Sorry for the late post this month


Diary

Sorry for the delay in the diary for this month for those that do read it, its been quite an exciting month for me. I have always been keen on getting into Trading on the Betfair exchange having participated in match betting for a number of years. Having followed Caan Berry and Peter Webb online for many years I have always wanted to get into it. the reason for not is the fear of loosing money and not having enough time to fully research the sport that I wish to trade on.

So, I finally got involved in trading football last week. It was going great until emotion took over when one trade went against me. Instead of having an exit strategy I froze not knowing what to do and even though the trading was going well at that point my washout was only heading further into the red and before you know it had wiped out all of the weeks profit so far. Then to top it off the same happened the following day, I should have learnt my lesson. I feel that I let my emotion of loosing money get the better of me and instead of taking a small loss I panicked again.

I have now started to trade with an exit strategy in mind, but also I have decided to study the odds movements for my trades throughout the football match as gaining knowledge of how the odds are moving at various times through the game will help me make better informed decisions. 

For the full week my trades were as follows

Trade 1 forgot to keep note of game £26.23
Trade 2 forgot to keep note of game £3.60
Rotterdam vs Groningen (Lay the draw) £23.45
Villa vs Spurs (Lay the draw) £22.73
Ath Madrid vs Liverpool (scalped draw) £9.02
Dortmund vs Paris (Lay the draw) £5.58
Man City vs West ham (correct score dutch) £15.02
Spurs vs Leipzig (correct score dutch) £21.13
Derby vs Fulham (correct score dutch) £19.56
Waalwijk vs Rotterdam (correct score dutch) £28.71
Brescia vs Napoli (correct score dutch) -£42.70
Chelsea vs Spurs (correct score dutch) £26.84
Leicester vs Man city (correct score dutch) £28.91
Levante vs Madrid (correct score dutch) £15.89
Arsenal vs Everton (correct score dutch) -£152.09
Liverpool vs West Ham (correct score dutch) -£159
Napoli vs Barcelona (correct score dutch) £27.84
Chelsea vs Munich (correct score dutch) -£1.59
Dusseldorf vs Hertha (correct score dutch) -£94.36
Willem vs Groningen (Correct score dutch) -£92.72
Norwich vs Leicester (Correct score dutch) £28.78

Leaving a total of -£244.15

This is certainly not the start I hoped for, however with my new ideas and attitude to taking a small loss when needed if the trade goes against me, I think I should recover total loss. I know where I have gone wrong so I will fund the loss so I can continue to learn trading.

If anyone who reads this diary does football trading and would like to give me some pointers it would be greatly received, likewise if anyone reading this diary would like to jump on the trading journey with me, reply on here of send me a message and we can help each other going forward.
