I challenge thegiggilo to a tipping competition, I am certain that I am a better form studier than he is. I too have a young children, however, I can afford to live in a big house with plenty of space and employ a nanny to look after the kids when I need to do my job as a pro gambler. I do all this and still don't need to spend anywhere near 18 hours studying formAny racecard any day, any format of competition, you choose. |

The reason high rollers will often play games such as blackjack (in bricks and mortar casinos at least) is because often there is a conflict of interest or lack of communication between the department responsible for dishing out out all the freebies/perks/comps etc and those in charge of the gaming floor.
For example, if you are a high roller, then in most casinos in the likes of Vegas/Macau etc, you can agree to certain house rules with the casinos (particularly blackjack or baccarat), which can reduce their edge significantly (assuming 'perfect' blackjack is played), and sometimes even tip it slightly in your favour. You can therefore effectively play for all the free stuff (drinks, meals, flights, hotel rooms, shows etc etc) and pay little or nothing for it, and even come out ahead. Never underestimate the desire and willingness of rich people to want free stuff :) |

By:
yes it was a good day, ta very much. I got a new set a week ago but you're ruining them, lol. Running out of my mates now so the next one could be tricky. Fred closed me after 6 days despite losing considerably, although we know they don't go on win or lose.

Are these tip to win, or prices that will shorten?
|
|
By:
Shorten, but if you back all the overpriced ones you can't fail to win.

Easier said than done, mind. Getting on is the really hard part.

|
By:
software suggested they would come down, giggilo. Doesn't always work but usually pretty accurate. All 3 are lower now.

By:
You didn't try trading the 7/1 winner did you,unreal they had it on a mark of 75 looks more like a 90 horse I made it a 6/4 shot,the best value bet I've seen all year,thought the 7/2 was huge..

By:
no, small bet gigillo, or should I call you Sir?
 |

By:
I can only remember one bet in the last 5 years where something I liked has doubled in price and won,you could've had as much as you liked on at 6/1 on here,like I say on the mails the aws different class if you lok at my strike rate on the aw compared to the turf it must be 60% on picks the last month.Waste of time the turf,for the amount of work I have to do that's why I do lots of multiples just to try and increase the little bit of value there is and half the time the bets get screwed by the ground anyway or you're guessing what the ground will be.Sooner they get the aw track at Newcastle running the better..
