Wimbledon

Djokovic -7.5 games v Mayer @ 8/11

Stake €51.19


Boring, but I think i don't do enough of this kind of bet tbf.
I'm not too familiar with Mayer if I'm honest but a player of Nole's caliber should be able to manage a double break somewhere in this match. He looks pretty invincible right now.

Women's semifinals I don't know .I wish I was good enough to call them.Nerves and choking and stuff ...leaving it altogether I think.

tsonga to beat murray?

'scream' always loses at this stage anyway.

Cartel Mike

Yer I don't know.
Andy's an enigma to me. I thought he was gone after a set and a break down today when I checked the scores, but he just frustrates players so much he gets them to miss.
Tsonga more consistent but Andy just can gets to him mentally.
I wish I could call it Carbon but I'm useless with these tight games.

Nole v Federer under 40.5 games @ Evs

Stake €38.42


Azarenka loosing today ended my each way double and a chance of covering it tomorrow but you take these things in the chin.
I guess my log wasn't set up for Grand slams or making a quick profit so doing things the hard way I'm going to take the percentage call with this bet.
Of course you can't write Roger off but Mayer gave Nole a rigorous run through in the quarters that arguably prepares him for Roger tomorrow and the importance of setting down faster.
I don't trust Roger's one handed backhand not to faulter at crucial times.

It won but my analysis of the match was so far off the mark it could have been written by a gossip columnist in the Sun. I'm staying away from write-ups for a while.

Wimbledon final

Andy to win @ 7/4

Stake, €38.32


Roger has a good story atm.Potential world no.1 equalling Sampras etc.
For me, Andy's story is by far more important.He's carries the 'greatest tennis player never to win a slam' weight around his neck like a sentenced man. Endless disappointments , he gets back up and goes again.Morally, i think he needs to win.
It's only a small stake so this one time I'm goin betting with me heart not me head.
The odds,predictions,markets, value etc don't interest me at all for this match.

Bets 11-20 review


An improvement. This time winning 5 out of 10 wagers (bets 15, 16, 17, 18 & 19).
€400 on Spain at 4/7 in bet 15 was the turnaround, wiping out the deficit and finally putting the log in the green for the first time.Since then betting just with profits.
Nows about trying to keep the log in 1st gear and figuring out a method of progressing.
That involves winning, which as we know isn't always possible.There are times sometimes when you catch a bad wave and can't get off and I guess you just have to ride those out.

That Spain bet turned the log around, going well since then. Some good picks recently.

Keep it up.

Lol thanks man, still remember that . Emptied the entire contents of bet365 account on Spain 20 mins before the match and as a result I couldn't even bring myself to watch it. I guess that's what gambling does to you sometimes.

Sorry just noticed you have a log BCK. I'm pretty bad for reading other logs.My own started so badly I know I'll just feel disheartened or embarrassed in comparison. Have you on follow now . Impressive start man , hope we can both make it to bet number 50 in the green. I'm probably going to end mine after 50 bets.
