It seriously is about making the switch from gambler to trader and looking at the exchange as an exchange and marketplace instead of a sportsbook and then actually using the exchange to it's full capability which majority aren't doing

1. incredible amount of time/hard work , 2. need to be extremely disciplined.
You wont find many on here who have these qualities.

I remember a guy on here a few years back who used to scalp the under 2.5 goals markets but he would wait for a goal to be scored and then try to take advantage of the over reaction to a goal. Can't remember his name, some greek bloke. He then moved onto horse racing and again did very well but eventually quit once the premium charge kicked in.

yeah I'm worried about that but didn't they waiver it or something?

Yeah PC crazy.
Many times on here, people put up prices and I look at pinnie and its virtually the same.
ie Golden State B/fair 1.23 Pinnie 1.22

Betfair open that 1.97% of accounts in profit, so you know for a fact, 98% forumites are bust.

obviously the figures are wrong and 98% of the accounts are in profit and 2% aren't Confused

Personally, I think this is brilliant if it can be nailed.
But Ive struck out on B/fair, and struck gold on a/caps.
GL dime, and hopefully 1 or 2 follow and can turn their fortunes around.

I don't want people to follow my bets they are not tips just merely a demonstration of scalping certain markets and getting some awareness out that the exchange can be used in a better way but yes if it helps some people then that's good

You know if you guys would just be happy with a profit everyday no matter what % then that's easy as pie I just thought 10% was achievable and it's an expectation I feel I can meet so I'll go for that.


10 % is not achievable long term 10% is absolute nuts. Only an amature could suggest such ludicrous claims. You could be a millionaire within a month @ 10 % per day.

Correct buddy, very very few have the discipline needed to be successful. The discipline needed is bordering on insane.

not a sustainable strategy. look at the current Chile D1 match for an example of how you can get nailed trying to implement this strategy.

Correct. 10% per day is ridiculous. You double your money in 9 days. And multiply it by 100 in just 50 days.

unless a 2nd goal goes in within 5 minutes of the 1st then your looking at a very small loss on that trade... and those goals were after a red card and spread apart long enough you wouldn't have been stung.

Dimebar with all these ideas and claims you make why aren't you making money?
By:
dimebar8
When: 03 Nov 15 00:35
and the point of the trade was the first 5 to 10 minutes of the game where that wasn't likely to happen, you always just generalise the overall match when this is about the micro monents and ticks... that's the part your missing... the opening post bets showing single 10 tick trades was to keep the idea simple to begin with... you get in and out for small ticks.

mega who says i'm not making money and why i'm sharing this with you... go do some research on scalping instead of thinking you know everything

Wise words from wisewords. The skill in such a scalping strategy isn't the winning, it's avoiding the losing. Or at least reducing the impact of the losses that any strategy will inevitably come across.

dime, so matches don't exist when it's 2-1 after 15 minutes? I think you'll find they do. like I say, post some of these bets as they're happening real time and you'll soon find a time you're ruthlessly caught out and suffer a major setback.

aggressivity is a sign that you're in denial. the only way you can make scalping like this work long term is to have consistently faster pictures than the majority of market players

The figures in the OP are just a couple of examples. Anyone can find a couple of examples.

However, I think your strategy is more than possible, but you're hardly posting anything groundbreaking. Scalping has been around since BF started. Your 10% per day figure though is simply unachievable for anything more than very short term. Principally because you will hit setbacks at some regular interval.

yes they can but i did those in real time and sorry if you don't believe it but that's not my problem
