care to divulge any bets Investor?

Soccer: £37.00  Total P&L:  £37.00

Personally. I recently returned to Betfair with a £50 deposit to try a couple of things...

you only posting your losses these days Investor ?

Investor are you on pc2 now?

I guess if you are the odd big loss will help.

I'm 70k away from pc2 straight onto 60 % !!

Pistachios nailed it bored with posting wins. Unlucky investor no betting on dissalowed goals today :)

No he was unlucky yesterday betting on a disallowed goal apart from that been very lucky this year :)

Last 7 days;

Football: £647.34  Total P&L:  £647.34

Relatively pleased with that, should be £1.2k more though after losing £100 to a goal in the Wolves match and £1.1k on the Sao Paolo game on Thursday night (Redded out because I didn't want to lose my whole bankroll 3 minutes before they score the goal I was looking for!!!).

a good one the other week. man united at home to reading phil jones did his ankle after about 15 mins so valencia moved back to right back but was still priced at 17 for first goal. i make a right back atleast 30 for first goal so got fully loaded up then text investor to get on and i saw about £300 crash down

yes coach, highlight the pitfalls of this game

southcoast, 60% is painful. I'm on 40%. What are you planning to do when you hit it?

Here's an interesting tale of someone hitting the big time only to see it all crumble, from the early days of Betfair:

The Story of Ster

Hello everybody, a lot of you might recognise my name from use of this forum over the last couple of years. I thought I would make one last visit on this site to tell my story.

I've been gambling on horses since I was old enough to walk into a bookies. For the first few years it was a bit of a laugh, I lost but only small and I enjoyed the game. Along came the Likes of Flutter and eventually Betfair which made gambling a much fairer proposition and found I spent more time on these and less in the bookies.

Anyway my first year on here was reasonably unsuccessful but found I was learning new things all the time and I learned how to run 'books' whereby you can balance out a race for a guaranteed profit. I found that I could actually do 4 or 5 of these a day and actually make more than I was doing in work. Things actually went so well, I quit my job as a travel agent and went full time on here.

By the end of 2002 I had made enough to take 5 months off and go travelling in New Zealand and even become a member of the "£15,000 club" (who have made over £15000 in a Betfair year) and life was great, I was even part of the Betfair Premium Team, despite my liking for online casinos when I was bored. I did enjoy laying favourites or ones I didn't fancy but win or lose, it didn't really matter cos I was making plenty on the books

I went through money pretty quickly out there and came back pretty skint but with loads of good memories. From here on in though things started to go downhill. I borrowed money from credit cards to get me up and running again and found it much tougher and tighter to make books. I found that the margins had gone very tight and my method for making money had all but vanished.

I tried running books but found I made very little money and with bills to pay and no money coming in I spent less time running books and more time taking chances laying and betting. Eventually by the end of 2003 I had gone from running 5 or 6 books everyday to 2 or 3 a couple of times a week and not making anything on those even when I did.

The credit cards kept giving me more credit and the debt kept piling up, lying to my family, friends and girlfriend that everything was alright and that I was still making money on here. I found I had gone from an outgoing lad to a bloke who went home early on a Saturday night so he could lay US horses.

The pretence was kept up so much that I even booked 3 months away in Canada with my girlfriend knowing that I would have to borrow money from my credit cards just to get by.

Breaking point came last Friday when all of my cards were up to their limit, and I had no money to pay my rent, let alone have 5 grand spending money for 3 months in Canada in 8 weeks time. It all became too much and I cracked and told all to my parents and my girlfriend. Both were very upset to begin with but eventually we talked and devised a plan to get me back on track, away from gambling, and still go to Canada. I will be making my first GA meeting on Monday (only time I can get off work) and am really looking forward to it

I am posting this today just to let people know that even the supposedly best winners on here can end up finding themselves in the absolute pits and that help is available to those who need it.

I'd like to thank everyone who I had banter with on here, Kev, Woody, kirstie and all the Stow lot, and everyone else who I have known on here, but if I am to get my life back on track I cant come on here anymore and I will be deleting all email contacts from my inbox.

Many thanks to everyone for the crack but I wont be back.

Regards

Ster

The key was probably not to take 5 months off and come back skint and expect to start again on borrowed money.

C oral online are evens sprinter sacre (£20 max bet)

Good bet or arb as the lay price is 1.35

I'm surprised my account isn't restricted as have won a fair bit from them

Been a few easy arbs this week with the hills offers

Between £10 & £30 on their special prices

They went 10-1 ew on long run so went out and visted 5 local shops as that was a good offer.

They will announce tonight what there offer is for tomorrow. I will post on here what it is.

Next week they will be doing a priority price every day from noon

Pistachio hills will be 6-1 on Oscar Whiskey from 9am it's 6 to lay at the moment but should be down to 5.5 5.6 once hills have cut.
