Do any TGT members trade regularly?

Hi, im new here. Thought id say hello! Done a bit of match betting and experimenting with not laying the free bets which I think can be called trading? On the england game right now, not going so well, hoping for a goal or two!

Cheers

I think trading is more backing and laying as the game goes on, before/after things happen. Its variations on the same thing and semantics though. Not laying freebets will probably make slightly more profit (ceterus paribus) you will just have more variance and long streaks with no wins.

How did you get on in the England game? I was laying the leader so did OK but other than that my other trades were incredibly poor and I went into the game massively weighted on an England win. Overall I would have been just as well off not touching it I think. I will crack it one day though

Hey, yeah i decided to lay in the end. Could have got on at 12 but ended up at 17 once it was 2-1, so took a loss of about 60% :-(

How does laying the leader work? I experimented with trading the under 2.5 goals market a while ago, backing before the game and laying ten minutes in. Worked for about the first ten games, then I lost all the profit I'd made on the next one cos there was an early goal and I haven't got much to risk on this malarky at the moment so gave up after that! I know i should cut my losses but i always think the odds will fall.

Like the strategy though so might have another look at it.

Had a look online and found the answer! Also says that you can lay no next goal towards the end of the game, i assume as insurance. Has anyone done this?

There are a few variations of it, this was my thread about it:

I spent many hours trying to make money at trading the horses. Did my pieces everyday. What I have noticed is that all the "good traders" submit to a forum or blog, talking a lot but saying nothing,if that makes sense. PW sells Bet Angel so he would say you can make money trading. The Badger says the same and sells a manual for newbs. Adam Heathcote claims 150 to 300k a year but wants you to subscribe to his service for c£60? a month. Is there a pattern? I do know of one person that can make money trading and seems ethical but he now works in the city and has never sold or told anyone, including me. I suspect its taking small losses quickly and running your profits. Easier said than done.

To be fair, Adam heathcote was running his blog for over a year before him and Dave Raybould even thought about exchange secrets. It may seem strange that they expose such large earnings on the internet, but didn't we all think the same thing when we first came across MBing.

Hello, welcome to the site.

There is validity in questioning "if they can make so much, why tell others and help them?"

Although it sounds cynical to say such a thing, many of these people are 'online' (distant) characters to most people and anyone can say anything online for any reason.

And I think it's healthy to be able to question things because it stops you jumping into things. Of course, for those who are doing something honestly and who create a service honestly, being viewed with doubt might not seem fair but I'm pretty sure it's understandable to most people.

That said, and as you say, there is the fact that many people do something which is lucrative to them and then help others (free or otherwise). We know this is the case because many of us do it to some extent.

I have actually tried to contact Adam as we do a monthly interview with figures in gambling/gaming so possibly that might be something that goes ahead but maybe not.
