I want to take you through a collection of recent successful trades in the football market and instill within you the idea that you can replicate these profits yourself.

As mentioned in my earlier article, the key elements to trading success are the formulation of an accurate opinion, and acting (once that opinion has come to fruition) on the hint, within the market prices, that the outcome you foretold has a chance of being successful.

The quickest way I formulate my opinion is via the odds given for a particular event. The shorter the odds, the greater the likelihood of success (yes, a very generalistic and crude method I know but enhanced by proper research afterwards).

So let me take you through a number of betting scenarios that have occurred through this month gone, and point out to you what I feel are the keys to success with each trade.
