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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

A few of my readers who trade the racing (specifically referring to my In Play racing methods) mentioned Croquembouche. Yes and what a pick it was, but NOT because it won! I am a bit concerned already that some people are falling for the old "Wait... it might WIN!" problem, which plagues the In-Play trading […]

Hi all, just a quickie to say I have finally got round to fully updating my article on pre-race horse racing trading. I put a lot of time into this as so many have asked for a lot more info than I offered before. An ebook will follow as soon as I can, but for […]

Hi all, sorry for lack of posts recently. There are various reasons, some slightly experimental too, so here is a summary... I got ill yet again, driving me crazy and don't think my body can take many more courses of antibiotics at this rate! That caused me to stop posting for a while, trading is […]

Happy New Year Well mine has started well, connection issues again. BT did a great job of installing my optical fibre connection, through a large tree and across through neighbours garden to the pole. The only problem seems to be, trees grow. Apparently this is quite normal. But optical fibre cables don't grow at the […]

Just a quick post as a couple of people asked me why the odds didn't move on that trade. As the stats suggested, Lahti scored, and not far off their exact statistical average for 1st goal scored. Nice. But the price didn't move! Well it did, but not much, and certainly nowhere near as much […]

2 nice winners from 3 so far. i have to go out tonight so i am taking a few quid green on the inter game and exiting at 5.8 (laid at 5.3) as i can't concentrate til 9pm for that game. good luck to anyone trading

Well I could have waited for what is more than likely going to be a full stake win, but I need to make a pizza so I am going to cut and run. As expected, Madrid set the score back level and then went 2-1 up so I am taking an exit there. I did […]

Well the shortlist I have for trading today is probably the biggest I have ever seen in years of betfair football exchange trading. I am just doing stats, which could take a while and who knows I may still not end up with many trades as shortlists are only preliminary lists based on prices (so […]

Oh well. Won £100 on the Madrid trade but lost £100 on Roda JC. Ho hum, usually works!

As most of you know I don't do a great deal of trading during summer. Football is sketchy and unreliable as far as stats are concerned. Important - I am also planning on releasing some guides on how I trade, including all of my current daily-use methods. Laying the draw is obviously my big one, […]
