One of the great privileges I have as someone who looks after a community of Betfair traders is that I get to see sports trading from all angles.
People of all ages (above 18!), shapes and sizes. From trading careers that are just starting out to professional traders that have mastered the Betfair exchange.
If you have been around Betfair trading on the Betfair exchange or even if you have just been a punter at a bookies, you will probably have heard someone talk about how their 'gut feeling' was the reason behind a trade or bet.
For those who are not aware, the definition of a 'gut feeling' is a feeling that someone has that seems to predict what will happen, not based on any actual logic.
One of the questions that I get asked as Professional Betfair Trader all the time is - What does the term 'points' mean when referring to people's trading results?
Betfair Exchange Traders will often say things like 'I made two points profit today' or 'I'm staking three points on this'.
Bankroll management is imperative if you want to become a profitable trader on the Betfair Exchange. Whether you are a football trader, horse racing trader or trade something else, one thing that decide your trading fate is how well you handle your money.
One question we get asked all the time is - What size should my bankroll be?
It has been another week of Convid 19 dominating the sports trading landscape, so let's not dwell too much on the virus. Those of you who read my thoughts regularly will know I am a huge advocate of turning your obstacles into opportunities and this is the perfect time to do that!
It makes sense for me to talk about Convid 19 this week as this is the height (I hope!) of the epidemic. I won't bore you with any detail about the virus as it relates to the news, you are probably sick to death of the updates.
Cornonavirus & Betfair Trading
How often do you feel down in the dumps when you lose a trade or have a bad run during a Betfair trading session? Do you feel like giving it up completely because it is so soul destroying?
As you will know if you have been a member of BTC we are big advocates of self-development and evaluation. We think it is an integral part of training to be a Professional Trader on Betfair and something that does not get enough focus elsewhere on the internet.
Self-development is an ongoing process and every trader on Betfair should be doing so regardless of their level of trading. We are of course academics of the Betfair Trading Academy!
How do goals effect the flow of a match? How do they impact our future trading on that event?
