Secret Betfair Strategies From The Gurus – Stakes Trading

The big secret of Betfair, which many people don’t realize for some time, is the profit potential of trading. With a good strategy and a bit of experience, I believe that trading is the real revolution in betting.

Betfair and other betting exchanges offer many advantages over traditional bookmakers, including:

1) The odds of ‘coming back’ are usually considerably better than most bookmakers. This is particularly the case with the more ‘outsiders’. For example, a horse with odds of 15 to 1 at a traditional sportsbook is likely to be offered at more than 18 to 1 or even 20 to 1 in a trade. Over time, this can make the difference between profit and loss!

2) The ability to ‘put’ a selection. This in effect makes us the ‘bookie’ and we can bet that our selection or team lose. This opens up a whole range of opportunities. Put another way, let’s take a 10 horse race. If you put one of the runners you have nine running for you instead of just one! However, I advise caution and you should follow a proven and profitable placement system to make money.

3) The range of bets available. Let’s take football or soccer betting as an example. Traditionally, we could bet that one team would win, maybe the match would end in a draw, or maybe the final score. We now have literally hundreds of betting markets and we can combine them to make a profit just like I do in my Alpha Football Trading system.

As far as Betfair trading is concerned, the key feature offered in in-play betting. This means that we can literally place bets during the match depending on what we expect to happen. We can react to goals scored, injuries and other things that happen and it becomes a live market to trade instead of placing a bet, sitting back and hoping for the best.

In Play betting is available on a wide range of sports and events, from horse racing to tennis, snooker and football. Betting bots are now available and can make transactions incredibly fast and again have improved profit potential. A bot is only as good as the strategy or system it is used for and this is the first step to successful trading.

The ultimate goal of the trader is to achieve a ‘green screen’ on Betfair. This means that he has reached a position where, whatever the outcome, he will make a profit. This is a fantastic thing to achieve, but using a solid system like Alpha Football Trader is quite easy to achieve. The amount he can win depends on the betting bank he has available and as his experience grows he will see the winnings increase.
