What is the best way to tell whether a super tie-break counts as a tennis set?
Direct answer
A match tie-break (often first to 10 points) is a deciding match format; whether it counts as a “set” or as one “game” for a bet depends on that market’s printed rules. Bet365, for example, counts match tie-breaks as one game in specified game-total markets.
How to use this answer
A definitive win, loss, void or refund cannot be established from the question alone. Identify the operator, the exact market, the date and the relevant official result, then check the rules that applied to the bet.
Look for 'match tie-break' or 'third-set match tie-break' in the event rules; totals and game-count markets may treat it differently.
Shortened or unfinished matches may be treated differently by market. Record the event format, score at suspension and the specific retirement, abandonment or overs rule rather than assuming every selection is void.
