Bets 21-30 review

Only four out of 10 bets won this time (bets 24, 25,26,& 30)

Old habits returned,bad choices & general mishandling of stakes.Problem with being streakey is that loosing one bet means you probably gonna lose next 3-4 which is exactly whats being happening.Nothing makes much difference , I don't know how other people curb these loosing runs , I've always struggled with that.

Fed won the toss but unfortunately he elected to receive first ( in both sets).Hcaps always less likely to win against a serve machine like Big John this way.
Unfortunate.

Rory to win PGA championship @ 4/7


Stake €215



Rory will be starting his final round in under an hour's time on -7 currently leading the field 3 shots ahead of Petterson and 4 shots ahead of Scott & Imellman. I hope he will finish on top at 4/7. Not sure if this is classed an in-play bet or not , I try stay away from in-play stuff for this log generally.

Dodig tb Troicki @ 5/4

Stake €37.86


Not much in this one.Dodig has massive balls. It was either this tournament or the other one that he knocked Nadal out in straight sets last year. There are matches where his serve deserts him but when he's on he's hard to beat.

Log kinda stuffy, brings me down a bit if I'm honest (obviously loosing streaks don't help!)

Maybe I should change it a bit even for a one post or even one bet to just to break the monotony.
Logs, by their very nature are serious cause real money is involved but I'm not sure most of the time if mine will ever make that much. Too many impossible results in tennis right now to even contemplate going all in dosn't help.

The Bandit to beat Haase@ 4/7

Stake €94


I wrote two paragraphs on this but because I'm on the phone I lost it.
To recap David Pablo Nalbandian ,alias Nalby, Nalbandy, Bandy ,Big Dave or "The Bandit" is the greatest player on the planet right now a fact that is widely acknowledged and accepted by all those who are "ranked" above him(lol).

The bandit is hungry and the only thing that can satisfy this hunger is the blood of his enemies.

Cartel Mike

Too easy.

The Bandit shows no mercy wins 6-2 6-4.

Post match interview with Robin:

Q/ Robin What happened out there?

A/" I try for sure but when you step on the court with David there is no hope, he kills you from everywhere.For sure he is the greatest tennis player i have ever played."


"Kills you from everywhere" .....what a concept.


Imo they should just give him the US open now.
Seriously who's going to stop him?
Not these two...






Typical top 4 players reaction when they find out The bandit is on THEIR side if the draw.



(Ok I promise to go back to being to being all serious again)

Bets 31-40 review


Just 3 bets won (33, 35 & 39)

Log not really going anywhere .In fact I'm winning less bets now than I was earlier.
Sometimes get sick of tennis , with alot of indifferent players this part of the season come alot of indifferent results.
What I'd like to do is win 10 bets in a row see if that can be done.That needs enthusiasm and commitment and that only comes from stringing a few wins back to back.

US open

Arvidsson tb Ivanovic @ 3/1
Shevdova tb Vinci @ 5/4

Double, Stake €10



I've only ever lost money on this open.
Been off gambling for a bit and €10 is as much as I'd part with . Don't know how cold the water is.

Not saying that this one is going to beat the beautiful Anna but she sure is better than a 3/1 chance .
Both matches are between four totally unreliable bints that just about any scoreline is possible
so it's worth a try imo.

I think Spurs will trash some team soon and it might be Norwich .
Alot of goal-mouth action in the West ham game with a bit of luck could see a few goals.
