@richard-fieldhouse Welcome to BTC, you're in a good place with lots of help at your finger tips. If you like doing the under 2.5 goal market check out Martin Futters "Unders Galore" filter... I haven't seriously traded it so can't vouch for its profitability.
There are plenty of other members filters available to you as well.
Piece of advice... Pick one you like the look of and paper trade it for a few games and see how you get on, if you fancy trading it, start as soon as there's a losing one and hopefully you'll start with plenty of green.
Best of luck!

Hello All,
My name is Richard. I have just joined the community. Five minutes ago.
I currently live in Rugby but am from the North West originally.What stage in my trading journey am I? Hmm the losing stage! Come from matched betting. Been attempting to trade for 1 month approx. Watching too many videos on youtube and attempting every one with bad results haha.
Currently undertaking a OU degree computing.The reason I joined? I would like to do this professionally, I imagine alot of people do. Always wanted to work from home.
I joined BTC specifically because of a video, again on youtube I was watching at dinner break today.
Top 5 Mistakes Betfair Traders with Small Bankrolls Make
By Martin Futter
I was impressed by the way he was describing the sense of community and the help offered here at BTC. Felt that that was what I needed and other sites had not emphasized this.
I hope to soak up as much knowledge as humanly possible, become profitable, improve my bank roll and in turn help others who join after me.
Trading goals, think i have mentioned these above.I do not watch sport for fun. Never have. I do understand football and have mostly been concentrating on that. Some of the fun with football so far have included-
Backing under 2.5 with £2 bets, making pennies! £50 goes on Boom! Goal!Correct score market 0-0 60th minute, 1 strike on target. Backed everything up to 2-2. Come back full time 2-3!
Everytime I have tried trading horses have been a disaster. Don't know what to look for. Big brown animals with small fellas in silks on them.
Anyway, hope you all have a profitable week, good luck.

I want to learn strategies that can return regular profit and get support on the right events and matches to focus on.
What do you hope to get from the community? Learn from others making the same mistakes as I am.
What are some of your trading goals? initially I just want to see that trading can make me a regular second income and hopefully one day a full time source of income. -

Hi All,
Who are you?
Sam HankinWhere are you from?
Grimsby (Lincolnshire)What stage are you at in your trading journey?
Right at the start, I only found out about sports trading at the start of October 2019, Ive already made a lot of mistakes by wanting to get involved in every game without doing research before hand ect. I have watched tons of videos on youtube and listened to the BTC podcast on my way to work and im slowly becoming more disciplined because of it.What's your background?
I'm currently an Aircraft TechnicianWhy did you join BTC?
I joined because I wanted to find a place to talk to other like minded people about trading, discuss new ideas and make use of all the stats and news available on BTC.What do you hope to get from the community?
I want to improve my trading techniques and meet like minded people along the way.What are some of your trading goals?
I'm starting with a fairly small bank and my aim is to build it up until I can match my monthly income from work with what I earn from trading.Another goal is to become more disciplined with trading and I think by researching good trades by using the software available will stop my jumping into dodgy trades or trading on Kazakhstan Division 2 with 0 liquidity just because its on.
Lets do this!

@alan-steward Welcome to the community, great to have you here buddy
-
@Martin-Futter OTBC... CTID!!!
-
@Ben-Jolley yes started off with UFT almost 2 years ago and it's an okay course... But, liabilities are big if you dont get the right selection.
That's where the Software Beast they've created here kicks in.
-
@alan-steward Did you do the Ben's UFT course? He does that fireball method? I was gonna do that course but thought it was too expensive. He is bloody good though. I choose to invest in these guys. The best thing ive ever done. You will learn so much and yes the stats software is unreal. Check the ratings bit as well and make a system that suits you, its worked for me. Start putting up your selections, I'm sure everyone will follow. People will help your strike rate as well. There are some great traders on here and it looks like you can be one of the pack. Welcome aboard.
-
@Ben-jolley cheers mate I normally do fhg, O1.5 goals using the old Fireball method & Correct Score dutching 1-3, 2-2 & 3-1.
That said they seem to keep things really simple here and clearly the stats software helps to do that... Its awesome!!!
-
@alan-steward 10 points profit a month is all you need. £20000 bank and you're laughing. I think your skills we be very much welcome here sir. You can probably make that 20 points following some of the pros here. I.E Keiths football selections and Martins horse selections. Good luck on your journey
