Important tips for live trading

04 Trading In-Play / Betfair Education / 29 January 2008 / Leave a comment

1. Go into the game with a strategy.

2. Keep thinking a few minutes ahead - what will happen if ....? With live trading, you are focusing on what happens next, not necessarily the end result.

3. Always be prepared to risk a short-priced favourite for the sake of a couple of beers!!!

Practice on paper or for small stakes first.
