<br />
Not a bad start to the season. The month of August normally brings some good offers for the matched betting, and that was the case. I managed to lock in a profit of £191 for MB in August.<br />
<br />
The trading was also not bad, I was using small stakes and managed to make £96.94. So my bank after August stands at £787.94<br />
<br />
Figures crossed it carries on.<br />

<br />
So before the first round of the US OPEN started I put a few bets on in the 'winner; market. I did not bother with Nadal and Federer as there was no value and they were the favorites. So for a bit of fun I put a few bets on a few of the other predicted quarter finalists. I backed Cilic @17.5, Thiem @38, Isner @75, Dimitrov @17.5 and Zverev @ 6.4 and Tsonga @60.<br />
<br />
I also backed Kyrgios @ 25 as a bit of an outsider, because of his good form recently. Big mistake as he went out in the first round!!!!<br />
<br />
So after the first round all my 6 major QF picks got through. But then after the second round, it all went a bit 'pear-shaped' with a few of the top players going out. Dimitrov was very poor in his second round match and Tsonga was very poor too. The major shock, was the third favourite, Zeverv going out to Coric.<br />
<br />
After the first round I also had a little bet on Del Potro @38.25 and after the second round I also had a little punt on Sam Querrey @ 42 as he has set up an american battle with Isner in the third round.<br />
<br />
Then finally last night when Federer was in big trouble I backed him for a small profit @5. So this is what my booked looks like now,<br />
<br />

<br />
Sam Querrey has had a good season this season and if things turn out the way I expect them too, we should have a fourth round match with two Americans fighting it out, with Querrey facing Isner. I think Isner will just shade this match to reach the quarterfinal<br />
The player everyone has been talking about this year is Zverev, he is one of the exciting next gen players. He might have a slightly tricky match against Anderson in round 3, but he should come through that match. That might set up a match against another American, Jack Sock. I think Zverev will win this match to set up a match with John Isner.<br />
<br />
3rd QF - Isner Vs Zverev<br />
<br />
I think Tsonga has a good draw. He may play Almagro in the third round, but I think he will be too strong for Almagro. That for me is his only tricky match if he plays well. I think he will reach the QF.<br />
The final part sees Cilic play. He will have a tricky match against Ferrer, but I think he will come through this to reach the QF.<br />
<br />
4th QF - Tsonga Vs Cilic<br />
<br />
So for the QF's we have<br />
<br />
Nadal Vs Dimitrov<br />
Federer Vs Thiem<br />
Isner Vs Zverev<br />
Tsonga Vs Clic<br />
<br />
I think the Nadal vs Dimitrov match could be very good, if Dimitrov brings his 'A' game, but I think because of his intensity and aggression, Nadal will take this<br />
Federer Vs Thiem will be interesting. Old gen vs New Gen. But I think the old Gen, still has too much for Thiem.<br />
Isner Vs Zverev will be interesting as the crowd will be behind Isner. However, I think Zverev is looking very good and will win this.<br />
As for the final match, I think this will be a good match and could go the distance. However, I think Cilic will take this.<br />
<br />
So the Semi-Finals<br />
<br />
Nadal Vs Federer - I think this will be a classic, but I think on hard courts Federer will just shade it<br />
Zverev Vs Cilic - Both players are in good form this season, but I think, barring nerves Zverev will book his place in his first grand slam final<br />
<br />
The Final<br />
<br />
Federer Vs Zverev<br />
<br />
Again Old Gen vs New Gen. This could be a cracker. However, for me, the changing of the guard is not just yet. Federer has had a brilliant season and will round it off with 3/4 of the slams. Who would of thought that at the beginning of the season.<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
The US Open starts today, so I thought I would have a look at the draw and try to pick a few contenders. The first half of the draw has Nadal and Federer, however, the second half of the draw is wide open, with no Murray and no Djokovic.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So lets have a look and try to predict the quarter finals and eventual winner.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1st Half of the draw.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There is a potential for some good matches here. Nadal should easily come through his first and second round matches, before he faces Gasquet in the third round. Gasquet could give him a test, but with the best of 5 sets I think Nadal will win this. He then should have a potential match against Berdych. Poor Berdych has a shocking record against Nadal, ever since he sssshhhh the home crowd when he beat Nadal in 2006. I can only see one winner here and that is Nadal. </div>
<div>
The other main contender for this half of the draw is dimitrov, he finally won his first 1000 tournament the other week, to get the 'monkey' off his back. His draw is not to bad, he could potentially play Goffin or Monfils in the 4th Round. Over 5 sets I think he would have too much for either opponent and he will make it through to the quarterfnals</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1st QF - Nadal Vs Dimitrov</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Federer has looked back to his best this season, He will potential play Lopez in the 3rd round. Lopez has had a good season, but I think the way federer is playing, I can't see Lopez winning this one. Then Federer would potential play Kyrigos. This has the potential to be a great match. Kyrigos showed the other week against Nadal, that on his day he is an awesome talent. However, can he keep the consistency up. I think over 5 sets Federer will be too good. </div>
<div>
The other main contender in this part of the draw is Theim. He is one of the next gen players. He should get through his first three matches ok until he will potentially face Del Potro in the 4th Round. Del Potro has been very unfortunate with injuries throughout hos carer. This should be a good match, but over 5 sets and the way he has been playing recently, I think Thiem will win this to set up a match with Federer.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2nd QF - Federer Vs Thiem</div>

<br />
A frustrating weekend, with trades not reaching correct entry points, but I did manage some green, mainly thanks to a couple of matched betting offers. I managed to make £19.96 with a couple of football offers from various bookies.<br />
<br />
I carried out a few trades, and came away with +£20.82<br />
<br />
So a total profit of +£40.78 for the weekend<br />
<br />
Happy Trading<br />

<br />
The first two weeks of the season have started well, with most of my green coming from free bet offers for the start of the new season. For the first two weeks of the season I managed to lock in a profit of £136.59 from free bet offers. Hopefully, these offers will not dry up too quickly.<br />
<br />
A steady start with the trading as well with a profit of £64.85. The bulk of that profit has come from the correct score market. I haven't really dabbled in the match markets yet, I like to wait for a few matches before using the old strategies such as LTD.<br />
<br />
Happy Trading folks<br />

<br />
Sorry I have not posted for a long time. I have not really done much trading over the last year as I now work shifts. However, with the start of the new season I have decided to give it another go. I am starting with a bank of £500 and I will see how things progress. I will try and post more articles and results more frequently to keep people up to date.<br />

<br />
Well yesterday can only be described as a disaster. I think also, looking back, it was extermely frustrating. I lost big yesterday as I made one stupid mistake and then tried to chase the lose. Believe it or not I didn't even go into play.<br />
<br />
<br />
The first 4 races of the day, no problem, I traded really well. Then I traded the 14:45 at Haydock Park. It was a 6f Maiden stakes and Frankie Dettori was the favouirte , I was trading on the second favourite. I gained a couple of ticks and then went back into a second trade with about 3 minutes to go and yes, you guested it the trade went against me quickly. However, I didn;t painc I tried to hedge out for £1 loss, but the money went through that before I had time to hedge out. When the odds stopped I was looking at a £5 loss. The odds then bounced back up slightly and I thought the odds would come back as people were backing Dettori, so I stayed in, big mistake. Then as the horses were loading up Dettori's horse started refusing and playing up!!! Well that just hurt me even more and during the delay to the start of the race, more and more people starting backing the second favourite and just before the start of the race I was £18 down. The only good point, was I did hedged out, finally and did not go in-play!!!!!<br />
<br />
I was annoyed and frustrated with myself, and I know at this point many people have said you should take a break, but I didn't and I proceeded to start doing stupid straight betting on horses to try and make the money back......why, I have never done that before!!!!<br />
<br />
A few races later and I had lost around £75 down!!!!<br />
<br />
I then gave myself a good talking too and then tried to knuckled down and get back to it and traded beautifully for the rest of the day....Arghhhhhh why could I not do that all day.<br />
<br />
Could it have been overconfidence after two good days of trading, before yesterday. Well it was a serious kick up the arse.<br />

<br />
I am going to try and record my ramblings on here as I trade the horses. I am using £5 stakes to start off with. The first day did not start well. A maiden stakes race went against me very rapidly and I did not hedge out. Instead I let it go in play and I lost a decent chunk of money. I need to start focussing on protecting my bank, not on how much I can make. If you execute trades correctly that should take care of itself.<br />
<br />
Anyway I managed to clear my head and traded well for a good few races. Then I had a small lose later in the day, although I should of hedged out quicker but my reactions were too slow. Then at the end of the day when a trade went against me again I let it go in-play. This time I got away with it.<br />
Lesson for day 1:- DO NOT LET TRADES GO IN-PLAY, TAKE THE LOSS AND MOVE ON.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Day 2 was a lot better, I was more focussed, maybe it was because I got up early went for a run and had my lunch before I sat down to trade. I did not go into play once and only had one lose. Overall, alot better. Just need to keep that going.<br />

<br />
Sorry I have not posted since March, a lot of things have been going on. Firstly there was a redundancy campaign at work, which I fortunately survived. Also I have taken on a new role at work now working shifts. I have been in the role for a couple of months and I am settling nicely. I am know hoping that I will be able to get some more serious trading done, particularly in the horse markets. With the new shifts I work 4 days and then I am off for 4 days. So I am hoping to try and crack the horse markets once and for all. I will still be doing the football when I can, and I will try and still post my betting selections this year as well.<br />

<br />
Sorry it has been a while. I have been reallu busy with work, so I have not done much trading this year. Anyway lets have a look at tonight's match between Man Utd and Liverpool. Liverpool won the first leg 2-0 at Anfield and but for De Gea, the Man Utd goalkeeper, the tie would have been over. However, with Liverpools poor record at Man Utd, this could be an interesting match.<br />
<br />
Man Utd - 2.8<br />
Liverpool - 3.0<br />
Draw - 3.35<br />
<br />
There is value in LTD in this one @3.4. I think the price should be around 9.1<br />
<br />
The last 10H2H's at Old Trafford have yielded no draws, 8 Man Utd wins and 2 Liverpool wins.<br />
<br />
Man Utd have won 16 of their last 25 home matches. Liverpool have won 11 of their last 25 away matches.<br />
<br />
In the last 12 home matches Man Utd have scored 1.50gpg, conceded 0.58gpg. They have kept 7/12 clean sheets and scored in 8/12<br />
<br />
In the last 12 away matches Liverpool have scored 1.83gpg, conceded 1.42gpg. They have kept 3/12 clean sheets and scored in 7/12<br />
<br />
Man Utd are on top in terms of the stats.<br />
<br />
There is a 80% chance of 1 or more goals<br />
There is a 62% chance of over 1.5 goals.<br />
There is a 45% chance of over 2.5 goals.<br />
<br />
For this match I will LTD from the start and I may also have a small lay on Liverpool in the 'To Qualify' market, as I think 1.14 is a bit short<br />
<br />
Happy Trading<br />

<br />
There are 3 matches I will be looking at this evening:<br />
<br />
<b>Mgladbach Vs Hamburg </b><br />
<br />
Mgladbach are odds on favourites here and the odds seem about right. Both teams have not started the season well. Mgladbach have lost all three of their matches and Hamburg have lost 2 of their first 3 matches. Although Mgladbach had a good record in the last 12 home matches, I cannot LTD from the start in this one because of their poor start this season. However, if it is a draw at HT, I will look to LTD as there are nomally goals in the second half for both these teams. I might also look to Lay the HT 0-0, but I will wait until the odds are around 2.5.<br />
<b> </b><br />
<b>PSG Vs Bordeaux</b><br />
<br />
PSG have started the season well, winning their first 4 matches. However, Bordeaux have started well too, with only 1 defeat in their first 4. I cannot LTD from the begining in this one as the odds are too high. I might LTD at HT, but I suspect the odds will still be too high. If Bordeaux take a suprise lead in the first half, I will look to lay them, but again I suspect the odds will be too high.<br />
<b> </b><br />
<b>Levante Vs Sevilla</b><br />
<br />
Sevilla are the favourites here, but they are the away team and I only tend to LTD from the start when there is a strong home favourite. I may LTD at HT, depending on how the game progresses as there is normally a goal in the second half for both these teams.<br />
