You can get the live xG in play on bookie sites like Bet365 for free

@Adam thanks very helpful

@Barry-Dewar Why do you think that is?

@Julian-Drake-Clarke only strategy videos where the strategies are lays. I guess you would want to look for horses who are slow and don't come back from behind much in the filters then test it for that specific idea.

@Mark-Maguire Ahaha you love the Waitrose!

@Andrea-Glassman Welcome to the group! 😄

@mark-pennicott welcome! great to have you here

Do it @Ryan, I feel comfortable with my transition into this even though I have very little to no experience at all but the discipline I learnt from matched betting and a bank that hasn't come from any of my own personal income makes it easier for me to give trading a go, move away from matched betting and give it my full attention now.

@Daniel-fox Welcome!

Great to have you here, Forest fan ey!

Nice that you already have a lot of experience in the crypto world, how long have you been trading in that world?

@Martin-Quinlan Wow big change much nicer pubs than the mucky duck then for you? 😉

I decided to take a little break from trading as had some things going on in my personal life. But now looking to get started again and want to do it properly - yourself and others helped me a lot and shared some great knowledge / experience so hoping that will help going forward no matter how crazy my questions were

@Chris-Brooks
Welcome Chris. Your'e in good company!

@Maximiliano-Garnero Welcome to the community matey, great to have you here 😄

@Simji I know what you mean about wondering if you still had your earlier banks. But you're right, just put it down to a learning experience. We all go through stages of taking big chunks out of the bank, especially when you're trying to grow it. The silver lining is that at least you did it when you're learning and not experiencing big downturns for the first time once you've told your boss to shove it and you needed that money to survive!

When it comes to discipline you have 2 options. 1 - get a bot to do it and just remove yourself. 2 - have a game plan and behave as though you were a bot. That means, if you've written out your rules you have to follow it.

If you're worried about losing and doubling down then that might be a sign you're overstaking? I think there's a Buddhist saying "the vase is already broken" so when the vase does break you don't get upset because you knew it could happen. You have to kind of be like that with trading. When you place a trade think "this trade has already lost" and if that makes you feel uncomfortable then you need to ask yourself why.

@Ben-Dobie Martin knows the best ones on that regard, lol you are still daft but one can dream?!

@simon-brooker Excellent write up! Welcome to the forum!

I love seeing posts like this as well, people prepared to get stuck in and write a post like this tend to do well.

Love that! Love the goals you have too, anything I can do to help you get there I will.

Anything I can be doing?

@Tom-Poole yeah great game but tbh you would have won it if Fields had made a throw near the end, 123 yards passing on 28 attempts in the end.

I don't trust Tua to stay healthy, I'm not even convinced about him as an elite QB even when healthy. Our big mistake was missing out on Herbert when Tua had so many injury question marks in the draft.

You must have loved Herbert at the Ducks then! I'm a big Herbert fan his style kind of reminds me of a young Marino, I have a soft spot for the Chargers so I hope they do well with him.

I mainly follow the Florida teams in college sports, Gators, FSU and Miami but also like Notre Dame. Actually going to a Notre Dame game in Ireland in a couple of months!

Tulane Green is random how did that come about?

@gary-wall yes yes yes!
