Paul from Geelong, Australia

Paul P

Who you are? Paul
Where you are from? Geelong in Australia (around 1 hour out of Melbourne)
What stage are you at in your trading journey? Pretty much just starting out.
What's your background? I have been punting on sports for around 20 years. The last 18 months I stumbled across matched betting which enabled me to build a respectable bankroll and learn a bit about trading and stats. However I lost over 50 accounts along the way and bookies no longer want my business or have severely limited my stakes. I have a data-driven engineering background currently working in automotive industry and I'm keen to apply my passion to learning the science of sports trading.
Why did you join BTC? To learn some alternate strategies to make money from sports. To be able to use my data driven statistical passion to help other derive an income from sports trading.
What do you hope to get from the community? Learn some things and help others learn some things
What are some of your trading goals? 1. Learn more about trading. 2. Build a portfolio of profitable strategies. 3. Scale and grow to enable me to replicate my income. 4. Help others reach their goals by sharing my knowledge.
