Learn how to use the race card to identify profitable races with this horse racing trading strategy.

This video explains how to analyse Betfair horse racing markets by scanning multiple races and identifying which ones are best to trade, especially using Bet Angel!

I show how to read market data and spot patterns that help make smarter trading decisions using the Betfair betting exchange.

You’ll see exactly how I grade each race by field size, class, volume and price profile, then match the right strategy – scalping, swing trading or stand-aside – before a single pound is staked.

ā±ļø Video chapters

00:00  Intro – why trade selection beats blanket trading
00:46  The three-step process for every trading day
02:30  Scanning the full card: easy vs. hard races
08:00 Looking at volume, jockeys and trainers
10:36 Understand how this is and isn't helpful

šŸš€ Key takeaways

Race profiling matters – field size, class and price shape dictate volatility.
Guardian is your radar – volume filters and jockey/trainer flags pinpoint live edges.
One size never fits all – scale stakes and tactics to the race, not the other way round.

Betting and trading involve risk. Only stake money you can afford to lose and always trade responsibly.

Betfair Trading: How To Spot Big Market Opportunities Fast!

Bet Angel June 15th, 2025 08:00

In this video, Peter explains how stumbling across *The Making of an American Capitalist* in a Houston bookshop lit the fuse for a decades-long journey: buying a single Berkshire Hathaway share, meeting Warren Buffett in Omaha, and ultimately turning a modest outlay into a life-changing profit.

What you’ll learn

* How to cultivate an ā€œopportunity radarā€
* The core principles of why Warren Buffett’s compounding is king
* Real-world examples of side hustles, career pivots and calculated risks
* Why mindset, not starting capital, is the biggest differentiator in long-term success

00:00 – The $27.50 book that started it all
00:30 - Speaking to Warren Buffett
00:52 - Opportunities are everywhere, and so are problems
02:58 - Business failure and going back to a 'normal' job
04:56 - Heading to the USA for the first time for my job
06:46 - How reading a book changed my perspective on investing
09:15 - Bloomberg Radio Interview
09:50 - Breaking out of a normal career to work for myself
11:45 - Closing excerpt of Radio Interview
12:33 - How compounded growth can produce exceptional returns

The $30 Book That Snowballed Into Nearly $1 Million Of Profit

Bet Angel May 4th, 2025 08:00

In this video I show you exactly how I bagged almost Ā£3Ā 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 BetĀ 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 ā€˜Lay’ and when to scratch for minimum risk.

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

Chapters

00:33 - Loading all markets into Guardian
01:22 - Flat vs jumps life‑cycles & why it matters
03:54 -  Maiden vs novice vs handicap – quick ID guide
07:15 - The simple trick to flag unraced horses fast
09:29 -  Volatility explained – why early‑season maidens move most
11:50 - The behaviour‑based lay trade
14:21 - Summary
