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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Small lay of under2.5 on Brentford game And a 20 min LTD on Sheffield

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 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 […]

Howdy all. A few readers have asked about a few games today so I am going to list a few which I think are worth a comment or two: Sevilla v Getafe The odds are currently 4.6 on the draw. I like the look of this. It's not without risks, the main risks are an […]

Well here begins another one! My NY celebrations fell apart at the last minute so like a sad old git I had a nice bottle of 10 year old red with my 20 year old wife (well ok, but she looked it after the wine) and she fell asleep in front of some mainstream TV […]

Well it's been a while since I posted some trading tips so I thought I would drop some thoughts for Boxing Day's footie...... Spurs At those odds I would be more tempted to lay Spurs than lay the draw! One to avoid I think, regardless of the obvious slaughter being quite possible, just nowhere near […]

Bruges "Excellent post Tim. I have a couple of trades that I am looking at today that you have not mentioned so I just thought I'd ask what you think of the following trades: *1.30 Club Brugges KO trade. *2.30 Gornik Zabrze (Polish League) - after 30 mins if the game is lively *7.00 Rosenborg […]

Some of you regular UKFT readers have sent me quite a few questions for today's busy coupon so I will answer with my thoughts below. All Traders Have Bad Days! Before that let me confirm that yesterday wasn't a great day on the football for me either! These things happen as most people know but […]

I have had a few people asking me to comment on some of their shortlisted games so here goes... Levante v Deportivo Alaves I agree with you Al this is one of those you could be forgiven for ignoring based on the unimpressive stats of the home team, but it's one of those where the […]
