I've learned these FIVE things after Betfair Trading for 1 Year 

i want to mention some stage that i went through in my trading career: 1- Uninformed optimism 2-Informed pessimism 3-Despair 4- excitement 5-Boredom

I’ve been trading properly for about 6 months now. Had some huge loses where I’ve over-staked at short odds for a goal, only for a match to finish 0-0 or no further goals come. Biggest lessons I’ve learnt in my time; Concentrate on 1 sport (Football too) and 1-2 strategies primarily the over goals markets for me. I’ve made good money in a day just from trading 2 matches. Also psychology plays a massive part of being profitable, more so than actual strategies I’d say. Not revenge trading/chasing losses, having discipline and using stop losses, treating trading as a business will have a very positive effect on profit.

my biggest struggle with trading is the psychology, ill start with 1K, be up 200/300 in a few days, get brave and risk more than I should or worse stick around in the market instead of trading out for a loss, even when I know I should, then ill be back to 1K and go on tilt because I'm "down" money but technically I'm just back to square one, blow my load and reset 6 months later. So yeah I need to work on that big time. Great video and content I enjoyed watching. Its a vicious cycle, you win you wanna keep trading, you loose you go on tilt. This is why I enjoy betting because you place your bet and walk away, I can deal with losses when betting but haven't been able to when trading.

I’ve been going for around a year or so too, all sounds very familiar haha. I purposefully over-trader to start with to try and learn about different market types etc. it probably cost me a few quid but was all valuable learning. I think it’s good to look at any losses as the cost of learning. Time practising is great and vital, but a lot can be learned from a few genuine traders on YT (but def not the con artists selling their courses). I expect it will take another year or so before I can hope to be consistently profitable, but I’m in for the marathon. Another key lesson is to keep stakes low until you are ready and not get greedy, otherwise it’s a quick way to blow your bank.

Hi Kie, I really like your video. I think you have given a really good overview of what to bear in mind when getting into trading. I think for a beginner, especially one who starts trading by themselves (most of us!) the concept of greening up clouds your vision and can lead to overtrading. I think if I were starting out trading again from the beginning, I would focus on the following: Choosing a sport that I have a good understanding of, observing how the markets move in relation to the live match play, research trading strategies (no more than 3), learn risk management with bank size, learn cost per click and test, test, test that strategy until you are sure it's golden. Pretty much what you've said 😀

I have been trading on Betfair for 7-8 years now. The internet in filled with "low hanging fruit" courses and wannabe traders. Its super refreshing to see you online, probably since Cann Berry. You are on point in all aspects that you talked about however i would like to suggest talking about emotional control and psychology of the game ( state of mind of the players). Keep up the good work Kie!

Good video, I've been trading on Betfair for a few months now, and like you wanted to trade everything moving, I did ok, but its a lot better when you focus on one sport and go from there. I stick with Lay The Draw now, using 5% of my bank for trading and trading out when the favourite scores. or if not staying in the trade if the dog scores and it stays that way for the majority of the game or unti lI get a greenscreen.If the score is 0-0 at half time and the odds have dropped but I know there will be goals in the second half, I cash out half time and then re~enter. and certainly have more wins than losses. i was trading the OV2.5 Goals market on lower league games and that was proving costly.My best results have come with Premiership and Championship games.

I’ve only just seen your channel. You packed a lot of learning into that first year! Keep it up.

Another informative video again Kie. I started trading about 2 months ago (like you, coming from a matched betting background). Just can't seem to get the under 2.5 goals right though. Watch game, research goal times etc and trade the market and boom - a goal goes in. I'm getting over the losses by thinking to myself it's what I've gained from MB.

Love your videos Kie, I wish more Match Bettors would listen when I tell them how hard trading is anyway and match betting really hinders you rather than helps. The thing 100% most important is mindset, without the right mindset forget trading. I traded full time for a brief period around four years ago but found it too solitary and just didn't like it, then the PC hit and that was that.

Thanks for your honest approach. I’m very new to this having some matched betting experience. A problem I find is trying to learn too much too quickly. It’s just an information overload and works against you. Your point about starting with small stakes is definitely a good one.

Yes, trading is like being a crime detective working out who did the crime before the crime happens,

Kie that was a very informative video . The one that most bettors will relate to is the way they react to losses and especially a cluster of them . The best way I find to handle losses is to just think of them as business expenses . There is no business on the planet that has as little overheads as trading and therefore each loss is just an expense so you can continue to trade . The mindset you really need to acquire is to trade in large sample sizes . The distribution between wins and losses over a small number of trades are completely random but over a large sample size your edge will become apparent and you will be in profit . It’s a probability game . Good luck .

Good video. The most important thing I'd say would be patience. Don't enter markets your not sure of. But when you see an opportunity act. Also have limits each week which you build up. Like a tenner per week. This way you will only every lose a small amount. And bank profits.

i have found to truly not worry about your losses is firstly they need to be controlled as you know in your exit plan, this is why we have set entry/exit points but mainly you need to know what your doing works in the long term then taking a loss is never a problem, its taken me about a year to get to a point where i have no interest in losses ill take losses throughout the day but if you was to ask me at the end of the day what they was i would have no idea as there a bigger process going on only in the last 2 months have i been able to do this and take profits in the long term it really is tough and theres been many times where i wanted to give up but all the hardwork finally pays off now all i tend to trade is over 1.5 markets and 2.5 thats it, i will build up a list of selections then i will watch the inplay action and see if i want to get involved its time consuming and i am only making about £20 to £40 aday so not a huge amount some days ill loss £40 but thats not very offen and again never a problem as the day does not matter only the end of the week or month

Good vid all good points I started trading bk in March starting on horse racing a bit in and out same with football trading settled on tennis now important to trade on sport that you understand well too can help my problem is I sometimes get to involved in game and not mechanical enough with my trades

Excellent video...brilliant advice on over trading❤

Does it make sense to start out with matched-betting or is it better to skip it altogether because it will result in getting banned by a lot of bookmakers which will hurt the chances of successfully implementing other (longer-lasting) strategies like value-betting?

am yet to join the hustle...am a forex trader thinking to diversify my income...now i can't get to understand how the cash out calculation works ..lets say am trading out of a trade i have created a 200$ free bet what will be the cash out if i decide to cash out..

I want to get into trading but feel like I maybe missing a key element, as it just seems like gambling to me. Getting out early as soon as the Market has swung the way you want it. If it swings the over way, then you have to get out quick and try to minimalize your losses? I suppose that's where the lay element comes in?

Very interesting! X

Problem in sports betting is not available odds history of each bet selection like Asian handicap etc

Great video. Thank you 🙏

Fantastic 🎉
