Like always with not just Betfair trading but everything I’m going to call it how I see it, so let me say if you are making £5-10K a month on Betfair you can stop watching this video, you can leave this post.
Now we have the people this information is for, I can begin.
Many people who aren’t profitable yet are focusing on the money that they can make on Betfair, this is wrong.
You have to focus on the process and break it into manageable steps. My old man is a window cleaner… he doesn’t just get to the windows at the top.
He goes one rung at a time.
It’s the same with trading, if you are always chasing the big wins and the big money months you’ll always fail. Break it into manageable chunks.
How?
I’ve broken this down into 5 stages which I will share with you now. The goal is to get to the next level.
- Level 1 – First Profitable Trade
- Level 2 – First Profitable Day
- Level 3 – First Profitable Month
- Level 4 – Consistently Profitable
- Level 5 – Full Time Trading
I’m not saying everybody has to make it to level 5, some dont want to do this full time and thats totally cool. You do have to make it to level 4 though, all of you!
My new videos are more detailed longer etc… therefore I’m breaking down what you need at each level….
PSSST I also recorded this as a video incase you don’t like reading 😉
Level 1 – First Profitable Betfair Trade
What you need here is first to have:
- Picked a sport
- Picked a market
- Got a strategy together
- Got a plan together
- Researched the trade
- Entered it at the right point
- Exited it for a profit
Ok? Then celebrate like you’ve just scored the winning goal in the World Cup final because you’ve proved you can do it.
Some of you will say it was more luck than judgment, but if you documented every step of this process then this will allow you to repeat the steps and do it again and again.
Which leads us nicely too…
Level 2 – First Profitable Betfair Trading Day
The best thing about these levels that I built are that they are progressive so you take what you learnt in the previous one and it builds into the next one.
Now, you’ve made that first trade now it gets hard. Like crazy hard because in this one you have to fit off FOMO, over staking, jumping on trades.
What you need in this level is:
- To have a repeatable way of selecting the trades
- To have a clear defined plan of how you will trade them
- To trade only those trades that move you closer to your goal
- To execute the trades to the plan
- Clear and repeatable way of recording the process and the trades
- Get around people to learn
Putting time aside to review your trades is the surefire way of getting better on Betfair fast, so many skip it. But when you learn about what makes the winners win and the losers lose and get real with yourself on following the plan and not making silly mistakes it leads to profit.
It also leads us nicely…
Level 3 – First Profitable Betfair Trading Month
I’d say level 2 and 3 are where the majority of people reading or watching this are?
This is the hardest one to crack, when you do its a huge milestone in your trading path. It shows that you have had the discipline needed to trade and follow your plan for a full month and now you can reap the rewards.
You have everything from the previous levels, now it’s just about mindset and following the plan and sticking to one strategy, focusing on that and ignoring the noise, the shiny objects, follow your path.
Trade the games that are on your plan, analyze them and look for weaknesses.
Learn from those weaknesses and apply it.
Give yourself time to make mistakes, learn from them, time to learn, time to research.
Level 4 – Consistently Profitable
Now you’ve had the first profitable month it’s time to get to the goal, the one we all want to be at.
Making consistent money from Betfair. This is the hardest to get to because you are battling the demons of mindset again!
Here you need:
- To have a plan you can actually follow
- Stick to the plan
- Analyse Analyse Analyse
- Let the ego get out the way – you can be wrong and still be profitable long term
- Have confidence in your trades
- Have confidence in your ability
- Get around people to learn
That’s really it! In this I’ve given you the levels only you know which one you are at, you also know now what you need to focus on to get better at Betfair.
The main thing is you need to give yourself time to get there, when you are het up, frustrated, want it to happen sooner…
