$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.

 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.
