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.
