The success of trading depends on the traders ability to anticipate market movements. There are several ways to do this, but one thing you should always have a feel for is, whether money is piling up on either the back or lay side. That is, do you see more money piling on the back side or lay side?
The idea is basic economics. When there is growing demand, price will increase. Whereas if there is an increase in supply, price will drop. So if we saw that the amount of money on the back side keeps increasing, we know that there are of layers coming onto the market, so it is quite likely that the price will jump up as some of those layers and new layers will bid the price up. Likewise, alot of money backing up on the lay side means there are alot people wanting to get back bets matched. We can anticipate they will bid the price down as they compete.
If we are quick enough, we can anticipate which way the market will head and take positions early to create a trade and a "free" bet on the event. So, if we saw alot of money piling up on the back side, we would anticipate the price to be bid down soon. So we would quickly get a back bet matched. When price dropped, we would get a lay bet matched. Thereby creating a trade and a guareenteed profit on the event.
Its important that the piling up money should be one-sided. If money is piling up on both sides, then the increased supply and demand will just cancel out.
Good Luck!
