Appreciate all the feedback!


Memphis lol cheers, I made around 6k matched betting and floated on this for 2 years trading with ups and downs. I've now put 4k away and and using 2 quid stakes until I'm in the right place.

Try and tone down the way you write. It can come across as aggressive.

[Kolop]

You earn so much that instead of chilling and enjoying your life your acting tough on forums. Hahahahaha.

Everyone's brave online aren't they?

Helpful and encouraging as always.

My view is that football markets are efficient for the most part, so you're unlikely to find an edge betting that way.

Glad I am nt a newbie on here its full of bullies and arrogant people who cliam to be raking in thousands a week ..I suggest they get off to the bahamas and leave newbies alone ..

That's the problem I'm afraid. Many of these forums have mug punters purporting to be experts, majority of them live in dingy flats , and have six quid to their name
Wouldn't it be great, just for 24 hours to see their profit and loss. That would be fun.....

Yep, after digging through 95% of this forum I've noticed a trend in egos.
I don't want to take anything away from the people who have made great threads and provided great answers but unfortunately, there seem to be some people who make so much that their only kick is to act super cool on threads titled Newbie.

We've all been newbies once! I made some shocking errors in my early days, and it's only due to my stubborness as an individual that I managed to stay with it. My advice is simple - you will make mistakes, but don't be put off by them, just analyse what you did wrong and make sure you don't replicate that next time. I used to make notes, lots of them - they helped hugely. This trading lark is difficult to succeed in, but it's especially difficult if you're constantly looking to be lead to pots of gold. To be successful, you need a certain amount of individual ideas, otherwise you'll never have an edge

"full"?

There's one or two who occasionally express things in less than diplomatic ways but the advice is often still valid. The vast majority are actually very patient and generous with their help. Like every other form of social media, just ignore the posts you don't like. Bottom line threedogs is that this isn't mumsnet, it's work, and like all work, not everyone in the office will be to your liking.

Perhaps you'll think this is arrogant too but I'm just trying to say that if you can turn the other cheek, then you won't find a better source of trading knowledge anywhere on the entire internet than this forum. I used to be sensitive about replies but the more I shook that off the more I learned.

It's also not entirely surprising that the trading scene has a few arrogant players. Spend time in any city dealing room and you'll have spent time with some of the biggest ****s on the planet. Sports trading is a kindergarten compared to that.

At the end of the day no one's giving away free lunches or has time to walk you to school, you'll just have to grow a thicker skin and start reading between the lines if you want to learn anything worthwhile. Most of the people giving away advice freely aren't giving away anything worthwhile anyway and are probably just as clueless as the newbies themselves

Why not have a look at whether, immediately after a goal, we get the following pattern.



I haven't got a clue how I'd exploit this (never looked in depth at a footy market), but I swear I've seen this pattern a lot - the market will undervalue a team who just conceded - for a very short time.

Here's the pattern in a game going on atm:
