training in trading

[100%beef]

Hi All

I've been playing around with betfair for a while and with gruss's great software.

My best sucesses has been trading on football for the under/over 2.5 or on the FTSE 100 cash backing when the odds are fairly low say 1.08 and then trading out when they are 1.04ish, slowish moving markets easy to take a loss if a goal is scored or the FTSE does a turn around.

However trading on the horses seems to be a black art, I lay it and the donkey shortens or I back it and the thing drifts!

So not looking for people to give away any trade secrets, but any pointers on books, websites, top tips etc to spot the drifters and streamers before I dump my bank on them!!!

Cheers

Great program guss BTW!

For arb trading, concentrate your attentions to Novice/Maiden hurdles and chases over the jumps and Maiden stakes and graded races on the flat. In general punters think these races are easy to sort out and horses are usually well backed. This coupled with the fact the favourites win more often (he said guardedly) make for optimum arb trading opportunities.
