    Decided to keep track of my bets over the next few weeks to see if I can make any sort of profit from a €100 starting pot. Feel free to try the same in this thread if you want.

    First bets:

    Racing:
    Duke of Milan at Windsor 19.10 - In visors for the first time and has been making steady progress of late. Dascombe's stable is in real form at the minute so should be around 8/1 hopefully. Was 3rd behind Mountain Cat last time out who followed up with another win next time out.
    Selection: €10 E/W if 8/1 or over; €10 win if under.

    Tennis:
    Roddick, Ferrero and Karlovic treble - €5 for €17.57 profit.

    Balance: €100
    Less bets: €25
    New Balance: €75

    Bets for today:

    Stateside @ 9/4 - Hamilton 15.45
    Richie Fahey is in decent form at the minute and this is one of his best prospects today to pick up a win.
    €10 win

    Victoria Azarenka +3.5 games @ EVS vs Serena Williams
    Azarenka is in great form at present after knocking out Petrova in the last round. She has a decent head-to-head form against Williams (2-1 with one of those losses being a retirement).
    €10 win

    Balance C/D - €97.57
    Less bets: €20
    Total: €77.57

    Racing:

    Maoineach in the 7.30 at Fairyhouse @ 4-1 - Going against O'Brien's Heart Shaped but Maoineach was third in a good race last time out where the eventual winner was a 33-1 third behind Art Connosseuir on its next outing in a Grade 1.

    Few bets today:

    Tennis:
    Murray v Roddick - Match to go the five sets - Roddick is a big server and doesn't lose many service games, I think he'll bring Murray the distance in this one.
    €10 @ 11/4

    Racing:
    Tranquil Tiger (Sandown at 16.00) @ 3/1 - Have followed this horse for quite some time and got good rewards, so maybe its a sentimental bet but backing him to beat Halicarnassus again and topple favourite Confront.
    €8 win @ 3/1.

    Racing:
    Mdawee (Sandown 14.50) - To be placed - Won on his first outing for Tom Dascombe and is chosen by stable jockey Richard Kingscote ahead of Bramblebee. Richard Hannon's horse is favourite and looks the danger so I'm going for a place rather than a win bet.
    €10 @ 7/4 to be placed.
