Learning by doing....

... is probably not the very best way and can be quite expensive when it comes to sportstrading, so I decided to visit a course hold by Peter Webb and his Betting Exchange Academy.

I travelled at 7.00 in the morning to London as I did not wanted to stay 2 nights in England and arrived quite tired to be honest at 7.40 local time after having slept just for around 3 hours.

After arriving at London Heathrow, I decided to drop my luggage first at my hotel just at Heathrow whereas the taxi agency already called me as I was quite late due to waiting for around half an hour for a taxi on the airport. Arrived at the hotel, I was quite in hurry as the course took place in Hook which is around 35-40km away from Heathrow if I remember right.

The journey to hook was very relaxed as I had a very friendly women who was driving me - friendly and not sexy :-) Was talking quite a lot about gambling in the UK and she mentioned she was used to drive several people attending these courses held by Peter Webb - even a women which came from Australie only to visit such course - very good first sign for me :-)

After arriving a little late in the course which still had not started, the action began in a hotel in Hook which was what I would call a typical British hotel ( not bed and breakfast ). All of the attenders introduced theirselves and after that Peter began with his course.

All over the course, I became a more and more clear idea of what trading is all about and especially how to identify valuable trading opportunities hours before the race started. Basics about the software BetAngel were also included as reading the market, forecasting drops and how to trade every single race in detail.

Different than other courses I visited about betting / statistical modelling / gambling / investing, I was surprised how loose the atmosphere was. A host which pulled in jokes from time to time during crashing my head for some moments with his analysis and speech was really something nice to see - believe me, it's getting horrible at such courses if this does not happen.

After the break, the whole discussion about horsetrading in detail began and I was really amazed how easy it becomes to detect right races for scalping / swingtrading and how you have to stick to certain rules.

All over, I must admit the course was really worth the money I paid for and I can definately recommend it to everybody being serious about trading on sportsmarket. I've seldom seen somebody being that much dedicated to a topic he is referring about as Peter and still being open for questions all over and answering them very satisfying. Especially the relaxed atmosphere I liked pretty much. Even though the course was sheduled to end around 5pm, it took to 6.15pm until the ( very useful ) handouts were given to us by Peter - including a book about trading on sports in general which I really recommend everybody and a summary of the projected stats and market examples shown in the course - by the way you can also watch the videos Peter used in the course at BetAngel TV.

After arriving back at the hotel at around 7.30pm, I took some time to relax and had a burger which wasn't what I was expecting except expensive :-)

All in all I really suggest you to visit courses held by Peter Webb if you are interested in trading ( especially in horses ). The whole trip was quite expensive for me including a night in a hotel and the flights of course and some pounds for taxis, but without any doubt, every single penny spent I feel right about.
