For the second consecutive week, I've managed to pick a tournament winner at a very nice price. Following on from Mathieu's success in Switzerland, my outside wager on Radek Stepanek obliged last night over in the Countrywide Classic in LA with a finals win over James Blake.
As this kind of success is not a regular occurrence I feel I'm entitled to blow my own trumpet a bit when I mention the starting price of 50 to 1 on Stepanek at the outset. Of course, I layed a bit off the Czech before the final to ensure an all profit outcome, but most of my hard earned was resting on Radek and his victory helped to soothe the pain of Tiger Woods' poor performance in The Open.
I was also collecting over in Stuttgart when my opportunist wager on Nadal obliged at odds of 3-1. I happened to be in the right place at the right time for that one, but it was welcome all the same.
In Holland, the Amersfoort tournament that I called as being too tricky for a wager was won by number 297 in the world, Steve (who) Darcis. Enough said.
I had a few nice individual match bets during the week (and a few losers) and in all have ended the week with a decent profit, which might be boosted today if the cricket finishes in a draw.
Lots of tennis events this week and no Nadal, so it's eyes down now for an in-depth look at the week's activities.
