Sports Trading Diary Entry 2 150312

Daily update of my sports trading progress.

I started sports trading (mainly football matches) on Bet Fair at the beginning of February 2012. Follow my progress in my daily (almost!) updated sports trading diary entries.

Firstly though, I missed out on a fabulous offer for new sports traders to get a free £25 bet – the first time they start sports trading on Bet Fair. So to make sure you don’t miss out on this wonderful offer;

Claim a risk free £25 free bet at Bet Fair, click Bet Fair £25 bet. Make sure when you join the site, that you use or see the code HU4XE6MTR in the relevant voucher area to get your risk free £25 bet.

If HU4XE6MTR doesn’t show in the relevant box when you are filling in the joining page, you might not get your £25 free bet and that would be a shame to miss eh?

Ok, so Wednesday the 14h March was a strange day for me. The third day of my sports trading journal coincided with the second day of Cheltenham… I did admit in my sports trading diary entry for Wednesday, that I intended placing a few bets on the races.

Well it would appear that even on my small stakes, the luck of the horses was with me yesterday and I finished the day with a Bet Fair betting bank of £130.49. I also seemed to do ok with the football matches I traded on, but I know for a fact that a large percentage of my trading bank was due to a certain each way accumulator coming in!

Not that we’re talking huge money of course – I only tend to bet on the horses at the big events, as Bet Fair trading on horse racing scares the hell out of me; it’s such a fast moving market that I wouldn’t know how to begin and am thinking of perhaps going on a course to find out!

Anyway, I’ve made my accumulator bets for the day at massive £2 stakes on today’s race card at Cheltenham and I still have £122. 49 in my trading bank to trade on the football with today. I’m going to chalk that up as my end of day total and in effect have my small bets at Chetenham for free!

I started the day with £118.91 and ended the day with £122.49 – a profit of £3.58.

I’m still however concerned about one of the football trading strategies that I am using and will attempt to refine it further today – it seems currently to leave me ‘open’ to losing the bet too often, or being in a position that I might as well see out the rest of the match, as closing the bet is virtually undoable due to price.

This of course does mean that potentially if things go right for me, I can be in line for a big win trade profit percentage to stake value wise; but it also means that my trade is open for too long and is in the hands of the gods as to whether it works out. Usually the law of sod applies here and there seems to be an uneven amount of matches that work out badly when I’m stuck in a trade, compared to if I wasn’t and I was just watching the results come in!

Of course leaving a trade open for too long is too risky and just the same as gambling – the sensation you get when making a trade like this compared to other riskier trades is the same feeling one gets when waiting to see whether one’s horse is going to make it over the finish line first!

Ok, so Tuesday the 13th March was a strange day for me. The second day of my sports trading journal coincided with the opening day of Cheltenham…

I started the day with £114.74 and ended the day with £118.91 – a profit of £4.17.

This doesn’t show the whole picture though; once again the law of sod struck and wiped off a potentially winning trade that would have seen me finish the day with a bank nearer the £140.00 mark. I have looked at this trade again and wouldn’t have done anything different. I therefore strike it up for experience and take it on the chin! 

I’ll be having a punt on Cheltenham again today – in between football trading, so hopefully I won’t have wiped out my bank by the end of the day… Finger’s crossed!

Ok, so Monday the 12th March was a strange day for me. The first proper day of my sports trading strategy – the first day of me updating this area of the site in my sports trading journal.

I started the day with £109.93 and ended the day with £114.74 – a profit of £4.81.

This doesn’t show the whole picture though; on the last two trades of the day, after following my new sports trading strategy to the letter, I had two trades that fulfilled my criteria of being ‘dead certs’… Whilst the trade was open, something else happened in the match that lowered the odds even further, meaning a potential greater profit – almost guaranteed…

That’s the problem though, almost guaranteed is a word the law of sod loves to play with, and would you believe it, I ended losing both these trades. I could have closed these two open trades 2 to 3 minutes before things rapidly changed in the market and had made a big profit on them. Instead I was greedy and stayed in too long.

Lesson learned, even for my ‘dead certs’ I will treat them in the same manner and use the same strategy when they ‘come off’.

Trading Journal First Sports Trading Diary Entry

Trading Journal First Sports Trading Diary Entry

Trading Journal First Sports Trading Diary Entry is an area in which I plan to update on a daily basis my sports trading progress.

I started sports trading (mainly football matches) on Bet Fair at the beginning of February 2012. I missed out on a fabulous offer for new sports traders to get a free £25 bet - the first time they start sports trading on Bet Fair. So to makesure you don’t miss out on this wonderful offer;

Claim a risk free £25 free bet at Bet Fair, click Bet Fair £25 bet. Make sure when you join the site, that you use or see the code HU4XE6MTR in the relevant voucher area to get your risk free £25 bet.

If HU4XE6MTR doesn’t show in the relevant box when you are filling in the joining page, you might not get your £25 free bet and that would be a shame to miss eh?

The reason I’ve decided to do this daily sports trading journal is two fold;

Firstly I post a football trading entry on the day’s in-play football coupon on a near daily basis, to the main Football Trader blog. It therefore isn’t too much extra time for me to add an entry on how I’m doing sports trading wise on a daily basis.

Secondly, in some respects this sports trading diary is an area which I can use to keep my sports trading on the ‘straight and narrow’, to ensure that although I imagine at the moment no one other than I is actually reading this Football Trading blog, it will at least be a public place on which I will record my daily trading bank figure.

A sports trading journal giving details of my increase or I suppose decrease of my trading bank to focus my attention and ensure that when trading football or any other sports, my trading remains within the boundaries that I have set myself on the Sports Trading page.

Working to the strategy that limits my sports trading risks to exposure in the in-play market to acceptable risk and reward level, I am using the exit strategy of when the Trade will give 5% return of the initial stake or if it has been longer than 5 minutes since my initial trade was matched.

The reason why I’m working to the above, is that when going through my notes over the last few weeks, it is quite obvious that I have been leaving my trades open for too long and not working to a strict exit strategy.

I have now developed a strict exit strategy whilst sports trading, that I intend stick to at all cost; to reduce my risk in having my trades in open in-play for too long and enforcing a strict timescale and ensure that unless I was extremely unlucky the percentage profit was lowered and made easily achievable, so I could exit the trade with the best possible chance of being in profit.

I started using this sports trading exit strategy on Saturday 10th March 2012. At that point I had lost two thirds of my initial trading bank and had started to question my sports trading strategy and tactics. On inspection of my daily sports trading diary that I was keeping noting records of trades etc, I realised that I was being unrealistic with my time spent exposed to risk in open play; I was also being ‘greedy’ in my target percentage profit goals on each trade.

Sports trading in the in-play market can give some big swings percentage profit wise – if you time your trades correctly, you can be looking at a green-up sign telling you that you’ve made a potential profit virtually immediately you place a trade in the in-play market. The temptation therefore, is to leave your trade open too long becoming mesmerized by the green up figure, as it shows an ever increasing green up amount.

So to give today’s starting bank £109.93 – this figure was down to the £103 mark on Saturday morning, so it has already increased from that. But as there was no viewable record, I will start my sports trading journal with the bank figure of £109.93.

I will now vow to update this daily (on the days that I do trade) as a record of my sports trading. It will be my sports trading diary!

Sports Trading

Sports Trading

Sports trading for me has been an interesting journey so far. One thing that I’ve attempted to do in the last few days or so, is to break the old gambling mindset and to attempt to develop a sports trading mindset instead.

In the olds days before I started trading sports online at Bet Fair, I used to have a punt on any sports match that took my interest – generally these would have been football and/or rugby matches in the UK.

Getting out of the mindset of only concentrating on the end result; instead looking for potential trades in the in-play market has been quite difficult. I still found myself ‘gambling’ on the particular sports trade in question, thinking I could leave my trades ‘open’ for too long, before trading out of them for a profit.

Staying in a open sports trading position for too long opens you up to an increased risk of the trade not working out to your advantage – leave it up to the players on the pitch to come good for us, just doesn’t work!

I have therefore been experimenting with the timings and or profit level of each particular trade, and found that on several ‘losing’ trades, had I had got out of the market at the 5 minute point from start of trade, I would have ‘won’ more sports trading positions than otherwise and would have kept my initial stake, instead of losing it in an open sports trading position that had actually turned into a gamble / punt!

To solve and help me keep focused on this, I have decided to lower my percentage target for each individual trade to 5% of stake. I was originally aiming for 10% of stake and was finding that I was actually trading out at higher than that – thus potentially leaving my sports trade open to fail due to gambling on the position, rather than seeing it as a sports trading opportunity and trading out and moving to the next football trading opportunity that arises.

I’m thinking about keeping a football trading diary on here, as I seem to be updating the site everyday (well almost!) with the day’s current in-play football coupon. Keeping a record of my journey in a diary format, will probably serve as an additional motivation to stick to my new 5% or 5 minutes rule.

Everything I read online about sports trading indicates that the first hurdle each football / sports trader needs to overcome is to break the habit of ‘gambling’ on their sports trades and instead treat it as a ‘risk’ for a set period of time / or set amount of percentage profit. Once either of these are met, then the sports trade should be closed and the profit banked. If you cross the line and leave the sports trade open, you are ‘sports gambling’ not sports trading.

In which case, getting into the mindset of a sports trader instead of a gambler, when sports trading requires each individual to come up with a strategy that they have worked out for when best to make a trade, and then once a sports trade has been opened, they need to have a clearly defined exit strategy for that particular trade in order to make sports trading as successful as possible.

I have therefore decided on my exit strategy from now on;

Get out of the particular sports trade in question once I’ve made 5% profit on my stake, or once 5 minutes time has elapsed.

This rule has been printed off on to an a4 piece of paper and stuck to the wall by my desk. The nag note on it has been shortened to Trade 5% or 5 Mins it has been printed off in large font and bold-ed to remind me of my sports trading strategy that I intend to keep to from now on.

It is of course for the successful sports trading positions that I have open, these rules are not strictly for the times when a particular trade has enjoyed the rub of the green during the period of time I’ve allotted, so not specifically for times the actions of the players on the pitch have done us a favour; or conversly, when lady luck has gone against us and our trade has gone in the red zone. We need at these times to think about exiting the trade and reducing our potential losses.

So basically I’m saying that when sports trading, in the few weeks since I’ve been doing it; I have discovered that unlike the usual method of taking a punt on a team and gambling on the result, we need to have an exit strategy for our sports trades regardless of the result, that will also leave us hopefully in profit regardless of the result.

What methods do you use when developing a strategy for sports trading? Is your sports trading strategy the same or different from mine percentage or time wise? Feel free to comment below with anything that you feel is relevant with regards to sports trading.

Apologies for not loading up an in-play football coupon for Sunday – had a day off and spent it with the family, so didn’t have any time for any football trading.
