Online sports betting
I'm going to set up an account for online sports betting. Just wondering if anyone had any recommendations ? Betfair ? Ladbrokes ? Are they all pretty much the same, any sites worth choosing over others ? I don't know anything about these sites so any advice appreciated. :cheers:

betfair mate!
No point in choosing any of the bookies as their overound is massive. You will get better value on betfair by a long way and also there are a lot of strategies you can use to make money whatever the result. I know......its what i do fulltime! |
OK thanks jonny. I'll set one up with them.
|
also have a look around there are loads of sign up codes for getting free 10 pounds when you sign up. I'd give you mine but haven't a clue what it is!
|
what sort of sports betting do you do?
|
Thanks for mentioning the free 10 pound bet. I'll have a look for codes. I'm not really into gambling seriously just looking to have a bit of fun rather than trying to create a second income. Just trying to make the football a bit more exciting this year.
Some serious gamblers at the gym I work in. One guy pays for all his family holidays with his winnings. Football and rugby league are his main interests. I'll get a few tips from him and see how I get on. Good luck, must be an exciting way to make a living. |

i trade with sporting index,trade on american football mainly,also appose favourites on betfair,i.e allways lay teams like man u as nearly allways odds on.pick a stake i.e £20 ,lay them for that amout if they win next time lay them for stake allready lost plus £20,i carry on till eventually they dont win.
|
I cannot understand why anyone would have an account with anyone other than Betfair.

well there are the main ones bettrader www.racingtraders.com (avoid this like the plague!) gruss not sure of the url? betangel www.betangel.com (my own personal choice of trading platform) And there is currently a free one about to come out that I have been testing for a friend. I can't put a direct link up but I can tell you by pm how to get it as it hasn't been officially released yet? It is free and very good though. What sort of stuff have you been doing manually? How many mins out have you been doing it?? |
Thanks jonny, I'll start doing a bit of research. My manual stuff is pretty crude, mainly horses, jumping in and out of the market.
|
just as an aside......
Welcome back Jonny :thumbsup: |
jonny ................what u trade on ? horses?
|
I'm not much of a gambler but I like a punt on the golf now and again.
I use paddypower.com |
I tried bet Fred but they wouldn't take him

thats the good thing about sports trading. it doesn't matter who wins!!
Check out the below screenshot. Thats of a race that has just gone off a few minutes ago. Whoever wins I make 10 pounds. Now I didn't particularly trade that very well but it took about 30 seconds and there are an average of 20 races a day everyday...... |

you get the idea! and its all tax free |
Interesting stuff there Jonny will have to have a look at home. Mainly do football betting myself and usually make a little profit every weekend but would love to do something similar like you.
Cheers |
if you are into football check out these guys blog. You get an idea of what is possible if you get good at it!
http://psychoff.blogspot.com I also heard a rumour from someone I know who is one of the top sports traders that he knows of someone who has broken the 1 million mark in a year trading football! |

Nice work jonny. Were you just betting and laying the one horse? Thanks for the betangel tip. Obviously loads to learn before 'going live' with it, but it makes loads of sense and makes my manual efforts look a bit tame and dangerous in comparison.

Yeh I was doing various things I think the 2nd one I just scalped the second favourite around the price action and the first I swing traded the favourite. It depends on all sorts of things. What type of market it is, what type of race. no. of runners, liquidity. ALl sorts really! There is a lot to learn with it. I have been doing it for 3 years and I am just an average trader. I tried to post a screenshot of my desktop to give you an idea of how much information I have in front of me but its too bloody big! Will have to upload it to a picture site or something! |
Are you still using a mac or does betangel go better with a pc?
|
you have to use a pc. Also although it does work with vista 64 I would recomend a 32 bit operating system
