Introduce Yourself to the Community

@Martin-Futter O nice! I was a county player throughout my teens. That all came to an end as a 17-year-old when I discovered Yates and Weatherspoons!! I don't live where I grew up, so I'm really keen to find a good local club (lockdown sort of put a hold on that).
Do you find your knowledge of the games helps you with trading?
My preference was to really focus on mastering tennis trading as I know the game, however from what I can see, most games tend to be throughout the day, and as I work full time my trading hours would really be evenings and weekends. I was thinking that maybe starting with football trading would be more suitable because of this.
Do you think this is right or would evening and weekend trading be possible for tennis on a regular basis? And do you think its wise to try to master one sport at a time?

Hi guys,
It's great to be here and I'm really excited to get stuck in!
Who you are? - Alex Adams
Where you are from? - Brighton
What stage are you at in your trading journey - Beginner
What's your background? - I love sports and used to play a reasonably high level of tennis. I've had some experience trading Forex and Horse Racing and love sports stats.
Why did you join BTC? - I've been researching sports trading for some time, learning the basics, watching lots of videos on youtube (some great, some terrible) and generally just soaking up as much info as possible. As much as my Forex and horse racing strategies are bringing in good results, I have much more interest in trading other sports. I'd like to take what I have learnt through my previous trading experience and use that to help me learn and become successful in trading in areas that I am more passionate about (mainly football and tennis). I was really enticed by the BTC training videos but also the genuine desire to support members to become great traders.
What do you hope to get from the community? - I'd like to watch, listen, and learn, from others. I also love stats, so I'm obviously excited to get familiar with the data available.
What are some of your trading goals? - Firstly, I'd like to complete as much of the training available as possible. I would then like to get to the point where I have my initial routine and selected starting strategies in place so that I can start to forward test. I know that when I get to this point I'll be feeling a lot more comfortable with the tools available and what criteria I am looking for. Longer-term, I hope to get to a point where I am bringing in additional income with an end goal of trading full time.
Welcome!
How high did you get to in tennis?
I'm a keen club player myself.

@anthony-renham Just picked your Q up matey, for some reason it didnt notify me of it but I've got it now and on it
-
@ryan-carruthers - really kind words Ryan thanks. I am always happy to give thoughts on horse racing and on racing stats software; keen to help and impart any worthwhile knowledge I may have! It would good to give something back as already in one day on here I have learnt a lot, been impressed with the tennis stats part (although have got a question or two about it so would be good to pointed to who to ask if that's ok). Life is all about give and take and this community seems to have got this spot on.

Just a tad! 2001 I wasn't old enough to gamble (13). Amazing to have somebody with your level of experience as well
we are working on horse racing stats software would be great to get your feedback on that. -
@ryan-carruthers thanks for reply. The original site I ran was www.drawn2win.co.uk which started in 2001 (which I guess is a bit before your time!) and then I ran a site called Punter Profits until about 7 years ago. I still write articles for a couple of websites and many moons ago (2002 from memory) wrote a book with Graham Wheldon and Andrew Mount published by Raceform. I'm very impressed with the site already.
