aldric Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Re: It's a Knockout!!! Bank Doubled If you are that concerned that she is going to win why didn't you just stop where you were. From what I can see you were only £6ish down? Just cancel your other bets, run and move on to your next tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnlux Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 Re: It's a Knockout!!! Bank Doubled You mean 1.2 for the Serena lay mate?:unsure :okThanks mate, god knows where i was with that. Well done with Ferrer mate. Aye good luck, better to be safe than sorry I suppose. :ok Cheers Jack, it is a glory hunt after all but no need to lose it all.;) If you are that concerned that she is going to win why didn't you just stop where you were. From what I can see you were only £6ish down? Just cancel your other bets, run and move on to your next tournament. It's a good point aldric, but once i get involved in these tournaments i like to see them through to the end, win or lose. That may sound stupid but with the liability so low on this one there is still the possibility of a profit to be had all be it a small one but then the same goes for the loss. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnlux Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 Re: It's a Knockout!!! Bank Doubled As expected serena breezes through yet again. This is seriously looking as the one that could end the wining streak, especially after both Kuznetsova and Henin were knocked out today and they were both in serena's half of the draw. It looks as if i am looking for an upset or maybe Ivanovic to beat her in the final. Anyway on to the quarters:- Tournament: Qatar Telecom German Open Target: Serena Williams Next Match: v D. Safina (Fri 9th May):nana:@ 6-2 1-6 6-7 Bet: Lay Williams @ 1.2 Stake: £14.93 (Liability £7.47) Have decided to take an insurance bet in case williams goes all the way. If she wins then i may make a little profit. If she goes out then it will be a small loss. Serena Williams is now the favourite on betfair and is available for 1.97 to win outright. Insurance Bet: Serena Williams to win the Qatar Telecom German Open @ 1.97, Stake £20 Well wouldn't you just know it. Serena goes and loses the next match:wall. Never again will i be tempted into taking an insurance bet, should of just stuck with the plan and gone with it. Recovered lost stake money and £10 target but lost £20 on the outright so for the first time have finished a tournament with a loss. New stats stand:- Start Bank: £100 Current Bank: £210 P/L:£110 All in all i haven't won anything but haven't lost anything this week as today's loss just cancelled out ferrer's loss/win in the previous tournament:sad. Start a fresh next week with some more tournaments and a promise to never take an insurance bet again. Should of listened to aldric!!:lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnlux Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 Re: It's a Knockout!!! Bank Doubled Ok that time of the week again where i try to profit from the 5th fav's/Ranked to go out in their respective tournaments before the final.:ok 2 tournaments this week and it's back to rome for the wta and also off to hamburg,germany for the mens. Tournament 1: Hamburg Open Target: David Ferrer (Yet again ;)) First Match: v Minar/Lopez (Tues 13th May) Tournament 2: WTA Rome Open Target: Jelena Jankovic First Match: Srebotnik/Pennetta (Tues 13th May) Will update final opponents and bets for these matches once the ties have been settled from the first round.:ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnlux Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 Re: It's a Knockout!!! Bank Doubled here is the first bet for the Hamburg Open tournaments for this week. Tournament 1: Hamburg Open Target: David Ferrer First Match: v Minar (Tues 13th May 12.30pm) Bet: Lay Ferrer @ 1.29 Stake: £10.53 (Liability £3.05) Ferrer leads 1-0 on the h2h after a straight sets victory in rotterdam on the hard courts in 2006. He also has a better year to date record and better year to date game stats in what i see as the crucial areas.:D Jankovic will not play till wednesday as srebotnik and pennetta do not play till mid day on tuesday.:ok So i'll be back then with that first bet and the result from ferrer v ivo minar.

turnlux Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 Re: It's a Knockout!!! Bank Doubled here is the first bet for the Hamburg Open tournaments for this week. Tournament 1: Hamburg Open Target: David Ferrer First Match: v Minar (Tues 13th May 12.30pm) Bet: Lay Ferrer @ 1.29:$ 6-3 6-3 Stake: £10.53 (Liability £3.05) Easy win for ferrer in straights sets means i move on to bet 2 for the tournament. Not sure whats happening with the Jankovic bet as still waiting for the first round to be decided. If they decide to play 2 matches in 1 day to catch -up with the schedule then i may void the womens tournament as work commitments will prevent me from getting the bet on.:sad Tournament 1: Hamburg Open Round 3 Target: David Ferrer Match: v F.Verdasco No markets and odds up for this one yet, so expect this to take place on thursday, so will update before then. Having had a look at the stats it shows that they are 3-3 on the h2h with Verdasco 3-2 up on clay:eek. Ferrer has the better year to date record but year to date match stats look even. This could be a tricky tie for ferrer, which is good news for me.:ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnlux Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 Re: It's a Knockout!!! Bank Doubled Good luck mate. Cheers Jack and good luck with yours now you've decided to go back to it.:ok Just checked the WTA website and apparently it looks as if they will squeeze 2 matches in to 1 day, but according to the order of play the jankovic match won't take place till at least after 8.30pm so should still be able to make the bet for the first round.:clap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the Womens tournament is void this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which brings this weeks tournaments to an end after the cock-up with the wta rome open. Overall Stats now stand:- Start Bank: £100 Current Bank: £220 Profit: £120:loon :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnlux Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 Re: It's a Knockout!!! Bank Doubled Really doing well' date=' keep it up mate[/quote'] Cheers HLV, seems we've both hit a good patch. There is another 6 tournaments before the end of the month, which i'm hoping to get involved in, which could potentially boost the coffers to around £280:loon, But i would like to maybe get involved in the golf or motor racing to boost my interest a bit more. I've just got to work a way where you can bet on these from tournament to tournament. Depending on the odds, maybe worth laying the 5th fav in the outright to smaller stakes.:ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
