Numpterous Numpterous Ghally

Thank you for demonstrating so vividly why reports of the demise of the GF are not exaggerated.

The forum is certainly not what it has been previously, but that's the same of all the internet forums, they gradually get diluted into mush.

2p2 being a great example. Pre-2003 it was the best ever gambling site. Then moneymaker won the wsop and the idiots invaded en masse and by 2004 it was a cesspit.

You do however only get out what you put in. There have been some reasonable debates on here this week, albeit a little lower level than I'd like. The excel query threads are almost always incredibly helpful and I'm sure that the various technical threads monitors/broadband/laptop types etc are helpful to those concerned with such matters. As I suspect are the API ones (though they always seem rather spammy to me)

There is an awful lot of crap, but the good news is that means there are still an awful lot of crap gamblers out there, especially given that I would happily bet that the forum as a whole represents the more thoughtful of gamblers.

lol

The greatest home goal ever scored and it's on the general betting forum.

Nice one, NNG, back of the net.

people moaning that they dont like the posts in the forum they use

has this ever happened before?

just and idea post more of what you would like to read

hth

There should be a forum where you can only read it and post if your longterm profit is above a certain level.

That would be superb. It would filter out all the Schalke-like threads, all the spammers, and generally (most of) the fools.

a premium forum for premium payers

This isn't some kind of Gentlemans club,as it say's on the Heading.It is a General Betting forum.Why dont you understand that.Maybe your just a fool Contrarian.If you want such debate.Why dont you just all start your own exclusive club or forum on Facebook or Twitter etc.That way you will be able to filter out all of us Near do wells.
Your some kind of Snobbish Buffoon,I dont like you & think that you deserve a good sound thrashing.

And you're right, I probably do deserve a sound thrashing, but somehow I doubt that you're the (wo)man? to give it to me!

Are you also suggesting that participants should have to pass some kind of Grammer test.You really are a total A**e.

In fact, Betfair should create a new Elite Forum. To read or post, you have to have a consistently profitable account (over £50k/yr), and have to pass a spelling, grammar and IQ test.

I bet your a fifty something ex public school fag by the sound of you.
Anyway I will not be posting again as you are just an annoyance.I cant believe that you havn't been jumped upon by more people on here,as you are just a total plonker.
The vast majority of people posting on here are all nice & polite with no snobish or elitist views.Just a General interest in varied betting subjects.Hence the Forum heading "General Betting".
Why do you not get the Heading & assume that all the hundreds of people who post on here are wrong & somewhat inferior to yourself.It's got to be small P*nis syndrome or something.
Ps,Sorry for my poor grammer,but we cannot be all perfect.

Well played Contrarian, game set and match to you

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are you really that seriously deluded?.

The author of the thread accused others of attention seeking despite starting a thread and contributing more comments,
How much attention can he want.
Your hero meanwhile,apart from bragging about being a major player here also attempted to appear more intellectual than the genuine guy he was**ging off.
Of course once your hero began to lose his rag he blew his cover and revealed his true identity.
At least he stuck around and made a bit of a fist of it,unlike your good self.

Broke my silence,just to say thank you Cloughy,you seem to be a little like your name sake.I'm just relieved that it wasn't just me taking offence to these "All talk & no Trousers"Idiots posting on here.
I am a pretty average sort of guy,done alright in the World,but no secret millionaire though.But I have known quite a few rich & succesful people having grown up in the horse world etc.One common thing that virtually all these people have is Humility & they certainly dont talk in that way,especially in public.So whether these 2 Plonkers are high rollers or not.They certainly have no class what so ever
My guess is a bedsit in some squalid street somewhere,failed business,Wife & children left them etc.There only importance in life, possibly talking big on here.Talk is cheap,but hey it isn't so bad.They are better at punctuations than I.

Numpterous Numpterous Ghally,

Good riddance you fool. Judging by your first post, your primary reason for coming on here was to spout some right-wing b*llocks. Why don't you try the Politics forum. You'll find plenty of like-minded souls there.

Well I have been quite busy betting on the racing at Cheltenham the last few days. I apologise that I was bit rude to some people the other day due to the excitement and stress of betting on the racing. Obviously you all like betting else you wouldn't be on this site, and all should feel welcome.
It's just that this used to, as Sandown who started the thread knows, be quite an interesting forum for discussing "general" betting concepts and ideas, yes there's always been a few idiots (myself included if you go back far enough as someone clearly did!) that have occasionally accidentally posted to the wrong forum, or posted topics deliberately that were off-topic as it seemed like a good place to get an answer.
Some peoples grammar may be better than others, and yes I should know better than to split the infinitive

Surely all of this falling out on here is about one thing.That to me,

seems to be what a General Betting thread should be all about.I'm

afraid that I tend to agree with N.N.G.If you want to discuss other

matters.Then you can surely start your own threads up.If they are

popular they will stay at the top of the thread.Then you would not

have Shalke etc bothering you.

Your views on certain tests and success to be able to post are a

little more alarming and smack as far more right wing than N.N.G.

Maybe a kind of Betfair Apartheid

If you are a several million player on Betfair,your not a very modest

person & you dont appear to have been very busy over the

Festival.One further point.Do you just want to ban these people

from the forum or Betfair completely.Because surely these people

of lower intellegence are what you are securing your untold riches.

I think maybe the challenge threads should have promotion and relegation.

If you post a thread that conforms to certain criteria and it succeeds, you get promoted to a better forum. If you post one that fails repeatedly, you end up in the schalke04um

Ha ha, nice one Lori.

I know it shouldn't be the case but other forums are used as sanctuaries for posting away from the challengers and such.

"Horse Antepost" has some good reading, the Clerkwatch thread build into a useful read over the flat season. There is a facebook group also setup where dialogue with the BHA is posted and users post their thoughts etc. Worth a look if you are not already a member, Sandown.

gl for the upcoming flat season, I'm sure Sea The Stars cannot be topped but plenty to look forward to...

Whoever starts a thread does, to an extent, have "ownership" of that thread in the sense that he/she has a right to direct the the course of the thread to his/her desires. If the thread originator was given some kind of editing control, whereby they could delete posts which they thought were not a positive contribution, then the quality of a thread might be maintained. If necessary, to avoid complete censorship, perhaps these "deleted" threads could be contained in some kind of separate appendix which could still be accessed. Even creating an area at the end of the thread might work, if it was prefaced by the wording "edited by thread originator."

Pretentious? Not pretending to be anything other than better than the cr*p found everywhere.

Elitist? Maybe, but there are dozens of forum headings so why can't one at least have the bar raised?

Ridiculous? The comment is. Nothing to support it.
