    @Ian-Thompson Always gentle with everybody here matey, this is a safe place.

    When it comes to these I always played the day and not the trade, so what I mean by that is that I would research the games for that day and then weigh up the other opportunities against these if these games were in my view a better opportunity then I would stick with them, if not then I would take the losses as usually it was minimal.

    @Wayne-Thomas said in Bet Angel Automation Thread:

    @tony-hastie I think you're right about the clear cut favourite at 75mins. I don't see this automation working consistently at 60 minutes.

    I have created one this afternoon that fired correctly on all the Championship games. The timings can be adjusted to suit your needs and don't forget to change the staking - it is set to £10 liability at the moment. Needs to be applied to the correct score market.

    It relies on weight of money conditions so may go awry if the liquidity is low. Best used on more high profile leagues for the moment. I'm planning on testing some smaller leagues later today.

    As always with automation, make sure to test with small stakes or better still in practice mode to make sure you're happy with how it performs. It has only had limited testing.

    Let me know how it goes.

    @Wayne-Thomas Im putting this bot back into production to lay HT score. Just wondering... if I only wanted to lay 0-0, 0-1, 1-0 or 1-1 would it be as simple as deleting all the other rules that arent those scores?

    I notice - that even pros have some degree of gap of knowledge 🙂

    I started building a long-term automated portfolio that will run on weekends.
    Will validate during a period, then when running full stake, I estimate around 500£ a month - as passive or hybrid - as it does require some morning routine to put in all selections to Fair'Bot - also take the spreadsheets in the late evening of the day's results.

    I skip the middle days with low action and concentrate on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

    Now I will mention some things about chaos and random bits that also apply to sports betting selections.
    Winners and losers come in chunks and we can not predict in which order they come.

    This means that you can pick only one day's results and gather 1000 placed bets total.
    Using one criterion and parameter for the specific game.
    Then those 1000 placed bets ( Results ) in the whole - will be the same as you collected 1000 placed bets every day continuously.

    The variance and the chunks of winning and losing bets will average and give a very similar overall performance - if not the same -

    Therefore I can concentrate on my automation on weekends.
    And make my trading during working days and weekends as I feel like.

    So my solution is the solution that suits me.
    Just wanted to give a basic lesson about randomness and chaos theory.

    Cheers Patrik

    @nick Do you mean the standard 2% commission? Yes they're definitely still charging that, this is specifically about the premium charge on top of that.

    @Adam Its just a question of holding your nerve during the "oh sh*t!" moments. I have almost conditioned myself not to keep watching it and just check before I go to bed. Certainly helped by having a good start...."it's not my money"

    I was recently looking into an NHL Ice Hockey game is Finland and the resale for £60 tickets was something like £1500. Thought I'm just better off spending a bit more and actually going to the US!

    @Martin said in NFL Strategies:

    @Mr-Emmet-Moorehouse I play a lot in the outrights markets with NFL as game to game can be very unpredictable set and forget.

    I like this idea though! Let me know how it gets on!

    It needs a bit of research but the basic idea seems reasonable. I'll come back to you after 25 results for an early update.

    @Martin I love it but I don't trade it at all sadly, I know that there used to be a cricket trader here who played around with it.

    Nothing for me though, it's also a sport that I just want to enjoy instead of looking for angles 😄

    Me and the wife love watching the darts at xmas lol

    @Mark-Maguire thanks for your informed response, the thing that's stuck in my head since I started all this was the advice on sticking to one strategy and learn the rules of that one before moving onto another, another thing I've learnt is recording absolutely everything, goals, times, ht/ft scores etc, like what you've mentioned in your reply, having all the info to read and looking over it to find patterns then trying to make my own strategy out of my findings, I have numerous spreadsheets of info I've collected from the preset filters, I need to keep on doing this for a bit longer to gather as much as I can then hopefully use it to my advantage .

    @Adam Thanks for sharing your story, I do fear that I will be just going through the motions before giving it all up to do this full time. Tbh, I think it's just a matter of time. There is so much more to explore 🙂 I will keep you posted.

    @james-everard said in pre season trading:

    Interesting for a potential accumulator if you can find a site that has Nat North , find hardly any betting sites go below the conference national which is a shame as i like my non league football. Had a look and can't find any sites

    Agreed! Some of the best opportunities for football in the non-league games. Paddy and Coral used to do it and there used to be some Irish bookies that offered them but I can't find them now.

    Odds are usually decent as well, faves pretty much always over 1.5 even though they generally win over 70% of the time.

    i think i did an accumulator last season with a bookies that went down to Conference South/North level but can''t find anyone this season .

    Will look at potential trading nearer to the season start (taking the advice as will know better once most of the transfers have occurred )

    I used to believe winning the battle each day was the key to being profitable with trading. Turns out you winning the long term war is far more important.

    @james-heathcote-0 Hi James. I came across your post about your automated pre-match scalping (2 years ago). Are you still implementing this? I would love to implement myself if you wouldn't mind sharing? does it take into account the weight of money or anything like that?

    @conor-medlyn Hey buddy,

    I will speak with Martin about this one as it's my strategy but I didn't track it on those sheets, Martin did.

    I have been running it since the start all those years ago 16/17 now, which is scary. It's always been profitable year on year for me hence why I still use it.

    It is a riskier long term strategy as the losses hurt more because of laying.
