@Ryan been matched betting for 8 years and made quite a lot from it but I am interested in getting into football trading now. I saw a couple of youtube videos from yourselves and you sold it to me lol.

@Anthony-Daynes Perfect, haven't spoke with Mike in a long while I remember when he first started out in this world... god I've been around this world too long!

@Alex-Rendell said in Hi!:

@Alessandro-Imbrescia I personally think it matters less what you actually do in terms of staying in or trading out; the most important thing for me is staying consistent and adopting the same approach during every single trade.

priceless advice!

@LATUNER-Patrick Thank you!

@Martin it's more of a love hate relationship lol. At the moment it's a love relationship. That could change very quickly though haha.

@Gary-Parker hey buddy!

Welcome back, great to see you have some time and have come back to us 😄

its the fav player you should be laying in that situation, the thought here is that the price will be very close to the starting price yet they are having a really tough first set. Of course make sure you watch what the player is doing, make sure the underdog is really fired up etc...

@Ryan

Yes I’m tracking my result on the spreadsheet. Unfortunately the selections from the challenge had a goal before 15 mins. lol.

So hope this weekend I can start it.

@Petar-0 welcome! Great to have you here. Your translator seems to be working well. If you need help with anything feel free to ask me any questions 🙂

@Luke-Edward-Walker I sorted it this morning, let me know if you didn't get the email from me 🙂

@Adam Thank you very much for that explanation, makes far more sense now. I've been trying to build strategies as best I can and naturally to be as accurate as possible, but need to get the basics, right from the very start. Thank you again.

@Mark-Hewett Welcome!

Thank you for the great welcome post, we've put a lot of time into building this up over the years so great to see somebody appreciate it.

Happy to help where I can as well.

@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

@Steve-Smeaton what's your bankroll for those stakes? are you letting bets run or trading out?

here is the bfbm thread: https://forum.betfairtradingcommunity.com/topic/2915/bfbotmanager-automation-discussion

@James-Utterson great stuff really good to have you here! If you need help with anything let me know!

@Peter-Adams Great to have you here and get you on the way to becoming a trader, is there anything you are stuck with or don't understand?

I'll happily help.

@Simon-Cowling Top man, how are you getting on?

Is there anything we can be doing to make your time here a success?

@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.

@Joao-Sarmento you will want to use this thread then: https://forum.betfairtradingcommunity.com/topic/2915/bfbotmanager-automation-discussion/2

@Paul-Cole if you get stuck or need anymore help just let me know 🙂
