Do you think it's about me coming back from the dead ?
Well...not really LOL Will explain it later in this post....

It was long time since my last post on this blog. I never said bye forever to my followers, leaving me possibility to come back and post when I feel for it and this time just happens to be today. So, here I am.....

No posting doesn't mean I am out of business. My life changed a lot during last year. As you may know from one of my posts last year I was in China for exactly 1 year ago, missed trading on Australian Open 2012. When back to Sweden I changed my life, since Feb 2012 I am my own boss and it has nothing to do with trading. I am really happy and am doing what I love to do.
Trading is still something I really enjoy and this year started as so many years before with trading NFL and tennis. NFL was my chance to build up my Betfair bank before Australian Open.

Now you may ask, what made me to post today ? It must be last night's crazy tennis session with Del Potro lost to Chardy and finally Simon-Monfils match this morning.

I made some wrong decisions while trading Del Potro and was mad at myself. Chardy won 1st and 2nd set, my only chance was hoping for Del Potro come back. After a lot of scalping and with some luck I could finally hedge for an OK profit. Was happy with my total P&L after trading all night. I was tired and thought about going to bed but still a few matches to play with Simon-Monfils I didn't wanted to miss.

What a match it was !!! One of the most crazy tennis matches I traded in my life. Some very long rallies, I remember one of them was 71 shots...can you imagine ? Simon 2 sets up and something happened.....after the match Gilles Simon said,

"I was almost dying after the end of the second set" - now see the title of my post, you understand ? :)

Both players called for trainee, taking medical timeouts, treatment all the time between points etc..
At the end of the match trainee was almost as busy as both players lol

I was about 175 GBP green on both players after second set. Now with Simon struggling, serving at half pace odds starts moving like crazy against Simon. What to do now ? I was already all green and quite happy...well....you may call it greed but I found it was a great value and followed the money on the market, going against Simon. 5 min later I changed my all green from 175 to 1350...LOL

Monfils won 2 following sets and we got a 5th set...Somebody said, wait unexpected with Monfils on court and what happened was really unexpected from both players in the final set. Finally Simon won the match after almost 5 hours on court. Now Andy Murray must be happy to know he is going to play against a totally exhausted player.

Final screenshot from this crazy match ...


My final profit on the market changed after a few trades. I increased my Australian wallet funds with about 150% last night....!!! I was so excited and it is definitely a night to remember and deserved  a new post on my blog even if there are no more readers of my blog :)


There is something strange, on my screenshot of the Toy you see I am 1529.22 on both players...so, why P&L is showing "only"  1529.20 ??? Where is 0.02 ? I have no idea how Betfair make it, well I dont really care about missing 0.02 but could anyone explain it to me ? :)

Finally, I really want you to have a look on the last image showing scoring for this match....It is really something to remember while trading tennis. Anything can happen it's what I always keep saying to myself during tennis match.

Wish you good luck and take care all my friends.......Until next post :)

It's about trading Indian Wells qualies late night, ATP and WTA. I call it trading for fun for a few reasons.

1. Using really small stakes, in and out really fast trading with odds moving like crazy and very big gaps watching ladder...
2. I have never heard about some of the players I was trading, Monica Puig...18 years old from Puerto Rico ? :)
3. No stream available, slow scoreboard ...a dream for courtsiders watching games live and taking candy from kids (money from traders) LOL

Why am I doing this ? Very good question, I guess I was bored, not very professional but who cares ?! I am NOT a pro trader ! :)
Anyway, I found those markets very easy to predict...traded 3 markets at the same time and made an OK result...
Just want to let you know about some great opportunities trading tennis like this. I missed Andreev-Smyczek match, 1-6, 6-1 and now playing 3rd set.

It's now time to get some sleep...no more trading here...maybe tomorrow but real serious tennis trading starts next week with live pics available. I made some great results last year during March and April...I believe it was my best period trading tennis. I really love Indian Wells and Miami....

Wish you good luck !!!

Hi friends,

As you see I am back to business :) Still have my full time job and no plans to start trading full time.

Had a few great weeks in China during Chinese New Year. Got a lot of new friends. Could not follow and trade Australian Open but who cares. Some days there was live tennis from Australia on CCTV5 but no time to get involved ;)

Anyway, I started to do some trading when back home to Sweden. Not sure what to expect and where to go.
It takes some time to regain confidence after a long absence. I am still trying to be very careful.

To be honest I must say most of my trading is done on Betfair markets.
Please just have a look at my screenshot showing todays match, Niculescu-Stosur. There is no question where the money is, right ? You see matched amounts of money on both markets, £ 1 220 000 on Betfair and € 52 400 on Betdaq. There are still plenty of great opportunities on Betdaq but you should be very careful if using big stakes on Betdaq. It is what I think and why I am monitoring both markets....

Just to give you an idea about my last days trading, here is a screenshot showing my trades....

The Future is bright, the Future is Purple !

Words above are taken from The Geek's signature, now you understand why he changed his sign some time ago....and as you see on my image the look of The Geeks Toy forum is changed now....

Decided to make another post before I go to enjoy my time in China starting next week .....Just want to let you know (just in case you missed it) about a new version of the greatest trading application, probably the best in the world :)

I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did. I am talking about BETDAQ version of A Geeks Toy. It's now official and available for all traders around the world :) It's FREE.....All you need is join The Geeks forum, register and download software.

Thanks TG, well done as always....!!!

No, it's not a movie title :)

It's a new year and I just to wish a Very Happy New Year to all readers and followers of my blog. Yeah, I know there is not much to follow on this blog these days. I have not been updating my blog for a long time but you should still know I am very much alive :)


When I started my blog it was about enjoying Betfair and The Toy...now I am enjoying BetdaQ. Still doing some trading on Betfair markets. Anyway, more about it in my next post which may wait until next month.
First month of this year will NOT be as usual for me. I am going to enjoy and celebrate new year one more time...wtf ? hehe....I mean I am going to China next week and stay there for a few weeks which means I will be there during chinese new year :)

I am going to miss Australian Open, really. I am happy anyway....2011 was my best trading year so I feel I deserved to have some great time without need to think about trading.

To all of you I wish very nice profits and have a great time watching/trading tennis (other sports too). Keep thinking it's NOT about money...it's about enjoying sports you love to watch LOL
