LiabilityTrading.com is FOR SALE

Yes, you read that right.

LiabilityTrading.com is FOR SALE

Basically, I just dont have the time for it any more (as I’m sure you may have guessed with the lack of updates)

I have other commitments, and truth be told I hardly ever use Betfair anymore. Some of my other ventures have really taken off, and I have ventured in financial trading. All of this combined with a demanding young family means I simply dont have time to dedicate to this site or Betfair anymore.

So I have decided to offer the site up for sale. It has a lot of potential in the right hands, unfortunately those hands are not mine, and the site and its rankings are wasted as it is at the moment.

I am open to any serious offers. Feel free to contact me at liabilitytrading@gmail.com  to make an offer or discuss further.

Tennis finished for the year, so what now???

So the tennis trading season is over. So with on eye on next season its time to relax and maybe look at a few other sports to get involved in. Although more time is spent with family over the holiday season, there are also some great events to trade that you can maybe slip into your diary of stuff to do. Just remember to always tread carefully when trading a sport you aren't too familiar with. Hopefully with having learnt to liability trade tennis markets you will be able to spot some great opportunities.

There are always loads of cricket matches on during the holiday season. Remember that  its summer in the southern hemisphere, and with it brings plenty cricket to choose from. Look for good low liability opportunities where either a wicket or a boundary will get you a nice little bounce on the odds. In close T20 matches you can maybe look for bigger bounces ;) Another area to have a look at is playing the Innings Runs Asian Handicap markets. These can be hugely profitable if you know your cricket...

Darts markets are fast and furious markets that have been growing over the years with the amount of liquidity that they attract. For the astute low liability trader there are ample great opportunities. Look at how the market reacts when it looks like a player is about to checkout but misses... You can also get dramatic momentum shifts as a player takes their game to another level. Check out PDC Darts to get more information on upcoming events. Darts can be incredibly entertaining and its great to trade!

NFL. American football is another sport that offers great low liability trading. Due to the way the game is structured, a great piece of play from one team or sloppy play from the other can swing a match in the opposite direction. One great play can snatch the match from the other team. And a great thing about american sports is that there needs to be a winner, so there is overtime and so on.

Look at laying a team that is almost by the end zone. If there is a turnover the odds swing nicely with little risk.

NBA/Basketball is good to trade too. Fast scoring and momentum can shift a few times during a close match. Same as with NFL, close NBA matches can be snatched away right up until the final few seconds.

Check out Liability Trading and consider that the basic principles of trading tennis apply to other sports too. 

Remember the most important rule when you are exploring new markets: PROTECT YOUR BANK. Dont use your normal stakes and always make sure mistakes aren't going to hurt too much. 

Have a great holiday season and hopefully you may find another string to add to your Betfair Sports Trading bow! 

Crazy Hail!

Just a quick one today, totally unrelated to trading. A mate of mine with family in South Africa sent me link to this Youtube video of a hailstorm they had there recently, and its hectic! Apparently there was loads of damage done with cars being dented and windows and windscreens getting smashed. Scary stuff, check it out.

Why do I link to Tradeshark?

This is a rather random question I seem to getting from people rather that have visited the Liability Trading site. Of all the questions to possibly ask me after reading the information there, some people take the time to email me and ask why do I have a link to Tradesharks site, especially after having a go at the 15-40 strategy.

So much so that I've decided to answer it here, so I hopefully dont have to answer it again.

Firstly, I never meant to 'have a go' at the 15-40 strategy. It was never meant to have a pop at Tradeshark. I was simply making a point that you need to develop your own method for trading matches and not be looking for a system that is set in stone. I used 15-40 as it is well known within the tennis trading community, thats all. The fact that TS offered it to the trading community originally is irrelevant.

Now why do I link to Tradeshark Tennis from my site?

I believe that what he offers is useful for newbie tennis traders. Regardless of your views of the strategies in the guide, it offers a solid foundation to the mechanics of trading the tennis markets on Betfair. With access to the trading chatroom, they have the option to ask questions from a host of experienced tennis traders that are happy to help newbies out (well last time I checked anyway!) I personally think that the chatroom is worth the price alone.

Paul is a no-nonsense Yorkshireman, so can come across as a little brash sometimes, and not everyone gets his sense of humour, but he is a solid helpful guy. I know there are a few people that doubt that he is a profitable trader as he sells the guide. I personally have no doubt that he is, as I have been told from a reliable source I trust 100% that this is fact. I believe he is very good at reading matches in-play, and has found is own way to trade to his own match-reading skills. He himself has said (as I do) that you need to find  a method of trading that suits your own personality. This is why some love his strategies and others shout scammer. Truth is you'd be much better of learning the ropes with his videos and in his chatroom than by following some of the muppets that frequent the Betfair tennis forums.

Lastly, I admire that he puts himself out there everyday by putting his match views on his blog, and admits when he got it wrong. He gives well thought out views, and does it reliably regularly. You can learn about judging match-ups from looking at how he does it. Doesn't mean you have to do it the same way, but you can get your own ideas on things to look at for yourself.

There. Now I hope this is the last time I get this random question.

Stay lucky people.

Back with a baby!

So I've been away from the blog for some time now. My wife unexpectedly had our baby girl early, so I have been pre-occupied with dealing with all that goes with that. Thankfully all is well, and our little girl and mommy are doing well. It really puts life into perspective when you hold your tiny child in your arms for the first time.

As for trading, I have not had much time to do much of anything. With the birth and other ventures taking up just about all my time, I've not been able to trade much. Hopefully my time will free up a bit in the near future (although with the tennis season winding down I'll probably be looking at other sports for opportunities) as I actually enjoy trading, and miss the ladders when I'm away from them for too long!

Since discovering sports trading, I've found that no matter where I am or what sport I may be watching, I always find myself mentally picturing the ladder in regards to what id happening on the pitch/court. I see an amazing comeback, or a surprise wicket/interception/goal and I immediately imagine at which price the market was trading, how violent was the movement, how much was traded at what prices, who got burnt and so on. I can never just switch off and enjoy, as the market and its movement is always in my minds eye. Does anyone else have the same problem?

I will be making a bigger effort to devote time to the blog and the Liability Trading site in the future, so please keep checking for updates.

Stay lucky all.

Liability Trading Guide Now Free!!!

Well what a US Open! Azerenka serving for the match and Williams snatching it away from her, Andy Murray finally taking a Slam, and so many more great moments in a great tournament. I hope you all had a good profitable US Open!

So as you would know if you've read the blog before, I was selling a guide to liability trading the Betfair tennis markets. I say 'was' as after a lot of soul searching, I have decided to no longer offer it for sale. I am making it available for free. You can now check it out at www.liabilitytrading.com

I still believe that the only way to become profitable on the Betfair markets, is by spending time learning them and how they operate and what happens in different situations. Experience combined with good solid bank-management, and being able to control yourself psychologically, are all you need in order to become profitable. I hope that the guide will help some of you that are maybe finding it difficult to spot profitable avenues to explore, to get new ideas an ways to approach trading tennis on Betfair.

I am personally in the process of diversifying and moving away from Betfair trading. I still love trading sports, but I am exploring other businesses and investment opportunities. Therefore as I spend less and less time actually trading, I feel I wont be able to keep the guide updated and add to it as I originally intentioned.

To the few people that did actually buy the guide, I will be sending you some of the updates I had planned by email within the next few weeks. Whenever I get time and have any observations to share, I will send them out to all previous members. And please remember that if you have any questions just email me. I will respond as soon as I can.

Well I wish you all the best, stay disciplined and lucky!

US Open is here!

Well the 1st round has officially started! Unfortunately, so has the rain, the enemy of tennis lovers and traders everywhere...

Rain delays are tiresome, sitting around waiting for play to resume. Even so they can provide opportunities. A player that was possibly getting trashed before the delay, has time to collect themselves, look at what they've been doing wrong and how to correct it. The player that was handing out the trashing could loose some momentum, and possibly start to doubt themselves...

You can check out the weather out  here or follow the official US Open Twitter feed here

I wish you all the best of luck trading this years US Open, and let us all sing rain rain GO AWAY!
