I’ve gone back to playing with Betfair over the Xmas period since the currency and stock markets have been closed over this time. For those who follow my blog, you will note that I’ve not placed a bet on Betfair for a while as I’ve been doing rather well with the Forex markets.

Also, I tend to bet on the most likely outcomes of the football matches but of late, we’ve been getting some odd results which meant that the system that I used suffered a little. However, looks like we’re back on track again with a nice 4 win winning streak in the last couple of days!

I am thinking of writing an ebook, let me know if you’re interested by dropping me a line on alan@makemesomemoney.co.uk

Anyway, here is a screenshot of my wins the last couple of days..

I have been rather these few months with getting married, 9-to-5 job and everything else that I’ve not spent much time updating the blog. However, I am still doing a lot of spreadbetting on the Forex and Indices and it’s all going well.

I haven’t been playing with Betfair all too much but this weekend, I thought I would return and play my usual strategy… bet on the favourites (yep, that’s it!). A simple yet effective strategy which has yielded me £185! I know that there are people who trade the sports markets (particularly Horse racing but that involves staring at the markets and that just takes so much time).

Anyway, here’s a screenshot of the bets and my winnings… happy days!

I haven’t mentioned much about my Betfair betting… or Betfair trading but it has been going quite well. So well in fact that my account has swelled 50% and also I have enrolled myself on a Betfair trading course by the Betting Exchange Academy held by Peter Webb.

I am extremely excited by the prospect of this as Betfair seems to be much more easier than financial trading. With my limited experience of Betfair and taking small punts, my account has grown quite nicely. I mention Betfair trading and Betfair betting as I believe that I am currently firmly in the latter… I am betting and not trading. Betfair trading is like the next level up from successful Betfair betting.. if I can trade the Betting exchanges then the potential profits could be huge!

Some Betfair trading blogs which have made interesting reading are:

http://adamheathcote.blogspot.com/ – this guy starts off with £5000 in his account and brings home over £1000 a day in profit. This is 20% increase on his account every day.. this is amazing. He is targetting £150k profits for 2009 and he’s 22 years of age!

http://thesportstrader.typepad.co.uk/ – although this hasn’t been updated for a while, this chap, Ray was making very good money.. not sure why he doesn’t write anymore, guess he felt time was better spent making money than writing about it!

http://thebetfairtrader.blogspot.com/ – this guy was was going to pay for his wedding with Betfair profits.. he succeeded! Now his focus is to turn his original pot of £1k to £101k… sounds crazy huh? He is just shy of £50k so far….

If you read these blogs, you can’t help but be skeptical.. how are these people making so much money in such a short space of time and is it really some sort of scam. My limited knowledge and sophisticated betting techniques have yielded 50% of my betting pot… it is certainly easier than trading! I seriously think it is possible once I get the skills to be able to understand these betting exchanges. I’ll let you know how I get on with the course…
