What does Excel provide that Guardian does not?
Allows you to build your own VBA/Macros to analyse the data before placing trades.

I suspect a good approach could be to wait to see a dog with at least £1,000 matched between odds of say 2 and 4 with a two tick gap between the current back/lay price and then fill it. It could be that in a REAL mode market both would get matched securing a quick profit and then repeat down to 40 seconds or so before the scheduled start time. Don't think it would work in a TEST mode environment for obvious reasons.
Ye it's not the worst method. Trouble is a lot of other people will be trying to make market as well.
potentially, offer out beyond the gap; offset inside the margin... just a thought.

Wouldn't that mean you would need a rough idea of which way the odds are going ?

tbh - from my (limited) experience, the best returns have come from initial bets placed outside the spread with offsets contained inside the spread. as i said, LIMITED!!

Why not save yourself the hassle of posting daily p&l shots and post up the last three month one instead.

How come your to date is 2 minutes ahead of the time you ran the report 17:37, Memphis? Those times get set when you enter the page so can be behind the time you ran the request but not before, maybe you just use a different browser ;)

I think people should fake a really really bad p&l maybe -£10,000 over 3 months, make out you've done all these courses & do 10hrs a day researching. people will be far more likely to help :twisted: . I reckon you could get a massive thread going #contrarian

Being egotistical (i.e. posting flashy screens) will just p1$$ 99% of people right off - even if they are genuine.

& if you start struggling, no-one will be there at your side - because they'll just assume you're the finished article - which none of us are. Every trader needs allies, & demonstrating how great you are, turns people right off. I know plenty of pro traders (bf & financial), never seen their p&l's - but I know they're masters at their craft & blow us mortals clear out the water.

Being humble & genuine is an edge that will reward you again & again

I thought ths thread was to get away from the p&l postings and get it back to discussion of trading the dogs, if it's going to slip back into a dubious p&l thread list it may as well be nipped in the bud. That said there's nothing to stop memphis posting his p&l on maybe a more appropriate thread of his own , they're probably just out of place here.
