In this video I show you exactly how I bagged almost £3 000 on the Grand National — and why that could be small change compared with the profits on offer in the next few weeks.

We’ll break down the flat‑season maiden & novice races that spark the wildest price swings on Betfair, and I’ll walk you through the exact pre‑race checks I run in Bet Angel Guardian to spot them.​​

What you’ll learn

Race‑card X‑ray – instantly spot maidens packed with unraced two‑year‑olds and know which ones to ignore.

Guardian set‑up – the custom columns I add (Days Since Last Run, age, form) for rapid filtering.

Behaviour edge – how bolting, reluctant, or over‑keen youngsters can turbo‑charge lay prices.

Timing the entry – when to click ‘Lay’ and when to scratch for minimum risk.

Real‑life examples – watch the ladder explode when the crowd gasps and the favourite misbehaves.

In this video, I provide an in-depth review of my trading performance at the Cheltenham Festival 2025. Cheltenham is always one of the highlights of the betting and trading year, filled with hype, expectation, and opportunity.

I share insights from my week at Cheltenham, including my strategies for navigating tricky market conditions, particularly the challenging first races of each day. You'll see how patience and careful market observation paid off, enabling me to achieve consistent results and ultimately win on every single race across the festival for the second consecutive year.

I also discuss why preview events often don't provide meaningful insights and how they can mislead rather than help bettors. Instead, I show you practical, straightforward trading techniques and highlight the importance of market psychology and risk management.

Notably, I reveal how this year's results confirm that you don't need overly complicated methods to succeed—sometimes simplicity is key, as shown by the impressive returns you would have gained from laying favourites throughout the festival.

Join me as I break down each day's highlights, challenges, and key learnings, concluding with thoughts on why Cheltenham remains the best trading event of the year and how consistent, disciplined trading continues to yield exceptional results.

In this video, I'll uncover the secrets behind successful Betfair trading at the Cheltenham Festival, revealing why this major racing event provides unique opportunities you won't see during regular meetings.

Many traders think that exceptional results require extraordinary techniques, but the reality is more straightforward than you might imagine. Cheltenham markets offer huge liquidity, often seeing millions traded per race, creating a clearer and slower-moving market. This gives traders crucial extra time to read order flows and market behaviour, significantly increasing the potential for profitable trades.

I'll walk you through how to spot profitable trades by observing market patterns, and managing your trades effectively. We'll explore:

- How Cheltenham's high liquidity and slower market movements help you achieve more consistent, profitable trades.
- Identifying when to adjust your strategy in response to market conditions.
- How to spot key trends and signals in market movements to guide your trades.
- Real-life examples and practical insights from trading during major events like Cheltenham, including special situations such as jockey/trainer combinations that can provide straightforward, high-reward opportunities.

Whether you're a seasoned trader looking to optimise your Cheltenham strategies or a beginner eager to understand how the pros capitalise on major racing events, this video gives you a clear, actionable insight into profitable Betfair trading.

Every now and then, I like to share insights from my journey in Betfair trading—where I’ve been, where I’m going, and the lessons I’ve learned along the way.

When I first started trading, my focus was on scaling up—how to increase stakes, grow profits, and reach higher levels of success. However, as I quickly discovered, using large stakes in sports trading isn’t always the best approach. In fact, it can work against you.

So, what’s the solution? 🤔 Instead of forcing bigger trades, I learned to trade smarter, spreading stakes across multiple markets and strategies.

This allowed me to scale without disrupting the market. However, there’s a catch—market volume and liquidity ultimately set limits on how much I can stake.

📉 The BIGGER Issue?

When you’re trading at the top level, you run into another problem. Betfair trading has natural limits unlike financial markets, where you can push millions through without a hitch.

That’s why I’ve had to invest much of what I’ve made into other assets. But don’t get me wrong—sports trading remains one of the highest-yielding activities I’ve ever done, and I have no plans to stop! But it does mean I need to spend more time managing other things.

00:00 - Introduction
00:44 - The problem with getting to a higher level of Betfair trading
02:49 - How to overcome the scaling problem with Betfair trading
04:45 - How liquidity and market volumes affect my trading
06:59 - How returns dictate how you use your money
10:46 - Compounding growth on financial markets
12:00 - What I'd like to do
12:52 - Summary

📊 What This Means for You:
✅ If you’re just starting out, this isn’t a problem—there’s still massive opportunity.
✅ If you’re scaling up, diversifying your strategies and markets is key.
✅ If you reach the highest level, you’ll need to think about what comes next.
