Andy Murray blown a gasquet or: Trading on The French Open tennis - pay attention, it's started!

[Gordon McIvor Wilson]

Anyone attempting to trade on The French Open Tennis watching it "LIVE" on "Eurosport should check out this website immediately.
http://www.rolandgarros.com/en_FR/index.html

Click on live scores. Watch the tennis on Eurosport, and watch the
scoreboard for the same match on this website at the same time. You
will see the website scorline change seconds before the winning shot or
unforced error is made. It highlights the perils of betting on "live"
events in-running, especially when these events arre on "Eurosport".
This may be of interest to any members in general, not just those
trading on The French Open.

The next thing to check is see how the odds on BF change before the score does on Eurosport. Fairly obvious really.

Then check whether the odds on BF are changing before the scores on the
internet are changing. How "live" are the scores on the internet. There
surely has to be some delay. When matches are on Sky or BBC, the
internet scoreboard is rarely of any advantage. So check see if odds on
BF change b4 internet scoreboard. If they do anyone trading off
"Eurosport" must be getting seriously worried. One suspects some of
thier "live" pictures pre-date the second world war. Why are they all
using "Wooden Rackets", and who is this "Bjorn Borg" fellow. Live sport
my bottom. Takes the fun out of it for me.

So if the odds on BF are changing b4 the internet scoreboard, who has
the "edge". People playing "live" at the ground, or someone with access
to "live feeds". Either way I hope I have made the point that trading
off "Eurosport" is not an option. An incredibly quick way to the
poorhouse. As they say in "Poker Circles", if you cannot work out who
the mug is, it's you". Don't hold 'em, fold 'em and go to bed.

Now this is obviously a problem for the "betting exchanges" and for
"tennis traders", "sports traders", or traders in general, especially
anyone doing it "live" in-running. One could argue that the big betting
exchanges should not be taking in-running bets on events like "The
French Open", where the pictures are so far behind. It is "mugs
paradise". or should that be "trading hell". I don't want to go down
that route. It is up to the big "Betting Exchanges" to keep their own
"house" in order, and if they are happy to skim commission off such
events that is up to them. When we set up our own "Alternative Betting
Exchange" we will not be taking "in-running" bets on events covered by
"Eurosport". We want to become a "Punters Heaven", not a "Punters
Hell". We want to make the world a better place for "punters" and
everyone around the World. They say "never give a mug an even break".
Well that is my intention. Give the mug an even break. Let everyone
"play" on an "even-playing field". Pit your wits against your fellow
punters, and may the best person win, due to theiir time and effort
invested, and not because they are picking up pictures ten seconds
before the "average jo or joanna". Power to the People.

I'm not finished yet. Later in the week the BBC might start covering
the games, especially if "Murray" is involved. If you watch the games
on Terrestial rather than Digital, you are now in a position where you
should be close to an even playing field. If anyone by that point is
still trading off "Eurosport", I am afraid you will end up stealing
their money. If you cannot make money trading off BBC terrestial, then
it is time to get "seriously worried". One are you suited to "tennis
trading", and two if someone is beating BBC Terrestial then "Time
Travel" is possible.

I am not sure of time differences between BBCi and BBC Terrestial. BBCi
is BBC Interactive. Press the red button on Sky channel 101 to get
access. I have just done this and the Serena Willimas game is actually
"live" on channel one. The coverage has started already.

I could do some more "research". In fact I just have done . BBCi is
ahead of the internet scorebaord. Marginal but enough to warrant a
quick channel swap. When the matches go "live" on BBC terrestial you
should be kicking on "gas mark two". You stiill need to check whether
BF odds change b4 the score on BBC does, but even if they do you
can"milk" a few quid by picking up "bits and pieces" that the big
players leave behind. Of course i dissaprove of all this "cunnung
manipulation", but if you are going to play it is better to position
yourself as a "potential shrewdie" rather than a "potential mug".

Hope that has been of interest to some of you. ""Live and Learn", or pay the ultimate price along the way.

Bye for now. If this has been of interest let me know. I can probably
add to it, time permitting, or bring a few more "BF chestnuts out of
the woods".

Wow! He's won (Andy, that is, 6.45pm) what is it about British tennis players from Christine Truman onwards, to put us through this seasonal hell of nervous uncertainty? One did win, in the Queen's Jubilee year, cant remember her name (the winner, that is, I know who the Queen was/is, God bless Her!)
