@martin Hey, thanks a lot! I have never been trading before, only betting and it's very different.
I trade on soccer now only. For now, I am trading only lay the draw, lay the draw at half time and over 1.5.For now, the success is limited, I am on a minus. I am also testing a lot of things out and playing for 1€ per bet. The reasons are sometimes I pick random games (beginner mistake xD), also I believe I cash out too early. Many games do not end in a draw and I could profit much more not cashing out immediately. So I either have to cash out partially in games where the favorite is leading for example or have a much better selection of games. Ideally both! I am learning a lot, seeing some patterns, relations of stats to bet results. It is really fun. Hope I can improve my results soon.
I listened to a couple of podcast series and find them very helpful. I have many ideas in my head and started to build my trading strategies. One of those is to filter games where U 8.5 corners are expected and wait for 10-15 minutes to be played. If two corners or more have been given, then back the U 9.5 corner market.
The same can be applied for the U 2.5 goals market. In a game where the U 2.5 goals result is likely and which saw for example 2 goals within 30 minutes, then I would back the U 3.5 goals market, possibly cashing out (at least partially at half-time, and maybe at minute 60). I am building filters for those games and will try them out! Will be very interesting to watch. I will share my results if promising.

Hello guys
Very happy to join your community! My name is Maciej (you can say Matteo or Satoshi, if easier).
I am from Poland but live in Malta.I love betting a lot, for many years already, my goal is to become a professional trader and make a living out of it.
I have been betting myself with success, but usually a little unstable, so still far from being able to make it my future. Betfair and the access to stats will hopefully help me.I made my first bet when I was 14, and since being a student I have bet frequently but also taking longer breaks in between.
I hope to get some good tips, strategies, and boost my performance. Also, I want to take a step into becoming a pro.I have some favorite strategies already, many ideas, and would like to polish them to make them more efficient.
Also, I do not know any strategies for tennis and basketball. Furthermore, the access to such a great choice of statistics is already worth joining.Let's hope for a great journey together!
Cheers

@kevyn-clark Rrrr yes the dreaded doom loop! I might do my next YouTube video on this!

@ryan Thank you, I think the cycle is caused by me getting frustrated when I get some bad trades, my discipline then goes out the window, and I chase those losses. They are caused I think by a combination of overtrading and getting into trades for the wrong reasons. I am hoping maybe being here is the start of a change for the better.

@kevyn-clark Welcome! Great to have you here, you are in the right place now I am sure.
Let's help you break the cycle. What do you think causing the cycle?

Hi Guys
My name is Kev, I am from Essex
I have been trading on and off for about 5 years with limited success, I started match betting originally and when that started to dry up I turned my focus to trading. Initially I started with horses trying to scalp the markets pre-race and in play back to lay but really struggled with it tbh, I moved over to football and had a bit more success mainly on the over 1.5 goals market but I found if I hit a losing patch my discipline would fail and i would chase losses etc and make rash trades out of frustration and then think this isn't for me, I can't make this profitable etc and then walk away for 6 months or so and then come back again rinse and repeat, I am hoping to try and break this cycle moving forward.
My background is that I work in IT
I joined BTC because I want to find a community where I can grow as a trader and interact with other like minded people and learn as much as I can.
I would really like to consitently make a profit from trading part time and maybe in the future make a full time career from it.
