Daily Result: £53.45
After a break from trading yesterday it was back to the tennis today with mixed results. Looked in on three matches, lost on one, won on two.
Lost on the Henin Clijsters match from Hastings. Honestly, the only thing worse than my trading on this was some of the tennis itself. And believe me that's beating myself up. Some of the tennis was simply an embarrassment. And embarrassed is how I'd feel if someone analysed my trades for this match!
On the face of it it was a great game to trade. Started at evens the pair and there were some nice service breaks. I did build up some early green but ended up £140 red the pair early doors. Worked this back to £40 green the pair and then reduced it to £25 the pair. At this point it was 10 minutes until coverage from Nottingham started and I was saying to myself "Just leave it and settle for the profit". Naturally I didn't and tried to nick a few quid following a line call. But that was overruled and I was left waiting 5 seconds, unable to cancel my back, knowing I was going to get a crap price. (Don't you just hate it when that happens? So frustrating and nothing you can do!) Next point saw a ridiculous net cord that effectively saved the break go against me. I still hadn't got out and I was left looking at a loss again with too short a price on Henin to effectively level it out.
The bad luck on the net cord and overrule didn't help but the reality is I just had a shocker on this one. Had already been lucky to turn it around once and should have just left it. Sometimes feel I get too blase about profits. Have to remind myself that £30 is £30. Average even that a day and that's £900 a month. Do that until the wedding and it would make an enormous contribution to the costs.
Anyway, took a short break, suitably took the piss out of myself for throwing away a winning position and then moved on to the Nottingham games. Made around £80 on the Gasquet v Soderling game and £40 on the Bjorkman v Seppi match to finish the day just over £50 up.
Probably give the tennis a miss tomorrow in favour of the 3rd ODI between England and Sri Lanka. I know Lanka are without Murali this time round but the prices still look interesting.

No matter how much experience you may have trading on various sports. There comes the day when you make a right Bol**cks of a trade. I know I did the other night (Australia v Croatia). Write it off straight away. Take the loss and try not to be so greedy in future. Tomorrow's another day, another opportunity to earn a buck. Be lucky, Sad Act.
