Could you trade Betfair effectively using Twitter?

For a while I have been thinking of the best way to use Twitter and it suddenly came to me the other day when viewing through tweets via Tweetdeck, the number of spammers I was following.

This is not what I want!

I am not interested in making £1,000’s using twitter or gaining a free hundred extra followers overnight. What made the penny drop was the number of DM’s I was getting that were clearly being delivered automatically, offering me some free report that I wasn’t interested in.

You can also tell the ones using software as they deliver tweets in batches all with different links to various offers. I dont follow these people anymore!

What I want to use Twitter for

To engage in conversations and share opinions with fellow punters on sporting events, whether its one-ways positions (back/lay) or trading if you got a passion for sport then I am interested in what you have to say.

Professional Trading can be a lonely business at the best of times, but I firmly believe twitter was invented for us to share our thoughts with people who are interested in the same subject as I am.

Now I dont know if you could trade Betfair effectively using Twitter, but in the future I going to use Twitter for what it was meant to be before going mainstream and thats a place for people to hangout and share interests.

Yes; I will send the odd tweet highlighting a new blog post, but in the main I will use twitter to share my thoughts and views on how I see my life as a Betfair Trader.
