Late Night Profit

Having returned from QPR's woeful performance, a few of us got on the late night Supercup between Botafogo v Atletico MG to trade the HomerActive. It was the first time that this strat was lead through the main chat. We jumped on in the around the 30th minute and were rewarded with a home goal just before HT.
Just going to tidy up the video I did last week and pass it to the Nugget Crew for their approval so hopefully it will be available to TF members by the weekend. 
Just reviewing my August results.
Total Homers traded = 32.
Winners = 23
Scratches = 3
Losers = 6
No Loss Strike Rate = 81%. That is one loss every 4.33 matches

More Results

What a night at TF. St.Patricks was a winner thanks to the late first half red card which gave us more time to stay in the trade beyond HT and pick up a nice profit.

A few did the HomerActive on Man.U. v Tottenham and came out smiling!

One trader went against my advice and traded the Portugal game
SC Olhanens v Vitória Setúbal and that won too.

Plenty of profit to share around for TF members. Including the nuggets recommended trade on the Man.U. game which came up trumps.  Trading doesn't have to be selfish and arrogant.

Splashing the Cash

Someone is wanting to show off their £100,000 bank size. There was only £500,000 matched before the off!


3 Wins from 3 Picks and a Rant!

My two early morning picks on Facebook were both successful.

13.30 Norwich v Stoke
14.00 Wolves v Fulham

I also traded Vasco de Gama v Fluminense in the TF chat room late in the evening for which it was successful to a 37% ROI.

That takes the Homer results for August to 28 Homers, 20 Profit, 3 Scratch, 5 Loss.
 




I have received a few negative comments which has left me a little bewildered and very irritated. If I had any intention of trying to sell this strategy I could perhaps understand some of it, but I am not and have no intention of doing so. This is my blog of my Sports trading journey and here I am at last suddenly making a decent amount of money on this journey (not the same journey as Jacks you understand) and quite proud that I have found something myself that works. I tested it quietly for weeks and was getting green after green and it was only after a few months when the green trend continued that I started to think I might have something that works. The win and loss are more or less the same so as long as there are more wins it's going to be profitable so I am sharing it with the TF community and have documented the results since it became an approved TF strategy.

I am documenting it for all to see as it is possible to make a success at trading. Read it or don't read it but abusive comments are totally unnecessary and it would be a shame to consider taking the blog down.

I do not just use the Homer as it is only applicable to a handful of games per week, I compliment it with other proven TF strats that I have learnt from the Nugget Crew. So if I am to be accussed of anything it can be for promoting their service. Yes Bingo and Ads run a business and I am sure they make a tidy sum for doing so........and you know what, they deserve it and good luck to them,  they work hard for their members and want them to succeed but members also need to help themselves and work hard to improve their skills. 

They changed me and others so if you want to see for yourself, they have a free 14 day trial. It makes absolutely no difference to me what you do but if you decide not to then that's your choice but  please don't moan to me about it!

I Have Had Better Days

Well that was a disappointment. Both picks lost and the Sunderland game didn't do much better either. However with 3 losses from 23 games in August before yesterday, I can't really complain.

I mentioned on facebook that I would be trading the San Lorenzo game last night but decided not to when the 1-0 plummeted to 6.6. The game would have been a winning Homer.

Homer EPL 20/8 Picks and Opinions

There are three qualifying EPL matches.

Naturally it is much too early in the season to evaluate any kind of form to make a strong judgment. Unfortunately we can't put the ball in the net but I feel my picks give the best opportunity for trades to be successful.

12:00pm Sunderland v Newcastle
Last time these teams met at the Stadium of Light their were no goals in the first half. There is no real evidence to suggest not to pick this game but at this stage of the season some opinions are made just with gut feeling. Mine is that this local derby will be a scrappy first half affair with limited opportunities but that is just personal opinion. Avoiding.

12:45pm Arsenal v Liverpool
If you are picking a Homer game to get value from the potential profit then this is the game. Two of our CS scores have strong prices. I have done a CS single stakes evaluation which show greens at the very high end of Homer profitability. Arsenal have their injury problems but are always strong at the Emirates. Much is expected of Liverpool this season now that KD has a full season at the helm  but they continue to be unpredictable away and have leaked three goals in each of their five away friendlies. Away EPL defeats to Aston Villa, West Brom and West Ham towards the end of last season reinforces their unpredictability. Strong Pick.

15:00pm Swansea v Wigan
Swansea score goals at home and today they are against a team that were lucky to escape the drop last season. Despite Swansea's large defeat to Manchester City, they will be fired up for their first ever EPL game in front of their home fans. Their last eight home Championship scores were 3-0, 3-0, 1-1, 3-2, 3-0, 1-1, 4-1, 4-0. Homer prices will give above average greens but not close to the Arsenal game. Good Pick.

For more detailed information about the Homer and it's progress, please follow my Facebook page. You will need to be a full member of the Trading Football Service and supply me your chat alias in order to gain access.

Click on the right for a free Trading Football 14 day trial or immediately apply for full membership to gain access to their strategy page including a detailed document of then Homer strategy with HomeLow variation. Their banner is on the right.

Or make a one off payment of £39.99 before the price rises to  Betting System Notes. Their banner is also on the right.

Please note that this is the only week I am putting my picks on my blog. From next week I will only be publishing my results.

Stay green.

Homer sweet Homer

I have had a few complaints about the marble effect behind my posts. It should have been a solid blue and has been fine up until recently. So I have now made a few changes to make it more readable. 

My football trading has been going well, particularly the blistering performance of my Homer strategy as you can see below. The great factor in this strat is that the home team doesn't necessarily need to score for a successful trade. Take yesterdays Argentina league game between Atletico and Arsenal. At half time the score was 0-3 and the Homer was already a winner. 

I don't trade Portugal league matches as they tend to be defensive games that are often still 0-0 at HT but even yesterdays game between Leiria v Academica was a winner!













You can follow my picks on Facebook but you will need to be a Trading Football member and then supply me with your chat Alias. Click on the right for a free 14 day trial. If you want access to a detailed document of the strategy then subscribe monthly to Trading Football or a one off payment to  Betting System Notes. Their banners are on the right.

MarketMatcher -A MUST tool for all Football Traders

MarketMatcher is a fantastic tool from the Betting System Notes website that selects games to trade by either using the successful preset strats or by selecting custom price parameters. It used to take me around 20-30 minutes to study a large weekend card but with MarketMatcher it shows you in an instant. 

I was lucky enough to extensively test the tool before it was launched yesterday, particularly the Homer and I have total confidence in it's accuracy.

Even if you just back normally rather than trade, just select liquidity as 1 and select games for the next 24 hours. It will then list all the Betfair inplay games and it will be much easier than the Betfair site to click each game and see the Match Odds, Correct Score, U1.5, U2.5, U3.5, U4.5 all together on one screen. It really is a marvellous tool. 

The Betting System Notes website also has a tool for recording your football strategies so that they can be easily accessed as and when you need them. The tool comes with many strats already set up whether or not you are subscribed to any football service. If that isn't enough there are regular updates of sports trading news, videos and other tools.

There is no monthly subscription. There is just one off single payment of £39.99 to give you access to all the features. There are more tools planned which will be free to all members.

The Family of Homer Strategies

Over the past 4 years I have traded many sports but my primary market has always been pre-race Horse Racing. I have made a profit from the horses but not enough compared to the hours I have put in More recently I have been trading in play which has been successful but to be honest it's too intense to be enjoyable.

I have always traded the Football markets as a secondary sport but I was always useless and losing money on a regulate basis. I used to mainly use the popular Lay the Draw strategy for small stakes but there was never a concrete structure to it to ever contemplate any decent income from it.

Then about a year ago I accidentally came across the Trading Football Markets service run by Adster and Bingo. I decided to join but was sceptical like most noobs would be trying to get on the trading bandwagon. I quickly realised that this was a decent reliable service. They trade games in their chat room but not just for lemmings to follow. They explain why they make their in play decisions and they encourage members to think for themselves.

Bingo and Ads have always been supportive but there were also a couple of others that are sadly are no longer members that used to regularly coach me late at night (when there wasn't the numbers at midnight like there are now) when they weren't trading themselves and often getting me out of a massive hole I had dug for myself. I learnt a lot from them and one year later I am making consistent profits having for the first time last month profited at over £1,000 on just my football trading.

I have developed a family of strategies called Homer listed below

Homer
HomerLow
HomerActive (previously named Homer30)
HomerDog

I tested and tweaked the Homer over a number of weeks which is now regularly played within the TF chat room. It has proved very successful. The full details of the strategy and it's HomerLow variation is posted on two sites. Trading Football and Betting System Notes. Both can be accessed by their banners on the right.

Betting System Notes is a great website which focus's on successful strategies. It includes software where you can access details of proven strategies and add others to it. It is also about to launch a new product that is a must for all football traders. I have been lucky enough to be testing it myself. There is a one time charge to access all their services. Head over to them via the banner on the right to see for yourself.

HomerActive and the brand new HomerDog will be added to the TF and BSN over the next week or so. There will also be videos explaining the strategies.

So what's in it for me? Nothing apart from the green that I am steadily building. I genuinely just want to give something back to the TF community and show that there are a very small amount of trading services that really care about it's members and genuinely want them to become successful. If it wasn't for TF I wouldn't be in the position I am.

The proof of such a good service is the fact that most experienced members have never left to continue to trade on our own. As far as I am concerned trading a football game without sharing it in TF is like eating a Big Mac without the meat!

So what has all this got to do with my first paragraph about the horses? Well I have decided to make Football my primary sport for trading. I am going to show my faith in my own strategies by trading the main leagues at much higher stakes and compliment them with the already proven strategies that Bingo, Ads and senior members have introduced with a view to becoming a full time trader.

You can follow my Homer Picks on my Facebook page. I am Handy Andy with a picture of my profile. You must be a TF member so please send me a friend request stating your chat room alias.

There are many football strategy products that are being introduced for the start of the main season but with most you are just given an ebook to get on with it yourself but with TF you are never alone.

Stay green.
