Hi, I’m Chris. I’m excited to be here and have toyed with signing up for around 10 months. I’ve been learning to trade for around a year.
I’ve never been a gambler or bettor until first heard about sports exchanges 2-3 years ago when i took up matched betting as wanted a convenient way to earn money online at home to supplement my income. I’d heard a little about sports trading but it seemed pretty complicated to me at the time.
I enjoyed that at first and made about £1500 in profit but profits started to slow quickly after reaching that amount and the work/reward ratio was not something i enjoyed.
By then I’d discovered the world of how to make money online on YouTube and tried a number of different business models all with no success, but mainly due to lack of effort and enthusiasm on my part.
YouTube did draw my attention back to sports trading however and my familiarity with the exchanges got me considering trading. I watched, listened and read about it to learn as much as i could to feel confident enough to make a start.
BTC videos and especially the podcast have helped me more than any other source, in terms of what a person needs to do and think like to be a successful trader so i joined to learn more and improve and hopefully contribute in some way. Another major reason is to be part of a group of people who also trade as i know no one else who does this.
I haven’t made any profits from trading. I mainly trade small stakes and break even. I need to improve my consistency in discipline in terms of sticking to a profitable strategy so i plan to follow a couple of the members filters initially. I would like to create my own O1.5G strategy at some point and have a few ideas in mind for that.
My main goal would be to consistently supplement my income from trading firstly and then see how far i can scale it. I’d be lying if i said I didn’t want to trade for a living but I’d be extremely pleased to be making consistent profit at some level first. I enjoy trading and can’t see myself giving up until i can make it work in for me i some way.

@martin thank you! I’m looking forward to my time here. I actually got on the football stats last night and put an initial filter together and began paper trading it today.
It’d be great to share the concept and ideas about it and also get some top notch help here to improve it or establish if it’s actually worth doing.
Where would be the best place to post about this?
you could just use the main footy thread, esp as it's international break so will be quieter than usual

@chris-king No worries buddy, if you ever feel stuck or need a hand then just shout we shall be here.
No question is a daft one, we wanted this place to be a safe haven and anybody can ask their Q's

@ryan thanks for the welcome. Yes, the approach you take in your content is probably the most overlooked aspect when it comes to the other content out there. Mastering yourself in trading has to be the single most important aspect and key to success. You’re the only ones who focus on this.
I’ve been receiving the emails, thanks. Plenty of selections to get me started. i feel a bit like a kid in sweet shop!

@chris-king great to have you here, look forward to chatting in the threads and hearing more about your over 1.5 goals ideas!

Hey buddy,
Great that you are here, yes we love doing the podcasts and videos we take a different approach to the others who share strategies all the times we want to get you good at trading.
Have you seen the emails coming through? They’ll be there to help you build a strategy and great you’ve got some ideas, one of my most profitable strategies is in this market.
Here to help at any point if you need.
