I'm scalping the draw but consider other opportunities at the same time.Alexander_99 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 04, 2021 1:19 amI assume you are mainly scalping the correct score / unders / the draw?
That's basically the reason why I decided to limit my liabilities to a fixed amount while experimenting with football. If you're backing horses at even money the maths is quite simple - get more than 50% winners and you've made a profit. Trading a volatile market like football, you can make a profit without realising the risks you were taking, like, backing horses at even money, getting 40% winners but just happening to have a big bet on one of your winners, leaving yourself with a false impression of your results.Alexander_99 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 04, 2021 1:21 amHad a difficult afternoon. At one time my bank was over 20% down, including a single match that took 11% from me.
All worked out nicely in the end. Finished the day with 18% bank growth.
It's pointless making money trading if your methods mean you can lose it all and more the next day! Just putting an appropriate % limit on your liability for each market and stabilizing your trading should put an end to difficult days like the one you described.
