if you can turn #2 into #4 you can turn 20 grand into 40 grand its the same formula the same maths its just that people get nervious and confused when the place a 20 grand bet,and guess what?The horse or the football team do not care  weather you have 2 quid or 20 grand on them.

It would take a long time brassneck, as I said, getting on is the hard part.

I get involved on the horses almost 7 days a week c-c. I have to supplement my meagre pensions.
Report brassneck August 26, 2014 12:49 AM BST
For horses go to the meeting,most of the bookies will take a 50 grand bet provided you give it to him early,bookies have an unwritten rule with each other that they share the big bets if there is ten on the line you  can be sure it will be divided,but the guy you give it to will back it back with the others at a bigger price and make money for himself weather the horse wins or loses.if you are placing 50 grand on betfair on a horse and you are sure it will win it is cheaper to charter a private plane or heli to go to the meeting that to pay the commission on the bet.

Thanks for the tip but I'm mainly an arber. As my mate Mitch said above I don't know one end of the form book from another. Slippy may knock it but it's made me 200k roughly in 12 years. Not a fortune but as I said above, I have to supplement my pensions.

Cheers dewey. akabula, I've been with loads of tipsters over the years, mainly to test if they're any good as a trading tool. Currently I'm only with Timeform Jury. Very unlucky today. My mate got me £200 on at 6/1, went off about 3/1 (10p r4 only), made about £105 on the trade and the bookie's bet. A s it happened it won the race (3-10) which didn't really matter, but the race was voided because of a false start.

why do you not lay a few bets on here and give them to your bookie to keep the account in arrears,its dosent cost that much and most times you can wangle football prices to your advantage,make a few quid while keeping your bookie happy with a losing account that you can use for strokes when you need it.

Dewey the last thing you would do if successful is advertise your bets.
Going back a right few years I used to get info from a couple of stables.
It was all dynamite cos you knew it was going to get backed off the boards.
Tepylon, Kamal Sediqui and All the Queens (or Kings maybe) Men were 3 of the biggest gambles.
All opened approx. 33s on course and between 5s and 12s in the shops with returned SPs 11/8, 13/8 and 7/2.

allyou have to do is take a few 50 and 100 pound bets in tight games and then place them with your bookie,if he is answering the phone to you and you are chucking 50 and 100 pound bets everyday he is not going to pull you up on a bet in the middle of the day(the real one)and you don't care if the others win or lose,its just betfair v the high street bookie.
Report curious-cat August 26, 2014 1:25 AM BST
true ... but you have to operate within your bank.

If you had a bank of 20 grand and you staked 20 grand there's a risk of losing it all.

My biggest bet was on the 1997 gen election £3500 at odds on ... I don't remember the price.
I put it on using cash at Sandown as you could avoid betting tax by betting on course with a Lads rep ........ there was some trouble collecting it from a shop and I arranged to collect it at Brighton racecourse ... the Laddies rep either wouldn't or couldn't pay me although it was all arranged on the phone.

When I rang to complain they apologised and I think I was sent a cheque.
I was cheeky and asked for a freebie to compensate me for my trip to Brighton ... the result was an invitation to Sandown on a day when Persian Punch won. The place was buzzing with info esp about Persian Punch sp 3-1. Richard Fox was one of the speakers- he gave us 2 winners - .. Thommo was another - embarrassingly he asked everyone to kiss the lady on their left [ my wife was on my right - lucky escape Grin ]
I was sat between Lenny Lawrence (manager of Luton Town at the time) and some guy who had sold a chain of betting shops, in the East End I think he told me they were called Prince. I'd never heard of them .. and the conversation died a little ... as the only bet I've ever had in the East End was on betfair on a visit to Pumphol's shoeshop. Pumphol let me use his account and returned the tenner plus the winnings (7-2) .. but that was much later than May 1997 when my trip to Sandown took place.

I later found out he was Michael Tabor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Tabor Grin

And in league cup matches you can lay teams at 2/5 on here that are much bigger in the bookie coupon when the teams are announced.the fa cup is the same.and the champions league is the best along with the Europa league,when the team has qualified you get serious differences in prices.and you can make a small fortune in trading.
