Happy November!
After a four month absence, it's hello again from me. Have you missed me? Aw shucks.
Away with the doubters, I'm still plodding the daily sports spread betting path with all the usual (and not unexpected) peaks and troughs along the way. Overall, from the date of my last posting, May 31st 2007 up to and including 31 October 2007 my spread betting bank has grown by some 850 points. Some little way behind my target gains unfortunately.
At various points along the route I experienced times where I could claim to be substantially exceeding target, and others where it was like pouring money down a very deep drain. September and October have been a fruitful period, but they did little more than claw back the horrendous financial happening that was my August. But we all know, don't we, nobody becomes a trader for a steady income.

Over recent weeks I've also been looking into setting up a spread betting specific discussion forum. Not in competition with T2W you understand, or with any other board, but rather born out of necessity and frustration that no such animal currently exists to feed the needs of spread betting fans such as myself.
Boards such as T2W do have aspects of spread betting chat but it can be difficult to seek out. Equally sports betting sites also treat spread bettors almost as an afterthought. A specific and dedicated spread betting forum is IMO long overdue, its intention is to satisfy the needs of that enthusiastic minority of spread traders who are currently under represented. Click on my profile to find the site url, all spreaders (and even potential spreaders) will receive a warm welcome - especially financial spread traders, an area which is currently outside of my sphere of experience, but is an integral part of the plans for an active group.
I'll be re-starting my daily picks from today on here. Fingers crossed I'll make it a hat trick of good trading months, the harder I work at it, the luckier I get.
