Where are you going to advise this thread be moved to?

So, what would you class as a "general betting" topic?

There are loads of threads on this forum that have nothing to do with betting, people ask about house appliances on here, people ask about all sorts of things.

The threads I do and many others are to do with betting .... and if you look the forum is called general betting ....

If you persist on getting threads moved you are going to cause a lot of hassle on the whole betfair forum, there are thousands of non related football threads on the football foruim, there are loads of betting threads on chit chat when it's not a betting forum, you are treading in deep water mate from causing chaos !!

The reason that I stopped posting on Your Competitions is because of an outcry on that forum that the threads we were doing there were not competitions !! If you look at that forum the threads are very suited there ... so Challenges, £1-£100, threads with losts of bets in them ....

Look, all we would have to do is start a thread called "Betting Thread"

Betfair won't move it !! You are wasting your time pal !

Oh and as Betfair have told me, Betfair do not read the forum so your posts are going on deaf ears or blind eyes mate ! And technically, Betfair do not run the forum .....

Then we will ask Betfair to have a Challenges group, it is simple.

I have only started my campaign tonight. I have no wish to make enemies, though I am not afraid of doing so either. Please see the Sandown thread a week or so ago, he is my inspiration.

You have no chance mate, all we have to do is put a different thread title ... it's our forum too, and we are happy doing our betting threads here, they have been here for 5 years !

I actually sympathise gb, but you've picked the wrong thread there. There's more betting theory in that one thread than the rest of the posts on the front page added together.

In fact I should probably have written an e-book rather than posting in that thread :^0

Schalke I have made a lot of money from betting on this site, which has transformed my life. Most of the ideas I have came from this forum, and would like to give something back to the forum.
But it is not possible as it has been hijacked.

Hijacked when?

I have been using this forum for 5 years and you put this up now?

Ignore the threads you don't want to read and they sink eventually.

It does, however, seem the quota of personal challenges has increased of late. Perhaps brought on by the financial climate :)

The plus is I spend less time in the forum than I used to and seem to be doing more time researching plays.

I met someone that is a very successful punter who uses betfair. He has never posted on the forum. Support to the point that the successful punters don't post because they don't have time since they focus their energy on the game.

Though i agree with getting better. - Over the years I did learn alot from the general forum.

But can say I've learnt nothing new from contributions over about the past six months or so.
