A Tennis Training Schedule For Competitive Tennis Players Throughout the Year

Every elite tennis player has a tennis training schedule that is closely followed on a daily basis. A good tennis training schedule should account for the athlete’s training for every part of the day.

A tennis training schedule is probably one of the most important aspects for a competitive tennis player.
Not only will a tennis training plan emphasize and outline a clear goal, but it will keep the athlete on track to make sure that he or she is going in the right direction. Everyone knows that a goal must be outlined with a step by step "action plan" to make sure the person is on the right track, and this is the crucial role that a tennis training schedule plays.

$500 Bank Deposited To Start Our Tennis Trading Venture


Our tennis trading venture is ready to start. $500 have just been deposited in our Betfair account. Funds will be used for trading ATP and WTA tennis matches for profits. Our plan is to update our readers, daily, or as often as a new trade has been performed. We will print-screen for you all our trades, no matter if they are profits or losses. This way you will be permanently updated with our progress.
Once again I want to emphasize that here at LiveTennisTrading.com we are aiming to focus on pure tennis trading and not on tennis betting. This means that we will engage in trades using indicator values such as weight of money and different graphs. We do not rely on other common trading strategies such as 0-40 or 15-40 strategies because those are gambling entry points in our point of view and do not qualify as pure tennis trading tips.

Finding Opportunities When Tennis Trading


Are you new here? Make sure you Subscribe To Sports Trading Life for more FREE Betfair tips, systems and strategy advice when it comes!

 When it comes to trading tennis on Betfair I often remind people that the best way to profit from these matches is not necessarily by using a standard strategy but actually by being able to improvise and have the skill set to take advantage of some of the incredibly unique opportunities that the markets can present to you.
When you trade tennis often you will see situations where a player is seriously not with it mentally or physically and the markets are either over-reacting or, sometimes, under-reacting to this.

This is where the opportunities usually lie and we had a great example of this yesterday.

Tennis Hedging Strategy


A couple of times over the past month, I've had a look at trading tennis matches in-play.

These matches generally have high liquidity, but can be very jumpy. I made small gains, but it's clear to me that in order to trade such markets successfully it's essential to have live pictures, or at a minimum, live scores. Even the official 'live scores' direct from the tournament website can be some minutes behind the play, making it very difficult.
This led me to think about an article I'd read some time ago by Peter Webb of Bet Angel fame. I don't have it to hand but, from memory, he was suggesting that, irrespective of your opening position at the start of the match, you can place a closing trade which will have a high probability of being matched - as long as you are not greedy.

Tennis Trading


Tennis is a very dynamic type of sports, so it is very suited for trading bets. In tennis points get scored after every few seconds and the ratio is changing constantly as well. The biggest changes in the ratio happen when a serve is broken or a set has been won. You can earn a lot of money when watching the game live and analysing the performance of the sportsmen if you have the right strategy and you have strong discipline.


The biggest mistake in tennis trading is not following the system and relying on the hope that the sportsman will regain the points needed and still win the game – this usually ends with significant losses. So, to become a winner, you have to be able to control yourself and your emotions.

Grand Theft Roto: Get ready to S.T.E.A.L.


For many of my formative fantasy years, I thought I was the only one who loved trading more than any other aspect of the game. I mean, drafts are fun, auctions are even better and winning is tremendous. But the moment of pulling off a deal and watching everyone else in the league react to the transaction e-mail with outrage and envy beats it all.

Like I said, I thought I was the only one, until I began writing Grand Theft Roto and started receiving e-mails like this.

"I am the greatest fantasy trader in the world! No one deals like me! I fall asleep at night trying to think of ways of turning Mark Buehrle into Max Scherzer. When a waitress offers me more coffee, I counter and get her to make it a latte and a free biscotti thrown in."

Football Trading


Football trading or football betting? Is there a difference, and if yes, then what is the difference?
I believe there is a difference. I also believe that there are many different variations of football trading.
For example I trade using a pre match trading method of my own. I have previously, and am again going to be trading using the Assured Soccer Profits football trading system as well. I’ve also known of others (and have tried it at times myself) who have traded by laying the draw, or have traded the Over/Under 2.5 goals market in running, or Over/Under 1.5 or 3.5 goals.

History of Sports Trading Cards


Sports trading cards may just be pieces of cardboard splashed with printed images of sports figures on one side and their profile and statistics on the other, but their history can be traced back over 120 years.  They have stood the test of time.

Sports trading cards were first produced and offered in the 1880's by tobacco manufacturers who would include them as a free accompaniment to purchasers of their products.  Gum and candy makers soon employed the same marketing strategy and by the 1930's, the collecting of trading cards, along with other sports memorabilia, was rather commonplace.
