I've placed £1000 on Berdych to win this match, before it has begun ....
That would have brought me £200 of winnings.
However, because the 3rd set is so tight (at the moment Kevin Anderson is leading 6-5 in the 3rd set, and Tomas Berdych is going to serve to either force a tie break or lose the 3rd set) - I've decided during the 3rd set to hedge and bet £70 on Anderson as you can see in the following screenshot:
Basically
I spent £1070 in total.
If Berdych wins I get £1200, so that is £130 profit.
If Anderson wins I get £1190, so that is £120 profit.
This way I don't have to worry about if one of the players retire and the profit is secured ...
Do you think this was a good move or I should have left the bet on Berdych as is, without hedging on Anderson?!
Of course I prefer Berdych to win coz it's £10 more ... but you know... Tennis can be unpredictable, right?!
