Who are you-Kevin age 60yrs young

Stage at in Trading-Have been Trading on and off since Betfair started mainly for fun but would like to be able to be more disciplined in both Trading and Research
I am currently a HGV 1 driver but getting tired of 70+hrs a week so want to slow down and earn some money through Trading
I joined BTC the biggest thing for me was the software and community as you all know its good to talk to like minded people who understand what you go through
My Goal to become more disciplined in my Trading and improve my research. -
@james-everard welcome! yes we email out some potentially good football trades. in my experience of people who come from a betting background the biggest struggle they have is learning to evaluate and constantly check their trades in play. in general, they tend to punt more and let things run too long. my main advice would be to make sure you track your trades live to make sure what you thought would happen is happening, and if it isn't get out of the trade.

hi
New member here signed up yesterday. My names James from Chelmsford. I have come from a betting background and joined Betfair approx. 6 months ago. Have had enough of losing all my money and want to get serious and cut out the mistakes I keep on making probably from my betting background. I have watched lots of videos on utube and I am starting to understand trading a bit by bit. Any assistance or tips would be highly recommended. Do you email a daily list of potential tips daily or do you have to look up on the trading community ?

Hi All, just thought I would inroduce myself.
Who you are? – Leon
Where you are from? – Liverpool (The blue side though, I support Everton)
What stage are you at in your trading journey – I'm still at the early stages, I've used Betfair for over 10 years, mainly for gambling most recently BTTS betting but I always dipped in and out of laying and even trading but with no real game plan.
What's your background? – Accountancy
Why did you join BTC? – I would like to learn various trading techniques and decided to start testing the detailed football statistics to hopefully give me an edge.
What do you hope to get from the community? – I'm interested in what techniques other traders are using and how they interpret the statistics to make a profit. It will be nice to discuss how other members approach trades and learn as much as I can from them.
What are some of your trading goals? – I would love to do this as my main source of income but I know I'm still at the early stages of learning so my initial target will be £20-£50 profit per football match I trade. I'm also looking to learn scalping. I'm currently testing Geeks toy software so to become fluent with that would be great.
