Run for the hills
Why is everyone scampering for the quickist way out of betfair to trade at another exchange, we all know for sure there will a toys out of the cot for a couple of weeks, the dust will settle and everyone(under £250k profit) will carry on normal, so to me its like a load of hot air- get over it

Jensen Button
Jensen,Jensen,Jensen, how amazing was the F1 yesterday, great race to watch, even if it did drag on during the rainy periods, really impressed with Jensen's performance yesterday it just highlights that we should never give up on winning, the determination shown by him is incredible from last to first, positive thinking from him in a big way. Even if Vettel hadn't run wide I believe Button would have over taken him going into the last chicane as he would of had DRS available, even so it was brilliant to see his fightback, picking off Webber, Schumacher and then ultimately the championship leader. Really admire his mindset and the way he kept going with 5 pit stops and a drive through penalty, just goes to show if you can keep your head who know what is possible, lets see if I can transfer something similar into my trading

Taking advice
After a long time 'learning' the fundamentals of betfair trading, I can say that if I had listened to people a bit wiser and more experienced at this than myself, I would be a bit further on in my career as a sports trader, I remember posting on a forum saying if I made 1% of my bank per race I could be a millionaire by Christmas- mathematically yes that would have been true, but would the markets have been able to take my bets at £50000 a time, I don't think so, more importantly would I have been able to accept that when it goes wrong and you have to red up for a £2000 loss, again I don't think so.
What I am trying to say to any wannabe sports traders out there (me included) listen to the advice that's being offered, most of the time you can find it for free- other blogs, face groups, twitter, forums, youtube the list goes on. At the moment I am especially enjoying listening to Jack Birkhead every other day speaking about trading from his point of view, i understand that he is trying to get us on board to join his STJ site, and why not, he must be doing something right with so many members and I particularly liked the interview with chuck from trading the exchange for £28k in 2011 nice insight in his trading practices also. The main that comes across is that trading is all to do with the mind, get this bit right and we wont go far wrong. Good luck......

Development of the mind

Deal or no deal
Trading on betfair brings us many ups and downs, as does life in general, recently I have been reading a few self help/ personal development books, and I can safely say that I feel empowered from reading them, the glass is now more than half full for sure, you may even say it was overflowing- sometimes.
Trading is going well, I have realised that my forecasts for my bank size for this year are totally unacceptable and I am now happy and content with the consistent daily profits I managed to turn out, I have set myself a long term goal on a spreadsheet to allow me to 'focus on where I'm going'.
One quick points, Jack at STJ has started doing a video diary, every couple of days, to document how the markets are each day, I am not a subscriber of his service and I am very much looking for to see what he has to offer once the three month free journey is over. PS in his first Vid he mentions a book called Rich Dad Poor Dad, think I might go and check it out.......

long-sighted-ness
Yep that's what every trader needs- long-sighted-ness, if you are a trader who doesn't look further the today, then I'm afraid your not going to make it in the world of trading. I remember some time ago when I first started this blog I thought this was easy money time, add bit every day = millionaire by then end of the year. Well we are nearly half way through the year and my initial forecasts about having a massive trading account haven't been realised as yet(but its still a substantial one in my eyes), I am not saying its not possible, just that it will take a little longer than first predicted,
Recently my blogging has become a bit hit and miss, shows that after talking about daily P+L's I don't really have any more to say, so my blog will become a bit less frequent than when I first started, but as bits of wisdom come in to my head, I will be here to share them with you.
Goodluck

Looking to the future
Well this is it where do I go from here, trading is continuing nicely but I was beginning to get a bit bored of posting day after day I made this or I made that, so from now on this blog will no longer be about my profit and loss, as I am not sure it actually has any value,other than looking at someone else's profit.
So where am I up to, first point sorry for the lack of updates in the past week or so,not really had much to say if you take into account what I said in the previous paragraph, but anyway I am still focussed and still committed to making a success of it. This week I took part in an online seminar from centaur sports trading academy, I was actually really impressed with the way it was presented and what they have to offer, be it mentoring, daily trading tips, in-depth sports trading courses and further online seminars.
Looking at my own trading I still haven't managed to branch out in to any other sports yet, but something I will be researching in the next month or so,or even wait until the start of the next football and just consolidate my trading skills on the horses instead, who knows, it may even have to take a seat on the back burner as I have an interview next week for new job, its only a couple of months long contract before I go to college full-time (well two days a week)but thats what they call it.
Happy trading
