@Victor-Flores Wicked! Thank you for joining, where did you first hear about us?
I am glad you are following what's been laid out that is key as it will get you using the software the best way.
-
@Victor-Flores great stuff, you have come in with a great attitude to it! Let me know how you get on and if you ever need any help, just message on here or message me.

@Ryan Evening everybody! Joined tonight, been matchbetting for a few months and can see that this isn't sustainable, long term. Saw a few trader videos and started trading a little with the pot I made from MB, but couldn't get a strategy that was consistent. I picked BTC because it seemed the most genuine and less moneygrabby than some of the others and I loved the look of the software. I'm from Colchester Essex. In the long term am looking to trade footy and Tennis. Am very motivated and am following everything as set out by admins and am just generally excited to be learning a new skill that will make me some money! All the best to everyone. Vic.

@Martin Yes please mate, I don’t know why I put my wife’s email address on there.
I tried to change username this morning but for whatever reason wasn’t accepting my password. The payments are going through her account but when setting it up I should have put my own email in as the payment email. 
It’s okay if you want to be ‘Pete’ some days and ‘Michelle’ on other days! We non-judgmental here

Hi my name is Pete. I’m from Pembrokeshire West Wales, but live in North Wales now with my wife. I’ve been tennis trading for just over a year now and want to add football to my sports trading list. I joined BTC for this reason and also because I’ve seen lots of good trading opportunities here by looking at YouTube posts. I’m primarily going to trade tennis as I have been doing for the last year while getting to grips with the footie trading here. I’m already in a good tennis community at tradeshark for the tennis and know there is also a great community here too. So I hope to learn a lot more from you more experienced traders and brainstorm together to create more profitable trades. My trading goal is to make a consistent part time income which I can build up over time. I like trail running and fitness which I feel helps me in my trading by keeping disciplined. Great to meet all of you and happy trading

Roughies always win in a small field
hang on you need to translate this for me
'Roughies always win in a small field' never heard that phrase before!
-
@Martin I am loving it I am purposely taking it slow and trying to get myself as trained up as possible.
But my mindset is definitely changing if I hear a statement in live sport ("Roughies always win in a small field") now I'm straight away thinking if that's true I could trade that haha. -
@Jonathan-McDaid great stuff I know we have chatted a bit on other threads, how are you finding it?

Hello Fellow Traders,
My name is Jonathan from Sydney Australia, I am a novice Betfair trader but an ok gambler with no discipline.
My work Background is construction management and I joined BTC (again) because I have had strategies that might be good but ill discipline probably hasn't given them a chance and I get banned from bookmakers.
I joined BTC years ago before the software and loved it but being Australia based I couldnt really put the work in that I wanted to learn but looking at the site now the focus is really training based and mentality based.
I hope to be able to gain a solid second income from trading but the thought of full time trading scares me a bit so at this time I'll be happy with just paying off bills and paying for the unnecessary wants like holidays and toys (I have many lol) If full time trading is something obtainable in the future I'll consider it. -
@Ryan said in Introduce Yourself to the Community:
Where did you learn about Betfair trading in general first?
Hey Ryan,
I cant actually remember where I heard about it first, but have been using bet fair for many years, mostly for betting, but then to try and bet and cash out, so kind of of trading but through guess work of my own basic knowledge
