Wow interesting - just wondering if anyone would be able to give a few tips on the best source for live/in-play football data, and what the price would normally be? Is it only/normally available through providers such as https://www.stats.com/??

I noticed his bot made a loss for July, which is odd as it performed well the previous month, but I guess the leagues need to get started and settle down a little.

Think he mainly does manual trading that £65K isn't from his bot, still decent figures though, at least Betfair will have a decent xmas party with all our PC charges for doing f all

I'm pretty sure he said somewhere on twitter that 'scalpy' was being mothballed for now because he couldnt replicate the results and the system was starting to suffer losses.

Pretty sure the P&L he posted would be manual trading.

Very vague image, why is the date scrubbed out if it's the last 30? Old screenshot maybe?

The only footy trader I knew that was profitable to a decent amount was trading using fast pictures. I'm guessing that what Psychoff is doing. Probably not best to boast too much then.

Hi everybody,

I want to post an update for those who doesnt follow me on twitter.

Scalpy is still running but I have to say that I have mostly lost my excitement about the project. Its 3 months P&L is nearly zero just generating some commission for BF. Thanks for those who supported me from the beginning.

Best of luck as always;)

Welcome back, if there's one thing the forum could use more of it's definitely football traders.

Do you have any more plans for Discord groups like you did last summer for the World Cup? Didn't know you were covering it so missed out on all the fun.

Hi Psychoff
I saw your interview with Ben from Ultimate Football not long ago and found it very interesting...

Id like to ask you the following questions about Football Trading

1. Did you find it more lucrative with less risk to trade only in the 2nd halves of matches, if so why?

2. I have heard you only trade 2nd half so if theres a game you are excited about to trade what is your or your recommended liabilty odds that you wouldnt go above?

3. Do you "Always" view live pictures?...have you ever traded without them?

Thank you

1-2. Yes I prefer mostly seconds halves to trade as there is more liquidity, volatility and time decay in the last 30 mins. I dont have any strict rules while trading like odds, stakes etc. I can buy/sell any odds if I see any value.

3. My trading style needs watching the game. I havent tried trading without pics.
