Update in these uncertain times…

Posted on by March 28, 2020

Well hello again budding and professional traders alike! What a time this is for us eh, and indeed for just about everyone else worldwide. As some of you know I have been meaning to make a post for a while with a discount code for all of you who are probably stuck at home and perhaps looking for something to do. A few people have nudged me over the past weeks about this and I have finally found time to sit down and do it. I have had a lot of family stuff to take care of mainly due to Covid19, teaching them some good practices for sterilisation of packages …

Rugby Trading on Betfair, and a wee World Cup sweetener

Posted on by October 27, 2019

(If you’re here for the Discount code, it’s down the bottom) Hi all. It’s been a while. I’ve been all over the place recently, mostly doing stuff I would rather not be doing but some good stuff in between thankfully. I have a friend who trades rugby and since rugby is on everyone’s mind lately, I thought I would write a brief post just to open any rugby minds out there to the idea of trading. Rugby can be a great environment for beginners to play with the strategy of “laying the leader” which is basically just value betting. I posted about value bets a while back too, but generally …

Annual Update & Yes, it’s done!

Posted on by January 19, 2019

Hi all, (assuming you’re still here!) I am so sorry for all the delays, even though I know my apologies and excuses must sound pretty hollow by now! I knew it was bad, but I didn’t realise how bad. I happened to look back through my emails and even some of the comments on the site pages, and there were conversations almost 2 years ago where I said it “wouldn’t be long” until I’d release a detailed ebook covering pre-race trading. The response to my free article on the subject greatly increased the number of requests and therefore the pressure on me to hurry it up, but I still can’t …

Happy New Year!

Posted on by January 2, 2019

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 time I will sort out a few other issues (sleep being the first one!) like security on the file, working out how to deliver it (it’s a large file) etc. Anyway, just wanted to say HNY to all the regulars and I hope that VERY soon those of you who want to trade the racing …

So close!

Posted on by December 24, 2018

I badly wanted to have the pre race trading ebook out in time for Xmas but it’s not going to be possible. It is complete except for a few minor edits/typo corrections. However I am changing payment processor and due to the time of year it hasnt been too easy to set it up, slow response from customer service people etc. I am on it flat out though so I am hoping it’s just a matter of days now until the ebook is ready to publish. However a couple of people will be proof reading it first. It’s not far away now but I can’t say exactly when, a week …

Pre-Off trading ebook update…

Posted on by November 3, 2018

Just a quickie post as I have had quite a few requests for an update in the past few days. The ebook 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 some issues with payment processor to deal with once it’s complete so although I expect it to be completely written in around a week it doesn’t look like it will be actually available to buy for maybe another week after that, possibly two but hope not. (I refuse to allow people to steal this as has …

A quick word about “Value” bets (or trades)

Posted on by October 2, 2018

I have had a few comments recently regarding the concept of “Value” when trading on Betfair. 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 maybe there is a forum thread buzzing somewhere on this topic lately, either way…..   “Just wondering about this whole “value” concept that I have read about so much over the last year or so and how this relates to the methods used to pick LTD selections. How do we know we are getting value with …
