This was a tennis match in Beijing Open Quarterfinals between Andy Roddick and Juan Carlos Ferrero. Andy Roddick was the favourite player with current ATP rank of 8. Ferrero, on the contrary, is ranked 48 and was this match’s underdog.
However, as it sometimes happens in tennis, clear favourites don’t always win the first set of the match. And clever Betfair tennis traders like me (LOL!) can exploit the ensuing price movements to their benefit!
Betfair Tennis Trading – Petrova vs Schnyder 13.09.2008

Trading on the Commonwealth Bank Tennis Classic tournament in Bali, Indonesia, I was experimenting a little bit on some matches. You know – to refine tennis trading strategies and come up with new ideas you have to constantly look for something new.
Had I stuck with what I new half year ago, I’d never be as successful Betfair tennis trader as I am now! Back then I was mostly scalping the matches, but that approach requires strong nerves and a whole lot of a dedication.
Besides – some matches are impossible to scalp due to the time lag on Eurosport. So during the non-qualifying matches I was trying to spot other trends which would lead me to revealing new ways to profit from Betfair tennis trading.
In this example I backed the favourite Schnyder at the odds of 1.83 as she broke in the ninth game of the match. I could have layed her off right after that – as her odds shortened to 1.6. But I decided to see how she performs in the next game.
Betfair Tennis Trading – Gasquet vs Moya 13.09.2008

Sometimes tennis players can fight for a game point for quite a long time – like in this match between Richard Gasquet and Carlos Moya in Romania Open 13 September 2008.
It was the end of the third game when Moya took the advantage and he was potentially to score a break point.
As we know, break points are very decisive moments in Betfair tennis trading, so I layed the favourite Gasquet at the odds of 1.72 using a hundred euro stake and kept on following the match.
The fight between the players went on for quite a long time as they each kept on scoring points and still no game point was scored.
Federer Goes Into History – The Fifth Straight US Open Title!

Yesterday’s game was just amazing. The 27-year-old Swiss lad proved that everyone was badly mistaken when predicting his career’s downfall!
I was watching the match and made some profits when Murray broke in the second set, but most of the times I was just fascinated by Roger’s performance. Murray was the closest British man trying to win a Grand Slam since 1936, but the Swiss just annihilated his hopes. Despite Murray’s brilliant defensive play Federer was just unstoppable.
As he said later on: “I played great, you know. I felt like I was invincible for a while again, and that’s exactly how you want to finish a tournament.”
