It’s clear for everyone to see! Modern sports trading is undergoing a significant transformation thanks to advances in technology, particularly through the use of algorithms, machine learning, and artificial intelligence (AI).

This is a topic I care deeply about because I firmly believe that technology can not only improve human life but also significantly enhance the activities of traders and entrepreneurs. Technology as a Powerful Tool Technology,…

The ability to maintain a positive perspective, manage stress, and adapt to changing circumstances can make the difference between success and failure. In this article, I want to talk about a topic often overused but should be an attainable goal for every professional without being trivialized: how to develop…

The fear of running out of budget is typical in the world of Sports Trading. I experienced it myself, especially in the early stage. For many years, I’ve adopted a “High Stake” strategy: few monthly movements with high investment amounts. I recommend this approach to anyone wanting to excel in this activity, as it ensures peace of mind for both psyche and wallet. It’s a strategy that leaves me truly at ease in the long run, thanks to the data and experiences from previous seasons confirming its solidity. However, in past years, a small but significant doubt haunted me: what…

I had to personally work on myself and the people around me at the beginning, in order to overcome prejudices and properly frame my activity.
