RESULT

Santoro did come back from a set down and he has just beaten the dirty Russian woooo. Watching the score change every 5minutes on betfair is not a good way to watch a tennis match though! Having said that it was actually quite good fun and I think in-play betting is definately the way to go, you do get some ridiculous prices put up just if the player loses their serve. Although not involved in my competition with J I did do some tiddly bets with £2 stakes and ended up on top there aswell. Maybe my luck is about to change....then again I am sure silly mug punts on tennis matches I have not researched or watched is not going to win me this challenge!!

That result takes me 53p shy of my original float and now as I don't have to risk any money for at least a week I can relax and look for more realistic chances of increasing my balance.

Float = £20

Bet 1 = City to beat Brighton - LOST -£5
Bet 2 = Arsenal to beat Porto - WON - £2.67
Bet 3 = Arsenal to beat Porto & Fiorentina to beat Steau - LOST - £5
Bet 4 = Santoro to beat Schukin - WON - £7.20

Current remaining float = £19.47
