But as he points at Syria had a player sent off and were only winning 1-0. I watched his video with Fiorentina where he made £750 from £20.


I can't see why someone would back a match for 1.01 when the team is only 1 goal up.

Well this explains everything I guess, no wonder you had trouble absorbing stuff.

Peter will answer all of your questions here in this crash course : https://online.betangelacademy.com/cour ... ash-course

After you fully understand how to bet and trade on the exchange then you can try and develop an edge on football or wherever, good luck.

No I wouldn't lay at these odds because they are still all over Deportivo. It has just gone 3-0.
That's an example of exercising judgement. Then you need to decide what odds would you lay them at and what odds would you back them at. Those two points (which will be fluid in a football match) represent the boundaries of your margin of error, and anything in between is not sufficient value.

To answer the question in your thread title, most traders/gamblers get this badly wrong in the beginning and make a loss. Then, just like with anything, they learn from their mistakes and their judgement gets better until their judgements are right for the majority of the time.
So are you saying that watching YouTube videos, reading books, joining forum and maybe taking a course is a waste of time?
Videos, books, forums and courses on trading are only as useful as what you use them for.

If you use them to build a foundation to learn, gain experience and develop your skills they can be extremely useful.

On the other hand, if you attend an advanced maths course when you haven't even learnt addition, or delve into intense forum discussion, trading books and videos when you haven't even learnt the very very basics of trading that Kai had to explain to you in the previous post on this thread, then yes, it is a complete and utter waste of time.

I have tried watching more of Paulo Rebelo's videos but only a few are translated.

The course lasts 20-25 minutes, he's not going to have time for that. ;)

Take this video for example, he is talking about creating a situation where you can create a risk free bet. Does anyone know how to do this?

The video is in Portuguese. Are there no videos in English explaining how this works?

Forget about Paulo Rebelo's videos and just look at the link Kai gave you. Peter Webb speaks in English, no subtitles needed. You only need to find half-an-hour - considerably less than the time you've spent asking questions on this forum and a very small fraction of the time good people on this forum have spent answering your questions!

the one i watched had graphics and english subtitles - double check that your screen is not obscuring the lower 3rd (where the subtitles are)

Sorry my bad I switched off subtitles. I didn't know they could be switched off.

Just profited from Sao Paulo as I looked at their form and if they drew it would look like a strange pattern of form and Corinthians weren't doing that much attacking. Turned 20p into 46p. Just not sure where to go next. When should I start increasing my stakes?
