@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

@martin-futter Thanks Martin, a useful article. I kind of realised this as I saw the red drift into the hundreds!! I'm only trading with very small stakes until I'm really confident with a strategy now and even then building up slowly.

@jim_saywer welcome Jim good to have you here, some essential reading for you (if you follow my advice you will never lose 50% of your bankroll on one trade!) https://betfairtradingcommunity.com/en/blog/bankroll-and-bet-staking

Hi all,
I joined a few weeks ago and wanted to introduce myself. I've looking at trading for a about 6 months after a working through match betting offers. Before then I'd never been into a bookies or even placed a bet so completely green to it all.I've mainly been trading tennis and after losing half my bank on Williams v Halep at Wimbledon (how did Williams not get a single break??) I've been reassessing my approach. I'm tending toward focusing more on automation rather then live trading as it seems to fit better with my intended life style with 2 young kids.
I'd like to develop some solid startegies with the help of BTC to generate a second income at take the pressure off from having to work for the man (Aerospace Engineering).
Cheers,
Jim -
