I know its not much, but quite happy to have made £4.21 trading on the soccer market last two days, over 5 games in total, with zero losses, got soccer mystic only 2 days ago.
I dont know why but I feel so much more comfortable trading on soccer than I do horses, I think due to being more attached with the sport. I am going to continue at the low stakes I am using for now and see how it goes.
I do enjoy the horses but its pretty mental, I will have a little shot today again, feel more like I am gambling with this though at present. Like I do follow the signs, but I am 98% away from actually being confident in what I am doing.

Well done. There so many different markets and so many of them you should focus on what you feel comfortable with. Even small amounts add up to large ones over the course of the year and when you get comfortable with that you can slowly raise stakes.
HI Shaun,
One thing you could try is to trade the game till you have a small green, like you have been doing, say a fiver on each team....then use that £5 to trade the losing team (Usually at biggish odds). If the winning team score again, OK you win nothing but you lose nothing either.
If the losing team equalise then you can trade out for a nice profit. All upside, no downside.
On Monday I was trading the Man City Game V Liverpool, I had something like a tenner if City or the draw and £1900 if Liverpool were to win (Who at the time were 2-0 down). It looked very unlikely that Liverpool were going to win but all I needed was a goal from them and the odds would have dropped signifcantly. Of the small number of games I traded over the last few months, you would be surprised how many teams make a come back.
You dont even have to trade the whole game..you can get yourself in a nice position then watch the game...and I can tell you; it makes it sooooo much more interesting when you have a vested interest in it!!
Anyway good luck!
regards
Peter

Hi Shuan,
I agree with Peterle. A good example was the Villa (I think Reading) FA Cup match when Villa came back from 0-2 to win. They were priced out in the teens at half time down two goals.
I had a similar match where I weighted my profit (£175.00) on the next goal with Utd looking to score imminently. It unfortunately did come to fruition, however I had explained my poition to my Mum(!) who then proceeded to watch the match until the final whistle whilst jumping up and down wishing for a next goal. Nothing gained nothing lost but good enjoyment for myself and Mum watching the match!
Why am I watching football with my Mum you may asked! There's a joke in there! But you get my point anyway.
Well doen Shaun and good luck mate.
