Hi Guys, 

I will keep this bit short and sweet, I looked through patternform and there seemed to be a lot of other good horses in the race and then the timeform comments made it seem like this horse wasn't going to cause too much concern so I placed a lay just before the off to go in play and profited. 

Hi Guys, 

The feedback this morning one of the members was new to trading and wanted to see how to use the stats so I knocked up a quick video showing you a live in play betfair trade and how I used the stats software to do it - there was a couple of games on at the time as well and I went on the stats software and then headed over to betfair to get some more football trading done. 

Thats the best thing about this betfair trading football software is that it is current and you can also save your filters so you can easily find this types of trades! 

I recently posted to the members about what blog posts that they would like to see and got some really good topics a few of them were more in-depth for a blog post and they might have to become little video mini series but this was one that I can turn into a blog post quite nicely: "How to trade around your lifestyle".

This latest cricketing showpiece is being hosted in a country that needs very little introducing to the world of cricket. The Indian culture has always had a love affair with bat and ball so logically to give this Cricket mad country the World Cup made sense to everyone.

1. Watch the markets

There are two schools of thought regarding volume of trades.  One ideology is that you should find an edge and hammer every possible bet that you see, an approach known as ‘Scatter-gun’. The other is that you choose quality over quantity and only trade a couple of markets per day, waiting for absolutely outstanding trading opportunities, a ‘Very Selective’ way to trade.
