Just having a look at overnight stuff and can see the same thing. Aussie can't bet inplay though can they? Sort of pointless trading Tennis at that point.

This is a shame, Tomic really struggling.

I wouldn't necessarily read too much into Tomic having the trainer out.

I remember his 1st round match at Wimbledon with Sam Querrey last year - Tomic looked like he was dying in Set 4, the doctors and trainers were out giving him medication, even the undertakers were straightening their ties.

He came back and won!

Tomic retires after first set, so Nadal backers get paid out.

I seem to have successfully avoided the best trading matches so far!

I agree about liquidity in the night matches, some of it is very poor, its annoying that you find an edge in a match at 3 in the morning only to find 20k in the market after the 1st set, mind you i've enjoyed taking money off the market maker, its just you and them in some markets and you sit and watch them trying to hit your stop loss/take profit(if you have one), prices jumping all over the place to catch you out lol, its just you and me in here mate, now who's got the edge, who's stats and eyes are the sharpest? But to be fair in the streamed matches the liquidity is ok'ish, worth staying up all night for imo.

Also, keep watching out for those retirement's as the heat is going to continue and those players who played 5 sets or long 4 sets (even long 3 setters in the WTA) are going to be hit with accumulated fatigue harder than tose who had an easy win in the last round.

Stay sharp and good luck tonight to all who go foraging in the markets.

Murray returned to tennis in arse-kicking mood, thrashing his first round opponent in a one-sided encounter. Immediately steamed in from 16 >> 12 in the tournament winner market. Good stuff!

"22 year old man from the UK charged with courtside betting. The penalties for the offences are up to 10 years in jail."

Story seems to be covered by most the main stream press. Not sure I have seen it get this attention before.

That surely doesn't tell the whole story - it says he has been charged with corrupting a betting result, not simply illegal gambling

IMO courtsiders are no different to traders using a VPS connection, or all of us using API instead of BF website - we are all looking for an edge, and speed is a key aspect of that

However, this is not the same as corrupting a betting result

Check out this video to understand why the media and authorities in this country have no concept of the idea of sports trading or in play betting.

Yeah, that's an interesting angle - they are suggesting courtsiding is the first step towards influencing players etc

Also, interesting to see the guy worked for a UK company, who are worth $45M specialising in sports betting! It just shows what big hitters are lurking around the markets......they are worth nearly as much as Mr P Webb!! :D

The Aussie press don't seem to be able to read financial statements because it looks like that company is worth significantly less, around £25k. There is a company by the same name in Australia so I think they got them muddled up.

A part of me was really hoping someone would have come on the forum and said "guys you'll never guess what happened to me last night". :)

There is a fairly well know tennis trader who runs a blog who openly admitted trying out a bit of court siding at Queens this year.
