Justine Henin Did it! Will Andy Roddick Win It

Justine did it in the Memphis Open, beating Amelie Mauresmo!

More bets for the rest of the weekend - but we're almost back to square one from yesterday's betting, as 2 wins barely covered the loss.

Drawdown remains at 35%.

Today's bets - all Finals matches
ABN AMRO World Tennis - Ivan Ljubicic to beat Mikhail Youzhny @ 1.5 LOST
Copa Colsanitas - Tathiana Garbin to beat Roberta Vinci @ 1.51 VOID

And this weekend's highlight, in my opinion -

Memphis - Andy Roddick to beat Tommy Haas @ 1.53 LOST

Bet count : 34

Will Justine Do it This Time?

Am not exactly having the best results here with the betting system. Let's try till we hit a 100 bets, or the bank goes dry.

As at the last result, the drawdown is 35% of total bank.

Latest bets for today -
Dubai Duty Free Open - Justine Henin to beat Amelie Mauresmo @ 1.61 WON
Copa Colsanitas - Flavia Pennetta to beat Roberta Vinci @ 1.44 LOST
Copa Colsanitas - Tathiana Garbin to beat Lourdes D. Lino @ 1.53 WON

So I have only one bet for Friday -

Copa Telmex - Luis Horna to beat Juan Monaco @ 1.53 LOST

Bet Count : 28

More! String of losses following a string of wins.

Here's more for the weekend.
Friday nite hasn't been such a great outing, losing (so far) 3 out of 5 new bets in my last post.
The system seems quite stable, but not able to generate profits just yet.

Still trying to see how far my bank can go at a rate of 5% per bet.

Sony Ericsson Championships - Tzipora Obziler to beat Yaroslava Shvedova @ 1.61 LOST
SAP Open – Andy Roddick to beat Andrew Murray @ 1.57 LOST

Bet count : 16

Hewitt Screwed it Up!

Not such a great outcome - 1 out of 3 wins in my first attempt at betting on tennis.

2 upsets at the Davis Cup, Hewitt losing to Vliegen, whom he'd not previously met; and Melzer's loss to the Argentine Canas, who is some 50-100 places below him in the rankings.... only Tommy Haas fulfilled the predictions here.

Putting things in perspective, the outcome at 5% per bet of the betting pool, was -15 for the bets, and +7.86 on the win, giving a net outcome of -7.14%.

I've updated the scores on the previous post.

Net position - 92.86%.

Introductory Post

Welcome to my blog on sportsbetting.
Without a system, its gambling and money down the drain.

With a system, it becomes wealthbetting - using sportsbetting as a means to generate semi-passive income to build wealth.


Today I learnt my first system betting on tennis matches.

These are my bets on bet365.com

For tomorrow's Davis Cup Matches
1. Lleyton Hewitt to win at 1.57 agst Kristof Vliegen LOST
2. Tommy Haas to win at 1.57 agst Mario Ancic WON
3. Jurgen Melzer to win at 1.61 agst Guillermo Canas LOST

If this works, it will become another step on my wealthbuilding journey.
