Multiple streams of income - Betfair

23 Jul, 2008  No Comments

I like the idea of multiple streams of income and my blog was meant to detail all the stuff I get upto which is money making. Though the majority of my blog is dedicated to my trading (that is something which I have most passion in), I have dabbled and do dabble in other streams of income, one such stream is through Betfair trading.

Something I did a good few years ago was to turn £100 into £300 using Betfair betting only £5 antes. I was careful and calculated and it was simple and successful strategy. However, I ruined it by then changing my strategy, going for higher risk but higher potential rewards and also losing a lot playing Betfair Poker.

There was also a blog called The Betfair Trader which chronicled one guys aim to pay for his wedding with Betfair profits. Incidently, I am getting married next year also and the wedding budget has scared the living daylights out of me already.. I believe that I can replicated my success the first time round betting with Betfair and sticking to the initial strategy. However, I am going to start off with £500 this time and see how I get on.

Anyway, I started this morning and here are my first days results so far, ok, it’s not much to start with but it is a 3% return on my pot in one day. If I can repeat this result each day (without compounding), taking 30 days (as you can bet everyday, Saturday and Sundays included), I would make £450 which is almost a 100% return on my cash in the month. Ok, that probably isn’t going to be possible in 1 month as I find that I am always short on time to do things but I do expect that I should be able to double my money in 3 months on this initial pot. As my stake grows, I will bet more and hope the reap the profits.

Sports trading - my results

30 Dec, 2007  No Comments

I thought I’d try some sports trading the other day using Betfair. In the past, I have managed to triple my starting pot using Betfair but then lost it all when I played with their Betfair Poker application.. keep away from that, it’ll eat all your money!

Anyway, I thought I would give it a try in the Horse Racing market. The strategy was quite simple, watch the trends in the price and when it looks like it would win, the put on a bet for that horse to win. To minimise risk, where possible, I would lay the same horse when the price was favourite to generate a situation where you can either eliminate any loss to your account (you don’t lose money if the horse wins or loses) or at least, minimise it.

I must admit, I’m not very experienced with this but I understand the concepts. Anyway, I started off with just £2 bets and as I got a little better, I put on £4 bets. 14 bets later I ended with 11 cash wins, 2 losses and 1 scratch trade, I ended up with £23.62 profit!! Excellent!

See my cash statement below (click for larger link):

The UK horse racing market stops at 4pm GMT and then then there is the US market. However, the US market doesn’t seem to offer the cash volumes as the UK market so I didn’t bother trading it.

I started at 2pm GMT but the market for horse racing in the UK starts around 12pm. If I have time tomorrow, I’ll go in a bit larger and start at 12pm if I can. At some point, I’ll do a video so you can see how I am doing this for those interested.
