I was a layer and backer for the past four years and now i have changed
to trading,i dabbled with it before with trading out of bets to cover my
stake or get a bit of green on both sides..but i got bet angel the other day and
have had two full days trading horses on it,i am still getting used to it but
it,but i have come up with the opinion that you can with out a shadow of bets a doubt
make money by trading horses along with bet angel..please leave your opinion.

how many trades are you doing a day?
|
|
By:
Dont get me wrong i am getting a few trades against me but i expected it..i basically was on the whole day yesterday and today found leopardstown was a fair bit weeker...i should be rite in assuming that the markets liquidity will be weaker during the week i wasn't really counting how many trades i did but i will be from from now on..i have been laying low and backing high...what way are the markets for trading during the week?
|
|
By:
during the week its better to back low and then lay high
this helps to keep a nice balance |

As you've asked for opinions Jonooooo, mine is that you've got lucky on your first couple of days, and to proceed with caution because it's odds on that it won't continue to be so easy, but good luck I admire your enthusiasm.

By:
ACheers trevh.probably was a bit lucky but sure i going to plough ahead with the plan of trading and see where it goes.i say one thing that bet angel is a great invention...do you do any trading yourself?
|
|
By:
my opinion is that it's way too soon for you to have an opinion.
|
|
By:
Yes, all day every day lol, but only on football correct score markets, I never touch horses.
I started off using Bet Angel too, but then changed to Gruss as it suited my betting being able to have multiple markets open at once and change between them with just one click, and it's a fair price at only £6 a month compared to BA which was about £90 a quarter I think. |
|
By:
Yea. It is expensive but i just got it out of divilment because it will throw in the back or lay automatically.is there any other apps that will do that?What's gruss like?
|
|
By:
why not use geeks toy which is free and does as good a job as gruss
|
|
By:
hiya
read with the comments with interest one thing that puzzles is how does jonooooooo know that LMansini mum is in the shower ? |
|
By:
What other applications will do what bet angel do?eg(throw in your trade automatically)
|
|
By:
I think gruss does it, it's called 'tick offset' or something like that.
|

Cheers john...

tell us all how your life has changed
"i have come up with the opinion that you can without a shadow of a doubt make money by trading horses" we gota have dreams |
|
By:
jonooo,
You really need to create your own trading application using the Betfair API. |
|
By:
To add to the gruss 'tick offset'... it will automatically 'green up' when the price is matched. This is from memory, as I haven't used gruss for some time, since moving to The Toy [;)]

have you accounted for the premium charge that will be sprung on you??

By:
trading. has started to change my life aftes my third day at it.
Gosh. Just 3 days, eh to find the Holy Grail! Makes you want to weep. |
|
By:
Usually wouldn't tell people about what i do on betfair..as i said was just testing it out over the past Few days.started with a 300 bank on Saturday currently 443 in that bank now and didn't really have to many worries.so going to go along with that bank until aintree if it keeps that long.if does work out i will be making a larger lodgement..should be long enough to make an opinion on it.

You're either good at trading or you're not. Some people just have the knack of picking the right way the market will go most times going by trends, experience, weight of money (sometimes), the vibe, gut feeling, whatever - they've just got it.
If you've turned 300 into 443 in 3 days without going in running then congrats. I just hope no outages catches your underwears |
|
By:
What's your opinion on going in running?i heard it was to avoided at all costs?
|
|
By:
You are right. Don't go in running, Avoid it like the plague
|
|
By:
Do go in-running on football and tennis though.
|

I'm in Australia and we can't go in running on anything at all in any country except horse racing everywhere. FFS.
I'd love to go in running on Aussie rules footy |
|
By:
..Well i ain't going near in running at all.its hard not to leave it up when the trade goes against ya..but i was told to stay away from it under all circumstances..
|
|
By:
Don't let ego get in the way of your trading. If the market moves against you get out as quick as you can and red up and just move on to the next race. Going in play to "hopefully" get your money back is a recipe for disaster.
If you can master the fact that you are wrong, shake it off and move on, then you're on the right track. |

Report back when you've had a bad day or when you have laid a horse and BF goes down and the horse wins and wipes your bank out. Then it might really change your life.

Don't listen to Contrarian- he's just trying to sucker you in to take your money. Come and play on the horses, we're all lovely over there and will give you money whenever you ask for it. Just wait until you're absolutely definitely certain that you know what's going to win then pile on. I'll be there to lay you. I've got tonnes of money to spare because I part time as Contrarian's butler and I don't care about losing it. |
