Robin Soderling v Marin Cilic

2011-02-20T13:52:00.006Z

Jenni Mostrum stokes her pussy!

Soderling was broken 1st game of the match but since then has been on top. Finally got th ebreak back for 4-4 and held for 5-4* when I backed at 1.34.

Terrible TB from Soderling lost it 10-8 but never had a set point as kept giving points away at crucial moments. Cilic to serve 1st in the 2nd so I hope Soderling can do what he did in the 1st set.

Gonna try and trade my way out of this now let's hope I'm lucky!

I think the gambling Gods are well and truly telling me my time is up! I held with Soderling right through his dodgy patch then I decide to back the serve for a few games and bang Soderling breaks! Arse!

Well it's been fun. But now it's time to say toodleooh. May see you all for the US Open.

Happy Punting! And Good Luck!

Klara Zakopalova v Elena Baltacha

2011-02-20T12:47:00.002Z

Zakopalova was 5*-0 up in the 1st set when I got on at 1.11
Typical Baltacha broke her but was then broken again for 6-1 and set. Baltacha yet to hold a game then!

It doesn't bode well for the World Cup if they can't even keep their scoreboard working in Qatar! And no streaming? What is that all about. I really don't know why each tournament doesn't broadcast it on their own website if they don't have a broadcaster. It would mean more site traffic keep their sponsors happier and thus raise more money. And us punters could watch the action! Everyone a winner :-)

Well it's not very often that a player only wins 4 out of 7 service games yet still wins 6-1 6-2!!!! Good old Baltacha!

Klara Zakopalova Wins 6-1 6-2
Profit: £11.88

Magdalena Rybarikova v Rebecca Marino

2011-02-20T01:21:00.005Z

Well that was nice and easy in and out. Green left on Rybarikova for now.

Even green at 1.40 for £8.15 on both.

5*-2 back on Ryb at 1.28.

Layed off at 1.22 all green on Ryb

Evened up @ 1.19 as Ryb takes set 6-2

£13.56 on both

Marino has retired!

Rybarikova Wins 6-2 ret'd

Profit: £13.56

Life is a rollercoaster, Just got to ride it!

2011-02-20T00:15:00.002Z

Well since I last left you with my punt on Arsenal I have more ups than downs in quantity but, alas not financially. As you will see below I have lost £1,422.97 over the last 3 weeks. And so it is time to bid farewell to punting as I did before. Whilst the loss can be justified as only coming from earlier winnings that is most definitely the mindset of an addict like myself!

HOWEVER!!!! As I am an addict it wouldn't be right and proper to go out with one last challenge LOL

Tomorrow is Sunday and on my original forum thread I went from around £100 on the Sunday to £10,000 by Thursday. I may not repeat that but I'll have a crack. So I have loaded up my last ever (for now) deposit to Betfair of £100 and have set my deposit limit to £0.00.

Come Thursday night regardless of what I have or don't have I am withdrawing the lot and self excluding for 6 months. That will at least give me the chance to come back for the US Open if I wish.

See below for the bets from the last 3 weeks: (the first figure is the profit or loss per bet and the 2nd is the running total. In chronological order from oldest at the bottom)

Good Luck to you all, Happy Punting and don't let the gambling take too firm a grip!

Ups & Downs!

2011-01-30T13:13:00.000Z

Sorry not been posting much of late but the silly hours I was keeping for Aussie tennis finally caught up with me and I was dying of man flu last week!

I have still been having the odd punt. Indeed I got as high as £188 or there abouts only to go back down to £6. Them's the breaks I guess. Overall I lost my entire bank AGAIN!!

So here we are at the end of January and my loss for 2011 stands at £217.86.

So with more reasonable hours to be kept over the coming weeks I have loaded up £500 hoping I can get that profit figure into the green by 1st Feb. I know it's chasing but hey I tend to do the things that you shouldn't! LOL

If I lose it then I feel it will probably be time to walk away again and just leave the punting alone.

As for Andy Murray, gutted for him again. I still feel he will win a slam, and I think it will be this year, with Wimbledon and the US a possibility. Well done to Novak though, hopefully the Federer Nadal procession is over (but that's been said before!)

Anyway on with the punting and I've backed Arsenal from the off. :o

Tennis: Alisa Kleybanova v Simona Halep

2011-01-20T02:25:00.000Z

Hello everyone. Sorry not going to be blogging as normal tonight. The lack of sleep is catching up with me and I feel like crap. Thought I'd have 1 punt tonight so that is what I did and now I'm off to bed to get some much needed sleep!

The bet was GVL's favourite type! No not just WTA but backing the pre match dog after she wins the 1sts set! Halep won the 1st set so I backed at 2.24. I think she got the break for a 2*-1 lead in the 2nd at which point I layed off for £0.00 exposure on Kleybanova.

I then decided to get back on Halep when serving for the match at 5*-4 @ odds of 1.29. Of course she was broken! So into the TB we went which Halep dominated from start to finish.

Simona Halep Wins 6-3 7-6
Profit: £12.88

Tennis Florian Mayer v Kei Nishikori

2011-01-19T02:41:00.000Z

The score is 4-6 3-6 6-0 1-3 when I back Nishikori at 1.19. Not sure what happenned in the 3rd set but seems to be on top otherwise. Just 3 holds from the match.

1*-4 Make that 2 holds after a love hold to consolodate the break.

2-4* A hold to 15 from Mayer keep going Kei!!

2*-5 Holds to 15. Break for GSM? That would be splendid!

0-15! ... 15-15 ... 30-15 ... 30-30 get the MP! ... 40-30 ,,, Hold.

3-5* Clutch serving now Nishikori please! 15-0 ... 30-0 ... 40-0 ... GSM

Kei Nishikori Wins 6-4 6-3 0-6 6-3
Profit: £1.81

Tennis: Regina Kulikova v Chanelle Scheepers

2011-01-19T00:59:00.002Z

Kulikova leads 3*-2 in the 1st set when I lay her at 1.16. Can't be having that price so early. A lay!! I know! Hope Scheepers can get a break back.

Oooh deuce from 40-15! BP and I'm out thankyou very much Chanelle. FFS not taken at 1.23!!! now deuce again! GP ... Deuce getting out at 1.20 ... aaargh ffs market take my bets!!! Still on original bet! ... GP ... deuce and finally matched at 1.20!!

£1.98 on both.

Grrrrr now BP ... Deuce ... BP #3 Break!! FFS could have got mech better still it's a 20% return for a couple of minutes work.

Scheepers leads 3-5* now! Kulikova out to 1.85! should have held my bet! Hindsight eh?

Tennis: Kateryna Bondarenko v Shuai Peng

2011-01-18T00:48:00.013Z

K Bond won the first set 6-2 so thought I'd lump on at 1.44. Ok so she's not the looker in the family but still worth a punt! Plus I think she's probably the dirtier of the two. Anyway I have snuck a pic of her and her sister in for good measure :-) I'm just imagining that that is not a trophy but something else LOL

Peng to serve 1st in the 2nd set could do with a nice early break to keep the heart rate down!

0*-1 Peng held so need K Bond to keep her levels up. Holds

1-1* Now for the break? 0-15 ... 0-30 Oi Oi ... 0-40!!! ... Break!! Yay!!

2*-1 Odds quite high considering the way the match has gone @ 1.23. I'm not greening out at that I was hoping for 1.12!! I hope the greed doesn't hurt me! 0-15 ... 0-30 FFS ... 0-40 ... Break!! Bloomin women!!!

2-2* Make up for it now then you dirty minx! 0-15 ... 15-15 ... 30-15 ... 30-30 ... 40-30 really should have won that point so many chances! ... And a hold! Not good!

2*-3 FFS here we go 0-15 ... 15-15 ... 30-15 ... 40-15 ... Great hold to stop the momentum!

3-3* Now for a 7th game rule break? 0-15 ... 15-15 ... 30-15 ... 40-15 K Bond dominating the points but just not got that killer shot to end them then making errors looking for it! ... Holds

3*-4 Kateryna really deserves to be a break up this set still just hope she can have another clutch service game! 15-0 ... 30-0 ... 30-15 ... 30-30 FFS ... 30-40 KATERYNA!!!! ... Break!! That was a shocking 4 points!!

3-5* Flippin women! Dominating the match then Boom... brain Fart!!! Let's get the break back then! 0-15 ... 15-15 ... 30-15 yes well you might look at your racquet in disgust!! ... 40-15 ... 40-30 great return! 3 more please! ... Deuce HA HA Peng!! ... Great play Bondarenko all Peng has is moonball defence ... Deuce ... SP too passive from Bond that time ... Set Peng!

Well that's tennis for you! 1 player dominates for 705 of the match yet it's all square! Does K Bond have the mental strength to come thorugh? Not sure but if she hold her 1st game I fancy her to go 3-0* up in the decider so have to stick on her for now!

Hmm Peng breaks to 15 1st game without hitting a winner! 3 UE's and a DF from Bondarenko. You can see she is trying too hard! Understandably frustrated she has not already won probably!

Anyway Fag time for me I expect it will be 3*-1 on my return! ;-)

Ah 1-2* I see still not the end of the world! I see from the stat she must have saved some BP's last game so well done! Now for the break back please!

Flippin stream has stopped working!! Aaaarrrgghh!! Got another one now! 0-15 c'mon!! ... 15-15 ... 30-15 ... 30-30 fight Bonda!! ... 40-30 ... Deuce nice ... BP TAKE IT!!!! ... Yes!!!

2*-2 Now HOLD! FFS Bonda when it's a put away put it AWAY!! ..0-15 ... 15-15 ... 15-30 ... 30-30 nice shot ... 40-30 take it! ... Holds!!

3-2* Now break her!!! ... 15-0 .. 15-15 ... 30-15 God this stream is so laggy! ... 30-30 get the BP!! ... 30-40 TAKE IT!!! ... BREAK!!!! JUSTICE!!!!

GP #2 ... Deuce getting worried now! ... BP FFS ... Deuce!!! ... c'mon Kateryna! ... BP #2 rubbish not the time for a back hand sliced drop shot! ... Break!! FFS Bondarenko that was given away!!

Tonight's tennis

2011-01-17T23:57:00.000Z

Just a couple of thoughts I'd make note of so that I can be ridiculed later for my great tipping abilities!

Firtsly Zvonereva!!! Available to lay at 1.06 v Bammer!!! Are you kidding me? OK Vera played very well last 12 months but 1.06!!!

If she doesn't go out to at least 1.10 then I don't know... I know I'll not post a picture of a sexy strumpet on this post! However if she does I will so there will be a nice visual record if people want to check back but can't be bothered to actually read! :-)

My other observation would be Nalbandian. He was 1.80 earlier but I see now that has shortened to 1.75. Still very large imho against Hewitt. May back that one from the off in the morning work permitting.

Anyway enjoy your tennis tonight and Happy Punting!!!

Football: Egypt v Uganda

2011-01-17T23:50:00.000Z

I saw this match while I was at work and thought all my Christmases had come at once! Egypt can play a bit and Uganda are tosh!

I duly lumped on Egypt and layed my stake off after they went 1-0 up as couldn't monitor the match properly.

Egypt Win 3-1

Score was 7-6 1-5* when I decided to back Schiavone to serve out the set at 1.24.

Typically she is broken for 2*-5. Don't mess me about Fran!

American Football: New York Jets @ New England Patriots

2011-01-16T21:39:00.009Z

Well basically I'm lumping on the home team favourite here. No other reason really! It has served me fairly well on American sports so I see no reason to change!

I just hope I can get out at 1.01 before the tennis starts!

Good luck if you're on and Happy Punting!!

Well this isn't going according to plan!

Jets lead 7-3 and have the football in Patriots territory with 1.33 on the clock in the 2nd quarter!

Switch at 2.24 come on Jets!!

Touchdown!! 14-3.

And that is Half time. I think Pats get the ball to start the 3rd. Because of this I'm switching back to Pats at 2.24.

A drive each from Pats and Jets both come to nothing. Pats have the ball now and would like a score please! I need 1.95 to green out and be ready for the tennis in half an hour! Have a heart!

That's rubbish from New England! Have to punt and lucky to get away with the recovery on 2nd down!

I knew the law of averages had to swing some time so stuck with Pats. They duly provided a Touchdown drive and got the 2 extra points to narrow the score to 14-11.

All out at 1.84. Just in time for the tennis!

£1.27 on Jets £1.68 Patriots

New York Jets Win 28-21
Profit: £1.27

American Football: Seattle Seahawks v Chicago Bears

2011-01-16T20:02:00.001Z

Missed the start of this one but lumped on Bears when leading 0-7 in the 1st Quarter @ odds of 1.16. Should be straight forward though the weather looks a bit ropey!

Well Bears lead 0-21 at halftime so that should be that!

Chicago Bears Win 35-24
Profit: £3.05

Football: Tottenham v Man Utd

2011-01-16T16:35:00.005Z

Fergie and Bambi's love child

Well after last nights over 1.5 Goals disaster I have decided to have another go here. I was quite astounded by the odds on goals available! I was thinking of Over 2.5 expecting odds of around 1.80 but it was odds against!. The over 1.5 market was more than juicy enough for a safer bet at 1.36 when I was expecting 1.23/1.24!!

I do think that there will be 4 goals in this today but I will probably be wrong despite over 3.5 @ 3.70 being worth a punt.

Good luck if you're on and a nice 4-0 home win would be good! Preferrably with United bringing the game into disrepute in the process and being docked 10 points for that and another 30 for actively promoting alcoholism over the last 20 years with whisky nose in charge! Disgraceful!!

Well it just goes to show.... I know a lot less than the market!! 0-0 at halftime.

Finishes 0-0

Over 1.5 Goals Loses

Football: Pachuca v Toluca

2011-01-16T01:21:00.005Z

I am reliably informed that Mexican Football is not like grid iron in sombrero's and poncho's but in fact Association football played in Mexico! :-)

I have blindly followed Bruce on the over 1.5 goals market so blame himif it doesn't come in!! LOL

Mind you feel free to praise me if it does! ;-)

Got odds of 1.36 after 15 10 mins or so!

Now that my hard earned is on the line I am beginning to doubt Bruce's knowledge as he informs me that although he has been watching the match he still doesn't know which team is which!!

It's OK panic over! Bruce now knows who is who and also that football was brought to Mexico by miners from that bastion of footballing power .... Cornwall.

So I expect lots of sombrero's, bandits, big moustaches, chillies, tacos, cornish pasties, waves, bullet belts and above all else GOALS!!!

0-0 at half time I think Bowie may get his 1st outing in a long time! He better not be rusty!

OK still 0-0 after 70 we need Bowie!

Dance!! Dance!! Dance!!

Nope even Bowie's magic not working on this festering turd of a match!

Finishes 0-0!! A Bruce induced loss LOL

American Football: Baltimore Ravens @ Pittsburgh Steelers

2011-01-15T22:09:00.017Z

Fancy Steelers here especially with home advantage. I missed the off though so lumped on at 1.42 just as Steelers were awarded a 37 yard penalty for 1st down on Baltimore 25 yard line.

Up to the Baltimore 1 yard line now!

Touchdown! Extra Point added! 0-7.

Steelers suffer at the hands of a 33 yard penalty this time!

Touchdown! 7-7.

FFS Roethliberger being sacked on his own 3 yard line is bad enough! But to fumble it for an easy Ravens Touchdown is unforgivable!!

14-7.

Well Steelers rubbish again not getting a 1st down that drive and Roethlisberger sacked again!
Be thankful for small mercies I guess! Ravens can only get 1 1st down on their own drive and have to punt!

FFS not content with nearly getting inetercepted on first down they decide to fumble it on second down to give Baltimore possession on Steelers 16 yard line! Woeful!

Ravens don't miss opportunities like that too often! Touchdown! 21-7. Need a Touchdown right now from Steelers! 5.43 left in the 2nd now.

FFS Steelers start the drive badly with yet another QB sack! However they get it going and get deep in Ravens territory only to be stopped and have to go for the FG! But they miss it! Not there day? Well it's only half time so certainly not over yet but they will have to really up their game and cut out the errors if they are to have a chance!

Steelers start the 3rd as they had been playing with a poor drive consisting of only 1 first down and another SACK!

Woohoo!! Fumble by Baltimore on own 23 yard line! If the Steelers can't get down the other end they need all the help they can get! And they follow it up with another 1st down!!! !st and goal!!!

TOUCHDOWN!!!! & Extra Point!! 21-14

Ravens do nothing with their possesion so Steelers have another chance!

Not to be! They too have to punt back to Ravens. 3:57 left in the 3rd loads of time left!

INTERCEPTION!!! Come on Steelers!!!

And another 1st down! on Ravens 12 yard line!! TOUCHDOWN!!! great comeback!!

As they say in tennis: MOMENTUM!!! 21-21

Surely now the home field advantage will really impact!

WOW Ravens falling apart! Fumbled on the snap I think! Steelers have it! 1st down on Ravens 23!!

I'm out at 1.30 for £4.63 on both

Steelers leed 24-31 with 1:33 left in the match

Pittsburgh Steelers Win 31-24
Profit: £4.63

Football: Inter Milan v Bologna

2011-01-15T20:28:00.006Z

Inter are looking rejuvinated since Leonardo took over. 1.31 at home looks a great price to me here against Bologna. With Inter's 2 games in hand they could be only 5 points off the leaders should they win them both so hardly a disaster of a season as some have said!

I thought about overs as I expect Inter to win comfortably but will take the safer option of a home win.

Well been having dinner and come back to see Inter are 2-0 up after 37 mins so quite happy with that.

1st half ends 2-0.

3-0!!!! 62 mins gone! That should be that!

4-0 after 71 mins!

4-1 Should have gone for goals!!

Inter Milan Win 4-1

Profit: £12.01

Tennis: David Ferrer v Santiago Giraldo

2011-01-14T01:04:00.010Z

Ferrer not overly convincing in his 1st service game but holds so lumping on hoping he gets the early break at 1.39.

0-15 is a nice start! ... 15-15 ... 30-15 ... 30-30 ... 30-40 Take it!! ... Deuce ... GP ... Holds. Big chance wasted from Ferrer hope it doesn't come back to haunt him!

1*-1 Great hold from Ferrer to love for 2-1* Now apply the pressure please!

Giraldo responds with a love service game of his own! 2*-2

Move aside Karlovic v Isner!! Another love service game 3-2*

Well what odds would you have got on 4 love service games all match here let alone consecutively!! 3*-3

Well I knew it couldn't last forever! Ferrer gone from 30-0 to 30-30! ... 40-30 hold please! ... Deuce looked a bit long to me! I may be biased ;-) ... GP #2 ... Holds for 4-3*

OK can we have a break now please David?

Hello! 15-30 ... 14-40!!!! TAKE IT!!!! ... Well played Giraldo! 30-40 ... This time then? ... Yes!!! Break!!!

5*-3 And I'm out for £8,79 on both.

Ferrer holds from Deuce to take the 1st set 6-3

David Ferrer Wins 6-3 7-5
Profit: £8.79

Tennis: David Nalbandian v Nicolas Almagro

2011-01-13T22:17:00.007Z

I don't usually do tips but I really fancy Fat Bandy here tonight! He was excellent the other night and though I haven't seen all his matches the score line have been impressive so early in the season showing a rich vein of form. On the other hand while I fancied Almagro and backed him against Mannarino he didn't look that convincing despite winning through in the end!

Nalbandian really will blow Almagro off the court if their previous matches are anything to go by. He can be prone to a slow start but he showed no signs of that the other night. also the fact he has only been broken once in 3 matches is very encouraging as opposed to Almagro who has been broken 4 times in 2 matches against opposition no where near the quality of Nalbandian.

I have taken and early price of 1.37 as I feel that the price will shorten considerably, especially if we have people chasing should Real Madrid not beat Athletico!

So I guess if you want to make some nice cash a lay of Nalbandian is the way forward with my predicting abilities of late!!

Well a shaky game a piece to start with but both heldd from deuce. Almagro holds again more comfortably this time to take a 1*-2 lead at the change over. As long as Bandy hold here hopefully he will push on once he's got the two jittery first service games under his belt.

A good hold from Nalbandian to 15 was followed by another shaky hold from Almagro with a couple of deuces. Bandy had 15-30 and thought he was going to do it but plenty of time yet as long as he keeps holding!

Bandy holds well again and gets to deuce on ALmagro's serve. But two aces from Almagro bring the hold and 3*-4. Just keep doing what you're doing David!

Well Almagro had the trainer on to look at his blisters or something so I went to the loo and made a cup of tea. No idea what happenned but Bandy is 5*-4 up on my return Yay!!!!

Hold now Bandy!

Hold he does from 0-30!! Terrible miss hit from Bandy at 30-30 too! Set Nalbandian 6-4.

Out and ~~grenn~~ green (thanks Bruce!) £8.00 Bandy £7.99 Almagro

Should have stuck with my bet! It seems my tip has actually come in!!!
Hope some followed but I wouldn't recommend it normally!

David Nalbandian Wins 6-4 6-2
Profit: £8.00

Football: Almeria v Deportivo La Coruna

2011-01-13T20:00:00.004Z

With 33 mins gone I thought I'd have a punt on under 2.5 goals on odds of 1.38 and look to trade out at half time. It seemed everyone else had the same thought as I had to chase the market down very quickly to 1.33.

As my bet started to get matched ... "SUSPENDED" !!!!

1-0 Almeria! One saving grace is that not all was matched! So on the market opening I have decided to get the rest on at 1.87. No goals till half time should see the odds tumble again. I need 1.55 to get out green. May take till 55 mins ish for that though!

Half time and still 1-0 odds now at 1.70. Bring on the dull football please!

60 mins gone and I've greened out for £4.18 either side at 1.40.

Perhaps I should have hung on! still 1-0 after 88 mins!

Finishes 1-0

Under 2.5 Goals Wins
Profit: £4.18
