I have had a small go at trading recently on Betfair the market i tried was horseracing.At first i was only betting minimum stakes to see how i got on,after a couple of days i thought i had cracked it as i was able to green up every market i entered.
Well of course i soon increased my stakes and was doing fine until today when i put a bet on to win and waited for the price to ease slightly in order to lay the horse and take my small profit.
The market then moved against me and i was now faced with taking a small loss for me before the off,i let the bet run and decided i would try and close out the bet in running.
What a nightmare that turned out to be as my horse was over double the odds in running when i tried to bet it and take a massive loss now,fortunately for me the horse came from nowhere to win his race and my blood pressure has now returned to normal lol.
I think i will now leave trading to the pros and just enjoy my racing again.
