  1. Re: Betfair Trading Good to see this thread gained a fair bit of attention! thanks to everyone who replied.

    Box3r, i've paid close attention to adam's blog, even to the point wer i'd read his posts more than once in hope of picking somethin up. One of my best mates from uni, his close set of mates from london has a lad who knows adam (one of those mate of a mate of a mate of a mate) and clarified he makes mega bucks doing this, but also said he is the most disciplined and organized lad you'll ever meet. i believe his profits to be true

    Twinny, may i ask how much you make/lose on trading? and details on your click stakes, how many times you enter/exit in a race and any other details relating to the way you trade? its hard to pick it up when you literally know nobody who trades apart people you meet online.

    Froment, fantasic posting on the two threads you copied up here, i'm definitely in stage 2 were i realise that i cant hand in my notice yet! but also realising that persistance is the key and i know i'll keep on trying, its a shame that i didn't find betfair trading during university as i'd have all the time in the world to practise then.

    Well a bit about myself, at the minute i'm attempting trading for the second time around. initially i thought "**** me loads of dosh, lets do the peter webb course then make millions" now i realise i couldnt be further from the truth. After loosing around 80% of my trades due to aimlessly clicking away, then wiping out my bank by failing to close position and going in-play i packed it in.

    Now i'm more disciplined, i'll trade a few evening races and afterwards what i do (very useful) is a write up "the good, the bad, next aim, final thought" which is sort of a self analysis of how a traded and certain mistakes/errors i made. I traded the guiness gold cup last nite and whilst eyeballing the second fave for 3 minutes in hope a one-click profit could be made, i missed denman drift form 2.54 to 2.84 and nearly kicked myself. but i kept my cool and jumped on when i saw in steam back in to 2.54.

    i learnt a lesson "the bad" in never focus away from the favourtie as that is wer the money is and also that i must close positions quicker.

    "the good" was keeping my cool and cathing onto the big swing which i made 11 ticks on.

    "next aim" would be to test solely trading on the favourite if he is close to being odds on fave as there is a possible big swing around the corner, possibly with no indication.

    "final thought" would be that maybe we need to always keep ourselves in a position to jump on any horse, meaning that closing your position is essential so that your always clear minded when looking at the other horses and not wasting your time waiting for a 1 tick when the horse next to you is giving a 11 tick swing.

    I think i could write all day about trades, also read all day about certain situations we've been through, the valuable experience we need to gain before our knowledge aids our patience, focus and ability. so i'll be keeping an eye on the page on a daily basis and look forward to tales of big losses/wins equally!

    How likely is it getting a betfair trading section created here? could a mod sort this out??

    best of luck with trading guys, good to speak with some traders!

  2. Is anyone on this site interested in trading on betfair? i think it'd be great to have a few threads were we can discuss what our methods are, and share our knowledge. If this has already been created then can somone post up a link? if not then how many people here actively trade on betfair?? Thanks
