips: fatigue/rotation → TM and caution to the favorite fora.

Match-ups: who defends the leader of the opposing team; fouls of "anchor" big men break the rhythm.

Live approach

The spread of quarters: the first 6-8 minutes "probe" - then catch totals at the peaks of jerks.

Fouls and bonus: with an early "bonus" in the quarter - the trend for TB (frequent penalties).

Endings: if the team has a weak percentage of penalties, there is a head start against in the "foul game."

Bankroll (basketball)

Single: 0.7-1.0%; prop-betas by players - 0.4-0.8%.

For the LNB, check for venue pledge/move news, schedule density and microtraumas - the line shifts quickly.

3) BASQUE PELOTA (PELOTA VASCA)

Discipline in brief

Basque pelota is a traditional species with different modalities (mano/palm/sister/hai-alai), where they play against the wall in the pediment. In Chile it is found in the format of club halls/gables and at festivals; bets from operators appear occasionally (more often for international tournaments and high-alai).

Markets and nuances

The outcome of the match/game, handicap on points, total points, less often - score by periods.

Style of play: speed of the draw, stability of reception, "series" on the pitch.

Match-up: pair synergy in paired modalities (front/back role allocation).

Live and bankroll

Live is limited - focus on pre-match and small shares (0.3-0.6%).

It is important to understand the rules to how many points a specific modality plays and how points are awarded in case of errors.

4) Express and combination

Tennis + basketball: carefully combine statistical TM/TB with set markets (avoid "skewing" risk into one timing).

Add "safety" alternative lines (for example, the total is just below the base one for TB and the head start is "softer").

The share of express trains in the session is ≤30% of all rates (the rest are single).

5) Payments and limits in CLP

Choose operators with cash desks in Chilean pesos, transparent commissions and quick TEF conclusions.

Keep a daily limit of total bets (e.g. CLP 20,000-50,000 for hobby mode) and a session timer.

6) Responsible game - checklist

1. Deposit/time limits are included from day one.

2. Plan scenarios ahead of time (not "catch up" on a snatch/break).

3. Breaks: After 2-3 bets, pause for 10-15 minutes.

4. No loans: play only with "free" means.

5. With impulsivity - cool-off/self-exclusion in one click.

7) Quick cheat sheets by market

Sport	Base	Live triggers	What to avoid
Tennis	ML, game handicap, TG	early break ↔ reverse odds; tie-break propensity	Dogon after each break
Basketball	fora, Total (total/com.) early "bonus" on fouls → TB; weak penalties in the end → handicap against	long express chains "in quarters"
Pilot	outcome, points handicap, total	limited live - play prematch with a small share	blind bets without knowledge of modality

Outside of football, Chilean bettors actively play tennis (deep statistics and pace), basketball (quarter dynamics and rich live) and pointwise - Basque pelota (niche tradition). The key to a stable, comfortable experience is single bets with well-thought-out logic, neat live, tight CLP limits and responsible play tools.
