Indian Wells Mid Week

     Today I am very upset with myself. I had such a good start of the week and continued so well during the mid week to ruin most part of it in one day, in a couple of hours of greediness and inattention. Everythink was going to well, didn't had a red day in a couple of .... weeks, and I wanted more and more, got to greedy, that's probably the reason for my friday's night trading. In a way i am glad this happened, brought me  back with my feets to the ground. I am only going to talk about friday night matches:

    Gasquet vs Djokovic. It was clear to me who's going to be the winner of this match, but the starting price on Djokovic was way too low. Gasq. As soon as the djouet showed some good tennis this week, nice serving, impressive victory against Roddick in the previous round so i expected to put a fight here. Starting price on Djokovic was to low so I was waited for a better price. I soon as the djoker was broken i backed him greened after the first set.

     Wickmayer vs Bartoli. Situation here was kind of simple. It was a very one sided match and I was on the wrong side. Nevertheless i had the chance to make a nice profit in the beginning of the second set. Wickmayer broke first and if I would have exit the market at that point i could have ended with a decent profit, but noooooo ... I waited for the hold, Wickmayer didn't served bad in the first set, she started the set better this is the comeback moment.  It wasn't, the french broke back immediately and since that point she took the lead, never had the chance to make profit, just reduce my red.

     Federer vs Wawrinka. Why do I even bother to trade this match. It doesn't have any logic: Federer good form Wawrinka good form Federer wins, Federer good form Wawrinka bad form Federer wins, Federer bad form Wawrinka very good form Federer wins. Is it fear ? is it respect ? is it the game style ? I don't know what it is, but Wawrinka always playes so bad when hes facing Federer. (same siuation with Troicki and Djokovic). At least in the first matches Wawrinka was putting some fight, but in the recent matches it was all Federer. I layed Federer 2-0 at the beginning of the second set, and I had the chance to make a decent profit two times when Wawrinka was leading 1-0 and 2-1. But again I wanted more, and I was waiting for a 0-30 or 15-30 to get a better price which never happened. Recoverd a part of my stake as Wawrinka didn't showed any signs of comming back.

     And then after two mistakes in a row .... i had to make a third one. I was expecting Sharapova to make a good match, give some hard time to Wozniacki. But the match was scheduled too late and i didn't stayed up. What have I done ? placed a bet on Sharapova to recover today's losses. I'm not a trader anymore i became a gambler now ? I am glad because Sharapova lost, otherwise i probably would have made this mistake again. I knew this isn't the best way to recover the losses but had to be reminded. Lesson learned !
