First Round Fallout of Olympic Tennis – Andy Murray
August 12, 2008 by admin
Filed under Tennis News
The tennis action at the 2008 Olympics is as unpredictable as it can get. Among the first round tennis players to get the axe on Monday was sixth seed tennis player Andy Murray of Britain and the fifth ranked player David Ferrer. Ferrer lost his match to Janko Tipsarevic of Serbia 7-6, 6-2 and Murray lost his match to Lu Yen-Hsun of Taiwan 7-6, 6-4.
The 21 year old Scot Andy Murray won’t be adding to the Brit’s tally of 2 gold medals and 1 bronze which they have captured so far in the swimming and cycling categories. When Murray arrived in Beijing from London many commented the tennis pro looked tired, worn out and drained. The conditions for the upcoming match with Lu were almost ideal with some cloud cover but a mild temperature for good tennis play.
With Murray a recent Master Series title winner and Lu ranked far below, the match seemed all but won for Murray before it began. As the match progressed Murray was leading the set 5-2 but he was unable to hold down the determined Lu who came back to tie it up at 6-6. No one would have expected to see the sixth seed player being so challenged by a player ranked 77th in the world.
Betfair Tennis Trading On Pennetta vs Savchuk Match

Yesterday I was trading the match between Pennetta and Savchuk at the Rogers Cup tennis tournament. It was a beautiful game and eventually the favourite Pennetta won the match 1-6, 7-5, 6-2.
But as a trader I wasn’t so much interested in supporting Pennetta or Savchuk – (although I have to admit they’re both really good looking girls:-) as in the odds movement during the first set of the match.

Watch Tennis Live When Trading On Betfair Or Not?

Using the Tennis Trading League System’s scalping methods it’s crucial to watch the match on TV as you just have to see the point is being scored. You’re even ahead of the bots scanning the market and applying algorithms depending on how the price moves.
But even if you don’t use these scalping methods and trade long term – it’s always useful to see the match live and get into the “feel” of the game.
By seeing the actual players in action – even if you’re not too much into tennis – will give you the edge over those who approach the tennis trading as a numbers game.

This morning I was “leisure trading” on French Open Women’s singles – didn’t use big stakes but just played around. The price moved exactly as I’ve described in Race Your Profits System – favourite’s odds drifted out way too high and I easily used this in my favour!
New Betfair Tennis Trading System – Race Your Profits!

Since 1st May I’ve been testing and working on a new Betfair tennis trading strategy – and finally I’m proud to announce it’s tested, packed and sealed!
I achieved very good results and one thing is for sure – the favourite players’ price is drifting out by far further than it actually should. That’s the main reason why it’s possible to make pure profit in around 75% of selections and implement the exit strategy in the rest of the matches.

Today I’m a bit tired so I decided to leave the in-play trading for a while and just sit back and watch the game. But then a thought crossed my mind and I decided to see if there’s something to it.
In-play Trading vs Too Big Expectations

Some folks think – if I can’t get enough from a single trade, it isn’t worth going for.
Of course – it would be so nice to earn ₤100 – ₤200 by placing just two bets but my experience tells me in a long term you can’t expect big returns with this.
At the beginning of my Betfair career I was trying different betting and trading strategies and was particularly impressed by the idea of spotting good value bets and backing them early in the morning. Then, as the race approached, I would lay them off with profit.
WTA Qatar open 24th February final between Sharapova and Zvonareva

In the first set Sharapova was a confident favourite and her odds were so small that no real trading opportunities emerged. As I’m saying in the Tennis Trading League System – don’t trade on a favourite if her odds are so small that they just don’t change.
Well, in the second set Zvonareva took revenge and here I made some profit – not bad, by the way!
