Another great thought provoking post.
...Hi cassini<br /><br />Another great thought provoking post.<br /><br />I think that regarding the lack of women trading sports, it may be worth looking at how people in general get into sports trading.<br />I would say that the there are two main paths that are taken:<br /><br />1. Punters on sports like football and horse racing who probably after years of backing selections with limited success found the exchanges and realised that they could become the bookmaker by laying selections, they probably soon realised that laying was not the golden egg they thought it would be, but in the mean time had learnt from the betfair forum etc about sports trading.<br /><br />2. IT professionals who through their liking of sports found out about the concept of sports trading and because of their higher than average level of IT skills (I’m not including the IT bloke at my work place in that group) took to the technical aspects of sports trading like fish to water.<br /><br />As far as I can see the main commonality between the two groups is that before they became sports traders both groups were probably interested in certain sports that are predominately followed by men . IE horseracing, football etc<br /><br />So as a natural consequence more men would take up sports trading.<br /><br />MarkMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17632643525010316960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4528393111359731672.post-4586444569796023452011-02-16T11:03:10.718+00:002011-02-16T11:03:10.718+00:00Some thghts :
First a generic one :
You clearly ...Some thghts :<br /><br />First a generic one :<br /><br />You clearly have a very organised and educated brain - is it intentional this blog isnt easy to browse, the older stuff. If you could put an archive section up, a lot of your hidden gems, may get even greater traffic.<br /><br />Secondly, the above discussion re male/females is an exceptional post. I havent shown it to a female trader yet - but, will, and<br />await her response. If its constructive, I will post it.<br /><br />I am not sure how lucky I am to know 300 traders - I was happy to know 5, 3 yrs ago, when in-running trading was ridiculosly easy, and huge profits accrued. Now, 300 or so, inhabit the space, and its more challenging, which is not always a bad thing.<br /><br />Whilst on the subject of females - I have often tried to involve spouses on the ins/outs of trading, and, they just dont get it. Thats ok, I dont understand, a lot of what they do, but, traders dont always win .. and wimpy men, often want solace from their partner. If the partner doesnt understand, and cant contribute, is this a source of irritation ? How do you shrug off a bad day - as you cant talk to anyone close, and its hard to talk to like minded souls, as they are few and far between ?<br /><br />Anyway, great Blog.<br /><br />MikeJoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08175967092668544883noreply@blogger.com
