mos, if you place more than 1000 bets in an hour you are charged or them although this is offset against commission generated.

Investor, it's not a bug or anything amiss, just my betting volumes being jiggled around by changes in market dynamics an me withdrawing form unprofitable markets. Unfortunately it's a bit of a black art but 2k is too much so further action needed!

I know football betting is over for me but still failing to digest the fact.

Haven't been here for ages!

Nobody is! people suddenly realised numbers next to sports is a weird hobby to have.

You're an oligarch i believe, so don't worry, you've got your newspapers and oil refineries to fall back on.

Nice to see you guys saving the thread.

I try.

% next to months could be the way forward makes a nice change from numbers next to sports i guess.

good point.

Had a good month, my small bank is starting to grow a bit.

Football: £201.16  Total P&L:  £201.16

Yes benny, massively important as far as I'm concerned. The stat above is actually what I care most about of all!

It is pretty time consuming, but I've discovered interesting stuff pouring over my bets.

With my manual trading only, I've had 46456 bets matched over the last 30 days on football. My question would be how on earth could that possibly NOT be worth analysing in minute detail!

With my ultra low margin / high volume market making activity, I've always suspected that it must be the case that people out there are systematically beating me with a fat margin of multiple %, and I'm making that back balancing supply / demand against the fun bettors and taking my tiny fraction of 1%. The guys with the fat margins are probably people like you , and I want to skew my positions in the same direction as the people that make money with their view of what's going on fundamentally, so I look for ways to see whether large bets are made by someone who really knows something or a rich leisure punter.

My aim for the remainder of this year and the coming one, is to keep increasing turnover without further eroding my margins. My margins for 2012 will almost certainly be better than 2011, despite much higher volume, and that will be the first time I've ever achieved that (I've always made more each year than the last, but my margin has always dropped in previous years).

that said, if u havent already found a way to profit more than 1% by urself then u wont definitely find a way by searching your bets for other peoples bet and following them
