Lack of soccer on TV makes it risky to scalp. So what media set-up do we need? Well we need a match which is going to be shown live, majority matches are shown on Sky with regular matches on ESPN and also a few matches on BBC, ITV and channel 5.
I would recommend not using HD channels, seems to be extra delay on broadcast compared to non HD channels.
When is the best time in a match scalp? Not always, but in most matches the first 15 minutes, when sides are settling into a game. I find when the ball goes out for a goal kick or injury is being attended to is when i will put in my trade, if we can combine this with a gap in the market all the better.
With the weekend a couple of days away I hope I will be able to raise my bank with my scalping.
Next time I will give you a insight into trading software.

Using Bet Evo trading software with Betfair, I decided to have a go at scalping. Starting with £20 bank, I will use whole bank to gain 1 tick profit, I use tick offset tool on Bet Evo and also tick hedge to gain instant green across market.
Aim is to make 3% of running total inc commision starting with £20, i will reach a limit were stakes will be to big to make it safe to scalp.
Tonight traded England v Ghana 1.5 goal market. Backing under, then laying 1 tick later. Should of took no more than 15 minutes to gain 3%, I made a few mistakes, but managed to get my profit at 35 minute mark.
New Bank £20.70.

Started on Monday trading live with a new in running trading on the horse racing. With a bank of £20, I will use to £2 stakes on 3 horses in each race, idea is to capture profit on downward trend when a horse is running well.
Have to say the first three days have been hard, never the less I have made a profit and my new bank stands at £21.59. When i get to £30 I will increase to £3 stakes and so on.
I'm a bit disjointed with my recording of results on other systems I am using, so from next Monday I will record my Football results from a Lay The Draw system.
At some point I will put up some screen shots, just need to identify a way of blanking out sensitive information.
On the survey front, no extra rewards to report at the moment.

Bad day yesterday, as a result a have severed ties with one of my trading services. I have signed up to another one, early days but that seems promising.
Right today started trading horses today for small stakes and made a small profit of £1.88 (drum roll please).
Its using a concept I read about on another forum, we will see how this goes over the next few weeks and if I'm confident its a winner I will print some more details and maybe a screen shot or two of my winnings.
I mentioned in my profile that I also did surveys for a bit of cash, today I received a £5 Amazon voucher from "the clubhouse", you can only join by invite, so its no good me posting a link.
Tonight a few footy trades on, so I will report on those tomorrow.
Profit to date for week is £6.88

Welcome to my first post, today i am going to do sports trading using lay the draw technique and other strategies.Betfair is the exchange I use most, this is down to liquidity rather than the commission they charge.
So tune in later or tomorrow for around up profit and losses.
