You are free to ask any questions on here and it is almost certain that they will be answered quickly. There is a section which is devoted to newbies.
If you want to trade on horse racing before the race takes place ( in the last ten minutes or so before the race takes place ), you must decide for yourself how much, if any, profit you should take.
My honest advice to you in almost all other markets is to take profit whenever it is there. So, if you back Over 2.5 goals, and an early goal is scored, a profit will be there for you to take, so take it. There is nothing to stop you from re-entering the market at a later stage and, hopefully, making a profit again.
Never let a horse race bet go "in-play". The object of trading is to minimise losses as well as making profit. Letting a bet go in-play is just like betting with High Street bookmakers and you risk losing your whole stake.
There is no easy way of making money despite what some muppets on other forums will tell you.
As a beginner, do not lay at high prices until you are fully conversant with trading. My own recommendation is that you do not lay at any price over 1.75 until you are expert. At this time you can go to another forum and give loads of bad advice to beginners from your position of perceived superiority

well this is easy

...no im not that naive to think that -maybe i just got lucky but a profit in every race in which i played is promising-not quite the buzz of just backing, but winning (and not losing) is what this games about,and if im honest it was quite exciting watching..and willing the figure to go green and climb, if only for pennies, before closing out.
il probably try on the footie tonight and be back on the nags tomorrow if it survives the weather -dont think the dogs or yank racing is for me.

many thanks to the geek for all his hard work.its been fun

It's not so much fun when you have big stakes and the market goes against you. The green figure quickly turns to red and can grow at a frightening rate. Just make sure you jump out before your loss gets to be too big. Don't hope that there will be miraculous recovery in your favour and never allow the bet to go " in running". Just take a deep breath and start again.
I have written excellent advice above. Sadly, I am certain that you will not follow it all the time. We are all human and do silly things. That's how we learn - by doing silly things

Don't forget 'The Honey of the Day thread......over 3700 views already, traders are not only 'number crunchers', but apparently have other interests too

Thanx Toy 3701 views now, some stunners amongst them,

hello TT people just to say hi

Im new to TT started using it fulltime for about 2 days now, i had some experience with other softwares but i think this one is smartly conceived and i want to congratulate all that contributed to make it a reality.

Ok then im 38 and from Portugal, i've been betting now for 2 and a half years but been doing it fulltime for the last 16 months, i bet mainly Football, Tennis and Horse Racing.

Good bets for everybody

[eggman]

I've been on Betfair for 7 years now and have been trading successfully for about 2 years. I've used most of the software out there and have been trading with my current set-up for almost 2 years.

I mostly trade tennis and racing inplay, but also look to trade darts, snooker, cricket (OD and 2020), american football, rugby and pretty much anything where there's the possibility of large price movements in a short period of time.

I've considered going full-time as I make more money trading than my job, but the introduction of the PC was a shock to the system and so I've continued part-time.
