Sunday's Bet of the Day

My bet of the day for Sunday is a trade on Federer to win 3-0 in the Australian Open Final at 8:30am UK time.

START BANK 1000
Back Federer NOW to win 3-0 200@2.14
Lay Federer to win 3-0 (in-play) 210@1.70

The three possible outcomes (after commission @5%) are;

EITHER
-200
if the 210@1.70 in-play Lay does not get matched, e.g. if Federer doesn't win first set (OUCH - stranger things have happened, but thats why its 20% of the bank not 100%)

OR
+ 76.95
if Federer wins 3-0

OR
+9.50
if Federer doesn't win 3-0

That will start the day nicely - with a little luck.

Hey betfairalfie,

Posting a comment on this section of your blog as I could not find a comments section further up.

Anyways, just to say that your Blog makes for good reading and that you should not give it up.

I agree with you about the discipline thing,(which I have none of). Did you struggle to find your discipline? My problem is that I find a strategy or several strategies, that work and work well, but then they go on a bit of a bad run and so I lose all discipline and all my betting bank. Because of this I am currently in the position where I am no longer betting, I am just hanging around checking out great sites like OLBG etc.

Catch you later
Blackie

Thanks Blackie. I have corrected the comments settings now so they appear on each new post.

I will add some more wise words on discipline to the blog. As it is such a crucial matter.
