Trading Wincanton today(Sunday) was a nightmare for me. I really should stay away from this track ;) You can see what I mean when you check my PnL image. Still managed to get profit overall but such losses are not easy to forget.

Sunday means tennis finals and I traded all of them. As I said in my previous post about Kei Nishikori. Starting price 1.35 wasn't great value. Too bad, I placed my bets at wrong time and on wrong player. Struggling through the match I could finally make a profit. It makes me feel good when after a few wrong decisions I managed to recover and turn my red into green ;)

Below are pictures of winners this week...

Pablo Andujar

Caroline Wozniacki

Ryan Sweeting

Victoria Azarenka

And now my result with some BIG reds from Wincanton :(

Kei Nishikori

I have been very busy last few days doing my full time job, trading, learning, testing and enjoying my new toy. What do I mean with new toy ? No, it's not a new version of The Geek's trading software ! It is my new smartphone which I am going to use for trading. What I am trying to do is remote control of my home PC. PC will be running a bot for placing bets on horse markets when I'm away from home. I will use my phone to setup my bot and control what's going on through the day. So far I did only some tests but it looks promising.

What about trading this week ? All I could say is: fantastic ! Tennis still very high strike rate. In fact, I started to use an Excel spreadsheet to keep all my records and it shows my SR for tennis markets is at the moment 93%. I have to be happy with it.....what is not very good is my average loss compared to average profit on markets. It's something I have to work on.....

I made nice profit trading Nishikori(on the image)-Cuevas yesterday. As you can see on my image I used some of my green and placed a bet on Cuevas during the 2nd set. In fact Pablo Cuevas had a very good chance and got 2 break points when Nishikori was serving at 6-5 to win a match. Unfortunately Nishikori saved BP's and won match 6-3, 7-5....

Now it's time to play final against Ryan Sweeting. Japanese player is a favorite to win this match and I believe he will do but odds at 1.35 are not a great value for me at the moment...I will wait and see what happens from the start....Nishikori played amazing this week, Sweeting on the other side is NOT one of my favorite players...he was involved in some "strange" games with strange results in the past...Last night he won against Karlovic but to be honest Karlo was very poor or maybe had some issues after playing for more than 3 hours against Isner the day before.


If you want to start trading tennis it's right time to start now....Monte-Carlo ATP Masters started today with almost all the best players...Djokovic and Soderling are missing. Live coverage for this tournament is as always very good ..........

Good luck !

It was 4th of July Janko married girlfriend Biljana Sesevic in Belgrade, later this month it was Stepanek and Vaidisova.


Janko Tipsarevic is a really funny guy and great tennis player when he is playing his best tennis. Last night he played Somdev Devvarman and as almost always with Tipsy on court you had many great trading opportunities. It could be easy if you lucky enough to start with right bet. I was confident from the start laying Janko and was looking at very nice "green numbers", I should hedge and be happy but NO...a few minutes later everything changes, more bets from me...backing, laying, backing, lay-back and so on...LOL

It's why I love tennis, you DO NOT have to be on the right side from the start or after 1st set....the game is not over before it's GSM, you know what I am trying to say...Final score and stats from this match on the image above.


Yes, Janko had it totally under control :)

After Tipsy it was Marcos Baghdatis-Ryan Sweeting....and I must say I was really sweating watching this match. Marcos was playing awful tennis in 1st set and...to be honest I wasn't impressed at all with the quality of this match. Anyway it's not about it, it's about trying to make some money and 3 set match with total 8 breaks of serve gives you some opportunities to trade out of bad possitions. I was done after set nr 2 and it was end of my trading yesterday.

Now I found Marcos and Janko will play in next round...what a game if both are in good mood ;)

Let's hope no more raining in Europe and we can see some more live tennis today, starting with Larsson-Cirstea

Keep it green and remember...no panic ! It's not over before GSM :)
