Happy New Year to everyone, let's hope 2024 beats the last few years eh! Sorry for lack of emails recently. I don't have time to explain in detail now but a few health issues (nothing serious I am now told, thankfully) and some essential travels for family reasons have pushed site updates to the back […]

Hi folks, Well the new version of the UKFT website is finally live. Boy was that a bigger task than I ever could have imagined! As some of you spotted it went live around a week or so ago but the changeover caused a whole load of new problems and headaches. I'm working through those […]

Just a quickie post because I accidentally saw a calendar today and realised it's the 20th of bloody December! I'd like to say a big thanks to the many reader out there (and Betfair novices especially) for the encouraging emails and feedback I have received this year. The Pre Race trader's guide has made huge […]

I have received yet more great feedback on the content in my Pre Race trading pdf which, without wanting to sound arrogant, is kind of expected now as I really have received countless compliments and thankful emails since it was published. I have yet to receive a single complaint or even a remotely negative comment […]

The new website has been delayed slightly (more info in the next post) but I do plan to get it finished and live as soon as possible so that people can cram their knowledge as I think even the most basic Betfair trading could be a real life-saver for many in the coming global depression. […]

FAQs -  I have had a few good suggestions from regular readers about my plans for a new site, one of which is the sitewide/trading-wide FAQs page where many past questions have been answered by email and really should be published for everyone to benefit from. This is underway now and I am incorporating the […]

Well so far the summer has been very busy for me and I thought it's about time I posted an update, announce some plans for the UKFT website (maybe a whole new one!) I must say a big thank you to all those who have thanked/complimented me on the Pre-Race Trader's Bible which many have […]

Howdy all! I trust you're all queued up for your 'vaccine'! Best of luck with that! (A wry smile may be upon my face, I think those are still legal.) I am so pleased to see we have no recorded cases of flu this year, according to Public Health England. Of course that 'must' be […]

Morning all. Hope you've been to church on this sunny Sunday! 😀 A quick word about the peculiar footie of late, minus the crowds. I have had a few emails from people over the past week asking about stakes and how they are getting less predictable results from the stats etc. I have also had […]

A few people have contacted me recently asking for a bit of analysis of their football betting selections when laying the draw according to the strategy outlined in my football betting course. I will try and write more regular updates for footie stuff, I've got out of the habit with being so busy with things outside […]

Only a quick dabble this evening. I laid Aalen when 1-0 up against Munich 1860, two home goals in quick succession gave me a nice bit of green so I am using some of that to have a dabble on both the Roma and Nurnberg games, laying U2.5. Roma I am not so confident in […]

Well two goals to Hearts. I am greening, and then laying them, not heavily, but they are not "supposed" to win this game, so maybe some more green to come. Edit: For those of you who are trading, you will have spotted that a few seconds after I posted this (old habits die hard, typing […]

Trip out cancelled so I am sticking around to see what comes up. Well Duisburg scored again but I still made a decent profit as I laid again at 1.02 when it went 3-0, and I didn't green until 3-2. 1.02 is a nice price with 15-20 mins left of the game and the stats […]

Having a small (value) lay on Duisburg who are 2-0 up. Probabilities again, far from a sure winner, but I think the chances of Darmstadt are good enough for a lay at 1.16 I am out this evening so won't be trading any others

I thought now was as good a time as any to say it! I have just this minute finished the final polishing of the pre-race trading ebook. I have sent it to a couple of people who are proof reading the final (final final final) version for me before I publish it. In the mean […]

Just a quickie post as I have had quite a few requests for an update in the past few days. The pre-race course doubled again (in size), so I am flat out burning the midnight oil. I am literally doing nothing else except sleeping and eating. It's not far off now, but I do have […]

I have had a few comments recently regarding the concept of "Value" when trading on Betfair's exchange. I answered those queries but after responding to another one today I thought I would put up a quick post using my reply in case other readers are wondering about it too. Maybe it's just a coincidence or […]

Hi all, I had an email from a reader just as I was leaving the desk, so as I typed a reply I thought it would be better to put it here in case anyone else considered the same football match for laying the draw. Before I paste that, a quick word on the ebook […]

Here are a few picks for tomorrow, I didn't realise how long since I posted on here, funny how you get out of the habit of something and it's easy to forget about for a while! So, some footie picks which I just scanned very quickly before I crank up the pizza oven and start […]
