Not to be outdone, several new blogs have appeared this year trying to up the ante. Two of the more proninant ones are pre-off racing traders <a href=\"https:\/\/preracetrader.blogspot.com\/\">John<\/a>, who is aiming to reach a profit of \u00a3100,000 for the year, and <a href=\"https:\/\/adamheathcote.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Adam,<\/a> who has a target of \u00a3150,000! Both are well into their blogs and looking in good shape.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Not all bloggers do so well and it&#8217;s worth remembering that, but most blogs generally make interesting reading and give you an insight into the mindset of others. Trading can be a lonely existence and listening to others going through the mill helps you to be reflective. Don&#8217;t get envious of others though, if they are doing much better than you. Envy is the most destructive emotion I know. Don&#8217;t let it get a hold of you as its very counter productive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The best thing to do is to learn to take encouragement from others achievements and use that to put new energy into your activities. That&#8217;s a path that led me to meet the two richest people in the world and I am much better off for that experiance and journey. That never would have happened if I was just envious of them. I know its a cliche, but always think positive!<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_169\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"169\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/www.betfairtradingblog.com\/blog_wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=betangel\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2007 one Bet Angel user took on the grand challenge of trying to trade a small starting bank to \u00a3100,000.
