Why so quiet?

Well, first off i have to say that i’m sorry for the lack of updates. As i’ve written earlier i’ve just moved to new country, and i still hasn’t got a decent internet connection. My internet provider won’t give me my connection until 30th of April.

I am working on some really great material offline though, wich i shall publish soon. Stay tuned!

Copenhagen under my feet

View over Copenhagen from my friends balcony

Now i’m in Copenhagen at my friends place just outside the city, and as you can see there is a fantastic view from here - he lives on the 12th floor.

If nothing weird happens i should get the keys to my apartment tonight, and then i can just pray for the internet disitributor to be fast. Yes - i am addicted :D

I read today that Betfair is taking their criticized bet matching process back. Some tweaks though, for example they aren’t scalping the market anymore. We’ll see how the trading community react, but i think this one will be way better than the old one.

Moving to Copenhagen

In a few hours my plane to Copenhagen leaves Arlanda Stockholm Airport. I will stay at a friends place tonight, and move in to my new apartment tomorrow. Then it’s time to go out and shop some new furniture. Will try to post some photos here later.

I have ordered internet connection from CyberCity. I hope they can deliver in a few days as promised. While waiting i have to find a good coffeshop with a wifi hotspot. Anyone know of such coffeshop in Copenhagen?

This means no trading the next week, but i will have lot of time to work on new articles for the blog wich i will publish as soon as i find an internet connection :)

For anyone who wants to work with trading Betfair or other betting exchanges it’s crucial to learn as much as possible about the human mind. Not only to understand the people beihind the market, but also - and this is maybe more important - to understand themselves.

Think about this: Someone offers you £25 and gives you the option to flip a coin - heads and you get £50, tails and you get nothing. You would probably choose to take the easy £25, right? Don’t worry, the majority of all people would make the exactly same choice.

The first post - Welcome!

Finally it’s time for me to release my english blog about my trading at the betting exchanges. I’ve been running my swedish blog for a while now, and attracted a lot of visitors. But i’ve always wanted to have an english blog aswell, and here it is!

On TheOddsTrader.com i will mainly focus on sharing my knowledge of odds trading - or sports trading - to people who are interested in knowing more about the subject. I will have educational articles, but also some more relaxed stuff that i hope that you - the readers - will enjoy.

If you need to get in touch me, you can either leave a comment to one of my posts, or you can e-mail me at info@oddshandlaren.com. Or why not both?
