Who are you? Richard Donohoe

What stage are you at in your trading journey? At the beginning really. Joined betfair about 6 months ago and have been trading off my phone with no automation. mostly laying the draw and trying to predict very late goals in games.
Whats your background? I am a heating engineer.
Why did you join BTC? Ive consumed lots of content on the internet and podcasts. This seemed like the best place for me to learn from other people willing to share there experience.
What do you hope to get from the community? To learn how to use the stats filters and improve my trading with the help of other members.
What are some of your trading goals? Researching sports and trying to predict what might happen is something I enjoy but I will admit the idea of making some money in my spare time is appealing.Thanks

What stage are you at in your trading journey? Dabbled a bit in last 6 months but more experience Matched Betting and Gambling

What do you hope to get from the community? To learn how to trade starting with small stakes and try and get a good foundation for trading in future. I hope to learn from experienced people and avoid common beginner mistakes
What are some of your trading goals? I spend a lot of time studying form, markets and matching bets. I would love to cut that time down and get more quality and less quantity. I hope to learn the basics and turn a good ROI

Wicked, what uni?
Ok, so the first place I would look to do is read through the tennis trading thread and see what others are doing and try to delvelop an understanding for what others are doing and go from there matey
I am always on that thread too and will answer and help. -
I currently trade tennis markets as I have a history in playing tennis as a sport so I understand that game quite well and what can Impact the game, however I feel that I am not confident in understanding what is a good entry point/exit point for trading these markets,
Also I am studying Architecture -

Hi guys, my names Ryan Millard, I'm 19 and currently a student,
Im extremely new to trading and want to try and do it as a hobby/side income while studying for abit of extra cash, so far I haven't had much success and lost about £100 so was just wondering what steps I should be taking to getting started and what market is good to trade ? -
@scott-kyle hahaha hopefully mate, he who dares and all that!

@chris-saville similar to me chris.. hopefully in a few years we will have made our millions

Who are you? Chris Saville
Where are you from? Bradford
What stage are you at in your trading journey? Complete nooby, not placed a single trade yet just been doing research, watching videos, reading books, watching odds during games looking at potential places to trade when I think a game is going to turn a certain way etc.
What's your background? Been matched betting for around two years, still do a bit of it but been gubbed on most accounts now and have been thinking of making the plunge into trading for a while. From my experience of matched betting on horses I felt like I was quite good at reading odds movements and very often scalped money by monitoring the odds changes.
Why did you join BTC? I think it was Can Berry who first made me aware of BTC although I can't remember exactly, it was a couple of months ago I first heard of it so have now decided to take the plunge after deciding this is really what I want to do.
What do you hope to get from the community? I want to learn learn learn, every single person on here will know more than me in most aspects of trading so what better place to learn from really.
What are some of your trading goals? The dream goal is to become a full time trader, however I know this will take a lot of work, patience and ability to adapt and learn. This is really what I want to do for a living, 34 years old and I'm doing a job I don't really enjoy and have zero passion about still, I even went part time a few years back as I couldn't do with a full week of it. So being able to trade full time and then have the potential to move to another country and do it there would be the ultimate. Definitely feel like I am ready to throw myself 100% at it as I have no other commitments in my life at the moment either.

@james-oldfield Welcome to the group buddy!
Glad to have you around here, hopefully we can help you with the trading and doing the research buddy
I think for me what works well is routine, I drop it in at the same sort of time my research, but with you being your own boss everyday will be different!

Who are you? James Oldfield
Where are you from? Essex
What stage are you at in your trading journey? Trading in spare time, learning as much as i can
What's your background? own a contract flooring company,Why did you join BTC? to learn as much as i can from the traders in BTC
What do you hope to get from the community? To learn from as much as possible and for a little bit of advice here and there
What are some of your trading goals?Sounds crazy but main thing is to only trade when i have done my homework, i am guilty of sometimes rushing into trades because of having a lack of time to check everything out properly. i am massively guilty of this as running my own business i am always busy and there is always something to do. this basically causes me to grab at trades.....frustrating!!!!
Welcome mate
I have a time problem with 3 young kids, but I've managed to create a bit more with the support of my wife. Want to go part time eventually but got a long road ahead. Evenings for me is great time as she's usually watching soaps and the kids are in bed!
Try to focus on one strategy, master it and move on from there. I really should listen to my own advice as I've got about 4 things on the go!
