You see – when the liquidity in the market is good and the money amounts are well distributed among the odds I usually use the ‘Current Close’ button for greening out. However, in the situations like I’m having right now it’s impossible to green out using the ‘Current Close’ button as there’s very little money available at the former match’s favourite Tsonga.

His odds were 1.7 before the match and when he lost the first set I backed him at 3.55 using a hundred euro stake. Both players are playing very evenly in the second set scoring the game points in turn and when Tsonga scores a few points taking Haas’s serves I decide to close the trade using the ‘Current Close’ button and go for 36 euro profit.

But the next moment the odds shoot up due to the lack of money in the market and even though Tsonga is still leading the game the gap between the back and the lay sides is huge. Not the best Betfair tennis market to trade in, right?

Well, just have a look how easily you can set the odds and place a bet next to the matching point and close the trade still making a decent profit.

I’m setting the odds to 2.78 and by hitting the ‘Manual Close’ button the stake becomes available for the backers to take. In a few moments time I’m greening out and making more than 27 euro profit!

Talk to you soon,

Best wishes,

It’s the WTA tournament in Parris, and the match is being played between Bartoli and Parmentier. Bartoli is this match’s favourite and during the first set I just monitored the score occasionally without taking any action.

As it sometimes happens, the favourite player loses the first set and this is where one of my tennis trading strategies – Race Your Profits – kicks in!

It’s nothing too complicated – you just have to place a back bet on the player when the set is over. In this case I’m placing the bet at the odds of 2.28 using a hundred euro stake; and the bet gets easily matched.

Parmentier starts serving the first game of the second set but eventually he gets broken by Bartoli who’s gathered up and leads the game despite taking the serves. His price drops down to 1.74 and I could actually lay him right now making slightly more than 30 euro.

But I decide to follow the match into the next game as Bartoli seems to be quite confident and serving is much easier than taking the serves.

Both players are scoring an even number of points until the very end of the game when the favourite Bartoli gains the advantage and then finally wins the game point as well.

This enables me to close the trade with more than 35 euro profit – yet another proof of profitability of the Betfair tennis trading!

The favourite of this match is the French player Tsonga and at the beginning of the match his odds were around 1.55.

I didn’t do anything during the first set of the match but now comes a very interesting moment. The favourite player Tsonga loses the first set and his odds drift out to 2.52.

Now tell me – even if you don’t know anything about trading tennis on Betfair – isn’t odds 2.52 a bit too high for a favourite player who’s lost only the first set by 6 : 4 ?

Yes, the player is a underpriced at the moment and that’s why I’m backing him at the odds of 2.52 using a hundred euro stake.

And now comes the next set and also the time for more action and profiteering!

Tsonga scores the first game point in the second set and it’s very promising as his odds shorten to 2.2. However, the most volatile prices can be observed when one of the players is facing a break point – and that’s exactly what I want to see in the next game of this set.

So I backed the favourite after the first set at the odds of 2.52 and now I’m following the second game in the second set to see how the events unfold on the court.

The game is being played very evenly by each player scoring points in turn until the favourite is with the advantage and his odds have dropped to 1.9 enabling more than 32 euro profit.

This is exactly what I’m doing and I’m placing a lay bet on Tsonga by clicking on the ‘Current Close’ button on BetAngel Pro screen. In a few moments the profit is split between both players evenly and no matter what happens I’ll get my 32 euro when the match ends!

But now – the best part of this video. Just have a look at what happens with the favourite’s price in a few moments – when he scores the break point. Yes, it was the very moment I was looking forward to; however, I decided to leave the trade when Tsonga had the advantage as I had already reached the necessary profit threshold.

So have a look now – the price drops down to 1.6!

Do you think I’m very regretful about not keeping the trade open for a few more moments? Well, I can only say one thing – this is what separates a gambler from a trader!

It’s essential to judge the events on the court by listening to your inner voice and while I could have made by far bigger profit by waiting a few more moments, I still made 32% profit from the stake, which is not bad at all.

And most importantly – never allow yourself to slip into a habit of counting the money you didn’t make. You’re risking of starting keeping the trades open for too long which is the very opposite of why you’re trading tennis on Betfair – executing profitable trades!

Hi Betfair traders,

Here you can watch Betfair tennis trading videos performed by me using BetAngel Basic and BetAngel Pro versions.

I don’t post the videos here regularly as it takes time and effort to create them and I’d rather spend my time focusing on executing profitable trades instead.

However, every now and then I’ll post new Betfair tennis trading videos here and you’re more than welcome to watch them, leave comments and ask me any questions you want!

Hello my Betfair trading fanatics!

In this Betfair tennis trading video you’ll see a typical example of Race Your Profits System in action.

So when the favourite loses the first set, we back her and I’m using a hundred euro stake. 2.12 are the odds I’m getting, and now I can follow the second set watching out for any events that would force me to either accept loss or close the trade with a profit.

When the favourite Vaidisova wins her serves the odds are already down to 1.98. But then the next game begins with her taking the serves. After she breaks in the second game of the second set, I’m laying her and the bet gets matched at 1.61.

31 euro profit has been made on her break point – can you see the potential of break points in tennis trading now?

But this is not all!

You don’t have to limit yourself by taking advantage of only one break point. If the right criteria are met when another break point occurs – why not use it to your advantage? In the third set Kerber breaks as well and starts leading the match. But the next game is played very well by the former underdog so I decide to lay Kerber.

And as you can see now I’m laying the underdog Kerber because there’s quite a big chance Vaidisova is going to strive to even the score.

The first points of the game are scored by Kerber but the odds critical level hasn’t been reached, so I can allow another point to be scored by her before exiting the trade. But then Vaidisova starts scoring and as she breaks to 40 I’m closing the trade with 25 euro profit. The overall match profit – 58 euro!

Well – I guess I can reward myself with a pint or two in the evening, what you think?

Hello Folks!

In this video you’ll see a very healthy 67% profit made from a hundred euro stake when trading on a match between Phau and Fish in the ATP Houston tournament.

I’m going to use one of my favourite tennis trading strategies which is very simple yet also very effective. Basically all you need to know is – when to back and when to lay the favourite. Well, but then all the trades are quite simple in the essence, aren’t they?

So here you can see I’m backing the favourite player Fish at 2.51 after the first set. If you’re wandering why I’m opening the trade right now – visit Tennis Trading League right NOW! Read the first strategy explained there and you’ll understand why I’m backing the favourite when he’s one set down.

The next bet I’m placing is, of course, the lay bet. The ideal moment for closing the trade is when the favourite breaks in a game. When it happens at the end of the second set I can lay him at the odds of 1.5 making a whopping 67 euro profit!

Thanks and talk to you soon,

Now I’m going to show you how I made nice 44 euro profit on a tennis match where many would probably lose as much. To be honest – I also was on the verge of trading out and taking a loss. However, Williams had to score just one point and the whole situation changed upside down and I could start reflecting on how to maximize the profits instead of minimizing the losses!

So here you can see that I’ve backed the favourite player Williams at the odds of 1.66 using a hundred euro stake. As you can see her price is shortening and I could make around 15 euro profit had I closed the trade at the current odds. But there’s an essential part of every trading strategy – and it’s the minimum necessary profit per trade. In other words – unless the odds have reached the critical level – don’t get out of the trade!

Of course, no two tennis matches are the same and you always have to add that human factor to the trading process. But generally speaking – you just can’t afford closing the trades as soon as the odds are moving to your favour and taking big losses at the same time as you wait until the last moment if the price is going to opposite way.

The second match ends with a tiebreak and it’s a very special moment presenting many opportunities for traders. The price fluctuations are very large – especially if a player can win the whole match by winning the tiebreak.

In this tiebreak such a player is Na Li – if she wins the tiebreak, the match point is hers. Therefore I have to watch the game very closely in case if the underdog pushes Williams’s odds too high and the potential loss figure that’s showing in red gets too big.

But Williams manages to win this set point and the odds slip out of the critical zone. However, even by scoring the set point she doesn’t secure the minimum profit needed in this match. So I’m waiting a bit into the third set to see how the players perform. If Williams manages to break, it will most likely insure the profit margin I’ve calculated for this match.

And indeed – as Williams breaks in the third game of the third set, her odds shorten to 1.15 and I can close the trade with 44 euro profit!

In this short video I’ll show you a couple of trades executed on the match between Clement and Safin in Open 13 and you’ll clearly see the importance of the receiving player’s scored points in a tennis match and the effect it has on the odds.

Safin is the match’s favourite player and at the moment the score in the first set is 3:1 with Clement leading the game. Safin’s odds have increased and the current odds favour Clement. Just have a look right under the score table where it says that Clement broke in the fourth game. It’s an indicator that Clement is in a very good condition at the moment and as we can see after the yellow square appearing next to Clement’s name, he’s serving right now.

So what should this tell you? Well, since he broke in the last game and has already scored two points in this game, there’s a very good change he’ll score at least one more point in this game. So you’d probably say I should execute the trade by backing Clement and then laying him off, right?

Well, then listed to this – points scored by Safin bear much bigger importance at the moment since he’s the receiving player!

As Safin scores a point I’m laying Clement at 1.78 and the bet gets matched. As he scores the next point I’m backing Clement at 1.94 and 16 euro profit appears at Clement!

I executed the trade using the money circulating at Clement because he’s got bigger liquidity at the moment and he’s still the match’s favourite judging by the odds.

However, the situation in the market changes very soon and the Safin’s odds shorten and Clement’s drift out as Safin breaks in this game.

He wins the next game as well, and there’s no doubt he’s regained the leading position as a favourite. I’m backing him at 1.7 in the 7th game of the match and he just has to score two points to enable me close the trade at 1.58. 12 euro profit has just been made on the receiving player again!

All the best,

Paddy

In this trading video you’ll see what potential break points pose when you’re trading tennis on Betfair. This is absolutely amazing – to make 43% from the stake in a single trade, don’t you think so?

Well, then listen to the reasoning behind my Betfair trading process and I bet you’ll come to understand the main principles and you can even try this approach yourself straight away after watching this video.

This is a match between Starace and Robredo in Copa Telmex tournament and I got to start following the match only in the middle of the first set. The favourite player Robredo lost the first set; however, despite that, he’s performing quite well right now.

You know – it’s not uncommon for a good player to lose the first set of the match and emerge the winner at the end; the first set doesn’t necessarily decide the result of the match.

Having quickly analyzed the scoring in the first seven games of the second set I came to a conclusion that Robredo performs better than the underdog and he can potentially break in the next game. He was very confident when serving and he also scored a few points when taking Starace’s serves. And, given the potential of break points in tennis trading, I decided to go ahead with opening the trade.

So the deciding factor for backing the favourite player in this case is his confident performance in the previous game and also in the game prior to the last one when he was the receiving player.

I’m placing the back bet at the odds of 1.78 before the next game has started and now I have to follow the match and watch the odds closely being ready to close the trade at any time should the market go against me.

The players score an even number of points each, until the favourite Robredo is just a point away from breaking in this game. And then he breaks and the break point makes the price shorten down to a measly 1.35!

The bet remains unmatched for a while, bet eventually the heavily backed favourite’s odds shorten and I’m making a huge 43 euro profit.

I guess I don’t need to make any additional comments. Break points are the way to go when you trade tennis on Betfair!

Talk to you soon again,

Now I’m going to show you another live trading example with one of my tennis trading systems – Race Your Profits – in action. And you’ll be able to see how I manage to execute a profitable trade in a second attempt after an unmatched bet has been cancelled.

You see – not always the trades are as easy as a piece of cake; sometimes the market goes against you, sometimes the bets simply get unmatched.

But regardless of these hampering factors, you have to master the right Betfair trader’s mindset and once you’ve acquired the peace of mind while trading – there’s nothing that could stop you on the way to making regular Betfair trading income!

So let’s see this trade and I’ll explain you all the bits and pieces!

The first bet of the trade is placed on the favourite player Simon at the odds of 1.97. Well, judging after the current odds, he isn’t a distinct favourite of the match. However, at the beginning of the match he was trading at around 1.2 which matches Race Your Profits System’s match selection criteria.

Now, when the first bet has been placed, I have to be very vigilant and close the trade at the right moment either minimizing the losses or maximizing the profit. This is your ultimate goal as a Betfair trader, and I can’t stress it enough – don’t fantasize about making a week’s income in a single trade. Be realistic and approach the Betfair tennis trading process as a business rather than some get-rich-quick thing!

Now comes the crucial moment in the match when Simon’s odds have dropped to a level insuring the minimum profit and I’m clicking the lay button at 1.61. Ideally I should have been waiting until the favourite scores a break point as it would insure a really profitable odds drop.

However, the things don’t always happen accordingly to the plan. Sometimes, depending on the situation, you have to accept minor deviations from the major strategy. Right now I’m also doing so by canceling the unmatched bet and keeping on watching the players’ score.

Dimitrov scores three points in a row thus pushing the favourite’s odds up, and now the underdog is just a point away from the game point.

However, accordingly to the Race Your Profits System, I can wait until the odds drift out even above the initial back odds, so there’s no reason at all to stress out at the moment. I simply keep on watching the market and the odds fluctuations.

The favourite player Simon manages to score the next two points and his odds once again drop down to the minimum profit level. I don’t even wait on him to break in this game – the previous scoring has been quite erratic and I don’t want to take unnecessary risks.

I’m placing the lay bet on Simon at the odds of 1.6 and it gets matched at 1.59. Nice 38 euro profit has been made – and if you want to achieve similar Betfair tennis trading results – just come to my website and subscribe to the 7 day Free Betfair trading video course!

Wishing you all the best,
