I tend to be coy simply because I've seen so many people blunder into the market and lose a lot of money. I think dishing out bog standard advice is as dangerous as it is helpful.

Also I think it helps a lot if you impose your own style on a market else you will have hundreds of clones running around doing the same as you. Not helpful. I started doing the courses simply due to demand, I spend most of my time trading and investing, but don't mind doing the odd seminar here and there; I actually quite enjoy it. As long as it covers the cost of me taking a day out from normal activity I'm happy to share stuff I have learnt and its nice to take a break from the screen. Also I'm probably five years ahead of most in terms of application. Currently I am off on some abstract tangents on certain sports. I am spending the summer working on new sports and sports I think will likely become popular in the future.

Once you have a handle on the main tactics you can start putting them to use on several different markets. But the skill comes in applying them well and adapting your strategy to each market. I know it sounds corny but I'd be surprised that if you spent money learning, you couldn't make a return on your investment at the moment.

Thanks for replying. It's really interesting.
Something I did think about doing during the football season was laying 0-0 draws on say 14 matches. I've learnt the average 0-0 is 1 match in 14. If you are more selective on teams that score goals and haven't drawn many then this should come down. So depending on your liablity on laying each 0-0 unless you get 2 or more 0-0's you would make money.

Is there any material out there that would help me know what prices will drift in or out on the bet exchanges? Or is it just experience of trading the exchanges?
Thanks.

There is no quality material out there yet. I cover tactics and strategies in the course (the next is on the 7th July then nothing during the summer) which is designed to identify price movements. I recently uploaded some tutorials and examples where I am discussing a horse race. Visit the tutorials section of http://www.betangel.com

Thanks! I'll have a look at your free version first.
Can you let me have some details of your seminar please. I probably can't afford it at the moment TBH but if not this time hopefully you do one later in the year when i've checked the back of my sofa for money!

What cracking software. I've just downloaded it and listened to the tutorial. Was that our dulcet tones I hear?
Can I ask another question? (sorry I feel I'm bothering you a bit). You layed the bet before backing it. I have been doing it the other way round. Does it depend on the market?
Thanks.

For some reason T2W didn't send this message through. So glad I nipped in tonight. Thanks for the praise it makes the effort worthwhile.

"Can I ask another question? "

Sure, It all depends on how the market is shaping up. Different sports events act completely differently depending on their dynamics and also whether they are in play or not. Its a strange market for those that have never ventured there before. You sort of buy high and sell low and often it makes sense to let losses run. All strange stuff to a financial trader.

I have a problem. When using the basic version 'live'. It tells me this version had expired. But I can't see a newer version. Is it time limited? If it is that may explain it?
Thanks

You should see a dialogue box saying, "Would you like more information?" click yes and you can upgrade from there. We expire the software on a regular basis so we can ensure everybody has the latest version.

Did that make sense. Have you managed to upgrade OK?

Incidentally we just released Bet Angel professional which takes you onto the next level on exchange trading. We are about to drop streaming charts into that version. We already have a mass of requests for other features which we will add over time.
