@Nikki-HALSALL I think this is such a crucial step once someone has a shortlist, I actually just recorded a podcast on this exact topic (releasing 2nd June), I think so many traders just trade their shortlist without doing that final research step!

Predict the Winners: Enter the 2025 Football Betting Challenge! :Monday's Lay Under 0.5 FHG:
Giving the MLS one more chance...
LA Galaxy v LA FC. 3.70
Result 1/1 wins= +£9.80
Running total = -£130.70Very annoyingly I actually had 3/3 today but was too busy and I forgot to add the Haifa and Liverpool matches to the line-up with the MLS game so I 'll have to suck it up! Shame, as it was starting to get me back in to more respectable territory

@Martin Looking good so far, another winner before halftime today.
The great thing is rather than just going "oh I have 5 matches today", it's making me look in detail and choosing which to trade and why.
It's really helping me through this early stage.
