Tennis
Should be a very interesting match to see, i think Janko has a chance to outplay him unless it becomes a marathon then you have to fancy Davide...
Tipso will try and hit through him for sure, he aint no mug like Gasquet who had all the chances in the world to make at least somewhat of a match out of it but couldnt take any chances

I thought it was a mistake when I saw that earlier. It seems strange scheduling.

man just came back from the pub and scalped 1 point and got 25% return, i wish i was there to trade it properly, laying ferrer and backing him at higher odds would have been very nice, since the quarter finals have started the trading markets have been epic!! murray and roger last nite, sharapova and bartoli, all of robsons games, all of kerbers games, this us open has been amazing!!
That's why I love these volatile markets. Once made, lost, made, lost and made about £50 in a third set tiebreak. Not for the faint hearted.
first time since what? 2009?

Well i've had an absolute howler here all due to greed, but i took my medicine and i'm still here, and finally i think i'm learning from the mistakes ive made before.
Howler. Greed. That was the trap I nearly fell into. Only luck pulled me out.

Sometimes I manage to take small losses, sometimes I don't. I took one small loss before the tiebreak here, but then refused to take another during the tiebreak and got away with the second. Long term, it's a bad strategy probably.
never make trades in tiebreaks unless you have plenty green to play with,

frustratingly i was on ferrer so would have won, but its not that what bothers me, im just pleased with myself that i know i did the right thing.
That's a good policy. Sometimes I follow it and feel a bit gutted so normally next time I try ride out a couple more points - it either gets worse or you pull yourself back to a reasonable position.

my strategy is that once you've made enough green, just use the cash out feature on betfair at the best time and get an equal distribution whoever wins the game. is that a bad strategy?
Probably not. But I wouldn't use the cashout feature but make the manual calculation yourself. Far safer.

On the whole yes, although its hard everyone here should be averse to risk...
In my eyes a risk free £50 is better than a risky £200.

Last night I decided to lay Federer at 1.1 for £80. I then put a back bet on for 1.5 giving me £20 profit whoever won and turned the laptop off, hoping it would get matched. I watched the first set in bed and saw that Fed lost the tie-break. Thought I'd most likely be matched and went to sleep. Woke up this morning and see the final score and realise my back bet had cost me £60!!

the game is often fast and furious, so i like the cashout feature for its quickness.

what ever you did was down to human error because i got matched at well over 7's on fed. throughout the match

I think I explained badly. If I hadn't been so risk averse, I would have won £80. But I was risk averse and had that back bet waiting to get matched. It got matched and ate a £60 hole in my profit if Berdych won. I won £20 on the match, but it could have been £80..
