Bloody hell lads,this place could do with a dust.
Had a thought about how we could keep the thread of interest for a while.
Wedged,V,S.Rob,You are the horse men and the festival nears so how about a tipping contest including nap,nb and a third tip to give three per day.
First prize,Match ticket to Villa Park.
Runner-up,Match ticket to Riverside.
Booby prize,Season ticket for the toon.

Be a bit of interest though shirly?.
















Bit of interest as long as you dont land the booby of course!.

Wedged hahahaha u must have seen me sat after casino eh ;) how u doin
Cloughie what a good idea although coming last is surely better than second haha
im up for it:
wot bowt u yaself ?
i stopped posting as i tried to keeep thread going but was like talking to yaself haha

wedged -
remember the 5-3 game against arsenal when u's were 3-1 up at half time
joseph desire job with a brace?????????????? and ur fans were singing one job in teeside , theres only one job in teesideeeeeeeeeeee were all of them betfair horse racing traders like yaself haha ;) 1-1 :P
By:
cloughandtaylor
When: 11 Mar 10 23:37
Yeah Rob,
Those of us interested can just post them night before and have a bit of fun.
Say nap = 10pts. n/b = 5pts,other tip =3pts.
1 pt x sp added to all winners as we dont all want to be tipping bankers each day.
Just a rough idea off top of the head and hope someone can improve it.

Trainer giving jockey final instructions before the days big race.
They are interrupted by a guy who introduces himself as head of racecourse security.
"Excuse me" said the official,"I feel certain i saw you pass something into the horses mouth and demand to know in the interest of the sport exactly what the substance was"?.
"Simple",. replies trainer.
"Sugar lump,try one and i will swallow one also"
Head swallows,trainer swallows and head apollogises as he is only doing his job.
Trainer gives last instruction.
"Keep him handy in behind until furlong pole,bring him wide and believe me nothing will pass you before the line".
"Not unless it is me,or the head of racecourse security".

Ta Huge! new to BF i see, are joining in here?

Wedged - by pre off, I mean punting, i mainly play e/w bets, do ok. Last couple of weeks have tried trading in running and been poo at it, i think I am probably making very basic mistakes, shall I email what I am doing? you can tell me if I am way off! (which I am sure I am).

I'll be happy to have a read - but obviously there is no holy grail that can guarantee you a happy outcome - you might just have had a bad run?

Alright guys

Been experimenting with this challenge for the past 12 days now and have made slow and steady profits.

Instead of starting with £100, I've started with £50 just to see how things will go. As with much on Betfair I think the key is discipline as I general rule of thumb I have been locking in profits where I feel necessary and not staking more than 10% of my bank. My aim is to get to £1,000 anfd then reassess the situation.

I have just read the thread and the encouragement and general help you all give each other is good to see, I think the key with a challenge like this is too not lose sight of the long term goal.

I'm currently 5 days ahead of schedule and very happy with the way it is going long may it continue.

My bets for the next couple of days are:

Chelsea clean sheet - No @1.71
Bordeaux @ 1.59, under 3.5 goals in this game @ 1.26.

Any value anybody else has noticed elsewhere?

Welcolme Sparky, good to hear things going well so far. What you betting/trading on?

Wedged, just in from beers so will email tomorrow, i know there is no holly grail but I bet what I am doing is a silly strategy.

Free, your ALIVE!!

gud look to u sparky they look sound bets alothough inter could grab one if they catch chelsea on the counter if they go in search of an ewualizer on agg

VS when we starting from tomorrow??

When: 16 Mar 10 00:07
H VS I'm strictly limiting myself to football for the moment it is the psort I know far and away the most about. My betting on other sports is largely due to boredom and that never gets you anywhere.

If and when I keep this thing going may decide to branch out into tennis and snooker. Basically avoiding the racing at all costs!
By:
Valueee Seeeker
When: 16 Mar 10 00:11
Chelts predictions start tomorrow, 3 per day as per C&Ts suggestion - should be fun, i hope C&T is around to keep score! U on the Tennis? JJ in trouble!

Sparky, keeping to what you know a good strategy! I have a feeling Chelski will win 1-0 tomorrow.
By:
Sparky1983
When: 16 Mar 10 00:15
I'm having a small stake bet on Inter to score tomorrow, can see Inter scoring especially considering the Chelsea GK situation.

Then a larger bet on Bordeaux on Wednesday.

What do you mainly bet on VS. You attempting the same 2.5% challenge or attempting something different. How is it going?
By:
Valueee Seeeker
When: 16 Mar 10 00:19
I am on the 2.5% Sparky, except I am doing 2%, plan to do it for all of 2010 if possible.

I play on too many markets, footy, rugby, tennis, cricket and horses (horses not on here).
