Does anyone have any memorable trades from this last year they would like to share?

Not looking for peoples most profitable but ones that where done by out the box thinking, accident, got a bit lucky etc.........

I got lucky this month and ended up with £4.6k on one market. But I don't tend to post or talk about them as they are complete flukes, no skill involved apart from putting myself in the position to win that sort of money :)

Usually my favourite trades are much lower value but really well executed and thought out and they give me more satisfaction than an unexpected result.

would have been today if i let my 20k lay at 1.02 on the big bash run rather then bottling it and getting out at 1.10 :cry:

I'm a pre match football trader for the most part but probably 3 of my best trades this year were on special markets.

Tyson Fury to win SPOTY at 1000 and the majority out at an average 6.8. Vicky Pattison to win I'm A Celeb 9.8 to evens, and Russia to win Eurovision was something like 40 to an average 4.0.

I tend to scale out my trade. First exit is big enough to ensure I don't lose, second is when it's gone really well or I need to get out (start time etc.) third would be when it's gone really well and I've make a fortune. Good strategy. You don't regret an early exit and often get bit bonuses.
