What separates the winnings traders from the losing ones?

If you ask me what the number one thing that defines a good trader is (apart from discipline and bankroll management) I would say choosing good entry and exit points. It is almost an art form because hitting the perfect entry and exit point is near impossible. However, hitting ‘good’ and profitable ones is very achievable if you know what to look out for.

Hey everyone! Martin did an interview with David from Betcast this morning about his trading history/insight and the Betfair Trading Community site, well worth a listen!

Well what a day this has been! I was a bit nervous taking over the live chat from Ryan as he is such an exceptional talent but those nerves were settled when Man City won my first tip 2-0 at HT for a 50% ROI.
