The reality is only certain personality types will make it on here.Only the loner , anti-social obsessive compulsive need apply.

Agreed Terry, been doing it full time 5 months, made way more than i would in my previous job, but my word do i get bored some days, and i feel all my brain is capable of sometimes is calculating odds!!!

good going fred.. .looks like im the only loser here. and betfair are just lying about the 0.5% who actually make money on here..;)


It's 0.5% who are said to pay PC. Betfair said 2% of winning customers pay PC. I guess that means about 25% of accounts are in profit. Although this probably includes people that opened an account got their free bet, made some money, and never used the site again.

too many. the reality is, free time during the week is pointless, no one is about, and weekends on here you have to work on, its when the mugs are about, so ur not free when ur friends are. [...]


That is a major drawback. Move to Costa Rica and you'll have every evening free during the week ;)

Financially: poorer

But this is balanced out when I think of all the friends I have made on the forum.

Actually scrap that - poorer all round so!

Much better off, both time wise and financially.

Used to run a part time business on ebay pulling in £500 a month extra to pay off debt, go on hols etc, but seemed to take up all my spare time, and as I had a full time job too, I was knackered, never spent time with wife or going out etc.

Since giving ebay up and moving to betfair, I consistently earn a similar amount, if not more some months, but only need to spend 30 mins - an hour a day to get it (which I can do whilst at full time work!).
