On another note, anyone do any football/sports trading? Maybe there is another thread on this though i havent seen it. I dabbled in laying horses pre race though found that tough going, would maybe get 4/5 races in a row in profit then get that wiped out on one race and have to start all over. Had completed a couple of different online courses so had some knowledge, but either not enough or my dicispline wasnt there.
I know a few good (paid for) sites for live inplay stats for the footy that are well laid out and are a must have for anyone trading football matches in my opinion, ive been in and out of it for a few years and havent really been able to make any consistent profit from it but always get drawn back to it, think my issue is ill discipline (common theme) more than anything, more recently i have been tracking everything a lot more closely, sticking to set strategies/ inplay triggers etc and trying not to deviate from that and seeing some potential I think, would need a lot more matches though to test these on before knowing whats working and what isnt long term, I have 1 lay the draw strategy at the moment, I never lay above evens, and after 549 games its sitting at 53% win rate so that one for sure would be in profit, many times id be getting the lay on there a lot less than evens, sometimes even as low as 1.5. I havent been in all them games, been in very few of them to be fair, its more with the site im using, ive set up a few different strategies, and once the criteria has been met for any given strategy the bet is then recorded and it automatically records the result for you at the end of the game so you know if its won our lost, makes tracking things a lot easier especially for the lazy people like myself.
