Opportunities

25/06/2010 | By More

Opportunities are everywhere if you keep your eyes open. I feel I should always be constantly prodding the market to see if I can find new ones. Wimbledon this week has thrown up many, many opportunities but the pleasing thing is that I have found loads of new ones.

When the Isner/Mahut match was drawn at 59-59 I knew I had to do some work to find a way of profiting from the resumption. I’d fiddled around the edges on the day but not with any real intent. That evening I fired up Tennis Trader, worked through some simple scenario’s and put them to use the next day. I had one of those ‘doh!’ moments when I realised initially had missed a pretty obvious opportunity.

Again today, Isner is out on court. I was surprised to see him priced around evens after his efforts in that record breaking match. I just couldn’t see that this was a realistic price and it was quickly apparent that was the case. Opportunities are everywhere if you look. Next one is probably coming up in the North Korea vs Ivory coast match looking at the market.

Keep focused and they will shine out.
