Young American obliges @ 50/1 for us

After some pretty awful tennis selections, a change of fortune as Sloane Stephens wins the second quarter by defeating her idol Serena Williams. It's only a 0.5pt staked bet but the 50/1 price given by Boylesports means a 25.5pt return to cover all the dross already down the pan.

Total stakes on the Australian Open to date have been 17 points. So a small profit on the tournament is guaranteed.

Of course I have also lost 4pts on the Serena calendar slam bet but if she misses one of the remaining three slams we get our money back! Perhaps she'll turn the game in now and just mentor the teenager?
