Well done on those two recent bets mate, took alot of balls as they were by no means certainties. I would cash in if I was you. Made a tidy sum.

This is the best I have ever done on the challenge. I think I will go for 1 or 2 more bets and then that is it.

Bet 1: £100 on Medina Garrigues to beat Chan @ 2/5 = £142.
Bet 2: £142 on Zvonareva to beat Hantuchova @ 4/11 = £195.96.
Bet 3: £195.96 on Zvonareva to beat Bartoli @ 4/9 = £280.22.
Bet 4: £280.22 on Kanepi to beat Pavlyuchenkova @ 1/2 = £420.33.
Bet 5: £420.33 on Jankovic to beat Zvonareva @ 4/7 = £659.22.
Bet 6: £659.22 on Nishikori to beat Granollers @ 1/3 = Pending.

I can't see this next one having too much trouble. I'm really confident about this one even with me having a massive amount on it.

Bet 1: £100 on Medina Garrigues to beat Chan @ 2/5 = £142.
Bet 2: £142 on Zvonareva to beat Hantuchova @ 4/11 = £195.96.
Bet 3: £195.96 on Zvonareva to beat Bartoli @ 4/9 = £280.22.
Bet 4: £280.22 on Kanepi to beat Pavlyuchenkova @ 1/2 = £420.33.
Bet 5: £420.33 on Jankovic to beat Zvonareva @ 4/7 = £659.22.
Bet 6: £659.22 on Nishikori to beat Granollers @ 1/3 = £883.35.
Bet 7: £883.35 on Tursunov to beat Kunitsyn @ 2/7 = Pending.

Very odd, went to place the bet and couldn't find Tursurnov anywhere. Very odd.

Must've pulled out cos Kunitsyn is playing Kukushkin now.

Probably still getting over the shock of actually winning a tournament.

Fucking hell, thats a brave one mate! A match between two russians in russia.

I dunno how close these two are friend wise but Safin is absolutely desperate for ranking points. But Davydenko looks good this week and motivated so if theres no dodgyness he should win comfortably.

This next one is dodgy because it could go either way, but I really do think Kohly will win.

Bet 1: £100 on Monfils to beat Fognini @ 1/5 = £120.
Bet 2: £120 on Soderling to beat Serra @ 1/5 = £144.
Bet 3: £144 on Lopez to beat Montanes @ 2/7 = £183.
Bet 4: £183 on Kohlschreiber to beat Wawrinka @ 4/5 = Lost.

I was stuck between Tsonga or Birdshit for my next bet. I've ended up backing Birdshit due to Wawrinka being shite lately. I just hope Birdshit turns up.

All the matches remaining are too dodgy to be putting big amounts on. I'll happily withdraw my £593 and have another go next year.

Bet 1: £100 on Mattek to beat Fichman @ 1/5 = £119.
Bet 2: £119 on Kohlschreiber to beat Youzhny @ 8/15 = £181.
Bet 3: £181 on Monfils to beat Monaco @ 2/7 = £230.

New year so it's time to start this challenge again. Going to be harder than usual because more shocks usually occur at the start of the year so I'm going to be trying my best to avoid those.

My first bet should have no trouble what so ever. I love backing AMG against people she's better than because she never fails to let me down.

Bet 1: £100 on Medina Garrigues to beat Santangelo @ 1/3 = Pending.

Nice and easy start which is good.

Bet 1: £100 on Medina Garrigues to beat Santangelo @ 1/3 = £131.
Bet 2: £131 on Ferrero to beat Serra @ 8/15 = Lost.

Quite confident on this one as well. Ferrero should be too good for the Frenchman.
