Today is very similiar to yesterday for me.
Couldnt get going at all in yesterday's afternoon session but done very well in the evening racing.
So far today its the same.
Market Manipulation
I've had a hard long slog on betfair. Its taken me around 2 and a half years of hard work to get to the point where I am profitable. I've spent nearly all my spare time studying the markets, going down dead ends over and over. I started working nights to have more time available, and have survived on very little sleep for a long time. I have worked my ass off to understand the markets I trade and develop the right mindset...rubysglory wrote:

I started making good money around the start of the year, and had plans to go full time in the beginning of next year. I just had to get all my financial failsafes in place...
I wont be going fulltime now. Even though I'm miles away from the 250000, with no guarantees of when the threshold gets lowered, I cant stake my future on it. Sure Betdaq could become an alternative, there could maybe even be an american exchange one day... But like Andy said, I cant plan on could.
So for me now, I'm just going take take what I can out of the markets when I can, and focus on other avenues.
Betfair have well and truly killed the dream...
Been a strange day in running too today...
I've seen this pattern before..it is almost as if someone is holding the market in running..and you just know that they will be stung. I think they just did in the 17:30 and 17:40
It has a pattern of doing this for a couple of days and then back to normal - very strange
The markets seem to free up in the evening too during these cycles..so maybe it is someone (or team) who have very large banks who are playing the percentage game??
Anyone else noticed this??
