Learning to trade tennis

[kelpie]

My advice would be

1) never mind who wins. Plan to profit regardless.

2) always have your next positions confirmed in mind once you place - denfence or more attack. never react in the heat

Hi Guys,

Im new to this forum and am looking for a highly successful one on one trading coach to get me going on trading tennis on betfair using betangel.

Im a former player and currently coach - I know the game, surfaces and the players pretty well but I do not know what to do from a trading perspective and looking for a trading coach.

Anyone know how and where to find one?

I don't chase big winnings on tennis, I simply bet on money line on who I think will win and always in small to medium stakes. Maybe I'll expand my knowledge with set betting and handicap but maybe not. i'm fine with small earnings as of now.

hi guys, I have a few questions about tennis trading and thought I would ask here rather than start a new thread.
I have been trying to lay at lowish odds as mentioned in this thread as when I get involved laying odds above 1.3 it normally ends in disaster.
My problem is I don't know when to exit my trade, sometimes I might think my position is not good so I would take a loss or small green, just to see the market drift right out, often it seems I am cutting my profits short and letting my losses run which is complete opposite of what I need to be doing.
Another thing would be in a match which has been swinging back and forth several times, but almost as soon as I enter the market its all one way traffic not in my favour.
So my questions are,
How do you know when to exit?

do you plan your exit when you enter the market?

do you have an amount of profit or number of ticks you are happy to green up at?

does it depend on how you think the match is going? this is how I'm trying it at the moment but I consistently wrong in my decisions.

thanks

Hello everyone. First time poster, so please be gentle!

I was just wondering if there's any decent websites that would give me a ball-by-ball account of what I'm betting on? I was told that Interwetten did have this service on their site, but can't find it.

Thought it might help me have more of a chance to see a potential exit point rather than using TV that can have a slight delay.......

Cheers

So, whoever wants to learn something about trading tennis, should watch Monte Carlo now..

The raw feeds are 6 seconds behind the big money. Probably TV broadcast is 10-12 seconds behind at least..

Literally, the orders which come with the button press of the Umpire is printing money.. It is a shame on ATP and whoever involved in this because it`s not a fair game

[spreadbetting]

I'd agree, 3virgul14, playing against the courtsiders is one hell of a hurdle to overcome with those delays. Obviously value comes and goes but when certain people have had 6 seconds to pick off any value and the only prices you can take are the dregs, you've got to be very good to consistently profit. Probably the main reason my bots outperform me is they watch the prices rather than the TV

[PeterLe]

6 Seconds for Raw feeds? That sounds a lot?
You get the same with the snooker too

[CaptainMak]

Just a quick question..

why is there a 5 second delay before my bet is placed on a inplay tennis match? does this mean offset bet with trailing stop is pretty much useless in tennis matches. Seems like the odds can jump back over any trailing stop you have in place.

any help be great thanks

Firstly, go to your Doctors & get an ECG test - You don't want to be trading Tennis with a weak heart!

It's very volatile, so Stewart is right, trading from point to point hoping for some good scalps is a white knuckle ride.

You need to have a good understanding of the players involved, current form, type of surface, and then make a judgement based on what you're watching

Once you've mastered Tennis trading, it's a tremendous earner

I know this is an old thread. But as I've decided to try my hand at trading some tennis, it seems like you're the goto man.
I've watched tennis ever since I can remember, not followed it religiously, but enough to know who some of the current top players are etc.

Other than form and surface (and also players form on each surface) are there any other areas I should look at?
I've been looking mainly at Women's tennis, as there seems to be more opportunities to make a few ticks off break of serve, which has paid off well the past two days.

Well , I may not be the authority . Even though the question is not directed to me, I will drop my 5 cents too on the matter.

One of the most important aspects is to be able to reach some information about how motivated the players are to go through in a tournament.. Is it a target match ? How many points to defend? Do they carry an injury or feel uncomfortable with personal problems?

If you are not possessing such information, I`m afraid its really depending on your luck and variance mostly..
