What was your stakes on these screenshots?
£2 on the back side (sometimes£4) and aiming for a max libility of -7 on the lay if that triggers first, although as stated above, it can often go less than -7 due to the speed it places bets etc

I had quite a few other winning races Marc, I just didnt include them in the screen shot (I had some losers too)
It was an OK day yesterday (I honestly havent even looked at the total P&L ’s yet). I try not to set myself an average as such.

I hope this serves as a motivation to people, particularly those starting out. I certainly know that when I was starting I used to see similar results from people such as Adam Heathcote and it pushed me on during the bad times, because I knew what I was trying to achieve was possible.

Just had a great month which included my best trade ever profit wise.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again :)

Now that's a screenshot AMX

In fact, that's the only time I'm ever likely to have a wank that contains an image or reference to Carla Suarez Navarro

Dallas has created some basic bots for you to develop, so never been a better time (by the way, if it helps; I was looking through my P&L's this morning and I found that I was most in profit on these auto strategies on the 17-20th Jan. Because I keep detailed notes I was able to wind back to see what changes I had made a long the way and I corrected them today). You nearly always have to stray away from the beaten track to test new things; but make sure you leave some breadcrumbs to find your way back
In two months time, you wont remember of you had a 0.3 Fil/Kill or a 0.9 for eg, so keeping notes is paramount
Good Luck

Shows how far I am away from ever cracking it, I don't even understand what this screenshot is supposed to be showing.

Is it 3 different strategies?

It appears to show 3 different outcomes for the same race when the winner has reached 1.01. Does each automation carry the same maximum liability of £7?

Its actually three acounts of mine Guy showing the profits over fours races. When I built the strategy, each is a slight variation. the idea being that if one produces a loss the others will negate it and visa versa, sometimes all three win (and fail too). Overall all three in profit at the end of the month
I had a eureka moment last night (i think!), so keen to explore that today. It should limit the losses but continue to produce nice profits

Fair play, thats an amazing result Mister X.

Personally i like it when other traders share their big wins and screenshots. If Messi scores a great goal at the weekend you want to see it, if a trader makes a great trade I think its good to see that too.

Do the tennis traders price up games themselves using statistical models and other stuff or just trade with their knowledge of the players and a few relevant stats? Looking to add another sport to trade. Also what's the variance like in tennis results compared to say horse racing?

Great results Mr X btw!

Well done PeterLe and MisterX, some brilliant results.

PeterLe, you mention £2 back stakes and in-play lays of upto £7; without giving away your strategies, could you possibly expand further about if this favours the longer priced runners winning?

I'm intrigued by this as I have spent a LOT of time tweaking similar strategies of late.

Regards to all.

I'd prefer no to say too miuch as you can appreciate but I like to play in areas in play that are hard to be manipulated...
