Finally i have cracked it, i have two ways to make money trading the horses, when people talk about the edge and you have not cracked it, your brain searches for something over the top when really it's very simple, in my case i have just stumbled across it, it's almost like i have screwed up so many times it has fallen into place. Yeterday i felt i waas very close with my method but ijust had to tweak it slightly, and thank's to a e mail i have received i can pull of small amounts on a regualr basis by using a method i have already tried but, but for smaller amounts. The edge can be a tool or rightly said by someone understanding the psycology of the other traders/punters which can make methods go tits up. Yesterday i was half frustrated now i'm so happy i have it.

You wouldn't give this "secret" away of course??

I did post a method earlier, but it was either removed or i screwed it up. Maybe it's against the traders code, and thinking about it, it may not be a good idea anyway.

Don't get over excited with your discoverings as shouldn't be depressed when things aren't going well. Both of them are dangerous states of mind that will cost you money.

Keep it to yourself but always be ready to adjust/tweak it because the market will change over time.

Good luck though, I'm glad you found it.

I just re read you original post.
If your"edge' in any way involves adding your losses to your next bet STOP NOW. This method know as Martingale is the way to the poor house. It may work in the short term, but eventually your luck WILL run out with disastrous consequences.

If it doesn't involve debt recovery, all the best. Keep it to yourself otherwise the edge will not exist. That's why it's called "The Edge" :mrgreen:

I don't want to discourage you, but read this blog post before you decide you've definitely got an edge:

Don't get me wrong - you may have an edge. But you may be being fooled by randomness, so beware... :)

There are times when I've thought I've had an edge, only to realise that my assumptions were false after losing lots of money, and hopefully you can avoid making that mistake. :)

Yes i have lost a lot of money thinking i had before, i will be the first to admit it if it's another failure, but i feel very certain lol. But if i had 20..000 i would make a killing on the footie.
