Ups & Downs!

Sorry not been posting much of late but the silly hours I was keeping for Aussie tennis finally caught up with me and I was dying of man flu last week!

I have still been having the odd punt. Indeed I got as high as £188 or there abouts only to go back down to £6. Them's the breaks I guess. Overall I lost my entire bank AGAIN!!

So here we are at the end of January and my loss for 2011 stands at £217.86.

So with more reasonable hours to be kept over the coming weeks I have loaded up £500 hoping I can get that profit figure into the green by 1st Feb. I know it's chasing but hey I tend to do the things that you shouldn't! LOL

If I lose it then I feel it will probably be time to walk away again and just leave the punting alone.

As for Andy Murray, gutted for him again. I still feel he will win a slam, and I think it will be this year, with Wimbledon and the US a possibility. Well done to Novak though, hopefully the Federer Nadal procession is over (but that's been said before!)

Anyway on with the punting and I've backed Arsenal from the off. :o

Tennis: Alisa Kleybanova v Simona Halep

Hello everyone. Sorry not going to be blogging as normal tonight. The lack of sleep is catching up with me and I feel like crap. Thought I'd have 1 punt tonight so that is what I did and now I'm off to bed to get some much needed sleep!

The bet was GVL's favourite type! No not just WTA but backing the pre match dog after she wins the 1sts set! Halep won the 1st set so I backed at 2.24. I think she got the break for a 2*-1 lead in the 2nd at which point I layed off for £0.00 exposure on Kleybanova.

I then decided to get back on Halep when serving for the match at 5*-4 @ odds of 1.29. Of course she was broken! So into the TB we went which Halep dominated from start to finish.

Simona Halep Wins 6-3 7-6
Profit: £12.88

Tennis Florian Mayer v Kei Nishikori

The score is 4-6 3-6 6-0 1-3 when I back Nishikori at 1.19. Not sure what happenned in the 3rd set but seems to be on top otherwise. Just 3 holds from the match.

1*-4 Make that 2 holds after a love hold to consolodate the break.

2-4* A hold to 15 from Mayer keep going Kei!!

2*-5 Holds to 15. Break for GSM? That would be splendid!

0-15! ... 15-15 ... 30-15 ... 30-30 get the MP! ... 40-30 ,,, Hold.

3-5* Clutch serving now Nishikori please! 15-0 ... 30-0 ... 40-0 ... GSM

Kei Nishikori Wins 6-4 6-3 0-6 6-3
Profit: £1.81
