haha u want some, take it easy, i know what u mean its quite a risk but you only need 2.5% increase per bet so why not restrict it to jusmaking that? that way u dont lose whole bank?

The thing is stevie (i don't want to sound like a t!t) i have a decent size bank so it feels quite strange betting with £25 here and there but its worth it and back to backing for me. Im going soon so i'll see you all tomorrow :D

Day 27 Free, nice one. You should go AWOL more often ;)


Well done Rob, I may have a look at tennis for evening betting after the horses are done. As long as that doesn't drain me too much tho! I may bother you for some suggestions.

guna back melanie oudin 2-1 in set betttin for a tenna @ 4.8 for sum interest to top off a good night and im wide awake
if it wins ill try 3 more set betting @ 3 or higher just rolling over

melanie oudin is 1.25 to win this but it only takes a slow start for her to f up
also this fixture on hard court was 2-1 to mel so y not on clay
she isnt tht good of a player imo gl
welll done freee great work

wedged i dont think i wud leave my job to do bf full time expecially with the credit crunch going on lol
besides the money being a good side earner im doin well pottering on through the weeek etc making some money whilst watchin sports i enjoy
i suppose i wusdnt enjoy them as much if i solely relied on winning for a living
do u know what i mean do u feeel that way with the gee geees or r u confident enough ?

When: 13 Apr 10 23:58
true rob mate i agree with you totally, use to think i would be able to do this fulltime but theres no way i could.. its FAR too risky tbh unless u got couple of hundred grand bank. :)
By:
Wedged
When: 13 Apr 10 23:58
Yeah I know. The thing is I see horse racing as work, and was never really in to it. I still wouldn't watch it/read about it if I wasn't betting on it except for the big ones.

If you can do both, work and trade, then that's probably best. Sometimes it's a bit slow when you're not getting out and about meeting people etc too.

tbh u need to know what ya doing with anysize bank but the fact tht id be replyin on winning wud be too stressfull for me. Wedged i think thats a big bonus for you havin not been very interested in horses and jst the prices matter to u. I also enjoy working with the ppl i do (hate working weekends though :P ) ... stilll guna hit this yahout though soimetime haha

I can play, often do really well then get excited and lose it all. But it's only a bit of fun.

A few of us could go on one of the betfair poker tables, small stakes or fun money, sometime?

By:

When: 14 Apr 10 00:46
Quito v Cerro
Cerro have just scored to make it 1-1 from a pen.
I've only just switched the game on but on what I know about the Libertadores, i'd expect Quito to win 3-1,4-1+ at home.
Not sure what to play yet :)

Couldn't play poker for real in person, I get bullied too easily. I'm a pessimist so I always presume i'm beaten and a large raise scares me off ha

Mainly in London cos the gf got a mint job down there that she couldnt say no to and since i can work anywhere we went.

I'm not on anything atm free...

PS How about OffScottFree ? ha
