Introduce Yourself to the Community

Afternoon,
I'm Paul, from a small ex-mining town that is affectionately known as the arse end of Wakefield (well, it is to me).
It's fair to say that I'm at the beginning of my trading journey, but have over 5 years experience matched betting. I joined BTC for two reasons. There are two reasons for my joining BTC - the software and the people. Without either of these I figure developing as a trader would be quite laborious and not as enjoyable. I've watched a couple of the youtube videos and liked what I saw so took the plunge with membership.
Before matched betting I had been in finance/IT for 17 years before being made redundant in 2017 which led me to matched betting. that was good whilst it lasted, but having been slapped with the gubstick by most bookies I went back into employment at the end of 2019 and am now in Town Planning.
Initially I'm hoping to get advice from the community, such as common mistakes to avoid and also a place to share the ups and downs of trading. There's not many people in my life who want to even try to understand what trading is so it will be a huge advantage to me to have somewhere to chat. What is of particular interest at the minute is bank building / bankroll management so that I can be in a position to start scaling my trading size when I'm confident with the strategies.
As I'm early in my trading journey, my initial goals are to develop as a football trader to begin with and then branch out into the other sports - tennis, cricket, horse racing. Ideally I want to be in a position where my salary from work isn't important, given the last couple of years it's really hit home how important multiple income streams are.

Hi Guys I'm Jonny
My whereabouts are just east of Carlisle ( not as far as Newcastle)
I'm thinking I'm around an intermediate as a trader. I did a 5/6 year stint in a betting shop nearly 15 years ago and have had a Betfair account longer than that so I've dabbled a fair bit. Currently though I'm an Extrusion moulder.
Joined BTC after stumbling onto the podcast on Amazon music and loved the content. I've been a member for a couple of weeks now and had a read of the forum and seems like a lot of helpful folks around.
Long term I'd love to be trading professionally though I've a distance to travel before that. I feel like I do quite well but I have spells of boredom that tend to help erode most of the good work I've just done. So any guidance will be greatly appreciated especially with regard to routine and time management.

@ryan met you on youtube, where you have a lot of interesting content, so I decided to sign up for BTC, where I would like to upgrade my trading and, above all, become a profitable sports investor. Thanks.

@gav-baines Welcome to BTC... Whereabouts are you in Spain?

Thanks @martin I’ll be following the set and forget testing with interest. Sunday was my first day trading (just using the daily email) and I was down slightly, so I was glad to hear it was commonly known as a slow weekend goals wise.
