Daily Result: £261.50
Another good day results wise. Traded two matches from Nottingham on Sky and one from Ordina on EuroSport. Those Ancic games in Holland are throwing up some great trading opportunities!
First match up was the Paraguay shirt wearing sulk fest that is Andy Murray. Regular readers will know trading Murray games recently has been most profitable and today was no exception. And fair play to him really. Went a break down early in the first but managed to pull things together today, dealt with Mirnyi's serve and the awful conditions well and deserved the win. Even if he is Scottish. ;-)
The only disappointment with the game was after building up £80 green on the pair I managed to reduce it to £30 in about 2 points through nothing more than a complete lack of concentration. Having just got off the phone I'd failed to realise Mirnyi was serving to save the match and opened a shocker of a positon that I had to bail from.
Next up was Gasquet v Bracciali. Pretty unnoteworthy really bar Bracciali's insistence on blaming the court virtually every time he lost a point. And again I managed to wipe out an early £80 green on Gasquet through opening a poor position.
Then moved onto the Ancic v Sluiter game from Ordina. Yet another cracking match with Ancic again proving his tenacity and fighting spirit after going a set down. This was a fantastic game to trade.
When Ancic lost the first set the players were virtually evens the pair. But the prices were very volatile and the market was unsure where to settle. Which meant there were wrong prices all over the place to be snapped up for those quick enough. It's games like that where the one click trading software I use pays for itself. As the prices were so volatile I was simply playing with the green I'd accumulated in the first set, rather than risking a large red, but even at much reduced stakes still managed to build my positions before going back to normal trading at the start of the third set. Ended up making £145 and enjoying a great game of tennis.
You did have to feel sorry for Sluiter. The home crowd were right behind him but started leaving in droves before the end of the match to watch the Holland v Argentina game. That extra support and atmosphere might have made the difference.
Anyway, if you haven't checked out his results recently this guy is having a good World Cup betting wise so why not have a gander at his blog too?

Hi kingkenny,
Not sure exactly how new to trading you are so sorry if this is too simple an answer but basically it's like this.
1) Anticpate which way the market will move (Let's say for example you think Murray's price will get smaller.)
2) Back Murray for your chosen stake.
3) Watch the market move the way you anticpated it too.
4) Lay off your Murray bet.
5) Either lay off the same amount for a free bet on Murray or lay off more than you backed for an equal profit on each player. (If you select the right option in Betfair it will show you this future position.)
6) Repeat as often as possible making a small profit each time.
Hope that helps and sorry if it's too simple. Do let me know if you meant something else.
