My training experience

admin

On Monday 14th January I had an enjoyable training session with Dave. After assessing what stage I was at with my trading we worked on the aspects that would help me to improve my trading skills.

I know that Bet Angel is powerful trading software, but during the training I learnt how to utilize the software better and take greater advantage of the features offered.

We worked on the corr [...]

Do my eyes deceive me?

I had to laugh at the prices traded on Levantine in the 2:05 Newbury 29/12/07.

I had looked to oppose the favourite Helen's Vision as she was ludicrously priced after winning what I considered to be a pretty moderate affair. In that race she was given an easy lead and I felt certain she wouldn't be afforded that luxury today. The race was also won in a pretty slow time so for me theodds were cramped. As soon as she was taken on for the lead I could see that she was none too keen [...]

Training Day

Hi Dave,

I would like to take the time out to thank you for a really enjoyable day.

The day began with a discussion about the types of trades I could use to take full advantage of the market. We then went through many different methods live, which was invaluable as I could then see with my own eyes how I could implement these methods.

Although it was only a few days ago, I feel I learnt so much in such a short space of time about how to trade effectively and the th [...]

The problem of trading....

I left a well paid position to move into full time trading and many people were aghast at the decision. The guys I had been working with knew of the potential profit I could achieve because they had talked to me at length about the methodology. There were some people who couldn't understand it, especially those who had previously worked with me.

They were amazed that I had left a lofty position to ....................what exactly was I doing? [...]

Slain by an Angel!

GGOadmin

Angels aren't known for slaying but sometimes this particular Angel does just that!

If you look at the standard Betfair interface via Internet Explorer or Firefox then you are missing an awful lot. The refresh rate is excrutiatingly slow. You simply cannot trade efficiently because the price has long gone by the time you enter your trade and get it submitted.

On Thursday 29th NovemberI was making a small trade on Desert Star. Why? Well this horse was ridden by AP McCoy and ju [...]

A barge or a speedboat

GGOadmin

In the 2.05 Uttoxeter today there was a real drifter. Papillon de Iena went for a right walk in the market. It was as low as 7.5 early doors and even touched 20 pre-race.

It was the usual story of people jumping on the

bandwagon. If you're trading then it's great as you can jump on and then jump off when [...]

Join in and have your say...

The aim of this site is to build up a community of people who want to trade on Betfair. You might want to trade part time, you may have already started trading and just want some help? Who knows, we all want different things.

Perhaps you keep reading the market incorrectly? We all know that feeling - I know I suffered it often enough. You watch a horse drift like a barge and then as soon as

you place your trade it turns around and steams in. You're left with a liability and find [...]

Making a book with Bet Angel Pro

One of the best features available on Bet Angel Professional is the Bookmaking facility. When I first started out with the software I saw this in operation and I thought "What on earth is happening here?"
