Question from dlarssonf from the betfair forum........

dlarssonf 28 Mar 13:14

when you scratch a trade mate, do you leave all your red on one person or do you red up equally. Some of your losses are huge and this may be a way to bring some of them down.

Good luck today


thanks for your input, always appreciated.

when I scratch a trade,my intention is always to close the trade without a win or loss. sometimes it is with a small green or a small red.
the big losses will always be huge,in numbers it will be between 600 and maximum about 1100. this will happen if a selection loses in 2 straight sets, without giving me a chance to scratch the trade.

thank you for the question and I hope I could answer your question.

cheers

dlarssonf from the betfair forum asked the following.......

21 Mar 15:46
well done again horselover, but can I ask why you didn't back novak as he fiited into your criteria


my answer

justified question. djoko is one of the players, I dont like to back because he is an oversensitive person. to often he is disappointing.it also depends on his opponent. I like to back his opponent if the opponent is the favourite.the same I mentioned in an older posting, about Davidenko. in short there are some players I avoid to back, but prefer to back their opponents if they are the favourite.I hope I made my point clear enough.

Nadal result.....................

Nadal = scratch trade with little green

I like to bet on Nadal and Federer, because they will not sell the match and will fight to the end and not give up.

they are always good for at least a scratch trade :)

today I had 6 scratch trades out of 7 matches.

Nadal ..................

I backed

Nadal 1.23

Nadal and Federer are the exceptions, I will back them under 1.25 and higher than 1.89 depending on the opponent.

Verdasco result..........

Verdasco = scratch trade 1st set 2:2

the reason I scratched it so early is, that I dont think that Verdasco has big chance to win and saying this, I have to say that the price for Verdasco is far to low, imho. that is the good thing if one can follow the match on tv.

Scratch Trade......................

people need to understand, that there are not many, that will post their selections before the start of the match. so there will be no aftertiming.

sure that people will laugh at you, if you lose. as it is right now with my last standings, a minus of ca 2000.

I have no problem with this. I also would like to proof that it also works without value bets. my bets are only favourites with price 1.25 - 1.89. it could be that sometimes there is a bet with value. but in general I think there is no value, when every bet is with a price of 1.25 - 1.89.

IMHO, I also think that the "scratch trade" is one of the most important trades. a lot of discipline is needed to handle the scratch trades.

This section is very important and you should read it over and overagain until everything mentioned here becomes second nature to you.You see, contrary to popular belief there are many systems, and alsomany good pro-gamblers who make a very good living from theirbetting activities (the bookies do not ALWAYS win). There couldalso be a hell of a lot more professional gamblers if they could masterthe arts of discipline, self -control, sensible staking and keepingrecords, effectively running there betting activities as a BUSINESS.This is where a huge number of people who have the potential to goPRO fall down.So what exactly is the definition of a Pro-Gambler? As far as Iunderstand you become a professional gambler when your soleincome is derived from your betting activities. Likewise, you are asemi-pro if a substantial part of your income is derived from yourbetting activities (such an example would be a tipster service whoearns part of his income from betting but also part from chargingclients for providing a betting service).There are many people who whilst aspiring to be a pro or semi-progambler, never reach their goal, not because they are not goodenough at picking winners, but simply they do not have the disciplineor self control to run their betting activities as a business. Likewise, Iam sure there are many people who have developed successfulsystems (although I can confidently say that I do not think there isany system out their that even comes close to being as effective as thisone in making consistently huge profits), but again lack the disciplineto use their potential to the full. Basically, they do not treat theirbetting as a business. This is the single most important factor indetermining your success or failure as a semi-pro or pro gambler.You MUST treat your betting activities as a BUSINESS and run itlike a BUSINESS. Could you imagine any successful businessworking without virtually any record keeping or without anycarefully thought out financial planning? This is exactly what manywould be pro-gamblers do. They may be very good at selecting orthey may have the best system in the world, but without aprofessional business-like approach they are doomed to failure.How can you possibly know how well or how badly you are doing ifyou do not log down every single bet that you ever make down, sothat at the end of the month you have a profit and loss balance sheet,just like any business would, yet many people bet on a whim withoutmaking any notes at all. They can only begin to guess how well orbadly they have done by the end of the month depending on howheavy or light their pocket feels. Yet keeping DAILY RECORDS ofall your selections is NOT difficult or time consuming but it ISessential in order to help you on the way to becoming a semi pro orpro gambler.What about financial planning for your business? Again this issomething simple to do but what most potential pro-gamblers fail todo. Many people bet with the amount of money they have available atthat time. If they have been to the pub too often and it is the end ofthe month they may only have £2 on what may be a potentially greatbet. At the same time if it is just after payday they may have £100 onanother potentially great bet. In truth, both bets may be as good aseach other, and how do you know which one is going to win? Say, forexample the bet you had £2.00 on comes romping home at 3-1. Youare kicking yourself that you only had £2.00 on it, because you havespent the last week in a semi-coma after spending all your hardearned cash on bitter or lager. Not that spending lots of money onbitter or lager is a bad thing (As I can vouch for by the size of mystomach, although at my age I am actively working this off, but I amrather straying from the point here). The mistake you have made isonly having £2.00 on a 3-1 winner and then after payday having £100on a sure thing that gets beat by a short head. Unlucky?DEFINITELY NO. In fact, over the course of the two bets you haveselected, you should have done very well. In fact these were veryskilful selections, one winner at 3-1, and one loser that got beat by ashort head.Now lets see what exactly the same selection process would haveproduced if you had been running your betting activities as abusiness. Without a fancy staking plan, lets say you are staking thesame amount of money on every selection, you value both betsequally (i.e. you expect to win money otherwise you would not placethe bet in the first place).If you had placed £2.00 on each bet the end result would have been a£4.00 PROFIT.(£2.00 x 3-1 (4.0) = £8.00 less £2.00 stake =£6.00 Less £2.00 on thelosing bet = £4.00 profit.)If you had placed £50 on each bet the end result would have been£100 PROFIT.If you had placed £100 on each bet the end result would have been a£200 PROFIT.However you placed £2.00 on the bet that won and £100 on the betthat lost, the end result being a -£96.00 LOSS.Instead of being £4.00 in profit, £100 in profit or £200 in profit youlost £96.00 that you probably could ill afford to lose. This is theimportant thing. You lost this not by bad selections, bad luck or anyother excuse, but purely from bad planning and bad management.You lost money because you were led by circumstance, (the amountof money that you had in your pocket at the time), rather than takingcontrol and running your betting activities as a business.A £4.00 Win is better than a £96 Loss if that is your affordablebudget. You see the important thing here is not how much money youhave on each bet (although obviously it is desirable to have as muchas possible), but that your bets are placed within the limits of youravailable BETTING BANK. A betting bank is the amount of moneythat you should set aside for your betting activities BEFORE a singlebet has been placed.This should be money that you can afford to lose. With betting, aswell as with any business, there are no guarantees howeverwonderful a system is or how good your selection process is, and Ihave yet to come across any form of betting that does not involve alosing run at some stage or another. A betting bank plannedcorrectly eliminates the heartache of the losing runs and keeps yourbusiness afloat, whatever the size of the betting bank you start with.The size of the betting bank is not the important thing. You canalways increase your stakes in line with the growth of your bank, butwhat you must do is start with a betting bank and stick to it. Neveragain place a bet on the strength of the money you have available inyour pocket at the time.Now that we have established that you need a betting bank to startwith, what should this be? Without stating the obvious, it should bewhat you can afford. Never bet with money that you can’t afford tolose. If it is a choice between a loaf of bread and starving or £2.00 onthe 3:50 at Kempton, go out to the bakers and buy that loaf of breadotherwise you will probably be starving hungry by the end of theevening.Say, for example, you can put aside £1,000 to run your betting as abusiness. What you do is simply divide this amount of money by thenumber of bets that you will think you will need to cover a worstcasescenario, losing run. This is your bank, your working capital foryour business, not money to be frittered away in the hope that it willbring you instant riches. You should safeguard your bank and alwayserr on the side of caution. Without it always there you will not have abusiness; this is the first and single most important thing in becominga semi-pro or pro gambler. I personally would advise working outyour stake on each bet using a betting bank between 1/20th and 1/50thof your bank. This is just my personal opinion and I would alwaysfavour the 1/50th of your bank over anything else. For example, youhave a £1,000 bank. If you are betting 1/20th of this bank you shouldbe placing £50 Level Stakes on each bet (We will talk more aboutstaking in a moment). Your bank would only be wiped out if youhave 20 losers in a row or several small losing runs together, ie: 5losers, then 1 winner then another 5 losers etc. As I mentionedpreviously, personally I would go for the 1/50th option, meaning yourbank would only be wiped out in a real catastrophe, and if it did getwiped out you should really then be questioning the system you areusing or selection process, whether it be your own or from a tippingservice. Whatever system or selection process you follow, you shouldnearly always be safe here. This really does almost virtually eliminateany BAD LUCK factor, unless you suffer from outrageously badluck, and I am afraid I do not have an answer to that one. This wouldmean that £1,000 bank, will allow you to place £20.00 stakes on eachselection.Whilst this may not seem very exciting or adventurous it is safe, andrunning a business and making money should be steady and safe,well planned and thought out with MINIMAL RISK. Leave the risktaking to the amateurs. Whilst they may get more excitement theirbank balance will probably never be very healthy, whereas runyou’re your betting business properly, and you will be nicelysurprised how quickly your bank balance could be increasing. Whatwe are talking about here is running your betting activities as abusiness. Plan & think in a business way. This is VERY, VERYimportant and I hope that this section has demonstrated to you whyit is that only ever a few people reach the elite top group ofprofessional gamblers. If you can master discipline, self control,staking & financial planning, keeping records of all your bets, andrunning your betting as a business then you really are more than halfway there to joining the elite: The Professional Gambler. With this,great rewards await you in the fact that, not only can it be the road toreal wealth, but also to real freedom. Freedom-from working forsomeone else. Freedom to spend more time with your friends andfamily and those that you love. Freedom to enjoy life to the full.A combination of a great betting system such as this one, togetherwith the discipline and business-like approach required to implementit, and run it successfully, can really lead to great things. You have inyour hands a truly great system; you have in your hands real powerto take control and determine your own destiny. But with greatpower comes great responsibility. The only thing in the way of yoursuccess is you. Run your betting as a BUSINESS and, as I saidpreviously, it does not matter what level you start at. As long as youmake that start.

General Info

My selections are without any analysis. I am sure that with analysis,one could do much better than me.

I will select only favourites with price 1.25 to 1.89

it is a mix of a prematch bet on the favourite, trying to predict the actual event,
the exit will be inplay with a discretionary trade, with keeping an eye on the quotes and the panic behaviour = price movements.

The aim is to exit inplay.

I will start with 600 prematch on the favourite and with a max loss limit at about +/- 1100

with a win trade
with a scratch trade
with a loss trade (that is not avoidable) but this loss trade will be limited at about +/- 1100

please, there is no need to attack me if I lose or win. Please dont follow my selections, because You dont know my exit startegy.

comments and questions are welcome.
