Week 2 + Australian Open

Oooopssss!!!

OK, so I forgot to post anything the last few weeks. Let me break it down quickly....

Week 2 was boring. I couldn't be bothered staying up all night for the little bit of action so just had some punts and traded the first matches on in Auckland. Missed a couple of big trades by a couple of ticks - being greedy!! - which was frustrating but the punts did OK so quite happy with the week.

For the Aussie Open I was staying up through most nights and going to bed around midday after the night session finished. I just got completely knackered and brain functions were pretty limited :).

I had quite a few disappointments during the tournament, backed a lot of dogs who took it to a 5th set then lost (off the top of my head remember Safin, Gremelmayr, Haase, Koubek). The one that really turned it around for me was Hewitt against Baghdatis but that should never have gone to 5!!

Had a nice day with Cilic beating Gonzalez and Ferrero beating Nalbandian very comfortably. Also played a lot of handicaps and over/under total games which surprisingly went pretty well. Sure a couple of bookmakers will be keeping an eye on my during the next slam with these markets :).

Had a really nice end to the tournament. Backed Djokovic against Federer pretty big which was extra sweet as I love beating Federer. Backed the Bondarenko babes in the final of the ladies doubles which was also very enjoyable.

Also need to talk about Tsonga. WOW!!! How good was this guy? Cost me a lot of money as I backed Gasquet, Youzhny (big) and Nadal against him and Tsonga crushed them all. Backed Tsonga to win the 1st set in the final which worked out well but still lost out on him during the tournament.

Obviously I haven't mentioned everything, I've tried to forget most of the losses! Ended up making a decent profit, but had a few bumpy days along the way.

Happy with the way this year has gone so far, and I've got a huge plan ready for the French/Wimbledon part of the year. So anyone out there, please keep reading!!!!!
