:lol:

I'm always concious not to interfere with debate on the forum which is why I wont post sometimes to certain threads. I don't want people to think I'm trying to bully an opinion on them.

Ultimately the forum has some really well established traders and market participants and I really think we should get more out of it. All of us should share opinions, disagree, agree and debate as we see fit.

Nobody is ever 100% right or wrong, but sometimes I think the forum misses the point a bit.

That thread that ran about a video I put up. People deliberated the merits of it, but nobody actually ended up asking the right question. Which was, 'how best can I use this strategy?'. I would have happily offered an opinion at that point. But waited and waited, nobody asked!

Any chance you will go back to your roots October 2014 and visit Manchester Peter? Im back for a short holiday and would enjoy going on your course again but hook is to far! :roll: I think you owe it to Manchester. Probably shocked you into getting your arse in gear and decided for a better life!

No offence to people of manchester. Well the blue side at least!

Just out of interest Feru (Jeff) have you ever been on any of the courses? If not, would you like to go on them?

Hi Peter,

Regarding your recent post above and the 'lay strategy' you posted in a different thread, I was one of the people to respond as it really intrigued me as such an approach appeals to me as I had had many years of success effectively doing a similar thing but backing overpriced horses rather than laying low.

I really wanted to ask that sort of question you were waiting for someone to ask, but as a relative newbie to BetAngel/trading and this forum I didn't think it would be appropriate and wasn't sure you would think it cheeky of me to ask.

So if your still up for chating about it, I for one would love to have a better understanding of how you were qualifying those selections. I totally understand that If I were to lay horses in each race at the point when they are overbacked versus their true chance of winning, I would end up with a healthy profit.

Cheers
Martin

Hi Steven

I have known some very successful traders, a couple of whom I am still in regular contact with. I have exchanged ideas with them privately and learned from them (in one case, in person as well as by email). Thanks guys (you know who you are). :D

However, I've never paid to attend a course. I might do at some point (although I wouldn't be able to afford it on my current minimum wage job! :lol: ), but at the moment when I do trade my focus is on applying what I think I know rather than acquiring new skills and knowledge.

Jeff

Put me down for 250 quid then Jeff towards a day. I'll pay it direct to which ever course you choose. Maybe if the guys running the course see how much you have brought to the forum over the years they could also make an offering! I know they are running a business but I'm sure there is no one more than you that a lot of people would like to get a break.

I wouldn't usually encourage anyone to trading by the way, but I know you have been at it a while and probably level headed so I'm happy to contribute with no strings attached.

Got a vison of Peter and Mugs frantically calling their PR agencies now and having a conference call with BF to confirm if they should make an offer or sit on the fence to make a counter offer with each other! Come on Peter, give him a break. Dont squeeze the other 150 quid out of me.

To be honest to Jeff, it's not the knowledge acquisition he is struggling with.

I had the same toils back in the late 90's when I was trying to trade short term on the financial markets.

ill be back in October i think. Especially if PW goes back to his roots in Manchester to help out us workers!

Im sure every time the pint was nearing the bottom last time we met you needed the bog! No wonder you win on this game and i lose. Picking money off the floor as Jolly would say!

I do like Jeff on the forums and I think hes a top bloke from his contributions. I think he wants to crack this as much as anyone out there and maybe even with his outstanding education, you sometimes need a push to know what you are doing is correct. I think mugs and PW offer totally different things to be honest. I think with PW you are more likely to learn about short term markets (1 tick), where as with mugs games i think you are more likely to learn about value. Please feel free to correct away. Just going off what ive read and seen over the years.

When you read threads on here you can see sometimes over 1000+ people reading and quite often there is about 5 of us talking crap! Me, Zen, Naff, peterle.... etc... so i presume people like Jeff with his comments even though hes in semi retirement are enjoyed. Hes part of the reason forums like this stay alive so im happy to assist.

I've done pretty much everything in the market, so it's likely I'd be able to comment on a very wide variety of things. I currently have nine different strategies on the go.

Would it be the start or end of October. I will probably be out of the country towards the end.

Don't take my comments wrong way.

I just get the feeling that mugs would put a back or lay 8 mins out and sit on it, judging by his vids. Whereas I think I remember you said in the past you would sit back on your bots and only manage your selling position and would put 100s of trades through a market. So I'm guessing your bread and butter would be short term moves.

A lot of people spend a lot of time trying to figure out why a price gives or goes at resistant points for a few ticks on horses but quite often there is easier money out there. I think mugs would get this across more is my feeling.

I've made money just simply off your golf strategy you use to do. Therefore, its paid for my course just off them. So people that say you can just do it yourself should think out of the box. I would have never earned off that for 5 years no matter how many hours I stared at my screen.

As for Oct, hoping to be back for most the month but not confirmed yet. If your up north we can get peterle to spark up the BBQ and I'll get the beers in to keep him happy. ;)

I'm about 50/50 I guess between short term trades, seconds, and long term trades, minutes.

Both are actually linked at a market level. But both require differing approaches to be most effective.
