Portsmouth v Barnsley looks like a good goal game today, should get a couple at least! (Cue the 0-0)
-
Annoying but still up overall!
-
@Martin Yup, it was going great guns for a while and I thought I had made it (not really!) but the results have been pretty weird recently, and the trades are not random leagues with no liquidity, they're all fairly big leagues. Oh well, onwards!

Anyone Lay Chesterfield last night!!!!!
losing 2-0 HT Finished 2-1
-
@Alastair-Todd been some odd results with second half goals recently I've noticed, could just be variance, still well up overall by looks of it
-
@Arran-Shackell back on recovery mode now - strats have had a bit of a boost and the deficit is slowly being chipped away at. - will probs mean a flat month as that was an insane down swing for me.
-
My SHG with 0-0 at HT has fallen off a cliff for some reason!
-
@andrew-page great points there!

I'm nearly 6 months into the community now, I'm happy with how far I've come and what I've learnt, I have my own profitable strategies, small profit, but profit I've achieved by what I've learnt and used to make my own, I'm way more comfortable with what I know now than when I first started, even going back and watching videos and completely understanding them, so my next thing I want to learn is how to find value trades, is there any videos on this where I could learn, my reasoning for it is obviously to profit more from it but also cos my strategy filter results, even though in profit, they churn out way too many results and I need to cull them to make my daily trading more manageable, I just need to spend less time sorting them all out, so trying to find ways of downscaling, any tips from anyone who's had to do this would be greatly appreciated.
can you price a book up on the match yourself??
reason i ask that until you can do that you will never know whats truly value
as for downscaling im in the train of thought dont mess with whats not broken one minor tweak can turn a profitable strategy a losing srategy however if you can break your results down by leagues drop the leagues your consistantly losing money on

@Martin what was the difference between lay away 1.0 and 2.0? i think im still using 2.0 but not sure, its the 2.0 version in the pro filters under lay away example? Im testing 3.0 as well which had a great weekend while 2.0 was tricky
1.0 is the one in the members filters.
2.0 has odds range and league filters,
3.0 has updated odds range and league filters. -

@Ryan, definitely patience, I've mentioned before I nearly gave up my subscription
after 2 months because I just couldn't get my head around it or the software, also the discipline of not making profit immediately, i was stupid to think that without any knowledge of what i was doing that i could make instant profit right away, month 5 was the first time I'd made profit to cover my subscription, I'm happy that I've managed get to the point of covering this while I carry on learning.
Off the cuff stupid trades too, seeing a strategy, trying it out with real money but without testing/trialing it first, burned my fingers quickly doing this, learnt the hard way lol.
Having lots of winning trades then looking for more, it's good when you're on a roll, but if you go looking for them you'll just lose more often than not, my discipline has taught me not to do this but to just stick to my filter results, there are trades every day on my filter results so I don't have to go looking for them, I guess it's a fear of missing out and what could've happened, but being strict and sticking to my plan is key to what I've achieved in the short time I've been here.
Your advice in one of your videos was to stick to just 1 strategy and make it work, I can't stress this to newbies how important this is, I tried several at once and it was a nightmare trying to record data for them all, just get comfortable with 1 then move on to others as you gain confidence in what you do, I've also learnt to look through my collected data, I can quickly see patterns of 2 maybe 3 other strategies within my original strategy, data collection is paramount to make this work for you.
I'm still guna be asking questions, it's how I'll carry this on and hopefully get better. -
@Simon-Bates What is it that you have learnt in those 6 months?

Leagues and odds ranges are where I start, especially the best odds range
