Wee Goal smashed!

Today P&L: £33.91

Bank: £208.60




Well my goal was well and truly obliterated. Guess i underestimated myself (fingers crossed i don't lose it all tomorrow!) The thing i have found the past few days that are KEY, you have to be patient when looking to enter a trade. Everything has to be right. At first this was my main problem i believe, as i had the attitude of i can make loads from this one trade! Also i was afraid to take a small loss of say £2-3. Now i feel confident about just leaving the trade and going on to the next one and more times than not i am able to make up for my loss with a healthy profit. One more thing, before i start to trade, be it for the day or even for one trade on the footy or tennis, confidence is key! So before trading i try and get myself into a good head space by just listening to some music. (Kiss Kube does the job! http://kube.totalkiss.com/)

Today was all gravy! Sadly i only managed to trade the last 30mins or so of the Irish game because of a phone interview i had. Didn't know what position i should take up as it was still 0-0 and hadn't seen the rest of the game, so i waited! Ireland scored thanks to Fahey in the 76th min. So i decided to enter the over 2.5 goals market. I backed under 2.5 straight after the goal, around the 1.2 mark i think it was, for £100. I was patient and stayed in the market and traded out happily for around a £9 profit (minus commission).
I also managed to trade the England game. I thought England would start off slow because of all the hype so backed 0-0, 1-0 and 0-1 for smallish stakes, looking to increase if the game started off slow. But then England (yes England banged one in early doors) so that scuppered up my plans rather quick. I re-thought my game plan and gave it 5minutes to see how the game was looking. I then decided to trade on the Correct Score market (CS for short, always wondered what CS meant before!) I backed 1-0, and 2-0. I rode them both out for a bit and thankfully managed to come out for a profit similar to Ireland game around the £9 mark. So was happy to leave it there and turn the game off and make some grub :)

So next goal??

As of now i have not set myself a certain date to get to £300 or whatever. As i have quite a busy week next week, graduating from uni and interviews. But i believe that it shouldn't take me to long at all to get to that mark if i stick all my wee rules. NEW GOALS COMING SOON!!

P.s. thinking about upping my stakes slightly now but will have to see! will keep you posted.
Good luck trading!
