    Absolutely do use 2FA on Betfair, if only because I believe they refuse to help you regarding stolen funds if you don't have it enabled.

    Do obviously use a secure password as well, which you could store in Bitwarden / 1Password etc if you like. And then definitely use a secure master password and 2FA on the password manager as well.

    Would be good if Betfair enabled passkeys tbh.

    @alexander-hughes Thanks for this, I have used this a little while back up but I ended up using https://www.football-bet-data.com/history/ more often. I paid £9 though but I wanted the betfair odds, other leagues and their spreadsheet is slightly more user friendly. It's not free though.

    @Rudra-Radasandaran https://new.betfairtradingcommunity.com/ratings/?wdt_column_filter[1]=01/01/2024|04/01/2024

    You can get a few months here. It's not user friendly but if you change the start date in the url it goes back to July currently. (it takes a moment though so be patient)

    @Calin-Vochescu From my records which date back to July, think you should be looking at around 7.5% rather than your 10.

    @Terry-Heller thanks Terry, I'll definitely review this to see if I can spot patterns on losing runs. Had a half decent run over the past week or so and I've done ok today... hoping it was just a bad start to the month and it will even itself out.

    Thanks for reaching out, really appreciate the help on this!

    @Chris-King It was your original post about the inplay stats at HT that I found interesting but at the moment I only use filters to find selections and I trade those regardless assuming that I am at the computer to actually trade.

    There are more games where a goal comes too early than those where at least 1 lay is matched. I try to not let that bother me too much as they do show the selection was ok just that it wasn't at a suitable price.

    I did run a 100+ games on the odds simulator (it just supplies random games) and 80 minutes does seem to be a good spot to place a saver. The average price at 80 mins was 1.69. With those random games a lay of 0.5 goals at 80mins gave a 10% ROI.

    Anyhow the international break has given me time to do deeper dives into my spreadsheets and the more selective filter does seem far more profitable over fewer selections.

    The staking for 1.5 goals has a liability of £2.60 for a full loss.
    Using the 80 mins 0.5 goals saver will increase that to £3.29 for a full loss.

    @mark-pennicott could you put some percentages on these outcomes that you want adding? will be easier to make a filter for your requirements. Thanks

    @David-Mason unlucky David .. it happens, but what I can say is that being on this site is the best thing you could possibly do- if you are disciplined enough to watch the videos which you obviously are.. and learn some structures and systems - really important to also after going through all the learning materials - develop you own approach.. ask yourself what you want to trade and why .. and then test and test again ... you'll get it wrong a few times to start with - we all did.. but the generosity of the experts on here and the way the principles are protected by Ryan, Martin and Adam along with the wealth of information means it is ridiculously good value ..

    The basic rules - try a new strategy - lose, up stakes - lose, post a new strategy on here - lose... its sods law .. but it'll be worth it .. all the very best with your journey
