How Easy It Is To Trade Tennis On Betfair?

Hello my Fellow Traders!

The odds in tennis matches can be fairly predictable insuring nice profit if you’ve got the right attitude and just basic understanding of what’s happening on the court.

Here you can see the match between Mathieu and Karanusic in Zagreb Indoors on the 4the of February. Mathieu is the match’s favourite and at the moment he’s serving and the underdog is the receiving player.

The common sense dictates that it’s easier to score if you’re serving and you don’t have to know tennis inside out to understand that at the moment of serving the advantage is on your side.

So let’s see how the odds behave following the players’ scoring on the court. Mathieu scores a point, and I back him immediately getting the bet matched at the odds of 1.45 using a hundred euro stake.

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.”

First Round Fallout of Olympic Tennis – Andy Murray

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.
