1. £100 on Murray to beat Volandri at 1.62
2. £162 on Ferrer to beat Tipsarevic at 1.25
3. £202.50 on Nadal to beat Ferrero 2-0 at 1.26
4. 255.15 on Nadal to beat Ferrer at 1.21. Potential return £308.73
5. 308.73 on Nadal to beat Davy at 1.19. Currently 30-30 in the first game.

Right, got 367.39 after all that so am going to bank my stake just to be safe and go as far as possible with £267.39, cant lose nothing now so it's worth it but a bit risky as you never know if people this week are going to tank for Rome

6. £267.39 on Nicolas Almagro to beat Volandri at 1.41. Almagro has already beaten Volandri twice on clay this season and is lightyears ahead of him, it's in his home country so im hoping theres no resting up for Rome and he beats him comfortably again. Potential return £379.81

7. £379.81 on Murray to beat Del Potro at 1.46. Returns £554.52

8. £554.52 on Chela to beat Isner at 1.25

How on earth can Chela be outclassed on clay by John fucking Isner? Is Chela dead and theyve put his corpse on the court instead? I know he's a twat at times but fucking hell Isner cant do anything but serve.

Oh well at least I didnt lose my original stake I suppose

Fuck sake, Chela would of finished that match off in about 40mins if it werent for the rain, the serve was slowing and Isner had been broken twice now he'll come back refreshed and Chela wont be able to break him.

Could back Isner / lay Chela now and get a lot of the money back but cant be fucked, i'll let it ride.

Cheers!

I'd of still rather it didnt rain, Chela was 4-1 up in the 4th and completely dominating but luckily it made no difference and he repeated the same when play resumed.

I'll go on for a couple more yet, theres to many that should be to easy (i hope) to get in the French. I might get stung eventually but I already banked the £100 i started with so it wouldnt be to disastrous, I'll have a see what happens over the next few days.

Blake fucked me over a couple of times.
And at 1.5?
I'd stay to under 1.3 for this challenge.
All the breast though!

He's struggling to hold on to his serve most of the time, I'm resigned to losing the money. :butt

Another stupid tennis bet on my part and like you say should have went for lower odds on another match.

9. £693.15 on David Ferrer to beat Gael Monfils at 1.34. It's tomorrow but taking this now as I think the price might go shorter. I dont see how Monfils can beat him, he might have the home crowd but the crowd cant play tennis for him. All he's done the whole tournament is get the ball back in play and Ferrer will absolutely love that.

I'm pretty new to gambling but thought I would open an account with Willy Hill.Soon got hooked and decided to give the tennis a go after the Euro's finished.
  What I have found is that it is virtually impossible to predict any matches that don't involve the very top players. I know a bit about the game and have been looking up the rankings and surface preferences of the players involved before betting.
  A player at 3/1 seems just as likely to win as one at 1/3. I've taken a caning on it but if you follow the matches live on the net it's pretty entertaining!
  It would take a fucking miracle to predict 21/21 even if you stuck to what looked like dead certs. I'm starting to think the odds offered are designed to mislead mugs like me.

Bet 1. Djokovic to bt Berdych 1/5. 100 returns 120
So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

Bit gutted I didn't end up backing Tipsy after all. Montanes screwed up my last attempt at this, hopefully it doesn't happen again.

Bet 1: £100 on Kanepi to beat Safarova @ 8/15 = £155.
Bet 2: £155 on Moya to beat Montanes @ 1/3 = Pending.

Moya made hard work of that, but thankfully he came through.

Bet 1: £100 on Kanepi to beat Safarova @ 8/15 = £155.
Bet 2: £155 on Moya to beat Montanes @ 1/3 = £206.15.
Bet 3: £206.15 on Bammer to beat Malek @ 1/5 (in-play, 4-6 *5-2) = £247.38.

Attempt C

Bet 1: £100 on Kanepi to beat Safarova @ 8/15 = £155.
Bet 2: £155 on Moya to beat Montanes @ 1/3 = £206.15.
Bet 3: £206.15 on Bammer to beat Malek @ 1/5 (in-play 4-6 *5-3) = £247.38.
Bet 4: £247.38 on Zheng to beat Pavlyuchenkova @ 2/9 = Pending.

Going well at the minute, but it certainly hasn't been easy.

Both the Kanepi and Moya matches went to a deciding set, and Bammer had to come from 5-3 behind in the final set, saving 2 match points in the process.

Hoping that Pavlyuchenkova won't end this on Bet 4 for the second time in a row.

Bet 1: £100 on Medina Garrigues to beat Chan @ 2/5 = £142.
Bet 2: £142 on Zvonareva to beat Hantuchova @ 4/11 = £195.96.

Another risky one given Zvonareva's form, but I think Jelena should be able to come through as the winner.

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 = Pending.

What a load of bollocks that was, Venus had over 20 fuckin break point chances and only converted on two the fucking shite bitch. Absolutely fucking ridiculous. Go fuck off to fashion if your not fully into tennis.
