THE END

2011-11-04T17:52:00.000-07:00

unfortunately I must give up trading. I just don`t have the time that it takes to be doing trading. So I gave it all up. It`s more important thing to do than devoting all my time to trading. I have not given up all gambling though. I have now become a punter. I have one backing and one laying system.

I have not paper traded it. But have had good experience with laying system before. The reason why I am doing this is because I can now put in some Lays whenever it suites me. I am really looking forward to it. Keeping track in my newly made staking plan in excel.

I am planing if I get time to it I will start a new blog where I wil post when I feel like it. But then under a new name.

Anyway I did not reach my target for my last trading month. I managed in total 5% for the month. And thats great. Beats the bank.

Good luck you all stay green

Nothing grows to heaven

Well of course my loss had to come. And when it came of course it was not alone ;) Its inevitable, it had to come. Anyway there was one loss that really bothers me. I had positioned my self in the market earlier in the day. I was pretty sure that the trade would go well. Then after work a buddy invited me out for beers. I accepted and forgot all about my trade. I lost a lot of money there. I always trade out when it goes against me. But this time I did not get a chance. That hurt a lot. That was my second loss for the month. The first was me when I had becoming greedy because of all the profit. I trade a match that did not fit my system. I lost, but I managed to trade out so the loss was minimal.

Anyway the positive is that I am still up 22% this month. If I manage +20% I am happy and will consider depositing more money. I am almost trading only my own system at the time. This is because it is a simple system . Anyway this was just a small update. I will come with better posts later.

I feel this blog helps me with my discipline. And that is great.

The good form cotinues

2011-09-07T00:26:00.000-07:00

Even if my beloved Norway lost against Denmark I managed to get a perfect green and make money. Even my scalping on Bosnia-Belarus match made me a nice little profit. Yeat a perfect day. I even tried some high odds. I layed Sweden at 1.02 odds. They did not score until later second half. I even tried laying Enland but never got out of the trade. Well well I did not lose much.

For those who knew who the Psychof people was, I guess you to was fascinated by their results? I have lots of screenshot of their trading. I captured lots of them while they were active. I am now wondering i my Tippus83 system is somewhere near what they were doing. I see I use the same markets. I also have great results (so far). But it have only gone 6days of this month and I am now starting to lose my common sence and my greed have taken over control. That is why I will not trade until the weekend matches. If I can stay away. Today i`s no problem because there are no interesting matches. I guess my girlfriend will appreciate me devoting a bit more time to her and not the trading. Although she likes it when the money is coming in. I am up 45% now. Let`s hope it continues.

I know i`m hazardous when I`m stating I know how Psychoff was making money and I am doing the same. I guess it`s way to early to claim that I have figured it out. And I guess I will never find out. And to tell you the truth it dos`nt mean anything if I have figured it out or not. As long as the money comes in I don?t really care if it`s the psychof way or not. It`s just a thought I had one day when I was looking trough the screenshots.

Anyway yesterdays results:

What to do when things goes to well?

2011-09-05T13:59:00.000-07:00

This month have started way to good. I am afraid what to do. Should I cool down to prevent me from loosing all contact with reality. In these 5days this month my bank have growth with 35%. In my head that is absolutely brilliant and unrealistic to expect to get each month. I guess if you asked a broker he would be really happy with this number.

But when I am in such a winning spree.(needless to say my strike rate is 100% so far this month). I feel untouchable. I feel like everything I choose to trade on will win. And in this phase I feel like I really have something to learn. Everyone have had them. And often here mistakes are done. When you are not doing so well you pull yourself together, and do a loth more research and so on. At least I do. I guess in this phase it´s just as important to keep up the good research work and never look back. When the losses comes, and trust me it will. I must be prepared. It`s easy when everything goes as planed. It`s how I deal with the losses that will prove if I am fit to be a pro trader. Which eventually is my goal. What I am really happy with is that I have got this good numbers when there have been few good matches. I do not like the International games. But maby I should choose matches like that. Maybe that is my thing? Who knows the future will show.

It`s also important to never lose comon sence and a realistic view of the situation. Because the loosing streak will eventually come. And then It´s important to keep calm and not do anything rash. Now I will just try to enjoy being on top.

It have only gone 5days of the month, and it is a real posability that in the end of the month I am 35% down in stead of profit. I guess we´ll just wait and see.

In advance I must apologize for my bad English. So far I have not managed to turn on my English dictionary. Either in Blogspot(if there are any) or Chrome browser or My OS.

Anyway take a look at my screenshot below. I just hope it will stay until the lasth of the month ;)

Great day today

2011-09-05T13:52:00.000-07:00

Well I had a great day today. I also had a look at my spredsheat. What have worked for me so far is scalping and my own system I`m testing out. I have been lucky but I am constantly developing new rules to adapt. I am starting to get somewhere. Anyway I will post more about the system I just need more research.

You can see below how I have done it. I called my system Tippus83 ;)

Just an update

2011-09-03T10:25:00.000-07:00

I am still alive.

Have just updated my profit/loss section. Nothing to brag about, but profit is profit ;) To tell you the truet I am actually happy with the results. I made some mistakes I will not do again. I did not trade out when I KNEW i should have done it. I got really gready and lost way more than planned. If I had not done that mistake I would have been around +30%.

Well Great start for the month I am up 16%

I will write more on my blog, but I just don´t have enough time. I will try to Priorities it more.

Lazy days

2011-08-25T00:25:00.000-07:00

I had some busy days on Saturday and Sunday where I traded almost anything I could find on TV. That is a lot of hours. And when monday came I was sick and tired of trading so I had a break until CL Udinese-Arsenal. Managed to get in 27% on that correct score trade. Anyway I see that trading football is really time consuming, and I am looking into new strategies that fits my life better. Cause after all the way I have been trading before can barely be called trading. It`s more like gambling. The real traders are the ones that trade on horse racing before the race starts.

Anyway I have made a spreadsheet now and put in my data so far for August. What I have made most money on is my own strategy and The Clint. It`s not much money but it profit. And that`s what important. I have always said if I make money two months in a row I will deposit more money and go for big bucks. ;) Now let`s just see how it goes.

Below is a picture of my last trading. Let`s hope it continues.

I also haven`t updated my blog so often lately. I will keep updating because it helps me, to keep my mind clearly on the goal. And that is to make good money on football trading. But it is a long term goal ;)

Follower or on your own

2011-08-19T15:15:00.000-07:00

Leader, or on your own.

What kind of person you are decide if you’ll make money on Betfair in the long run. At least that’s what I think. I have followed some people now. They make money and if I copy exactly what they do I to will make money in the long run. But to be addicted of some pros is not healthy. To be able to think on your own create own systems, make own decisions when you need to is crucial to become a pro. By all means investigate, learn from the best. But do not copy.

Well that is what I have done the last days, with different luck. Every trade I risk 6% of bank. I have never lost 6% on any trade yet. That was until a couple of days ago. I did it twice, and it was a consequence of my research of my own systems. I learned a lot from it. I love to combine markets up against each other. The best so far is to trade on O/U2.5 goals and correct score. I did try to combine Match Odds with Correct score, without any luck. This may be good if your team gets on the right side If not you are pretty much fucked. To many scores to cover. In other words I learned the hard way. :D

Another strategy I have been testing seems to be more promising. But I guess I`ll just wait and see. Way to early to make any conclusions.

There are many strategies out there. If you join www.tradingfootball.eu you`ll find some strategies. Some are pretty good. I have come to the conclusion to focus on 3off the strategies. I recommend their site. It’s a great place to learn, and it seems like decent people. Another guy I have got in touch with is Handy Andy visit his blog here. A really nice fellow who got a great strategy called Homer. It is really profitable. He helped me with a great spreadsheet, which he sells at his blog. But be aware it does not work on a mac. Anyway tae a look at my screenshots below to see how it`s gone lately. Notice some of the biggest loss. That’s me trading on my own:) What was my biggest mistake was without any doubt Fulham match. What was I thinking? I guess I wasn’t. One of the problems was that I was not focused, and I tried to do several things at once. Not smart. It’s difficult enough to trade for profit. Tomorrow I have dedicated to trading. Lets hope for big green screen. Good luck folks. :D

Trading VS Personal Life

2011-08-16T15:32:00.000-07:00

Hi

I have sense the season started wanted to trade MANY matches, but my personal life have stopped me. There is always something else to take care off. And there is other people to take into account. So what to do? I have tried to trade with my iphone using Ibetmate. That was a disaster, and i will not do that again. I was planing to make the spreadsheet today, but of course something came up. So i bought me a finished one from HandyAndy.
Typical that it didnt work on my mac. I refuse to use anything else than a MAC (fanboy). My excel did not support macros. Anyway the balance of social life and trading is a hard one. Recently I have had my focus on trading. But that is not fair to my girlfriend. So I wish I was s full timer. I just imagine it would make it easier.

When it comes to trading, I am really tempted to raise my stake a bit. But I guess what matters is ROI compared to stake. And so far I am really happy with the ROI. At the moment i never risk more than 6% on any trade. I have no idea whats normal, but that seems to work for me. And I am not sure what my average ROI pr trade is. But I will find out as soon as I get the time to make me a simple spreedsheat. If anyone have a good free one, I would be grateful. Just mail me here:Tippus83 After the season started I have not lost yeat on any match, except the one I tested on my Iphone. So let´s hope the good work continues.

Some screenshots for todays trading below.

Managed some trades today.

2011-08-14T11:27:00.000-07:00

Had a great weekend. Was on holliday, and tried to trade with my Iphone without success. It wasnt even a wifi connection on the cottage I was on. ;) Lost 6% of my bank on that trade (Aalesund-Rosenborg). Did not manage to trade out. Anyway had to use all sunday to fix it. And no I am even and ready for the new season. See screenshot below for the weekend.

I will create a spreadsheet and a better overview of my bank so if there anyone that wants to follow me and see how it goes, they can do it on this blog. More to come.

Anyway United managed 3point, I was`nt impressed. De Gea looked weak. Anyway early season lots can happen. Let`s just hope King Kenny and the rest get themselves together. Need a good start.

Miss kick off

2011-08-11T23:19:00.000-07:00

Well the thing I have looked forward to the last months I will not be able to see. This weekend I`m away. Maybe I will travel away next weekend as well. I`ll test out "Ibetmate" for my Iphone, while on holiday ;)

Because of this fact, I had some few bucks on Sheffield match today. Just to test out my form ;)

Got i LITTLE profit, but profit is profit. What matters is ROI, which was=28% and that`s not so bad.

Well good luck for the guys that get the chance for football on Saturday.

Tippus83

Small little profit.
