<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From when we wake up right up until we put our head on the pillow, we are creatures of habit. The food we eat, the drinks we drink etc. We are comfortable with what is comfortable, unless we forcefully change something in our lives our trend of the norm will continue, day in day out until we drop. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As Biggie Smalls once said, "we can't change the world, unless we change ourselves" </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This habit or routine in which we are comfortable applies to all aspects of life, from brushing our teeth, doing our food shop, making tea/coffee and it even applies to trading on Betfair. If we become habitual losers trading, we will be habitual losers trading, unless we forcefully change the way in which we trade. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">By change the way in which we trade, I mean we have to sometimes go outside our comfort zone. An example of this would be to test out different trading opportunities. Be it by trading differently (stake size, swing trading/scalping, picking different spots in which to trade) or even experimenting with different sports. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I myself have forcefully changed the way I trade. Up until a few months ago my main sport on which to trade was horse racing. Overall I was in the red. I could go 3/4 months winning on the pre horse race markets, but all it took was a string of bad trades to lose all my previous winnings. This was a ongoing cycle in which I was fed up with! </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As of 6 months ago I have forcefully removed trading horses from my routine and I have seen the benefits. I now trade on cricket, tennis, NBA, golf and football. I had traded on all the sports listed before apart from cricket, but they were mainly my secondary sports on which to trade on. The biggest boost in my trading P&L has come from cricket and tennis. There was a steep learning curve for myself as I had never really been into cricket so I had to learn the rules etc from the beginning, it's an on going education but one I am enjoying thoroughly. </span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">By removing horse racing from my trading routine I have had 6 months of pure bliss. I'm officially back in the black. </span></div>

<br />
I haven't really traded tennis "properly" before, it was more guess work than anything but this week I've managed to learn the trade (as much as you can in a week).<br />
<br />
Here's a few rules that have helped me:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>If trading on woman's tennis and the match goes to a third set don't trade on it, unless you have been watching from the start, and with half stakes. As there are much bigger swings towards the end of the match, which is understandable.</li>
<li>Men's tennis definitely favour's backing the server.</li>
<li>A lot of people fancy laying the first set winner, so far I haven't seen anything wrong with this. You can sometimes take advantage of this by laying the winner straight after the set point, the price usually gets pushed up 2-3 ticks by people trying to lay the winner of the set, so you can definitely capitalise on this.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hopefully manage to trade on the rest of Wimbledon to learn a few more tricks of the trade! Won't manage to trade tomorrow as I've got a simulator session, I'm currently completing my Instrument Rating down in Waterford (Ireland). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Right and on to tonight.......I have no idea what is going to happen (Spain v's Italy) </div>
<div>
I've just had one cheeky bet....on......Italy....first corner! </div>
<div>
And i've also managed to get a free bet on Italy 2-1, so will see what happens!</div>

Here's my screen at Half-time. The only bet I have placed is £4 on 1-0 England, the others I managed to trade them.<br />
England are playing shocking at the minute (or Ukraine are playing really well, it's arguable) "Wayne" look's like he hasn't touched a ball in a long time......<br />
<br />
If England come out parking the bus again Ukraine might be able to knick one.<br />
<br /><i style="text-decoration: underline;">Trading wise:</i> I'm going to stick with what I have set up at the minute, I may top up the 1-1 and 1-0 but that's about it.<br />

<br />
I've spent the last year living in Florida completing my Private Pilot's License, Commercial Pilot's License and ATPL exam's. (excuse me if that's all jiberish to you). Basically, everything went swimmingly!<br />
Now I'm out the other side, back in Ireland, I'm just in the middle of doing my Instrument Rating. Which i should have completed by the end of August (weather permitting!)<br />
But the "bad" side is I currently have a lot of down time. So to keep myself occupied i have deposited a nice round figure into Betfair of £200 and as of today i have started trading again.<br />
<br />
Day One: Overall went very well, just getting into the swing of things again. I've got a bit of a new preference regarding graphs and my set up but I will talk about that in later post's.<br />

So far its all been induction and paperwork, so have had time to catch some rays and get to know the place. All great so far and the sun is shining everyday, better than back home! Will hopefully try keep the blog updated as much as i can but obviously it will be to do with flying instead of trading as betfair is banned out here!!!!! Anyone any tips how to have a bet please let me know!<br />
<br />
That's all for now but will try get some pics ups/video over the coming months.<br />
<br />
Best of luck to everyone trading!<br />

Managed to trade the Boston V's Miami game last night in the playoffs. What a game it was. Miami trailed for 99% of the game then Lebron managed to kill the game at the end and somehow they won by 10. I managed to make £22 on the game in the 3rd quarter, so was happy just to watch the rest of the game. In the first quarter i was down £14 but manged to crawl my way back into the green scalping on timeouts and on breaks. There is so much room to this in basketball its crazy especially in the 2nd half as the swings are more drastic if the game is within a few points. Generally the price will move 5-6 ticks correcting itself on timeouts. As people sometimes over estimate the swing in-play. Have a go at it, if you have time you will see what i mean.<br />
<br />
Anyhow, I'm off for a run now on the treadmill. Time to sweat!<br />
<br />
Will be trading both the tennis and horses later, my bank at the minute sits on just over £100. I will be building my bank from now on and wont be withdrawing any of it, as i am off to Florida in 9 days to start pilot training so won't be needing the money from betfair. Hopefully i can make it up to a decent amount.<br />

<br />
Not the best day for my cheeky bets at Cheltenham! But all is hunky dory in the land of trading!<br />
Was a scrappy day for me trading, i started the day not focused and it quickly resulted in a loss on the first race! So i went off, shook myself together, had a cold shower (not that i wanted one! The boiler wasn't working!) and had a quick "energy" snack. I managed to recoup my losses and make a small profit of £34.80 for the day, just in time to as i had football.<br />
<br />
Haven't had time to look at tomorrows card properly so will give my cheeky bets a miss. I'm going to try and make these quality bets from now on, not just hit and hoppers (there will be some reason behind them! May it be the horses name sounds good? I joke!)<br />
<br />
I fancy a good day for Graham Lee at Ayr tomorrow! And Jim Goldie normally has a good day up there.<br />
So i will look to have some E/w bets when the two are combined.<br />
Lets see how they get on!<br />

</div><div><br />
</div><div>On another note: When i was trading on Newmarket today (in-running) i noticed there was a pretty strong bias for the inner stalls (1-3), this applied to most races under 7f.</div><div><br />

</div><div>I will put a lay bet in @ half the odds and see where it gets me.</div><div>This will more than likely go Pete Tong! But hey ho worth a go!<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">All horse's traded lower than their SP's however none traded @ half there odds so small loss but made it back by trading pre race.</span></div><div><br />
</div><div>As for todays racing i made a tidy some of £93.80 trading.</div><div>I also made £9 trading the Chicago @ New York Basketball game.</div><div>Plus i made £12 trading 2 tennis games around midday.</div><div><br />
</div><div>So a good day all round.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Hope it goes as well tomorrow!</div><div><br />

Thankfully there was! So that kept me occupied for 20minutes or so. Have greened out for £5 just now, decided not to be greedy!<div>Here's a quick print screen of my set-up: </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1e1so_l48JpY2JvTTB93o4aDi4bhPMqwRnOvD2qcnkoOu2bqEGNORBi3z6_QuiUsC9Y1PV_IswFHajkdwQkUuM_ByvXu3w65UXxU_bfMP1-OnZjTUfKH3RfENAKC1MhgAPnnbaE_jled3/s1600/tennis+trading.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1e1so_l48JpY2JvTTB93o4aDi4bhPMqwRnOvD2qcnkoOu2bqEGNORBi3z6_QuiUsC9Y1PV_IswFHajkdwQkUuM_ByvXu3w65UXxU_bfMP1-OnZjTUfKH3RfENAKC1MhgAPnnbaE_jled3/s320/tennis+trading.png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Aside from starting to trade tennis more frequently, i decided to play around with The Geeks Toy a bit more.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I've been right clicking all over the shop and have been looking at all the different options that are available. I really don't know why i didn't do this in the first place because the standard layouts (which can be accessed by right clicking on the ladder) are just awesome! I now use different layouts depending on which sport i am trading on. In the snapshot above i am using the In-Play layout, which is a great asset for tennis trading as you get to witness the swings more accurately and also you can green up on the ladder itself by clicking just to the right of the odds, which is a great feature.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The layout which i have found most helpful, surprisingly to me, is the Financial layout. I use this solely for pre horse race trading. I have started pre horse trading again since i have found this layout and it has helped me leaps and bounds, having the graphs directly under the ladder and candlesticks to the side of the odds of each horse is great. Everything is in clear view and you can process the numbers a hell of a lot quicker. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">To summarise, the geeks toy is quite possibly "the best in the world".</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In my last post i said i would upload another video, however camtasia crashed on me and started having an epileptic fit on my screen so i was forced to remove it as it had clearly had to much to drink and had to be escorted off the premises. But all is well! As i have found a new piece of kit which records just as quick and also doesn't cause my screen to lag which is great! So will try and get a video up as soon as.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Regarding the pilot training front, i have to go to the US embassy Thursday to go for a interview for my visa. When i was filling out the online form there was one Question that made me stop and just think......really?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Q.

Traded up until 3:30, was happy enough with my profit so decided to stop for the day. Went off to the gym then to have a chill out. Haven't been able to go recently as i pulled my tricep, but thankfully I'm all fit and well now!<br />
<br />
Just noticed today that Betfair have Live Video now for the RacingUk tracks? Since when did they pull that one out of the bag!? It's great for me as i only could trade in-running on the ATR courses and this is where i make most of my profit.<br />
I've started using the tick offset feature on The Geeks Toy now, which you can find by right clicking on Stakes and tools. I use it before the race scalping the market. Its a great feature when you're using large amounts to scalp with a small bank, for instance today i had a bank of £70 to start the day, so when I'm scalping i can't place numerous orders around the market so I'm ahead of the queue, but with this tick offset feature it automatically puts a lay bet in (or back bet depending on which you put in first) when i start getting matched. Its a nifty feature and I'm just starting to get to grips with it. HOWEVER! As i also trade in-running i have to make sure i turn it off before the race starts, because i like to swing trade in-running. Today i was a jackass (to put it bluntly) and forgot to turn the tick offset off before the race began. Needless to say i didn't know what was going on and panicked! Came out with a small profit from the race so no harm done! But lesson most definitely learned!<br />
<br />
Off to make some chicken drumsticks now and some salad yummm yummm! Then a bit of Fifa later to cool down!<br />
<br />
Trade safe<br />

Chicago last night had no blip whatsoever, they said they would get revenge for losing a 30 point lead last time they played Atlanta, and that's exactly what they done. The final score was 114:81.<br />
<br />
I fancied Bulls from the off so i backed them during the day at 1.6 and 20 minutes before the off i layed them at 1.55. I done this so that i could watch the first few points go in and see how both teams were playing. Bulls initially went behind, albeit for a few minutes. After they went back even i backed them again @ 1.52. I watched the first 2 quarters and by the end of the 2nd they were available to lay @ 1.13. So that's what i did, however i didn't green up my £42 which i had on Bulls,i just felt that they couldn't throw the game away twice so i stuck with the green on them. Thankfully they cruised on to win the match.<br />
I've still got a long way to go and a lot more to learn about each team and the structure but so far so good.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
On to today!<br />
I'm hopefully going to trade most of the races today. My structure for trading at the minute is that i trade every race before the off, but if that race has a live stream (the races on ATR, not the races on RacingUK) i go in-running and trade in-running and when I'm happy with my green i close the market and move on to the next race. Sometimes it can be after the first furlong of the race, sometimes i have to wait till the last 2 furlongs. It all depends on how the race is won. I feel that its very important NOT to be greedy with the amount of Green you get, as I'm sure many of you have done before, you manage to get a decent green on a race and in your head your saying "MOVE ON TO THE NEXT RACE, TAKE THE GOD DAM GREEN!!" but then your fingers and your ego come into play and you start clicking, thinking "I CAN MAKE MORE LOOK WHAT I'VE MADE ALREADY!!" and then of course you go on to take a loss or lose the better part of your profit!<br />
<br />
If i get a decent green after the first few races i will most likely go outside and enjoy the sunshine as its like 16'C today! Suntan lotion time!! (I wish)<br />
<br />
Stay Hydrated people<br />

Like when is the best time to back a team/lay a team. What are the stats saying for that particular game?<br />
And of course a lot more!<br />
<br />
The past week I've started to trade on Basketball games. I spent hours trawling the Internet to look for a near enough live feed so i could watch the games i was trading on, which is a must! Luckily after a few attempts i found a pretty decent site which shows some live streams (2-3 second delay).<br />
link --> <a href="http://www.livescorehunter.tv/">http://www.livescorehunter.tv/</a><br />
<br />
At the moment I'm just trying to learn the league structures and trying to learn the all the important stats.<br />
<br />
I managed to trade the New York Knicks V's Boston Celtics game last night. At one point the Celtics were behind by about 16points. However they managed to come back and win the match by 10 points. Luckily i managed to lay Knicks at 1.20 and got out at 4.2 for a nice profit of £16.<br />
<br />
Hopefully going to trade the Bulls vs Hawks tonight, really fancy the Bulls to win it (currently @ 1.6) However I'm a newbie so don't mark my words!<br />
<br />
Looking forward to learning more about trading the sport because as of the end of May i will be in the States for 10 months.<br />
Also learning a new sport really keeps you on your toes.<br />
<br />
Ciao for now,<br />

I'm not sure if i will just trade on the horse i want to bet on before the off, trying to get a green on the horse and then just let it ride so that i have a freebet or just punt the more traditional way!<br />
Have availed of a few offers like the one at Ladbrokes, which gives you a few free bets once you've staked a certain amount, the usual story.<br />
<br />
Here's a few of my selections, looking forward to seeing how it plans out!<br />
<br />
13:30 - Spirit Son (7.0) Betfair<br />
Also got a few quid on Zaidpour which i will probably trade at in-running.<br />
<br />
15:20 - Peddlers Cross (5.5) Betfair<br />
Same as above going to trade on Khyber Kim in-running<br />
<br />
17:15 - Tullamore Dew (10.0) Betfair<br />
<br />
<br />
There's my bets for tomorrow, lets see how they go!<br />
<br />
As for trading, all is going well!<br />
Starting to get into Basketball trading now, have managed to find live streams for the games, definitely worth some more time.<br />
<br />
Hope everyones trading is going good.<br />
Good luck with all the punts tomorrow!KO'Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02639863077960613390noreply@blogger.com3
