FIFA 23 - FLIPPING & INVESTING
🕑 Added 2022-09-19 14:22:42 +0000 UTCWhat's the difference between Flipping and Investing?
Flipping
Flipping = Player-created demand. That means a price change based on the fact that people are going to buy it/don’t buy it.
As an example, buying OTW cards and selling these in the hype before the game. This is flipping, there’s no other impact just the fact that the demand rises as people speculate about a goal or good performance. The most common flipping move is Thursday Flipping.
Most traders will probably tell you that flipping means to buy and sell fast, make a low profit, etc, but that’s wrong. What they mean is day flipping or daily flipping. But that’s not the only way to make a flip, there are flipping methods (like OTW or RTTF Flipping) that require you to buy a card on Sunday and sell it on Friday just through the Player Demand.
Investing
Investing = EA created demand, you expect a price rise through the content EA releases.
EA-created demand is most common for SBCs, but it's not the only way to invest. As an example, buying Meta Chelsea Cards for a Kante SBC and waiting for the release would be investing.
Investments are usually more long-term than Trading but there are also short-term investments. Buying potential MM cards on Thursday morning during the rewards to sell them Thursday evening with the SBC is investing but it's done in less than 12h time.
What’s better?
We teach both and both are great ways to make coins. It depends on which suits you the best and I also recommend trying both concepts.
Flipping can be easier to predict and can be done any time of the day, easier to grind, and with more consistency. But it takes more learning, losses are unavoidable and it takes some time to master the right buy/sell times.
Investing usually has a higher return, can be done in bigger numbers, is very straightforward, and has the lucky punch potential to hit something randomly good. The downside is that you depend on EA and the content plan, sometimes the content just isn’t good enough to make your investments rise.
If you aim to hit like T100, you should know both ways and switch between them. To give some insights, I'm doing both and I think knowing and mastering both is needed to call yourself a Top Tier Trader.
Summary
- Flipping = Player created the demand
- Investing = EA created the demand
- Flipping is easier to predict, easier to grind, and more consistent, but also takes time to learn, you can lose coins easier, takes practice + time to master it.
- Investing has a higher return, easier to mass invest, straightforward, but you depend on EA.
