Going to give this one more go, £1000 bank divided into 5 banks of £200. Patience, dicipline and nothing too risky. Lets see if I can do better than the origional 1.01-1.05. 199 winners in a row is still the highest run .......

Say no more!

Schalke, I reminded you of this before and you brushed it off. Lo and behold, you move outside of this zone and have done your bank in a short period of time. As posted above, you seriously need some help. You are a degenerate gambler and will keep on doing your nuts, chasing with £500 is not a good move. The Villa game the other night you got lucky, putting your money in with 60+mins to go was risky, today you did it with 45 mins on the clock. All your threads become a car crash in the end, you just don't learn.

Get help!

I used to live in Glasgow and i got out. I **ing hated it. Everyone obsessed with who's the best fighter/ drinker/drug taker. Get some money and go travelling and see the world man. Have a year out from betting/west of scotland culture. best thing you will ever do.

Many of you will be surprised that when I gave up my career I done gamblimg for a living for two years. I done very well and lived off the money but as time went on I had to dig into my funds as it wasn't quite enough.

Eventually I lost the big bank I had and if you don't have that then you can't bet properly. Thats when I discovered betfair and I tried many different way of betting. Then I stumbled accross the 1.01-1.05 bets and the thing was I enjoyed it so so much, better than any other type of betting. I get a rush from betting for a few mins, and even though the rewards are small, I like the challenge of building them up into a sizeable amount, thats what keeps me doing this. There is no limit to the amount you can win. It's great and I don't know why so many slate me for it when I have produced good profits but most important I enjoy it !

no limit to the amount u can win? doesnt that apply with all gambling? its not great, and u havent produced good profits and u only enjoy it when things are going well. u have a glass jaw when it comes to taking a hit. u love showing us every bet u strike with a big fat smile when the 3-0 lead holds on ( takes some clued up shrewdie to dig those out), yet scream like a lobster when it goes wrong. this thread has had a number of losses considering most of yr bets are nearly over the line or should be at odds ur playing. must be at least 7 or 8 other bets where u have also literally crept over line, so this thread could well have been smashed to pieces a long time ago.

Well, I done betting full time 2003-2004 and lived off the money, it was around £20k profit, that was just using accounts with bookies .....

Then when I stopped betting and went back into employment I joined Betfair. I have done most of my systems on here as you have seen. I would say I have made around £3,000 doing the 1.01-1.05 system, and on my other ones I would say I have made a loss, I still have to take into account in my first month on Betfair when I pressed the wrong box and lost a grand, other than that I'm doing ok. Not losing which is the main thing, not making a fortune either but I'm happy with it the now.

I do the odd bet outside this thread but not much, I should have lost a grand the other night, but Arsenal saved me ...

I know he keeps coming back for more and I know he doesn't listen, but that's enough gloating from grown men now, I feel.

Fact is there is nothing wrong with backing a 1/20 shot if it should be 1/100. Long run, you'll win.

Yes, it's the value debate again.

The problem Schalke had/has is that it was all so arbitrary and dependent solely on the match he was watching, whatever the odds it seems he'd lump on against two more goals happening, more often than not. Some (very) rare times I thought his bets looked value, most other times not so, but at those sort of odds on I wouldn't even touch value, but that's me.

He wears his heart on his sleeve, posting everything up here having everyone willing his bets beat so he will stop. As a suggestion perhaps if you're reading this, Schalke, you should do the opposite. Next time you're watching a match bet the big odds with a throw away fiver whenever you get the familiar urge to lay them... just a thought.

Gloating? Surely anyone posting a betting thread on here is see fame and adoration. Either that or they are trying to prove a "system" and sell it on Ebay. Surely it's the duty of respectable readers of this forum to question the motivation and the validity behind such "systems" so as to protect the more naive? Or shall we just turn a blind eye and watch people being taken for a ride as happened with the *** incident where "investors" in a system lost fortunes? (Not suggesting that Schalke has ever wanted to do this, but my arguement is still valid).

I see no problem with arbiary decisions based "soley on the match". That's how I make my own betting pay, and I'm quite succesful.

His approach is entirely illogical and irrational and that is why he attracts scorn.

Limiting bets to a given price range is no more sensible than only backing teams that wear blue. It is no more logical than only buying shirts that range from £150-£160.

The approach is entirely flawed and when he starts with comments such as 'I have the longest winning run on here' then it is hardly surprising that he gets mocked.
