# TradeShark Tennis

> TradeShark Tennis teaches beginners and experienced traders how to trade live tennis matches on the Betfair Exchange using a structured, lower-risk approach.

TradeShark Tennis is operated by Paul Shires, a full-time tennis trader since 2010. The website provides a comprehensive tennis trading course, daily ATP and WTA trading research, educational articles, practical strategies and examples from real live trading sessions.

The focus is tennis trading rather than conventional betting. This involves backing and laying players during a match, managing risk and looking for value-based entry and exit points.
