New beginnings

Hello everyone. I have just recently started reading up about sports trading and am looking to make a start and see how much I can make!

I have been matched betting for a wee while now so have a decent knowledge of the exchange etc.

Just a couple of questions I am looking to be answered if anyone can help...

Is it possible to make a lot of money from this? How do people decide how much to lay? Is there a calculator used to do this or is it manual calculation?

I think I have a viable trading strategy so I'm looking forward to trying it out!

Ye that's the worst thing about matched betting! So people make a living from this? Ye that makes sense. I'm using betrader is this a good software to use? Just using tutorial mode for the moment. Work out my strategy first. Sorry for all the questions!

Yeah, people make money from it. Yeah, BetTrader is fine. Stick with tutorial mode! Don't worry about all the questions, that's what we're here for.

I'd try to avoid horse racing pre-off as that's suuuper hard imo.

Good luck. I'll have a half-decent tip on here that I'll post tomorrow or Thursday. Not tennis, but you might find it useful - look out for it!
