Betfair Exchange Trading into 2021 – Year End Summary

Stuart 2 Comments

As we approach the end of another year of Betfair Exchange trading, we are of course reminded what a strange year 2020 has been. It all started so well, didn’t it? We were just getting into the year, and then around March time we were all made aware that there was this ‘virus-thingy’ being talked about in China, and with a handful of cases starting to sprout up in other countries.

I don’t think we really took it that serious to begin with, did we? In fact we booked a holiday in March, not thinking too much about it. Then as the weeks progressed it quickly became fairly obvious to anybody with half a brain-cell, that something serious was happening: Covid-19.

I remember reading about Tom Hanks and his wife catching Covid-19, and then Donald Trump closing all flights into the US, and everything kind of snowballed rapidly after that.

This year has potentially changed our future..

Football started to close up shop, as did other sports, and then eventually horse racing in the UK was cancelled due to there being no medical services present. Then we had the full UK lock-down when people (mostly) actually listened and stayed home.

Then of course we had Dominic Cummings and the stories of him not adhering to his own rules, and after that, I feel the UK just thought: “Well, if the people who created the rules are not even going to abide by them, why should we?!…” I personally feel Boris, our Prime Minister, lost a lot of respect from the British public when he didn’t sack that guy; but hey, nothing we can really do about it.

Betfair Account Suspended? Or a Closed Account? Read This:

Stuart 2 Comments

Over the last few months, I have been reading about many Betfair users having their accounts closed/suspended. But at the same time OUR Betfair Course members do not have their Betfair accounts closed.

Therefore, let me explain why our members are protected – and more importantly, HOW!

Betfair as a business are predominantly a digital operation, IE: They are an online business, and everything runs with data – and data costs money! No business worth their salt are going to allow ‘free-loaders’, and this is why many people are having issues with their Betfair accounts. This is not new, but with the explosion in sports trading over the last couple of years, there are now more and more disgruntled Betfair customers than ever before.

How does Betfair data cost them money? 

Well, think about it. All these websites you visit, even eBay, Twitter, Facebook and the likes have their websites hosted on servers, and servers are basically computers with a very large hard-drive capacity. So when you visit a website, or extract/read content from such a website, traffic (electricity, which we know is not free) flows through these servers in order to present the web-page on your computer, tablet, or phone; and this costs money to the end user – the website owners.

I actually have some personal experience with this, as I used to own a sizable hosting company many years ago; with multiple servers, and around 12,000+ websites – believe me, it costs money for data, so I get why more, and more companies are stopping the abuse – it is a real headache keeping on top of drive space and increasing costs!

Betfair Trading Strike Rates – How to Maintain Consistency

Stuart 2 Comments

About 6 months after launching the Betfair trading course, it quickly came to my attention, that although I knew members were enjoying the course content, and progressing well, there was a common theme beginning to emerge, and it is this common theme that I just want to highlight on this post today.

What I began to realise, was that members who had been on the course at least a couple of months, began to send me emails, together with screenshots showing their profit and loss. Of course members sent such emails earlier on in their journey as well, which was great to see also. But, something was starting to happen, and I could see a pattern developing.

The type of emails I want to talk about here, and explain in some more details, are the ones that started to show a consistent 90%+ strike rate.

Is There a Right Way of Betfair Trading? I Wanted to Find Out.

As a trader myself, I had always been in the high 90% strike rates when I trade, but what I didn’t know at the early stage of the course creation, was whether the teachings would ‘migrate’ enough for members to replicate these type of statistics. It’s like if Wayne Rooney started a football academy, he obviously wouldn’t know how successful he would be in passing on the skills, that he himself had learned over the years. Read More
