stock markets are far more evolved than betfair and yet they are still far from perfect markets dominated by super sharp minds. Stock markets have ridiculous bubbles and busts as a whole and in individual markets. The stock market and betfair is far more driven by emotions than most people think. So incorrect prices happen all the time.

yet layers are to be taxed yoyo? How will losing uk layers be taxed?

1% turnover tax, EVERY style bookmaker

Those who answer YES to the question in the thread are talking complete nonsense.

The market has far more mugs in it than smart punters, and even smart punters are capable of making seriously mug bets.

There are cracking bets out there most days of the week when the market homes in on the wrong factors, it's just about developing the skills to identify them.

Cant say I have yet on a regular enough basis, but there are enough times when I am open mouthed about how punters are wrongly thinking to give me real hope.

sharp minds on here

Sorry for stating the obvious but:

I rather suspect that we, well most of us, realised a long time ago that the  dream, in reality, is not what it might once have seemed.
As a consequence I think, many have fallen by the wayside, some just carry on, and quite a few I think, have, over time, become more focused and, at the very least, hang on to what they've got in their account.
and so, in response to another thread in here, those who actually ARE turning a bean or three are NOT interested in discussing their methods for obvious reasons.
It's every man, or woman, for themselves here and good luck to us all.

Enjoy your day.
