Had my first proper go at a bit of sports trading last night (excluding that first test fail I did)
I was working late on call for my real job and had a look at a Brazilian Cup game.
Arsenal FC vs Fluminense
Fluminense looked like they were going to score so I laid Arsenal FC early for £10 at 3.2 (£22 liability) then when Fluminense scored I backed them for £4.71 at 8 giving me £32.97 if they won.
Fluminense won the game so I walked away with £5.29 profit (see screen shot)
I could have made more by holding out for a bigger price on Arsenal FC, they went to 12 at one point but they also pulled a goal back a dropped so I did the right thing.
I used www.betfair.com and the Cash out option... I'm yet to use Geek Toy in anger, I'm waiting to learn the principles before taking on the tool
So I'm off to a start with my Sports Trading... will be looking to make small amounts as often as I can.
Here is how the challenge is looking so far.
