I'm Back
It's been a while! It's seems a little strange to be back and posting on here after nearly a year so I'm really hoping some of you are still out there :-)
.
So, why have I returned?
.
Well, before I answer it's worthwhile remembering why I stopped in the first place. At the time I felt it was important to take a break (from blogging - not trading) as the content of what I was writing had served it's purpose. In addition, a number of similar blogs were appearing and I felt the concept was starting to get a little stale. I made a promise to myself at the time that if I did come back to the blogosphere then it would only be to do something different. I had no idea what the guise would be and I didn't know if that time would ever come, but over the last few weeks some thoughts have started turning in my head which have got me excited again.
.
What are they?
.
As previous readers will know, I'm predominantly an in-play sports trader whose majority of profits come from one day cricket. I love in-play trading but one of the problems I had last year was that I often felt detached with anyone reading and as a result ended up writing the same type of things as with my shocking memory I'd forget what I'd done and why etc. This was all well and good, but in a perfect world I'd have liked to have communicated at the time, whilst in the moment. I could have used Twitter, MSN or utilised Forums much more but none of those ticked the boxes as I felt I wouldn't be able to control the content of what I wanted to say or manage the participants who would be involved. In the end, I didn't pursue these thoughts any further.
.
That is, until now.
.
The truth is I've now discovered a platform that will allow me to deliver what I've just described and I can do this all from the comfort of my very own blog. In effect, I intend to publish a LIVE blog as I trade LIVE events and have you for company if you wish to join me. It would be for a trial period, but my longer term intention would be to identify individuals with a professional outlook who could form a small team committed to increasing trading profits. I like the company and trading can be lonely especially on an event that lasts a few hours :-)
.
This may not work, and I'm conscious that I don't want it to affect my trading, but I've seen enough to think to myself, "why not give it a go?"
.
So, the next bit's down to you. There's two things I'd like to know; are you still out there and would you be interested in reading/participating during live events?
.
Please leave a reply in the comments section of this post and if there are enough of you interested we'll kick something off soon.
.
All the best, as always.

Hi John,
I was only thinking about you the other day! What happened to the Horse Racing? I'll have to catchup on your new blog to try and gain some Forex tips :-)
Keep in touch mate.

Hi Eddy,
I'm not sure if I'll be 'teaching' as such, but you may pick up a few pointers of how I prepare/look out for etc.
I'll let you be the judge!
Mark
Hello Mark I would love to join you in your new adventure. I am new to the blog community and I am mainly a footy trader but would love to know more about cricket trading.Cheers
Must admit I had found your blog a couple of months after you had stopped posting! Certainly was an interesting read, good to see you back again and look forward to your posts. Have also added you to my blogroll, would be grateful if you could reciprocate.
Hi Mark,
Still very interested in horse racing just I found a new passion with Forex trading and the liquidity is infinitely better than Betfair. Forex topples all of the stock markets combined!
very interested, had only just started following your blog when you decided to call it a day, hope i dont have the same effect this time
Hi Mark. Great to see you back. I'd be up for a bit of joint trading in real time. It's something I have wanted to try for a while, I've tried it by posting on the blog but to be honest it doesn't really work without the feedback. If you decide it is a starter give me a shout and Good Luck.
SP
Thanks for the positive comment and the link JS - favour reciprocated :-)
Hi Wibdib,
I'm sure you won't mate. Thanks for taking the time to post a comment.
All the best,
Mark
Hi Softech,
I was keen not to go back to the stuff I was doing before.....I just got bored of it and it was taking up too much time.
Let's see how this goes.
All the best,
Mark
Hi Sports Punter,
I'm not sure how much help I'll be as I won't have time to detail every trade but hopefully I'll be able to paint the correct overall picture.
I've added a link to your blog.
All the best,

A big welcome back Mark! Really glad to see you back on here.. seems you've found more blogging energy than I have. Looking forward to reading what you are up to.. drop me an email too.
Matt @ punt
Matt!
Great to hear from you mate - I emailed you twice over Christmas - did you get them?
I have only just found out you are back. This is great news. I am definitely interested as I missed reading your old blog.
Your back! I was just updating my links page because I’m also making a return and was surprised to see your site had recently been updated, I’ve been out of the loop so to speak so hadn’t noticed you’d returned – good stuff.
Hey Mark...was a loyal fan of your blog till you disappeared. Didn't know you are back but nevertheless good to have you back in the sports blogging world!
