3setpoints isn't Bob, no way at all.
What happened to HorseRacingExpert? Was he banned, or did the school library stop providing internet access?

mactheknife is still here, posted on the boxing forum the other day
Was it Inner City Sumo who made a right mug of someone, they were bragging like mad I've got this I bet that, ICS then says you're talking shiite you are a liar, the guy gives him grief saying he hasn't a pot to piiss in, ICS then calls the guy out and says we'll put both our banks at a ridiculous price that obviously won't get matched and that will prove you are talking shiit. The guy says ok then lets do it.
ICS then sticks up about 200k
The guy puts up nothing and spends the rest of the thread getting slaughtered

Think he put up closer to 500k. And the other poster (i think) was RMB.
correct biscuit. a comedy highlight from the glory days.
dawsy took a staggering amount of abuse on here no wonder he quit
Horseracingexpert did something to the same effect he said something like "keep an eye on the under 7.5 goals market of X game at 6pm sharp. I will be putting up 1 million." IDK what he expected to happen
yeah, dawsy might as well have been sat at his laptop in a gimp suit.
brought it on himself though by being such a c0ck so much of the time.

I think I remember seeing the swinging magpie's name on here, he died 
i wasnt a big poster , but am still about , always read the forum ,but cant be asked ,
RIP How do you know for sure he died if you dont mind me asking
I was just reading SCOM's post. Actually, Im not sure if I was around when he still posted. He still have a thread on general betting titled his name so thats probably were I have seen it.
i think the special one is still on the forum(at least with one of his aliases), but probably stopeed posting as frequently as he used to
there are some great blast from the past type names on that ics thread. amazed it's so recent, actually. thought it was way more than a couple of years ago.
texas..nobody knows for absolute certain i suppose, but i was listening to betfair radio one morning and they got an email to say the swinging magpie from the betfair forum had died and did they think his very last tip had any chance..it was from either his wife or daughter..tbh it did strike me as strange that on the day of his death his family were emailing to ask about his tips..but there you go he never posted again since that day
Anyone remember the Stoke inbred Leoonahigh .
He got battered and did a runner . Remember his picture ,he got it banned nobody got as much stick as he .

thank you mate.. welcome!
Looks on the various dedicated team threads you see a lot of posters you would have thought had gone but decided to stay within their own little community and don't come out to play! Inbreds! 
What about Hornets and the all time classic thread where everyone thought he was dead,There was Forumites ringing up Betfair n all
Actually can anybody bump that thread,it's well worth a read.
yeah, dawsy might as well have been sat at his laptop in a gimp suit.
brought it on himself though by being such a c0ck so much of the time.
haha is viva ever nice about anyone? what's his problem? small penis surely

RS1 disappeared and took his legendary seethe with him. One of the Forum's finest moments for sure.
yeah, 3SP
just not you.
and what has one done to warrant such unfriendliness

Are Redundant Punter and the Sandown Hill still around? Two that stood out for me as having something interesting to say. I just lost all interest as the children took over the asylum. Look every once in a while but was never a massive poster to start with! My old mate and City fan leepee. Is he still around too?
Me for a long time, was moose10 before that so long time lol. So much so I hardly recognise the majority now, of course you could have a lot of changed usernames.
Just cant handle the hate during the football season in here. People turn into the most vile people on here than Ive seen anywhere across the net. Maybe its better now, but I doubt it

milan12milan, actually he was banned for flogging his forum
Where's Dawsy when you need a good seething rant after a Derby game?
what happened to ffe?
I posted on here a few years ago and he seemed to be one of the main faces on here,
Also the forum seems a lot quieter than it was, anyone know why?

No new registration since august last year are allowed Liam
Also, the banning of milan was plain daft, it was nothing to do with selling anything, links are ok if it doesnt involve trying to rinse money from people

Fat Face was previously the life banned Nashwan , and FFE was banned too after about 6 months , which must have been late 2009 .He is on Twitter
The Forum is much quieter because Betfair stopped allowing new customers joining the forum over a year ago . So the people who are banned/get bored are never replaced anymore.

People were banned from joining the forum to stop Bob Vegas from creating a new account every time he was banned
Was supposed to be a temporary measure

Rex Oedipus, Blatch, HateWestBrom, Albert Farnsworth, Barnacle Bill. All real old school.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ and all very prolific posters in their day.
tho Blatch did have a very good reason to stop posting, lol. And some of the others were probably banned come to think of it but it was long ago.
Me. I stopped about the same time as cgull amongst others.
Got fed up with all the drivel posted

Ironic that so many of the posters that originally posted on this thread are now the ones who were not banned but stopped posting.
Hi Tobermory, how's life? The forum is still going I see.....just!
Hi Mr Eko !
Yes it is basically fkd. I worked out - in 2016 - that posting was at 15% of the level of 2010, God knows how low it is now, less than 10% of what it was I expect.
What happened was the upgrade that everyone moaned about in May 2010 created a loophole that enabled anyone banned to create another account withing 2 minutes and by August 2012 there were 3 people creating 5 or 6 accounts per hour (as each previous one was banned) and spamming the forum with dozens of idiotic threads at a time. Betfair's solution was to just stop any one joining. This 'temporary' measure lasted for 18 months and so everyone who left or was banned was not replaced. That pretty much halved activity here. When they finally allowed new members to join it was through some interminable process that involves waiting 6 months and then having to send repeated emails requesting posting rights. So bviously hardly anyone bothers with that.
The result of all this is that about 2,000 forumites have left and maybe 45 have joined.

I also think it's still nowhere near as user friendly as it used to be. It took me what felt like 2 minutes to load up the forum. They also ruined it by having two football forums, one for betting and one for "chat", and of course things like twitter are just more accessible on a mobile.
It's a real shame as this forum used to be a hive of chat and help, compared with twitter where it's essentially people chatting to a brick wall most of the time.

This forum is like one of those derilict, long-since abandoned American Shopping malls that used to be a buzzing hive of activity in its hey day, now all you get is people wondering in now and gain to see what it looks like inside, looking around for a bit before clearing off, needs demolishing IMO, they could try and reinvent it but just like the high street, there's something better on offer these days for most peopl (twitter where most have migrated) and they don't want to, no gambling sites bar this one allows for forums, this forum has basically been in managed decline for some time, it will eventually close down for good.
The forum isn't that accessible is true, but ultimately it's not accessible because it doesn't need to be/they don't want it to be. There's barely any sign ups allowed so it's not like it needs to be plastered over the front page.
They could have solved the issues they had so easily through other ways if they wanted, eg. making only customers who had completed KYC be allowed to join the forum pretty much would solve the spam account stuff immediately and unlike the old days you have to do KYC stuff immediately these days.
Forums are generally on the decline which is probably why they don't do anything about it, but they haven't declined anywhere near as much as if they'd just left sign ups open. I would guess usage has more like halved vs 10 years ago, whereas there probably isn't even 5% of the activity 10 years ago here.

I had lunch with nobbyclarke today and he was most surprised to learn of his death but also touched that anyone remembers him.
He's retired now and lives a few miles outside Nice. He sends his love and best wishes.

Capt_Fcuk-up If you think I am hft fine. I have no problem with that. You are wrong but I guess you are well used to that.
I don't think I'm touchy in the least;I said I was fine with you calling me hft.
Why wouldn't I be, you are the one who looks silly.
Please carry on.
