The advent of Betfair in 2001 lead to new strategies for making a regular income from horse racing, and other sports events. Betfair has quickly become the platform of choice for backers, layers, day traders, scalpers, swing and momentum traders alike. The superior odds available on the exchange sounded a death knell for the traditional bookmaker in the UK. With recession looming large in the UK, and the stock market redefining the words “dangerous and unstable” the professional gambler can, alongside the redundant stockbroker, and the average man in the street, expect to supplement their income very considerably. By correct, logical, rule based application of advanced knowledge, systems, techniques and strategies available on the Betfair platform, a new era of financial independence is dawning in the UK and abroad.
