Four Figure Profit

The Boston Celtics were upset tonight by the Charlotte Bobcats 114 - 106 in overtime. After the 19 game winning streak by the Celtics, this is their fifth loss in the past seven. Below you can see how I traded the game on Betfair.

Great work! Just out of interest, how much would you have turned over to achieve that? i.e. Are you taking a position once or twice, then trading off that, or regularly going in & out with 30+ bets overall?

Greetings from Germany and keep up the great work

I find basketball the hardest to trade as it is more back and forth than other sports.
