@eamonn-hogan This is fantastic news
Great to see you enjoying your trading 
How do you find your HT LTD games? Is it from a fhg filter or you check for them manually?

Saturday 6th March 2021
I am now up to £10 a trade (1% of my bank). I started back with £200 in August . Things are going well and my head is in a great place. First week in March I am up up 10%
Just read through my whole blog since I started and really happy with where I am now as opposed to where I was at the start. I used to be a "gambler" but now I have no desire to have a bet. I am now a trader and loving what Im doing.
I would not have got to this position without all the comments that I received in this blog helping me along the way so thankyou all for that.
Today I have 4 selections on Stuarts LTD with the Arsenal, Leipzig, Southampton and Porto games.
Nothing on my LTD in half time market today
If still 0-0 at half time in the Stuttgart and Basel games I will lay the draw and take green after a goal.
I have also laid Rory McIlroy in the golf at 4.1. He is playing poorly lately and usually has a bad saturday.
Will start to post again more regularly to maintain the focus.
Good luck to everyone else.

Monthly check in for Feb.
After a slow start with my strategies it turned into a great month.
Currently Im doing Stuarts LTD and it was actually quite poor for me this month but after consulting with @Stuart-Capstick and @Matt-Wood I realised that for some unknown reason I had missed quite a few of which would have been winners.
My own strategy of laying the draw in the half time market was quite low also as opposed to January but still made a few points profit.
I have done a few trades in the unders again in which I back under 2.5 goals if an early goal has gone in from a game in which I didnt expect many goals. This brought up another few points. Again I was successful in the laying of the last round of the golf which brought in 11 points profit. A few other strategies which I was messing about with and nothing set in stone brought in a few points green.
All in all I made 18% this month which is a great return.The most important thing is I have not even contemplated going of track and am really focused on what I am doing. I have had red days yes even a few red weeks but I have now had 7 consecutive months green, never would I have thought that was possible. I am enjoying my trading and if you are happy with the strategy and are confident in them then it can be very enjoyable.
Many thanks to this group

After a slow start to the month and trying out a few new strategies I have never been in a better place with my trading. This has been the best I ever been mentally and I think it has finally set in.
I have 2 set and forget strategies which I set up the night before and they take care of themselves. One is @Stuart-Capstick LTD which is fantastic and has brought up 13 points with 2 more games remaining this evening.
Another set and forget is LTD in the half time market which has given me 8 points. I have a filter set up which gives me these games and by putting the trades on the night before helps me as Im very busy during the day at work. Having these as set and forgets takes out a lot of the mental side of trading as well as in when should I get in or out etc.
A couple of other strategies are my strong favourite strategy which isnt going as planned (7 trades this month with 5 losses) this has meant a red of 3 points. The LCS/LTD is hovering around 1 point green.My other sports of Golf and Cricket has brought up 3 points in the cricket laying the draw in the test matches and and 2.5 points in the golf laying someone I feel is too short going into the final round.
I know its a lot of strategies going against the grain of what people are saying but with having 2 set and forgets and my strong favourite has not got many selections as does my cricket or golf so I feel that the only strategy that I really need to use my own judgement is the LCS/LTD which I feel is ok.
So to summarise
Strong Fav -3
LCS/LTD +1
Stuarts LTD +13
HT LTD +8
GOLF/CRICKET +5TOTAL 24 POINTS GREEN.
this is great to hear!

Bloody darts!
I have a keen interest in darts but unfortuantly they are costing me. Too many swings in them and I cant learn my lesson. I then end up getting stuck in a position where Im losing no matter the outcome.
Ended up having only my 4th losing week last week in 4 months and it was because of the darts, also had an off day today with them. I know i shouldnt be on them, its now a case of turning betfair off when Im watching them.On a brighter note I ended up december in profit.
Results since August
August 31% profit
september 35 % profit
October 17% profit
November 18% profit
December 32 % profitMy target is 10-15 so im well ahead of where I want to be, just need to keep it simple as I was doing. AND STAY OFF THE DARTS

@eamonn-hogan fantastic to hear this bud

24th December
No trades today but had 11 yesterday.9 winning trades from the 11. 4 POINTS GREEN
Keeping it real simple and actually enjoying my trading at the moment. My only downfall is that I am doing more trades and not having time to record my results as such. Hoping in the new year to start updating the spreadsheet again with the actual trades.
From the start of December I am up 55 points and never once did I have any more than 4 points liability in the trade.
Just 3 months ago I was prepared and about to give up until Darri helped me with a few pointers like finding my own niche. I dont follow any filter, I just have my own 3 strategies that I am very happy with and hopefully this can continue. Anyone can do this if the mindset is right.
Anyway all the best everyone.
