Alize Cornet v Yanina Wickmayer

Cornet leads 7-5 5*-4 when I get on at 1.11.

Always dodgy backing a hold to win the match in WTA but here goes anyway!

0-15 FFS!!! ... 0-30!!! Cornet you muppet! 4 easy points please! ... Phew Wickmayer should have won that point but sent it long 15-30 ...Grrrr 15-40 ... Fight Alize! Much better 30-40 it's all about the 1st serve! ... 2nd serve ... Bugger and break for 5-5*.

0-15 ... 15-15 ... FFS Alize you should have had that point but it goes just long for 30-15 ... Again too much on it 40-15 ... Yanina returning the favour this time though 40-30 ... C'mon Deuce ... GP ... FFS very lucky net chord gives her the game and a 5*-6 lead this set.

Now then ski slope nose let's be getting in to the tibreak at the very least! Hmmm don't like the sound of her moaning with her coach, I think she sounds like she lacks self belief she can win.

0-15 ... 15-15 thanks to a wild shot from Yanina when she was dominating the point ... pfffft 15-30 that was a weak shot ... 30-30 much better point that time ... 40-30 great defence in that point ... And she holds for 6-6.

Tiebreak time with Wickmayer to serve 1st

Mini break 1**-0 two holds please.
Great lob from Cornet 2*-0 another like that please.
2nd serve ... Double Fault!!! Idiot!!! 2-1**
C'mon the MB ... Yesss! 3-1*
Another? ... Yeppa! 4**-1 Now hold them BOTH!
Wickmayer goes wide 5*-1 change of ends better not mean a change in fortunes!
2nd Serve ... poor return 6-1**
2nd serve ... GSM Championship

Bet 1 - Football - Euro 2012

Ukraine v France

Went for the simple Over 0.5 goals in this one at 1.11.

We had crazy weather in this match and a delay of 55 mins. When it was under way I had to wait till the 53rd minute when Menez gave France the lead. Cabaye made it 0-2 on 56 and that was how it finished.

Bet 2 - Football - Euro 2012
Sweden v England

Again I went for the safe option of Over 0.5 Goals at great odds of 1.15.

Andy Carroll landed my bet after 23 minutes to give England the lead. An own goal on 49 levelled it before the Swedes went ahead through Mellberg on 59 minutes.

England showed some great spirit though first with Walcott equalising on 64 before Welbeck scored the winner on 78 mins. 2-3 I wonder what the odds were for Over 4.5 considering Over 0.5 was so high?

Bet 4 - Football - Euro 2012
Spain v Republic of Ireland

This one annoyed the heck out of me as I was stuck on the phone and missed the start. Wanted to take Over 2.5 goals which was about 1.84. Unfortunately by the time I got into it it was already 1-0 and the odds were 1.33. I took that anyway.

I had to wait for the next goal till the 49th minute when Silva fired home. Torres completed his brace and made my bet win in the 70th minute before Fabregas sealed a 4-0 victory on 83 minutes.

Another foray into Colomian footy. Didn't know either team but took a punt on Over 1.5 Goals after about 40 mins whilst the score was 1-0. Got odds of 1.29-1.33.

Cordoba landed the bet with an equaliser on 78 minutes and that's how the match finished.
