I have been backing horses in running for small money then laying off at shorter prices
hard when your 5 seconds behind, obviously doing it early end of races, that winner at Yarmouth was going so well after 2 furlongs I pressed to back it at 130 & thought I must be mad so left it I would probably have got rid at 100 but saw it was traded up to 800 so I may well have got much higher than 130. gutted when it won  |
|
By:
I lost my munneez on Lucie Safarova at 1.4
could have traded at 1.3 when she came from 5-0 down to level it in the first set, but I left it, and it went 6-6 and then she lost the tie break, and the next set  |

I got lucky very early this morning.
 It put on a 5-fold acca (all odds on) on womens tennis in the far east last night, as they played at 6-00 a.m. our time. I checked the results when I got up, Pervak had retired through injury. But when I checked my balance I had been paid a 4-fold. Apparently, Betfair Tennis Rules are that if the player retires BEFORE the first set is complete, all bets on the match are made void  |

Chinese 2011 Open - 3rd round match - Maria Kirilenko V Tamira Paszek Kirilenko is rated higher in the rankings at 24 to Paszeks position of 54. But they have met 3 times, 2 of them in 2008, and Paszeks is leading with 3 wins to nil with the 3rd win in the Mercury Open 2011 as a walkover. Kirilenko is 1.39 to back, which is far too short imo Paszek is 3.4 to back. I'd like to trade on this match but no time has been fixed yet, and they start their days play at 5-30 a.m. our time, fack getting up that early if it's the first match of the day Paszek was only 18 years old when she beat Kirilenko twice in 2008, and despite slipping down the rankings she must be stronger now than she was 3 years ago. Back her at 3.4 and put a lay in at about 1.9 - if she wins the first set she will surely go odds on. If she loses the first set it's time for her to do battle. |

By:
Match on (according to Betfair) at 7-30 a.m. tomorrow.

By:
^^^^^ Never in the match beaten 6-1 6-2
Ante-post bet on Victoria Azarenka no good either, I had 8.4 and she was 4.7 yesterday. She withdrew last night |

Wozniacki doing her best to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory [smiley:crazy][smiley:crazy]
Kanepi down to 4/1 again |

I hope Fallon has no more winners tonight.
I was gonig to have his mounts in a multiple bet, but thought the first race was 5-30. Just come upstairs to put it on and he has won the 5-20 on a 5/1 shot. |

Chinese Womens Open 2011 With a head to head score of 6 wins to none in favour of Caroline Wozniacki (no. 1 seed) her opponent, Flavia Pennetta (unseeded) should be layed at around 7/2, or lump on Wozzer at 1.28 ============================================================================== Speculative bets for the quarter finals in the bottom half of the draw. Andrea Petkovic (9 seed) versus Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova (13 seed) Petkovic is 8.2 to win the final and Pavlyuchenkova is 17 to win the final But the other match in this half of the draw sees 2 unseeded players against each other for a place in the semi-finals. If form works out, one of the 2 seeds will beat one of the 2 unseeded players in the semi final, and you should be able to trade for the final. |
