15 July calm down, dear!

5 of the 6 favs trotted up yesterday - only Pironkova got beat, hardly a surprise after her poor 1r perf. As I type, Rezai's in the 1st set tiebreak but so far, all 7 favs have won today.

Took yesterday off and started today well, but had a disaster on the Szavay, Oprandi and Errani matches, not greening up when I had the chance and not going red soon enough. And I was snookered by Hradecka's dominant display - rare to see a fast 1.01 train in WTA. Not entirely sure why I decided to try laying those favs today. Oh well, bad day.

Temptation to pile into Rezai was strong, but walked away as she was way too short playing her umpteenth match in a few days and against a competent claycourter.The qf's tomorrow look promising. Mustn't chase!!! (hence the title of the post)

Hi - great blog - just realised you were back :-)

Just trying to get an idea of your ROI? Roughly how much would you invest trading on average match. Hope that's not too personal :-)

I'm just starting to trade WTA after being a profitable pre-post WTA bettor so trying to get a sense of scale. Thanks

hi

i don't bother with ROI. not sure how you apply that to in play betting. you could bet many hundreds on each player only to end up with a net of zero. what's the ROI for that?

i only look at 2 things - max liability at any time of 10% of bank per event, and try to win about 5% of bank on each event.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, fair comment re ROI. I'm new to trading though a huge WTA fan (I've been betting pre-post for a while) so just trying to get a sense of what
smart traders like yourself do :-)
