Matchbook Traders Conference became the much needed social hub for sports traders, putting faces to names, igniting discussions and imparting knowledge, with one attendee commenting on the opportunity to “meet other traders and the ability to approach professional traders and discuss their ideas”, Matchbook Traders Conference has become the acceptable face of sports betting.

The day saw discussions on everything from taxation, to specific betting strategies and how to mentally deal with the day-to-day stress of being a professional trader.
