1xBet's mobile betting service allows you to bet on every tennis market via either its app or the mobile website, and it works on budget Android phones. For people in Pakistan the main difficulty is timing, since a number of important matches begin late at night or before dawn. This guide explains how to keep up with tennis on a small screen by using alerts, having a simple match tracker and adopting some habits that help to save both battery and data.
When the Grand Slams Play in Pakistan Time
The Grand Slams take place at different times during the day in Pakistan: the Australian Open is mainly held in the morning and afternoon, Roland Garros and Wimbledon occur in the afternoon and evening, and the US Open goes on into the night.
| Australian Open | January | about 05:00 | about 13:00 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roland Garros | late May to early June | about 14:00 | about 23:00 |
| Wimbledon | late June to July | about 15:00 | about 17:30 on Centre Court |
| US Open | late August to September | about 20:00 | about 04:00 the next morning |
Sri Lanka is half an hour ahead of Pakistan Standard Time and therefore readers should add thirty minutes to each of the times given in the table; since all the start times are only approximate, it is necessary to check the daily schedule of the matches on the official tournament website as the sessions may be moved by an hour when the clocks change. If you know the time window in advance, you can plan your tennis betting on your phone in relation to your sleeping hours and decide which matches to watch live and which ones to check in the morning.
Placing bets at 4 a.m.: using alerts rather than alarms
It isn't necessary for you to stay awake during every match if you want to follow it on your phone. For example, if you're in Pakistan and the night session there begins roughly at 4 a.m., some adjustments to the settings and changes to your habits will take care of most of the task.
- You can add players or tournaments to your Favourites; this way the matches that interest you will appear at the top of the tennis list and you won't have to scroll through hundreds of matches on a small screen.
- Set match alerts only for the matches you're interested in, because alerts for all matches would wake you up uselessly, whereas having a short list means your phone will only disturb you when you're following a match.
- Make your pre-match bets before you go to bed; decide on them when you're awake and calm, following your regular checks, so that you're not forced to make a decision in the middle of the night.
- If you want to place live bets, set a single alarm for when the match starts rather than setting one for each set; the alarm will get you to the screen at the beginning of the match, after which you can decide if it's worth staying up.
- Instead, check the result and your bet history in the morning rather than keeping on refreshing all night; when you wake up the final score and the status of your bets will still be there and you'll save both sleep and battery as well as data.
Decisions made when one is tired at 4 a.m. are usually not good ones.
The Tennis Match Tracker and Live Score
The match tracker provides a basic live display of a tennis match and is the simplest method of keeping track of it on a small screen; it shows the score at each point, who is currently serving, the score in sets and games, along with a simple diagram of the court.
Live scores are also included in the tennis section; the matches listed show their current score so that you can check several of them without having to open each one. Simply tap on a match if you want the tracker and its full list of markets.
Since the device transmits text and brief updates rather than video, it uses a great deal less data than a video stream. For a budget phone on a slow connection, this is usually the most practical method of following a match over a long night session.
That means the tracker is well suited to the night sessions mentioned above since you can look at the score, decide if the match is worth your attention, and return to sleep if it isn't.
The tracker may lag behind the actual game by a few seconds, so don't place a bet on it too quickly.
Battery and Data on a Long Five-Setter
Because a men's Grand Slam match can last for hours and this drains the battery of an inexpensive phone quickly, a few habits will help you to get through to the final point with both battery and data remaining.
- On mobile data it is better to use the text tracker than video since the tracker displays the score step by step and uses considerably less data than a video stream, something that is important when the connection is slow or limited.
- It's better to keep the app or the page open rather than to reload it, since every reload involves reloading the page and continuously switching between them wastes both battery power and data.
- Reduce the brightness of the screen and close the other applications since the screen takes up a lot of power and the apps running in the background also contribute to this.
- It is necessary to charge your phone before a night session; you should charge it before the match begins and have a charger or power bank close at hand in case it dies during a deciding set.

Bet Responsibly
Betting ought to be entertainment that you fund with money you are able to lose. Before you begin, decide on a limit for how much you will deposit and a time limit as well, and never chase your losses. You should only place a bet when you are calm and not under the influence, and never bet money that you have borrowed. If betting ceases to be enjoyable, then you should take a break. The betting sites provide tools such as deposit limits, time-outs and voluntary exclusion, all of which can be found in your account settings. If betting is causing you problems, you should speak to someone you trust or contact a professional support service.
