Introduce yourself!

Hi guys,

Newbie from Ireland here. Have had an interest for a number of years in sports trading and finally started researching about one week ago. Been 'fiddling' around with the trial whilst watching tutorials so i'm still getting used to the lay out and the purpose of certain buttons (selections). Will be starting a thread on another part of the forum shortly. On there, I'l be posting questions and running through what I think I'm doing wrong or right, I believe by posting a blog, it will not only help myself but other complete newbies to the trading spectrum
I believe this journey will be very long, I intend to take it at a slow pace and learn as much as I can before I intend to throw real money in the BF bullring. Cheers guys, I look forward to becoming a part of the well-established community you have here.

Good luck, plenty on the forum who will help if you have questions.

Regards

Mike

Hi guys, I've been doing a little trading over the past few years but with little or no success.
A friend of mine recently pit me on to a tipster called Mark Hatcher. Does anyone on here have experience of dealing with him.

Thanks.

Hello to all involved on the forum.
I ended up here as I have an interest in learning about trading and its benefits although as far as I have read so far its not going to be an easy skill to master.
I come from a horse betting background and have also dabbled in a bit of shared ownership.
The next few days I guess I'll be reading over the newbie posts and trying to understand the basics.

Hi everyone, I'm from Perth, Australia. Started looking at the idea of sports trading from some articles by Caan Berry I stumbled across. Very little betting experience really, used to have the occasional bet down at the pub but nothing more.

My focus at the moment is trying to get proficient at the scalping/hedging combo, if that's the right terminology. Profiting from the 1-2 pip spreads, then hedging it across all runners. Relatively low risk and low gains to match, but that doesn't phase me, if I can see it works I'll increase the size of the stakes to make it worthwhile.

My experience is a bit confused - I actually didn't realise during my trial of Geeks Toy that I had delayed/limited data from BetFair (the API section was yellow rather than white). I had some good results initially, during a week day I didn't do that well, only stumbled across 3 situations where the Lay/Back were overlapping (not at the same time, but moving back and forth quickly), but on a Sat night I did unbelievably, too-good-to-be-true well (in training mode). Now of course I look back and realise the data was delayed. Since then I've corrected that issue, and since then I've rechecked on Sunday and found nothing good, none of the same frequent Bet/Lay overlapping for easy profit, then the trial ended (after only 4 days... odd). I'm thinking that come Saturday, I will probably subscribe just so I can see what sort of action there is on Saturday night. Even if it's just a small portion of what I saw last Saturday with the delayed data, it'll be worth it. So we'll see... Sadly, I don't have my hopes up.

If anyone has any comments about how similar the delayed data is to the live data, I'd appreciate that. Apart from the data being delayed, is anything else different? Am I seeing the opportunities because it's delayed data? Perhaps the data I see doesn't reflect that others snapped up those opportunities immediately? If anyone has a solid answer it'll help me decide whether or not to subscribe for a month and retry, but if not I'll probably do it to confirm for myself.

I'll either see that my strategy works with live data and get stuck into it every Saturday at least, or if it doesn't work with live data as I'm expecting I'll just need to read up on more lower risk strategies, practice and learn, and subscribe a bit later on. We'll see how it goes!

Thanks in advance for any insight into my current predicament.

Hi my names Steve and I'm a newbie to Geek Toys. I have downloaded the app and I'm trying to figure it out in practice mod but I think I will need a lot of practise (I'm old). I've been match betting for around 6 months on and off but this is totally different and a lot more addictive. Expect plenty of stupid question.

Hi all
I am elmoputney I've been interested in horse racing for a good few years now tried most ways to lose money , but that hasn't stopped me yet so I thought I would try my hand at trading , been using the geekstoy for the last week and I have to say it seems great so far, I've been attempting to learn scalping,mainly doing ok and quite enjoy this new way of looking that means I am not bothered who wins as long as the ticks go the right way, I am starting off small and hoping to grow the bank a little daily until I can up it to proper stakes, I think it may be an adventure will look forward to getting involved and l learning all I can
