I said I was going to have a look at some other sports in 2012 and last night I had a look at Ice Hockey - and what a strange trading experience it was! Another seemingly relatively short game in terms of playing time, but again it takes bloody ages to play! The match I tried was between Chicago and Philadelphia, and I laid the draw in the second period at 2-2 early in the second period. A two goal lead to the favourites did little to move the odds for absolutely ages, and as time wore on I'm afraid I got bored stiff and took the little green on offer. There was only about 12k trade on match odds as I finished up, but the lack of real movement surprised me.
I'll have another look at the sport again, but must say I struggle a bit with all these long winded matches... one of the reasons I've never taken to tennis or test match trading.
Next on the agenda is a dabble in basketball, to be followed by some rugby....maybe if I keep looking I'll find something I enjoy trading as much as I do football.
Then I'll have to come up with a new blog name....

ReplyDeleteWhether you are successful in these new ventures or not, I think you should be congratulated for trying.
So many of us (and I'm more guilty than most) stick to what we are comfortable with, and don't really try hard enough to look at different avenues. Specialising will, in my view, often bring the greatest rewards, but until we've tried out all different types of sport, how the hell do we know which one suits out style best.
Good luck to you.
Thanks for the suggestions, Pete. Rest assured they will all be borne in mind for the future.
ReplyDeleteSoccerDude, thanks for the encouragement. I suspect I'll end up coming back home and not having to concoct a new blog name!
