Hi,
I’m profitable in tennis and football trading, and I could potentially make around €2–3k/month, but I need the liquidity of Betfair.com, which I can’t access in my country.

Do you think moving to Malta is a good idea, or is it too risky?
For example, what are the chances that Betfair.com would close my account if I fully respect their rules?

If I start with a 3-month Airbnb stay, how long would it take from the day I arrive until I can use Betfair.com normally?

Is anyone else in the same situation as me?
Thanks.

"...and I could potentially make around €2–3k/month"

Before you even think about moving to another country, are you actually making that or not?

Making that move is stressful enough without putting pressure on yourself to 'potentially' hit an income goal.

As a minimum, you should have 6 months living costs in the bank as an emergency.

Best of luck,

Iambic.

Thanks for the reply.
Right now I’m making around 500/month because on Betfair.it I can’t trade many matches due to the lack of liquidity in the market, and also because I’m not a full-time trader at the moment. But my percentages are good, so I’m considering it.
