The King Of The Swingers

Swing Trading (or Swing Scalping) is the holy grail of trading on the betting exchange.
Here you are looking to catch bigger movements in the market rather than the small one tick profits more usually associated with the more common scalping technique.
Here is an extract from the latest weekly podcast from Full Time Professional Trader Matt Finnigan over at http://www.proxtrading.co.uk/
Matt describes the art of swing trading and trading within a range, plus why novice traders tend to be inflexible with profits and flexible with stop losses, when it should be the other way round.
You can find more of Matt’s podcasts which we feature every week over at our own dedicated trading site http://www.bettingsystemnotes.com

As I hope you all know by now we are well on our way with the fundraising effort for this years big event, The 2012 London Marathon.
You don’t, well stop reading this and get your wallet out, here’s the link:
http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/bet72
OK you’re back now, many thanks!
As you can see from that page, the fundraising got off to the best possible start thanks to the good and the great from the GeeksToy website (www.geekstoy.com), and in particular from The Geek himself.
Thanks to his marvelous generosity following his Real Trader Challenge back in September 2011.
So welcome to “The Real Trader” charity challenge. In this challenge to a maximum of £2000, I will be offering £150 each up to charity for those consistent winners that provide either a video of their 3 month Betfair P&L, or their 3 month P&L plus their lifetime P&L via the premium portal. Any money raised will be split 50:50 between Darren Hall’s latest charity run, and the Children in Need fundraiser planned for November.
From this he donated a staggering £1000 to me, £750 of that went to help my son fund his trip to India later this year as part of a community / schools rebuilding project and the other £250, has launched my own London Marathon event for the fantastic SeeAbility charity that I am running for this year.
Brilliant stuff!
Once again a massive thanks from me (& my son Jack) for everything and there are plenty of superlatives I could put here starting with the letter G but I suppose the best one of all would simply be…..

Introducing The Draw Inflation Tool
March 20, 2012 by Darren Hall
Filed under News
It is a little known fact that the odds on every football match has what is know as a Draw Inflation % figure. This is based on a calculation of the prices of Home Supremacy and Total Goals.
Usually this figure will sit anything between 5-15% is alright but there are occasions when this figure will fall outside of this range and produce misaligned prices on Betfair. And because the markets are so efficient, they simply have to correct themselves.
So that equals one word, OPPORTUNITY
And that opportunity has now presented itself in the form of a piece of automated software that will scans the Betfair daily in-play coupon and calculates the DI for each game and will flag up misaligned prices in the Match Odds and Over/Under 2.5 goals markets. These markets are always the most liquid of so your trades will be taken quicker, plus there will be plenty of games to trade and to profit from.
Introducing the Draw Inflation Tool
Created by the full time professionals behind the famous Trading Football service this is the must have addition to any traders portfolio, allowing you to profit in the Match Odds market before kick off. So you can sit back and enjoy the game knowing your profits are locked in or take free money inplay for risk free live trading!
We have been trialing this tool with the guys as it was being constructed and it really does do what it says on the tin.
Breaking News: I am going to put my money where my mouth is, some people will say it is big enough anyway, and use this tool, on minimum stakes whenever I can over the next month and all profits from it will be donated to my London Marathon charity run (details here). So watch this space for details of how we are getting on
Users have access to a page which will automatically scan the daily in-play football coupon giving a DI% for each game that meets our criteria. Then by following simple instructions quick profits can be achieved. Members will also get the option of receiving instant free email alerts when games are triggered. Marvellous!
Here is an example…..
Here is the launch webinar that was recently broadcast telling you everything you need to know about the software and the service….
PMT-DI Webinar 11-3-12 from Nugget Crew on Vimeo.
The Draw Inflation Tool is available as a standalone subscription service or for FREE, yes FREE for all subscribers to the boys prematchtrading.com service.
This is their original price checking service that looks for incorrect prices across a number of markets, using their now legendary software, Shirley. Shirley is a football markets model based on probability theory and statistics. The software uses prices in liquid markets and calculates relevant prices in secondary markets thus allowing users to spot mispriced events and profit from trading them before the game has started.
It was from this service that Draw Inflation was first discovered and explained to it members, who have profiting from it ever since.
So now everyone can have access to two fantastic services and automated software tools for one low price. You will also benefit from email tips will be sent out to members, plus tutorial videos. Plus here is also an excellent Chat room facility and email support for all members too.

You will know by now that at bet72 we are very excited by the revolutionary social investing network, eToro
Want to know why? Well take a look at this for starters.
Every week we bring you the top 5 traders from their OpenBook rankings. Take advantage of their talent by copying them straight into your account:
Top 5 Traders to 30/01/12

PPVijayakumar 211.4% 501
Moksel1972 261.8% 1651
peischen 83.2% 14
eToro have now added the Trade Story feature to its social trading application, OpenBook, that will enable traders to learn more about each other’s trades.
eToro OpenBook has revolutionized the way people trade to the core. No longer do private forex traders have to enter the financial markets in isolation and make their way through the intricate workings of the financial world in the dark. By connecting traders and creating a powerful investment network, eToro has enabled traders to join forces and use each other’s knowledge and experience to their advantage. Through OpenBook, eToro traders view live feeds of each other’s trading activities, follow top traders and gain their own followers, become market leaders of their countries, discover each other’s trading strategies and even copy trades with the click of a button. Now eToro innovates once more by introducing an additional feature to the social information stream – the trade story.
The “Trade Story” option becomes available when a trader closes a profitable trade, in order to give traders the opportunity to learn more about the forex strategy behind the trade. Once the closing action appears in the live feed, OpenBook users can click on the “Trade Story” link to open an additional panel which shows a graph of the trade (including open and close prices), the duration of the trade, the leverage used, and the profit percentage made on the trade. This information provides viewers with even more insight into the tactics that led the particular trader to profit, tactics which they can then implement in their own trading activity.
“The more traders can learn about the profitable strategies of other traders, the more they are able to take their own trading forward,” said eToro CEO, Mr. Jonathan Assia. “The trade story is an important aspect of how people trade and therefore the members of our community should have the opportunity to see it. After all, sharing information in forex is a win-win for everybody.”
The Trade Story feature is now live on eToro OpenBook and is taking social trading yet another step forward, proving that the power of online community is a force to be reckoned with in the financial markets as well as outside of them.

The Purple Geek
February 21, 2012 by Darren Hall
Filed under News
So you have your brand new shiny Betdaq account (with your 3% commission & £200 in free bets pending), so how you gonna use it.
Well as luck would have it the latest version of The Geeks Toy software is all Purpled Up and ready to go, with 100% support for Betdaq now, brilliant. Oh yeah and it’s all Free too !
Here is the Geek himself to tell you more…..
Here’s a complete list for your reference of all the new goodies available in version 1.2.
Multi Exchange Support
From this version, the application is available for both Betfair and Betdaq.Multi Language Support
With the help of a few in the community we have been working together this year to provide multi language support. As a result of everyone’s hard work so far this year, Included in this Beta is the ability to select a language at login to enable you to use the product in a number of languages other than English. The help files now have the translated application terms contained within. Where a help file has not been fully translated by a member of the community, a Google Translate drop down shows at the top to enable you to see the page fully translated by Google in that language. You can read further about this project here, and also add your name if you want to help me to translate the toy into your language.Kick Ass In-Play Interface!
A brand new, fully customisable, kick ass in play interface including a brand new unique in-play ladder style interface that can be set vertically or horizontally depending on your preference. This can be activated via the Main Info Bar menu. Full details here.Stop Loss
Yes the bloody stop loss is finally here Geek Style! It may be slightly different to what you are used to, so please don’t use it until you fully understand it. Full info can be found in the Staking & Tools control help file, but here are the highlights….1. The stop loss is fully automatic and works on your overall position. It is NOT attached to individual bets as is the case with most products. For instance if you have a £10 back bet matched, followed by 2 £10 lay bets it will only trigger based upon the price of the last lay bet if the criteria is met.
2. Any matched bet position stop losses show in the ladder at their trigger price in Red. Unmatched bet stop losses show on the ladder at their trigger price in orange. These can be dragged & dropped to different trigger prices as required.
3. There is an option for automatic greening with the stop loss. In some cases market fluctuations means the stop loss bet may be matched at a better or worse price which means the greening may not be 100% accurate. Should this be the case you will see a new small stop loss position show in one direction or another. You will need to manually green up when this happens.
4. There is a further option to automatically cancel all unmatched bets on the selection when the stop loss triggers.
I would advise against use of stop losses on fast moving in play markets, nor relying on them whilst you are away from your PC.
Trailing Stop
The stop loss includes a trailing stop, where the loss position decrements 1 tick for every tick the market moves in your favour.New Tools Functionality
Some extra features have been added to the existing tools & the stop loss to enable more flexibility when trading. Full info can be found in the Staking & Tools control help file, but here are the highlights….1. A new menu option has been added to the Tools & default staking menu called “Use Global Tools”. When switched on, the tools behave as currently & apply to new bets placed on all markets. When switched off, a new Tools Toolbar appears at the top of the ladder & right of the grid which enables you to set tools at selection & market level. { This option can only be changed if no markets are open.}
2. Cancel Tools on Market Hedge – When switched on, this option will cancel all tools active on all bets in the market when the whole market is hedged using one of the various options.
3. Cancel Tools on Selection Hedge – When switched on, this option will cancel all tools active on all bets on that selection when the selection is hedged. { NB It does not cancel tools when the whole market is hedged. Use the option above for this. }
MACD Chart
New MACD chart added to the streaming charts. If you don’t know what it is, try Wikipedia.Shortcut Key Manager
You can now change the shortcut keys for the ladder and bet controls. This can be opened via the main info bar menu.Betfair Live Video
Support has been built in for the Betfair live video page which maximises screen real estate. It can be launched via either the Main Info Bar menu, or when a market is available to watch on Betfair video, a TV icon will show next to the countdown clock which you can click.Multibet Tool
A new multi bet placement window has been added which can be opened from the Main Info Bar menu when a Market is open. { Dutch flag. } This window allows you to place bets on one ore more selections using the following popular methods in either stand alone or combinations of….• Dutching / Bookmaking
• Back / Lay the field.
• Stop Entry ( Price conditional entry }
• Place bets at a specified time.
• Drip FeedCheck out the user manual for the control for further info. One important thing to note is that like the entire application, the projected P&Ls in this window calculate & display inclusive or exclusive of commission depending on the option you have set in Main Info Bar Menu -> Profit, Loss & Hedge display.
Football Correct Score Markets
Keep bets are now supported on these markets.Payout Staking
A new “Payout” staking type, which places bets based upon Backers Stake + Layers Liability.Race Timer
A new race timer for horse racing which can be optionally switched on in the Grid, Ladder and in-Play interfaces via the menu.Cloud Functionality
New “Cloud” settings in the Main Info Bar menu. This enables you to back up and restore your entire settings & profiles to our server. This will enable you to easily transfer them to another PC, or recover them easily if your hard disk fails. There is also an option to share one of your profiles for other users to download as well.Going In Play Indicator
Going In Play Indicator – Markets that are due to go in play are now identified as such by a green “GO” icon to the right of the market timer.
Wow that is quite a list on top of everything else you get in the package.
If you haven’t come across the software before then you are in for a treat. The Toy is a premium betting and trading application for Betfair, the world’s leading betting exchange. It is one of the highest performing, most user friendly, flexible and customisable applications in the marketplace today.
