Palermo v Crotone

Olivia Palermo


Very odd this one. I have taken Over 1.5 Goals at 1.20 before kick off. I could probably have got higher as it's traded at over 1.30. But bizarrely Over 1.5 Goals is in the 1.40's?? It doesn't make sense that it will be 0-0 if that market is there.

Anyway if there is something fishy I will get burnt.

Palermo have the league all sewn up but hopefully they'll want to finish in style in front of a home crowd. Crotone need to secure their Play Off place still so have something to play for.

Looking now it must have been an error as the odds have come tumbling down and are around 1.11/1.12 now :-)

0-0 at half time. The referee obviously fancied a cup of tea as he blew for the break with 4 seconds still on the clock. No stoppages? Hmmm.

Well I went to the pub after half time to watch the England game which I was hoping to get in to after a fast result from this but no. It finished 0-0. I guess sometimes value doesn't matter when the result goes against you :-)

Johanna Larsson v Eugenie Bouchard

Johanna Larsson - The power of airbrush and make up!
She does NOT look like that in real life!


Bouchard has taken the first set 5-7 and will be serving first in the second.

I have got on at 1.12

Toulon Tournament England v Columbia

Daniela Tamayo - Columbian Totty


I believe a draw will see England qualify for the 3rd place play off with Portugal. I'm going to go for Over 1.5 goals here. I know it's only 40 minutes each way but Engalnd should be able to score a couple.

Agnieszka Radwanska v Ajla Tomljanovic

Ajla Tomljanovic


Tomljanovic has taken the 1st set 4-6 and has broken in the first game of the 2nd set for 0-1*.

I have backed her at odds of 1.96.

And she holds for a 0*-2 lead.

Radwanska also holds for 1-2* I could green out for £12 profit but a little longer.

I think that Radwanska needs to exit the tournament here to stop people being traumatised by that outfit! What is she wearing?

Tomljanovic holds comfortably for 1*-3 a break now would be very nice indeed.

0-15... hello? Not this time, 4 straight points for another hold. 2-3*. I could green for £30.00, tempting but I'll stick for now.

Solid hold for 2*-4 I could green for £85 now. Hmmm.

Love service game for Radwanska! And it's 3-4* Green available for £45.72. Greed may be getting the better of me here.

Uh oh... 0-15... and now 15-30... 30-30... FFS 30-40... Great save Deuce... BP#2... Deuce... BP#3... Deuce, great net work... GP... And HOLDS for 3*-5. I can green for £121 now. But let's let it ride!!!

Easy hold from Radwanska means Tomljanovic will have to serve this out. Could green out for £100 or take £195 if she holds. Decissions, decissions!

15-0... 30-0... 30-15... 30-30 c'mon!!! 40-30... GSM YESSSS!!!!

Flamengo v Figueirense

If Carlsberg did football fans...


And on we go to some Brazilian Campeonato action. Sticking with the Over 1.5 Goals in this. Again can't resist the odds of 1.50 even though neither have exactly been banging them in this season.

It's kind of an unwritten rule of mine not to go back in as I usually ended up getting my fingers burnt. However the odds for Over 2.5 are very appealing at 1.44 so here we go. It's currently 1-1 at half time.

Club Deportivo Universidad Catolica v Nublense

Josefina Montane 


And on to some Chilean Cup football as there isn't a lot on at the moment.

11 minutes gone in this and still 0-0 when I get on at 1.36 on Over 1.5 Goals.

0-0 at half time so Nublense still holding on to their 1-0 lead from the first leg. That should open it up as Catolica will have to attack in the second half. Still hopeful for goals here.

54 minutes gone and Nublense have opened the scoring with a penalty from Luciano Vazquez

62 minutes and there's the equaliser from Braulio Brizuela

Saudi Arabia v Georgia

Wardah Khan - originally from Saudi Arabia


Staying with the football and this time we have an international friendly between these two great footballing nations.

The odds are probably so high for Over 1.5 goals for a reason but I just can't resist at that price.

Going in from the kick off on Over 1.5 goals at 1.64

Saudi Arabia blazed it high and wide when through on goal. Not a promising sign after 10 minutes.

Goal!!!! 0-1 Georgia leaves it till the death of the 1st half. 47 minutes on the clock when Tornike Okriashvili scores.

Half time 0-1 I could trade out now for about £7 profit but I think I'll let it run.

70 minutes on the clock and it's 0-2. Vladimir Dvalishvili with the goal.

£50 to £5,000 Challenge

It's been ages since I did a challenge so I thought I'd have another go between now (Thursday evening) and Sunday as the kids are away with the Mrs for a few days. I'm very rusty so this will probably crash and burn!

Rules are as per my old style challenge... There aren't any! :-)

Will be on tennis and football predominantly so here we go.

Christina McHale v Silvia Soler Espinosa

Well I predicted she would take a set at least at evens, but wasn't confident enough to back the win! Hope some of you got on :-)

Silvia Soler Espinoser won 5-7 7-6 6-3


Silvia Soler Espinosa

Has it really been that long?

Blimey no posts since November 2012????

Well apologies for that. I have been busy with other things but have still been punting. To be honest I've mostly been playing the goals markets in football but have started to dabble back in to tennis over recent weeks which made me have a look on here.

I know this isn't a tipping site but and my style of betting rarely sees me back a player from the start, but for a bit of fun I thought I'd give my tips for Friday's semi finals

I'm going with the Internationaux de Strasbourg


Monica Puig
Christina McHale v Silvia Soler Espinosa

McHale is the favourite at around 1.38 as I write. I fancy Silvia Soler Espinosa to take a set and think it's got to be worth a few quid at around evens.


Madison Keys v Monica Puig

I really fancy Puig here again at around evens. Maybe I just want revenge for the hotty Julia Goerges who Keys knocked out in the previous round. I think she looks like a young Sandra Bullock, how about you?


Julia Goerges
