Unlock the real power of charting in Betfair trading and discover how to read market movements like a pro. Whether you're completely new to sports trading or you've stared at charts wondering what they really mean, this video breaks everything down in a clear, practical way.

Many bettors think charts are just β€œsquiggly lines,” but in reality they reveal *powerful clues* about order flow, momentum, volatility and where the price is likely to move next β€” especially in pre-off horse racing markets.

In this video, Peter explains:

🎯 **What charts actually show** β€” and what they *don’t*
🎯 Why Betfair charts changed in 2025 and how that affects analysis
🎯 How advanced charting in Bet Angel lets you create your own custom indicators
🎯 How to spot major signals like volume spikes, order flow patterns and volatility envelopes
🎯 Why a financial-style approach won’t work in sports markets
🎯 How to combine chart reading with the ladder interface for accurate entry/exit decisions
🎯 Why certain races produce clearer, more reliable charts
🎯 When *not* to trade because the chart is giving you nothing useful

You’ll learn how to identify:

πŸ“ˆ **Strong backing activity**
πŸ“‰ **Aggressive laying pressure**
πŸ” **Flatlining price behaviour that reveals unfilled orders**
⚑ **Market conditions where charts become more effective**
❌ **Situations where charting offers little or no edge**

This is charting explained through real market logic, not superstition, indicators, or financial tools that don’t translate into Betfair’s fixed-end sports markets.

If you want to understand what’s really happening inside the market β€” and how experienced traders anticipate price moves β€” this video will give you the foundation you need.

I Built My Dream Man Cave With a Secret Betting Device!

Bet Angel October 6th, 2025 15:23

For over two decades, I've done a lot of trading. Most of this has been behind my desk, but I've always enjoyed travelling and mixing the two seemed quite natural.

I’ve traded from aeroplanes, beaches, mountains, hotel lobbies, and even 30,000 feet in the air. In this video, I’ll share how my trading setup evolved from a converted garage to a fully mobile workstation β€” and how modern tech like Starlink and VPS servers make it possible to trade safely and consistently from almost anywhere.

πŸ‘‰ You’ll discover:

* My very first Betfair trading setup (it wasn’t glamorous!)
* The challenges of trading remotely in the early days and how I overcame them
* How Airbnb, live streaming, and portable tech transformed trading on the move
* Why Starlink is a game-changer for remote traders
* The truth about trading remotely(and why you need confidence at a desk first)

Whether you dream of travelling the world while trading or simply want the flexibility to step away from your desk, this video will show you what’s possible β€” and how you can get there too.

πŸ“Œ Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and hit the bell for more insights into Betfair trading strategies, technology, and freedom.

00:00 – Introduction: Trading on the move
00:45 – My early set-up in a half converted garage
01:20 - My dedicated trading room
01:48 – Early struggles with hotel Wi-Fi & satellite dishes
04:12 – A typical traveling trader set-up
04:49 – Life at 10,000 feet: Trading with 4G
05:10 – Using Bet Angel via a Starlink Connection
07:30 – The VPS solution: Reliable remote trading
08:55 – Trading from a plane (yes, really!)
09:23 – Key lesson: Why you must master trading at a desk first

A final note: always make sure you comply with local laws and specific account terms and conditions.

Travelling & Trading: How to Trade From Anywhere in the World 🌍✈️

Bet Angel August 31st, 2025 07:00

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.

⏱️ 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

πŸ”— Useful links & resources

πŸš€ 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.

⚠️ Disclaimer

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