Scalping

[NorthView]

Can anyone tell me if it's still possible to make worthwhile profits by scalping the horse racing markets pre-off, taking Premium Charges into account?

All honest views welcome, thanks.

Of course it's still possible, just not as profitable as it used to be with the varying Premium charges.

Over 10,000 races a year on just the UK and Irish races alone , guess alot depends on what you call worthwhile but with 10,000 markets you don't need to hit the jackpot every race a steady £10-20 or so soon adds up

What does scalping mean?

[doris_day]

Scalping is a common trading term used in many markets and simply means to make many trades where you take small short term profits or losses. By short term, I mean seconds or minutes.

It sounds quite attractive as a method because you're not looking for big profits and many people are therefore seduced into thinking its easy. But I can assure you it isnt. But best of luck if you're going to try it.

Sorry Blueboy, I missed your question.

Doris, do you think it's possible to make long term profits by using Gruss triggers to auto-scalp?
