Evening all. Just joined up a few days ago n been finding my way around n watching videos, listening to podcasts etc before introducing myself.
Who you are? Lee
Where you are from? Northumberland
What stage are you at in your trading journey? Newbie but very keen to learn.
What's your background? Tried matched betting in the past, wasn't for me when all the offers were for gaming rather than trading.
Why did you join BTC? Been listening to your podcasts, just came across them accidentally whilst looking for information and help to try and start trading. You guys come across very confident and sound really genuine so here I am, hoping to learn alot.
What do you hope to get from the community? Help, advice and tips on how to trade successfully starting from scratch.
What are some of your trading goals? Start small, hopefully make enough money initially to pay for my training/membership before moving up. Pick up lots of advice and knowledge to become a confident, successful trader.

@Adam Might sound like a bit of a basic newbie question but I'm trying to get my head round this and struggling. I totally understand the difference between Home and Away, but what's the difference between Overall, H2H Teams and H2H Overall.
My way of thinking is that Overall, is what's expected of a team in that league irrespective of the particular fixture.
H2H Teams being how the 2 particular teams in whatever fixture are expected to perform against each other.
H2H Overall meaning how each team is expected to perform compared to the rest of their league.
I'm guessing this isn't correct but I can't think of any other explanation. I would appreciate it if you could keep me right on this. Many thanks in advance.

@Lee-Greener That's brilliant to hear, thank you!

@Adam Thank you very much for such an in depth explanation. The example you gave me was exactly what I initially had in mind when I enquired about the average goals per league. I am still very new to Betfair Trading Community but am so impressed with the service you are providing. Thank you so much again.

@Lee-Greener When you click on a league in the fixtures list on the left, it shows you the league-level stats in the main window. For example, this is the goal times panel for the Premier League, which shows an average of 3.09 goals by full time:
In the filters, you can also compare stats to the same figure for the opposition OR the league they play in. For example, this filter specifies home goals scored per match > the league average:

@Lee-Greener I don't think so but I will tag @Adam just to double check

@Martin Hi Martin, thank you for your warm welcome, I'm really looking forward to working on some hopefully great strategies. I have been looking at and playing with the software and filters and think it's amazing. One question I have though, which isn't a biggie but would find it helpful.
Is there a way fo find out what the average goal rate is for a specific league, or Is there a way to find out if a team or fixture is more likely to score more than the average for that specific league. Like I say, not a big issue, a quick internet search can find out what the average goal rate is per league.

@Lee-Greener welcome great to have you here, I'm sure you will be busy with all the onboarding emails, if you need help with any of the training let me know.
