One for admin: Being very new to Bet Angel and only playing with very small sums it's hard to tell what potential there is so I think it would be great to read about some success stories. Being new I'm not sure what info might be included as some folks could merely state "I've made £nnn since ...." but it could be more detailed to include, favourite methods, started off with £n, I spend n hours per day/week etc.

Many of us have made hundreds of thousands and some millions but you generally won't get people talking about specifics as it's generally sensible for you to have realistic expectations. It's taken some many years of work to get to where they are so it's not realistic to think you could just rock up and replicate that. Just like a normal job, everything takes a lot of work and the harder you work the more likely you are to succeed.

I suspect it's like any other business, there's as many different stories as there are people. Given the number of profitable traders, bad news stories probably outweigh the positive ones by about 12 to 1.

Thanks Euler, ShaunWhite, I'm just looking for an idea of what may be possible whilst bearing in mind one person's results will have no bearing on another. It's as I kick off very cautiously scalping 10 or 20p here and there. I'll have a look at the thread mentioned.

Just one other consideration, methods, banks, time etc all pale into insignificance when balanced against the effects of psychology. You can work 16hrs a day with a winning method and a huge bank and still lose money.

Thanks again Euler I'll have a look at those as well. Thanks too ShaunWhite, like I said earlier I'm only just kicking off making very small sums and just interested to see what folks have been doing. Psychologically it's occasionally nice to have a look at or be reminded of, what is possible.
