@gareth-lodwig Welcome to the group, great to have you here!
Do you think the you get uptight about it because when you flutter its more fun? This is more controlled fun?

I'm Gareth from South Wales
Trading wise I've trying to do it on & off on horses & football for a few years now without getting nowhere really. I've recently been using data & statistics but believe that is creating its own issues as I'm just getting overwhelmed with the amount of information and games. I've played around with few strategies' including automation on Bet Angel but as mentioned above not getting anywhere really . i think some of my issue recently is I've become uptight and petrified to loose trades on Betfair now. which seem strange because i still have a flutter now & again which i don't get as stressed out if that bet looses.
I'm currently an aircraft interior fitter and have been for 20+ years but recently have been informed that i am being made redundant. with this immanent situation it has made me more desperate (probably another negative and why im getting uptight) to become profitable as a trader. maybe or hopefully become part time or full time profitable trader.
I've joined BTC to hopefully get my confidence back and to interact with possible traders alike, gain some knowledge from more experienced traders, tips on how to plan a days trading . but most importantly to hopefully to generate steady profits -

I will always hold you in high esteem for that.

@james-rome That sounds a solid idea to me, they are both solid ways to trade.
-
I been doing mix of both. inplay been trading over o o.5 ht goals and pre game lay the draw on some, Ive had a look throught the guides again as had a bad yesterday lost some money so going to go back to basics use low stakes and focus on over 1.5 split stakes and lay the draw at ko & ht if drawing. high success rates and simple
-
@james-rome That depends on what you like to trade, what sports? Pre game or in play?
-
whats the main one should i focus on
-
@james-rome I'd say lets focus on getting you profitable instead of doubling a bank etc... that can come later worrying about money goals etc....
Like that you said you will use 2 - 5 to get confidence then scale it up as well, if you were using those stakes and was profitable then the bank was growing month on month the staking would grow with the bank.

@ryan-carruthers Hi sorry for the delay still getting use to this haha ...well atm my bank is around 250 so using small stakes around 2 to 5 to get use to things gain some comfidence in the system then look to scale up. i would say in the next 90days would like to double my bank not sure if thats unrealstic still learning so if it is let me know
