Differences between punters and traders: everything you need to know

Do you know what a punter is, do you know what a trader is, and do you know the differences between being a punter and a trader? Find out everything you need to know here at the Betting Academy.

Punter vs Trading

There are two main ways to make money with sports betting: Doing simple bets (Punter) or doing trading.

Here you'll find two videos (engish subtitles) to learn how to place your first bet and how to do your first trade on betfair website, and also to learn the main differences between simples bets and trading.

The daily life of a professional bettor

I'm a professional trader, punter and tipster in football and horse markets. I have already written several articles for the Betting Academy, and I now take the opportunity to introduce myself and tell what is one day of my life as a professional gambler.

I begin by remembering that it is possible to make money from sports betting: it is not luck, it is mathematics.

the team I support: turning a weakness into a strength

All experienced sports bet traders and betting sites tell us not to bet on the team we support because we won't be able to separate our emotions from reason.

Truth is we can turn that weakness into a strength and use it to win money in our bets.

Make money at the moment of goal

I leave you here with a small trading method, which only requires that you are monitoring livescores and eliminates the need to be watching the game.

I tell you about my experience in applying this technique: when to enter, when to leave, how many times to repeat the trade in each situation, cares to be taken, etc.

The professional trader's marathon

The goal of a trader should be to be exposed to the market for a short time, scalping a few ticks, and closing position ensuring a small profit from each entry in the market.

Betting trading is a marathon and not 100 meters, because haste is the enemy of perfection and in trading your movements need to be perfect and concise.
