Since I started my original service, I've interacted with countless subscribers, and almost without exception, the challenges they faced in trading were issues that could have easily been prevented with the right foundation.
If they had received proper guidance and had the correct ideas instilled from the start, many would have found themselves in profitable positions much sooner. That's exactly what this Absolute Beginners guide aims to achieve — to provide a clear, structured starting point for newcomers, as well as struggling traders who want to revisit the basics and start fresh.
This guide is not just for those looking to dive into sports trading for the first time, but also for those who have dabbled in it and wish they had a better understanding of how the exchange works, how to place bets, and how to use essential tools effectively.
Unlike the Strategy Guide , which focuses heavily on trading strategy, this guide zeroes in on the fundamental concepts you need to master before worrying about tactics. It's the perfect beginner's companion, and best of all, it's completely free.
