I'm asking because I'm buying a place (to live in) from the proceeds of my own sale - but it I weren't, I was wondering what I would do with the money.

if i could get the bets on, the bookies. like taking candy from a baby. not on here, the odds arent good enough. i mean mug bookies like power, 365 and sid james. could turn 100k into 150k without even trying at their prices. thats why they limit everybody to 50p stakes unless youre utterly useless.

Spending 100k on a nice place is probably the best thing to do right now , gambling is dead , stocks high , rates non existent , at least your money's safe but i'd want 7% + rental yield for my buy , i wish i'd of spent more on a nice place , money's just a worry in the bank

lol! my 365 account was limited to 0.00 on everything!
logged in the other day for a laugh, not logged in for about 5 years so just curious. it let me log in, so my account still exists...tried putting a bet on for 50p...it said my maximum stake was 0.00! why do they bother keeping the things open?? |
|
By:
worse still , they don't let you close them
 utd at 6.6 , but 10.5 , hmm , they'll probably win a few just to mess me up still fancy city long term , but a long way to go yet thing is you get 7% while you sleep with property |

By:
you know theres more chance of the entire banking system collapsing than man utd winning the league. be honest!
 im not laying em though, cba. not worth tying money up for such a small return. |

i've gone off laying heavily over the years tbh bob
as you say it ties money up awkwardly that i prefer to keep in my bank now , all about turnover , how fast , how much instead |

By:
when some bookies got took over by sid james my account got transferred to them. my old sid james account was limited to about 50 quid at evens...but the new one had no real restrictions at all when i put bets in. but i never bothered actually having a bet. i figured theyd probably pull some terms and conditions out their @rse saying having two accounts made me the devil and they could steal all my money. even though they had opened the 2nd account themselves without ever consulting me. i thought it wasnt worth the risk.

laying just isnt worth it unless the odds are really short.
theres loads of things you could lay that have got no chance of happening. bournemouth 17.5 to win the league?? p1ss off! wouldnt back em at 500.0. but whats the point tying up money for such small returns? you think you dont need the money, but then there always comes a time when you need it for summat else. and then theres no liquidity to get out of the damn thing! |
|
By:
Betfair's just so poor lately , where have all the big punters gone , there's about £200 to lay utd @ 10.5
You can't even get a bet over £100 on if you want one , it'd all be quite easy if liquidity was 1k on everything ! all best bets come from bookies now , fact , but if you wanna lay off again you need separate funds I've had a bit on derby but not too much in case i have to lay off again on here |

ive devised a horse racing system that seems to make money consistently, but i cba to do it. would be glued to the racing all day to maybe make 100-200 quid a day on average depending on liquidity. maybe one day i'll give it a go when im not doing owt else. not my kind of thing though tbh. i hate getting up before 3pm for a start!

£30k on Premium Bonds, and hope for the best.
Bail out and get your wedge back when fed up waiting for a win. |

By:
lol i can barely make it out of bed at 6pm , let alone 2 pm
I know the feeling i used to think similar bob , but to get up every day 7 do it's a different matter , one terrible day & i won't gt up the next with the donkeyz |

id only do it 5 days a week at most. probably 4.
would drive me crazy doing even 6 days a week. dunno how people do it. i wouldnt do that if i made 5 grand a day. not worth killing yourself over money. |
