My First Tennis Trading Entry – Parry vs Kostyuk

Match: Diane Parry vs Marta Kostyuk

Pre-match odds: Kostyuk 1.29 (clear favourite)

My reasoning:
Kostyuk was the favourite, but after losing the first set her odds moved above 2.0. I saw this as a good entry point, since favourites often fight back.

Action:

  • Backed Kostyuk when odds passed 2.0 in the second set.

  • Traded in and out as the set progressed.

Result:
Profit: +£1.03

Result: £1.18 Diallo vs Fritz – A £1 Trade That Could Have Gone Either Way For this match I placed a £1 bet on Fritz at 2.06 . Before the start, Fritz was the clear favorite with odds around 1.36, but after losing his serve and eventually the first set, the market drifted. I saw good value in backing him at that point. Fritz managed to win the second set and push it to a deciding third. By then, I was already thinking about whether I should trade out and protect my position. Normally, in a tiebreak situation, the odds can swing wildly with just one mini-break — so it’s often a good place to lock in some ...
