    @Ryan

    I changed my mind i am going pro with realistic plans and looking at this pragmatic solution

    In Sweden, gambling companies must apply for a license to operate and pay tax
    So is not 100% that Betfair and Smarkets will always be around

    But I don't see an obstacle I know a solution (mindset)
    Search laws and I am free to buy a studio with 1 room and kitchen for as low as 20,000 and above in Middlesbrough then I can get my address with name and ID number and get a skilled citizen agreement with my own UK bank account.

    That is realistic to get access to matchbook and betdaq and betfair and smarket and use an apartment for pending between Sweden and UK
    When not traveling I use VPN from home

    So going pro and making 20/30,000 a year that is a pretty safe investment and solution to secure long term relations to always have access to exchanges

    That is my new plan and strategic

    Have a nice daythumbnail_IMG_0226.jpg

    @Paschal-Troy what's your overall strike rate and how many results have you recorded? If your average lay odds are 4.5, then your average loss is going to be -3.5 points. If you've got a strike rate of 80% or higher then you'll make money long-term - BUT you will lose 2 or 3 trades in a row, regularly, which can be hard to swallow. Got to just do what suits you best and always, always, ALWAYS focus on the long game.

    @Julian-Drake-Clarke only strategy videos where the strategies are lays. I guess you would want to look for horses who are slow and don't come back from behind much in the filters then test it for that specific idea.

    Do it @Ryan, I feel comfortable with my transition into this even though I have very little to no experience at all but the discipline I learnt from matched betting and a bank that hasn't come from any of my own personal income makes it easier for me to give trading a go, move away from matched betting and give it my full attention now.
