I don’t actually remember how I found it or what lured me to it, but flutter.com is what got me started in betting, or as I like to call it ‘sports trading’. People always look at you funny when you say you like ‘betting’, as though you are a fool who’s throwing his money away, which if I was a ‘gambler’ I would completely agree with!
Imagine someone who has very rarely bet in their life - and I mean rarely – such as an adventurous £2 bet on the Grand National each year. That was me, so how and why I found flutter, looking back on it, is a bit of a mystery.
As a very risk adverse person (£2 was the maximum I would like to stake on the national) again I don’t know why I investigated flutter any further when I did find it. I had no other on-line betting accounts but something about flutter intrigued me. On first look I was convinced there must be some way to profit from this if you can take either (or both) sides.
Of course these days flutter is better known as the king of exchanges…Betfair.
For the first 4 or 5 years I was playing as a bit of a hobby. Again I would always use £2 stakes (only because this was the minimum) and generally spend very little on what was just a bit of entertainment. It’s fair to say today my ‘sports trading’ is far from a hobby.
Over the years I’ve probably dabbled in most sports one way or another. Outright betting on football (what a fool!), football trading (still can’t get a winning strategy!), horse and greyhound racing (to risky for my liking and I know nothing of them), Golf (one I may look at again in the future) and so on. Out of all the sports there are to bet on, only one has ever given me consistent profit. This sport also happens to be my favourite and the one I follow religiously...
....Formula One.
It was a month ago I made my first post but with the F1 season just over a week away I should be here more frequently.
Over the coming blogs I will post more about my strategy and thoughts on F1 ‘trading’.
In the meantime I’m off to place £2 on Kimi Raikkonen to win the drivers championship.
