Tennis

A high and a low for today. I'm quite enjoying making little in-play tennis bets at the moment and am quite amazed at how the odds can fluctuate so much based on one or two points. Gonzo went a set down to Gulbis earlier (one break of serve) and all of a sudden his odds went to 9/2. Considering it was just one break of serve I thought i'd get in on the action. I did invisige him extremely stressed though so thought that might be why his odds were so long. It wasn't til I went back to check the score later that I realised I hadn't placed the bet. My excuse was that I had about 10 windows open all on different websites looking for odds and was more interested in my cup of tea than pressing the accept bet button. What a dick.

Pissed off I looked for more tennis action to get into and saw that Ivanovic (a set up) was trailing Cibulkova in the 2nd Set. I watched for a while and the slovak took the 2nd set. The third set was typical women's tennis and neither could hold their serve, but if that continued it would result in the underdog potentially having two chances to serve it out. I decided to Make my 5th bet and stick a £5er on at the ridiculous price of 3.7. I decided to check Eurosport to see if it was on and it was except by the time I had done this it had gone to a bloody tie-break. I watched intently and would you believe it Ivanovic crumbled and I got yet another win!! I think as I am often free in the day this is going to be my new favourite hobby, particularly if I can find a game that's on the telly!
