Looks like summer is the hot period for me, even if it isn't for the weather in the UK. I've not really been aware of any seasonality before but I am sure now that summer is peak season for sports. Fairly obvious in hindsight really! That's a bit of bummer as I'll have to sit here instead of going down the beach. Not that you can at the moment anyhow.I was a bit lucky last week, with many things going my way and while the start of the week wasn't great it just all came together elsewhere. I am busy looking at some soccer strategies at the moment ready for the new season, not sure what I shall start on but there are plenty of opportunities. I had a good look at Tennis over the last two weeks but I think I have ruled it out for the moment. I can see plenty of opportunties there but they tend to occur at the same time as the racing and as I am pretty consistant at the racing, it doesn't seem sensible to stamp all over that for something I am not practiced at. If there are tournaments in a favourable time slot I may give it a go.

Keep going mate, excellent stuff! Just a couple of questions (you dont have to answer them if you dont want to) but what comission rate are you on and also, when you trade the greyhound markets, are they only the televised meetings? Thanks in advance.
Tout le monde Rodney, what a week! Congratulations. You must be very pleased with your progress. Never mind going to the beach, you can almost afford to have it brought to you!
I wish I had your ability to trade the horses so well during the day. The evenings are my best time (£140 in an hour last night before going out) and I can't seem to transfer that to the day. It may be because I trade while at work (Shhh!) on a rubbish computer, with too many distractions. Oh well, I live in hope.
Keep up the good work.
Hi,
Amazing amount, congrats. I'm a newbie to trading, so I'd greatly appreciate answering a few simple questions:
1) I was wondering what time you do your trades? E.g. 10mins before the off or leave it just 1-2 minutes before the off?
2) How do you workout which way the odds are going to change when there is lots of liquidity making it hard to predict? As I'm sure there is more to it than looking at the graph and weight of money %?
3) Lastly, do you use any of the automated features in BetAngel or do you just use the one click trade screen and "manually" select the odds?
Thanks!
"what comission rate are you on "
To be honest I never look at my comission rate. The system is geared against traders, which is fair enough, but I just never bother looking as its only has a small impact of my profits. I just pulled it up and I am on a 12% discount. So I saved £20 last week against a newbie on 5%, wow!
"greyhounds"
I only dabble on the televised events.
"what time you do your trades?"
I get involved in a market when the previous race is off. I'll sit and watch it a while before I decide what to do.
"How do you workout which way the odds are going to change "
You don't need to know which way the odds are going to make money, that's a common myth.
"any of the automated features in BetAngel"
I tend to use all bits of it. But mainly, charting, one click and ladder. Since Bet Angel released a new spreadsheet I've been messing around with that, but messing is the operative word!
Hi, I've just joined the ranks of your followers, congratulations on all your work and this nice blog.
I'm new to trading and running on losses already, practicing with minimum stakes. I'm curious about the answer you gave jack regarding odds movement. If you don't need to know which way the odds are going to move, how do you enter your trades? What is the technique or skill involved? Or is it totally unpredictable and we might just as well throw a coin, like one of the videos in the website of a betting software says (Bet Trader)?
Thanks and regards
JC
