Gimeno Traver

The man on the left made ​​me sweat and swear loudly yesterday. He wasn't alone, the other one was Hanescu. I am talking about 1st round match in Casablanca. My money was on wrong player from the start. I thought it was great value backing Hanescu at 1.8. It wasn't !!! Players made this match look like a classic WTA game. Look at stats below. Gimeno-Traver still to win a match this year. Hanescu defeated Gimeno February 15th this year (6-3, 7-6). Yesterday was a nightmare for me. Hanescu lost first set, I am big red. Second set Hanescu is still very poor. I tried to decrease my red, had no idea what to do. Almost going for level red, gambling, testing my luck etc. Intuition says this match can NOT end in 2 sets. There MUST be a third set, are they playing for real or not, if you know what I mean ;) What makes me feel strange is when a favorite looks not interested to win a game ! When a player is not showing any feelings on court while he is making unforced errors like a child on court. Both players ranked about 60 on ATP list. I made a decision to wait for a final 3rd set and just hoping Hanescu takes 2nd set.

Guess what ! I was right ! Happy after Hanescu finally wins second set 6-4. Now trying to hedge for level green on both. Odds jumping like crazy, had to move up my hedging bet a few times. Finally it was done at the start of 3rd set. My total number of matched bets on this market was 32. Now I do NOT want to place any more bets on this crazy match. Maybe 10 mins later we got 4-0 to Hanescu in final set ! 4-0 !!! BIG money matched at 1.01, what happens now ?! From 4-0 to 4-4 LOL What a game it was, money making machine was running but NOT for me. I had bad feelings, odds from 1.01 to +2.0 in no time !

It ended with a profit for me but it could be BIG red. Maybe it was my lucky day or maybe my intuition is not so bad. Anyway, it was more gambling than trading....

Have a look at Gimeno-Traver's stats this year.




This man is traveling around the world just to lose first match and moving on to next tournament. I wonder if he is flying at the moment in economy or business class. I think he "deserved" to fly business LOL

We learn something new every day ......Wish you luck guys !
