Time for the year end profit & loss

As another season draws to a close, it's time to look at how I've fared recently on outright tournament betting, as I won't be getting involved in the annual lottery of the Shanghai jamboree.

Wimbledon Ladies - backed Venus Williams at 20, 50 & 55 - result - win

Bastad - backed Almagro at 9 & Verdasco - result - Almagro runner up

Newport - backed Nicolas Mahut at 5.0 - result - runner up

Gstaad - backed Mathieu at 15, Andreev & Youzhny - result - Mathieu win

Stuttgart - backed Nadal at 4, Acasuso at 64 & Monaco at 54 - result - Nadal win

Countrywide Classic - backed Tursunov at 9 & Stepanek at 50 - result - Stepanek win

Kitzbuhel - backed Starace at 25, Eschauer at 50 & Patience at 100 - result Starace runner up

Umag - backed Djokovic at 2 - result - loss

Washington - backed Haas at 6.5 - result - loss

Sopot - backed Andreev & Acasuso - result - Acasuso runner up

Montreal - backed Gasquet at 50 & Baghdatis/Canas/Haas/Murray at 100 - result loss

US Open Mens - backed Djokovic at 36 - result - runner up

US Open Ladies - backed Kuznetsova at 50 - result - runner up

Madrid - backed Federer at 1.63 (layed at 1.17) - result - runner up

Zurich Ladies - backed Henin at 2 - result - win

Basel - backed Federer at 1.5 - result - win

St Petersburg - backed Murray at 5, Ancic at 7 & Verdasco at 14 - result Murray win, Verdasco runner up

Lyon - backed Gicquel at 30 - result - runner up

Paris - backed Davydenko at 50 - result - loss


So, the result of these stats tells me that if I had put £10 each-way on each selection at the initial odds, the total outcome would have been a profit of £2320.

Of course, a lot of the odds were taken on Betfair, therefore the each-way option may have been slightly lower, however a simple lay off once the player reaches the final amounts to more or less the same thing in any case. Overall then, not a bad few months on the outright wagers!

Time for a well-earned break and I shall return refreshed and invigorated for Adelaide in January.
