I started trading with just £50 and was placing £2 - £5 bets. All you need to do is reduce your stakes and give yourself a bit more time to experiment and get to grips with trading.

Hi
Can anyone help me on this one? Are we able to green up on a potential profit on the free version of bet angel's 1 click screen? Also (this will totally reveal my lack of knowledge) am I completely thick - is anyone else experiencing difficulty trying to understand trading on the ladder when it's reversed? Any answers will be reverentially received -thanks

I have been scalping and learning for about three years and yes I make profit now but at first it was a long time before I made a profit so its really just learning and trying to improve bit by bit and it will eventually come to you but its very hard work learnign and takes a long time ..

Yes you can green up on the one-click using the basic version

This thread will explain the difference between reversed and normal odds display

I'm still taking my time to study and observe the market so that I don't make any tangible mistakes. I know mistakes help us to learn but I want to minimize it if I can... I need to equip myself with more training.

The unders price will drop not drift with no goals, if there is a goal the stop won't be matched as when market suspends the bet will be cancelled, the price will likely be a lot higher depending on how long into the game it is.

Depends if you still think your position represents value, if you layed him, and he's playing really badly and rarely makes comebacks, then why close?

Remember too that greening at a lower price will return more profit than greening at a higher price.

I'm on the ladder and lets state I should again first and later on to lay on the switch side, by the by exactly when my again bet is matched.Once I use Offset bet with greening when I set again bet, BA put another bet for me on the lay perspective even my money on the back won't be facilitated.
