How much did you win/lose on the nadal match?

i layed rafa 3-0 and backed darcis 44

only small stakes

only cos it was cold weather, fast courts and found out darcis beat berdych at olympics

thing is rafa has struggled early before against petzchner and haase but they just bottled it

and we'd never get the injury excuses after those wins

actually both of those were in 2010 the year he won it

was 2-1 and 2-0 down

I have 3K on the nose hard up on Nadal..


but laid offf

lost a little.

lost more on the outright strategy

back him at 1.01, layed him at

lost a little bit but could have been much worse as i nearly had another 600 on.

Probably didnt help not having a grass court tournament in the lead up but understandable considering his injury prob

so I didn't see the match , traded off the web, what happened anyway???

just not good enough/ready yet???

wildone you back him at 1.01, layed him at ?

I backed him at the start, or laid the other fella. Think it was between 34 to 46 can't remember.

anyway in the first he looked off the web he was struggling a bit so laid off. early I had win $1 on Nadal lose less than 200 the other fella, then I think in second laid more at 1.11 . I backed Nadal in the third, flying blind but ended up losing less than a hundred in the match odds.

happy enough as my major plays are elsewhere.

Don't worry have been burnt before on Nadal, well and truely learn't my lesson after the French

this makes no sense.

you say you backed nadal for 3k.

so you started with 3k on nadal.

then what? I cant see anything but a megaloss?

*started with 3k on nadal at 1.01 pre-off

*started with 3k on nadal at 1.01 pre-off

Nadal was  not 1.01 pre -post certainly not in the lead up.

I laid a grand at 1.03 during the first set

and I put 40-50approx( don't know the exact amount as was winging it) on Darcis between 30-50/1, I can't remember in the first set meaning before the end of the first set after having a initial loss of more than 3K at the start on Nadal I was losing less than 200


If it makes you feel better I lost 2 grand it seems in the outright on Nadal approx.

after the first set or towards the end of the first Nadal was still 6.00 back 6.2 lay for the outright, . In hindsight I should have laid big time

nice recovery.

do you often back people 1.03 to win £30?

not as often as I used to

depends on the sport and event but even then it depends, you can get some real mad results. most recent Heat come back in the 6th thank you Ray Allen

Some sports you can but the nature of the beast can change as well.

these days I am very selective.

Somebody would have backed darcis 3-0 no doubt and cleaned up.

TBH even the outright market is so tight these I try an avoid but I have to cover for other results so I am forced to play

these days generally I am more a value player than frequency gambler and not sophisticated enough to exploit trading edges

difficult when one 1.03 loss wipes out 33+ winners

yeah but there are 1.03 bets and there are 1.03 bets


the trick is to find the 1.03 beats at value, which are few and far between these days

the other thing is sometimes you take short beats in the scheme of an overall cover strategy to extract arbitrage value, so sometimes there is method in the madness.

but what would I know, i am no expert

some would argue Nadal was value at 1.03 today

why the sad face??

why the sad face??

where?

I laid Nadull 3-0. Nice profit. But my biggest profit was when Fed went down from 11 to 6 in outright

Must have seen a sad face at another post.

Anyway Nadal, 1.03 was value if you felt Nadal was value in the match.

I hope to see the replay to get a gauge of what happened.

Don't know much about Darcis but for someone like Darcis to do that to Nadal in 3 is a worry for Nadal IMO.

TBH, Nadal worried me in the early rounds of the French and , after thinking I am getting a better read on him , I felt all was not well despite the FO victory. To me certain limitations and vulnerabilities became vivid in my mind

robbot to me that makes more sense because although you can sense Nadal may be undervalue so Fed overvalue you do not know if Darcis will be the instigator or someone else.

I have a good position on Fed to thankfully

TBH if Rosol was playing Nadal I would have laid Nadal 3-0 and even backed Rosol 3-0 for victory, actuaaly it was a 5 setter last year so I probably wouldn't

Darcis favourite against Kubot

I won betting 1.70 on Darcis after 2 sets and a break.

In your opinion, what was the odd for backing Darcis 3-0 ?

NO ONE EVER LOSES ON THE BETFAIR FORUM

"I backed Nadal before and during the match and still didn't lose. Amazing"

had 4k or so on Nadal after he lost the 1st set... was gonna trade out when he served for the 2nd set but decided against it... was in deep crap at 2 sets down but Nadal was layable at 1.5 which was extremely cheap given the situation so I switch over and ended up having 1.5k on Darcis and 2.5k red on Nadal

say no more ^

my point proven

i lost 35 on nadal, traded a we bit back 3rd set wen his odds wer up and down

I backed Nadal at 1.05 and then traded out at evens to win £500

had 4k or so on Nadal after he lost the 1st set... was gonna trade out when he served for the 2nd set but decided against it... was in deep crap at 2 sets down but Nadal was layable at 1.5 which was extremely cheap given the situation so I switch over and ended up having 1.5k on Darcis and 2.5k red on Nadal

is that even mathematically possible?

back low, lay high
