I will definitely check out your blog soon. I am very much of the opinion that trading Betfair is only a part time activity and that I need to do other work additionally for other reasons, such as fulfilment and furthering my experience so I am enriching my lifestyle in ways other than purely money. <br />All the best with your trading journey!

In my case I can easily see why uninformed people only see the negatives when horses are mentioned. There's a hell of a lot of damage done by backing horses. <br />Trading IS different, guys who know I had (have ?) an issue with gambling now ask me do I still bet. I tried to explain the concept of trading to them, but I can immediately see them saying "aha, he's still gambling, poor deluded sod". I know trading is a form of gambling but now I just say no if asked. My trading journey is just beginning and already very rocky (http://plaw999.blogspot.com/) and I am struggling with the discipline involved.<br /><br />Drop in sometime and have a look.

Most of my time I invest into improving my auto-trading software system. That's what I tell to others: I work as a software developer. And since I do some contract work for a few customers, this works very well for me. No one knows about my trading activities, because my experience is people have a very negative attitude towards gambling... they look at you like a criminal or addict :-(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6634548863347354947.post-39897851228342902010-04-05T11:12:11.729+01:002010-04-05T11:12:11.729+01:00Hi Braid, thanks for your comment.

People are gambling all the time, for example with their time that it is best spent going down one career path to another. Also any one investing in shares is gambling it is just that that form of gambling is socially acceptable.<br /><br />Anyone who tries to pretend trading is not gambling is wrong as although we are not gambling on the outcome of the event upon which we trade if pre race traders we are however gambling up on the direction of the price movement.<br /><br />As I said, great blog post!leonthefixerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09633799029011008039noreply@blogger.com
