3/4 months, I'll be back here with screens to show my progress, all based on what I wrote initially.

Based on the experience and knowledge you have demonstrated in this thread you'd better get yourself a copy of paintshop pro.

What does full time even mean? A lot of sport is played in the evenings and weekends, all you'd miss during the day is maybe some tennis, ocassionally cricket, and horse racing if at work, but you can easily still do a bit of betting in your lunch hours too, or even at your desk if your company is lenient!

Don't know why this is broken down into either/or scenarios all the time.

"Full time" gambling does not strike me as a healthy lifestyle either. Isolating, pressure to make money, no perspective with too much focus on gambling, why not just have the best of both worlds, a stable job to take care of the bills, and top up with winnings on here?

Last two months made about £200 each about 20% of bank. Most stock market fund managers would do anything to achieve that! But not enough to live on! Everyones needs are different for myself £1000 a month profit I'd give up my job. Find a few good systems.Ideally one for different sports. The above was for football, have a good one for flat racing and always looking for an edge.
Also approach it as a part-time business,keep records,etc,also read some philosophy & physcology.You can if you believe you can!

Hope it helps

Agree tony. I make a similar amount from arbing, trading and bonus hunting but could never live on the amounts I make (or at least live comfortably). Happy to spend an hour a day doing it but no more than that now. Full time it would be a different ball game, and imo probably one of the most boring jobs you could do ;)

Ove the next 3/4 months he started a string of some of the most calamitous tipping threads ever seen on Betfair.

The most spectacular being one that he abandoned after back to back lays of football teams @14 and 80 , both of which won .

During that time he also layed the winner of Britains Got Talent at 30+ as well as countless other classics.

Update 17:50pm: MONEY TREE was taken off due to ** voting. Feel free to vote again. £100 awaits the winner.



This is the best betfair poster poll. How can Money Tree not be listed? He would be a clear winner.

A Chance for people to invest in Odwyer's Pro Punting - and share in the profits - has arisen ......

Basically, I've messed up big style. I have won consistently on Betfair in the past, making around 27k in total from February to September last year and was even lucky enough to go to Flushing Meadows in New York and Wimbledon for the tennis, but in the last month it has gone very wrong because I have taken far too many risks. And because of this I have lost my bank and now have no funds left to work with. :-(

I am writing this to ask if anyone out there would be so kind as to lend me some funds to start again so I can build it up slowly into the numbers I made last year. I am very confident, and if you could do this, I will not only pay you back, but I will give you a massive slice of any profit I make in future on Betfair - which I expect to do.

I know this is asking a lot as you do not know me, but I will totally make it worth your while in future if anyone could do this.

If I started a 2k bank I could turn it into 100k in a year. It is do-able but it would take time, patience and consistent divisions of the bank into loads of markets and sports bets in order to minimise any potential losses.

I may attempt this in May and see my luck...

Starting Again
It feels that way anyway. I have 250 pounds so I'll see where it goes. It's not ideal of course as it's no where near a big enough starting bank to make a go of this, but I have little choice at the moment. I'll have to be extra careful and build it into something more manageable.

Thanks and good luck all!

I am still confident of making money on Betfair, but without any funds, this is obviously an impossible task.


At least he's confident Blush

Let it go Lori, you are better than resorting to getting digs in on somebody who so obviously needs some sort of help ( and I don't mean funds )
