W20

Positive week but it should have been better. I had to take a quite big loss on Petkovic v. Bouchard yesterday. I simply underestimated how much the market loves the young Canadian. On paper they had similar form. Both were eliminated in the semis of the French. Petko had 3-0 HH going into the match. Bouchard slightly higher ranked and should be favored to win (she did in straights) but I surely did not have the market in the low to mid 1.40's. First odds from bookies opened at 1.53 which seemed low IMO. A lay bet at 1.55 was quickly taken and odds dropped down towards 1.50. When it broke under I thought - Well surely it can't go lower than this! This is a 1.60 favorite ffs! and I placed another lay bet at 1.49 which was also quickly taken and the market continued to go even lower. Bottomed out at 1.43-1.44  and then turned back up. I got out at 1.47 but lost over €12 on this market alone. Almost a full week's profits.

Still I got away with €8 for the week because of some Swedish football this afternoon. Not what I had hoped for but ok, it's another green week.
